hi I was struggling with this question myself for quite a bit. and, as it usually turns out, this is a very easy thing to do: 1. Open the Creation Kit. 2. Select "File" 3. Select "Data" 4. The plugin window will now open again, this time select the mod (x) and then select "Set as Active File" 5. The status of the ESP should now display "Active Plugin" instead of "Plugin File" 6. Select the "OK" button. 7. Any plugins which are listed for the plugin you are trying to edit will be automatically loaded even if you have don't the Creation Kit not to load them up. 8. The ESP will now load. 9. Object window will appear. Go to Character=>Race, open race you want, edit stuff. 10. Press OK, then NO, then YES 11. You're done! Hope it helps
