Sacrosanct Unified Patch to resolve conflicts with Timelost Dwemer and Ancient falmer
Minor updates for Sacrosanct Patch and Sacrilege Patch
Sacrilege Patch adds Ancient Will ability to snow elf vampires
There are several Snow Elf race mods on the Nexus (such as Playable Dawnguard Snow Elf Race, True Snow Elf Race, etc), but I wanted to put together my own mod using recolored and edited high res assets from the Skyrim community's wonderful modders and creators. This mod is inspired by BetrayalSeeker's Snow Elf Overhaul.
Though long thought to be extinct, the remnants of the Ancient Falmer race are emerging from their hidden underground enclaves. Some are survivors, returning to the surface after enduring thousands of years of war and constant danger. Others are but mere children, bearing witness to the light of day for the first time in their lives. But whether young or old, these falmer walk the hostile land of Skyrim knowing that they are the last of their kind, and that one wrong step could extinguish their race forever.
