Turning my Tiefling into a Race

[dePog]

Hey Guys,

 

Wondering if anyone can help me combine all my character tweaks and turn this into a Mod. I have posted in one of the other sections, but think it was the wrong forum for this topic, so I am reposting here.

 

The Tiefling in Neverwinter Nights was one of my favourite characters so I decided to try and make a Skyrim version. In order to make the game different she has a number of handicaps compared to the usual races in the game.

 

Handicaps like:

- She cannot access any restoration spells (no healing from spells)

- All potions act as poison (no healing from potions)

- Her health takes over a day (game time) to regenerate (healrate = 0.002)

- She has no Stamina or Magicka regeneration unless she eats foods that supply regeneration

- Her daedric father has put her in chains which stops her from wearing any armour

- Because of her appearance traders charge her exhorbitant prices to buy and will not give her anything for sale items. Therefore, she has to make everything herself.

 

However, because she is half human and half Daedra she has some extra special abilities, such as:

- Her base stats are: Health = 2000, Stamina = 1000, Magicka = 300

- She can jump twice as high as a human

- She starts the game with the two base Stealth perks and two of the Archery perks (zoom and stagger)

- She also has the Night Vision perk

 

She also gets bonuses from the wrist, anklet and collar chains that her father makes her wear and her horns and tail. Such as:

- 40% bonus to Lockpicking

- 80% bonus to Sneak

- Immunity to most paralysis and draining effects

- Muffle

 

These make her a true creature of the night and shadows which is necessary because she is very vulnerable in a straight out fight (no armour and no healing ability)

 

I play with Requiem, Frostfall, More Dynamic Injuries, and iNeed just to make the game more difficult and realistic. I have used the Creation Kit to change most of the potions into poisons and also make the Restoration perks virtually unattainable.

 

This has completely changed the "feel" of the game. You have a lot of health and stamina to start the day, but you know you won't be able to get any top ups from potions or magic. I also have waiting turned off, plus, because More Dynamic Injuries means you could end up with extremely low blood levels and broken limbs it is imperative to carry a tent to allow you time to heal if you are badly hurt after a fight.

 

My Tiefling uses the Lunari race as the base, then I add a tail from Mystic Tails, and horns from Angelic Halos and Demonic Horns mods. The trouble with this is that in quests like the ones at Elewens Party at the Thalmor Embassy where you get all your gear taken from you, it also takes off your horns and tail. Does anyone have any idea how to make the horns and tail permanent attachments?

 

So my list of questions that I need help with is:

1. Can I make an esp that changes the values/characteristics of items found in other mods (Requiem, Frostfall, etc). I presume each person using my mod would previously have to load these mods that my mod depended on?

2. Is there a way to make the horns and tail a permanent fixture to the characters body?

3. Ultimately, if the above two questions are possible, is anyone interested in helping me turn Tiefling into a race?

 

Thanks for any input you might be able to give me as to how to combine all this into a mod.

Back Story: As you probably gathered Tiefling doesn't have a great relationship with her Daedric father. She is the daughter of a Lunari girl who was unfortunate enough to be so pretty that the Daedric lord couldn't keep his hands off her, hence the arrival of a Tiefling 9 months later.

 

When Tiefling was born with horns and a tail her mother was shunned by her family and friends and so Tiefling and her mother lived alone in the mountainous backwoods of Skyrim for 18 years until the Daedric lord heard that he had a daughter and decided to pay a visit. He was immediately smitten by his beautiful young daughter and wanted to grant her the same "favour" as her mother. However, Tiefling was understandably disgusted by the idea and would not give in to her father's inappropiate incestuous advances.

 

Her father gave her the choice of either accepting his "love" and become his concubine, or she could have her freedom but bear her shame by being shackled around the wrists, ankles and throat as a symbol that she rightfully belongs to him. As a token of his supposed good will toward her he enchanted the chains so that she could be reminded that he "loved" his daughter. Her father also warned her that if he finds her without the shackles and wearing armour or clothes he will slay her mother without further discussion.

 

So, two years later we find Tief (the name she calls herself) has managed to survive on her own. Ever trying to fend for herself in the wilds and (acutely aware of her naked shame) only venturing into the villages and cities when it is absolutely necessary.
