Creating a custom race

Recommended Posts

I used the CK wiki to create a custom race, and it worked, I have a basic custom race. Good, now comes the compatibility issues.

 

It's known that said tutorial is completely obsolete, and doesn't tell you how to make your custom race compatible with vampires, werewolves or the new vampire lord. Since I have a few installed custom races [like the Vaalsark, pretty good for an alpha/beta mod] I know there is a "race compatibility.esm" included in some race mods. I just have no idea where I can get it [updated version], or how to use it.

 

I'm not sure either what ESM files I should use besides Skyrim.esm. Is the Update.esm obligatory as well?

 

I'm just trying to assemble the resources I have into a working race, to edit what is necessary later [visually, at least].

I'm aiming to make use of a lot of custom files, like head, body [probably skeleton too], textures and voice, and let the race be affected by hair mods [instead of adding more stuff, keeping the project to being bloated with more files] - of course, all these in their own separated folder paths.

For my own custom race I used the tutorial here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10165. I don't have Dawnguard but this tutorial helped me get things working fine with the base game, where as the wiki tutorial is out of date. You can also take a look at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21639 to see if there is anything useful there relating to Dawnguard. I haven't go through that page myself so I'm not sure.

 

Hope that helps a little...
