Gaius Octavian Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've been playing around with the console for a little while (originally to try and fix the broken Blood on the Ice quest and the broken house that goes with it) and just discovered ShowRaceMenu works. I was wondering if there are any known side effects to this yet? I remember in either Morrowind or Oblivion it'd reset you to level 1 or something that. I just want to know if it'll break my character or the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkSIDES Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yes it changes some of your stats, did it and it set my Archery from 43-70 and my conjuration from 75-25. It changes most of your stats around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavian Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 That's a shame. I guess later on when I'm not so lazy I can write down all my stats and set them back with the console. Thanks for the info, +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foulfrost Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It only messes up your stats if you actually change your race. You can re-adjust whatever you like as long as you stay the same race. No harm done.Be warned though, I've had a LOT of bugs all over this game and I believe some of them are related to using this command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathstruck Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've used it for some time, and did not encounter any game breaking stuff so far. Granted, all I did was changing the skintone or scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavian Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) OK I changed my haircut and my face a little. All my stats are the same. Looks like you're right. In that case I'd guess the bug happens when you change race because all the races have different starting stats, so it has to change them. I'm going to see if I can change my sex without problems. Yep you can change sex. My character is now a tranny. Don't judge me! Edited November 28, 2011 by Gaius Octavian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep you can change sex. My character is now a tranny. Don't judge me!From the Skyrim Wiki: showracemenu - Bring up character customization menu. * NOTE: Your health Magicka, Stamina, and Health levels will be spread evenly on using this depending on your character's level. It will remove any point distributions that were custom. * NOTE2: Make sure you are in the third person view before editing your character, otherwise you will be invisible, and unable to see the changes made on your character * NOTE3: can be Used as Vampire to fix Odd Skin/Facecolor Matchings and will not Spread your Stamina/Magica/Health Levels while you use it as Vampire, if you changed something while be Vampire and Cure yourself with lycanthropy the light Skin will stay...but also here you can use Showracemenu and alter it back to normal again without merging Stam/Magic/Health (can only confirm this as Argonian) * NOTE4: will NOT modify your attributes/skills/points/etc. unless you change the race, sex, or select a preset from the list. Modifying purely cosmetic things like skin color/warpaint/hair/face shape/etc. will leave your points unchanged. TIP: if the character moves it's hands in front like they were tied, it's a clear indication that the skills will be messed up; if the hands remain parallel to the body it's fine. * NOTE5: A way to fix the modified attributes error is to simply re-equip your gear. It may not be the best fix but it is better than nothing. * NOTE6: will remove racial resistances when used until you re-load from the main menu.

Gaius Octavian Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 The first note fails to mention that it apparently only applies to race changes also. I'm (still) a Dark Elf but changed to female, and my magicka/health/stamina are 140/300/290 respectively, just as they were before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
