The Selachii - Shark Race SE - WIP 3.40 WIP

 

 

Special Edition

 

v3.40

---- WIP ----

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

This is NOT a fully working and feature complete version of the race. This is just a quick and dirty port of the latest version of the race to Special Edition, for those better versed in SE shenanigans that may want to help with testing (and perhaps even patching/development) for the race mod.

 

Assuming there aren't any glaring bugs or issues on what little content is included, it may also be of use to anyone wanting to use the race in SE but unsure about porting the mod themselves on their end for personal use. Nevertheless, this file is not guaranteed to work fine or be suitable for a serious/long playthrough for the time being, so beware.

 

(Note that the description below is a quick rewrite of the full/LE one so some info may be wrong or may reference assets or features not currently present in this port. Likewise, the pictures were all taken in LE so they shouldn't be considered fully representative of what this file has to offer).

 

Things that will be missing compared to the LE version:

 

• HDT Hairs (since SE only supports "hair physics" for wigs using HDT SMP).

 

• (Equippable) HDT Tails (since the HDT PE config used for the tails doesn't work for HDT SMP).

 

• Wearable Sarashi/Fundoshi items (since they would require BHUNP/CBBE conversions).
  • ---> (Male characters will still have a "placeholder" blue fundoshi when not equipped with a Slot 52 item so as to avoid the "visible crotch hole" bug when undressing in the inventory and/or when under heavy script load that causes SOS' equip to lag).

 

• Female SOS stuff (see above point about conversions).

 

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO CBBE PATCH AVAILABLE

so BHUNP or some other UNP-based body is REQUIRED for female textures to work.

 

Please do report any bugs or issues you come across! I can't guarantee I will fix them right away (or anytime soon), but at the very least having bug reports will help whenever the time comes for me to get down and make a proper full-fledged SE port.

Description:

 

This mod adds a custom playable shark race with fully animated headparts and total support for Vampirism.

 

The main race is intended for use with an UNP compatible body replacer for females, and with SOS Full for males. Includes native support for BHUNP "Special" based bodies.

 

REQUIREMENTS:

 

FOR THE MAIN VERSION OF THE MOD:

 

--- SKSE64

--- RaceMenu SE
--- XPMSSE
--- RaceCompatibility SE
--- SOS - Schlongs of Skyrim SE
--- UUNP/BHUNP/UNP Compatible body

        \--> Alternatively, a vanilla body may work without extreme bugs, but it won't be pretty.

 

And their respective requirements, if any.

 

Race Information:

 

"Native to the shores and seas of Akavir, the Selachii are an amphibious race descended from feral sharks. Known for their talent as warriors and sailors, they are commonly hired by trading and mercenary companies alike, and they are rarely seen far from the sea or other bodies of water. Their thick skin and their claws give them an advantage in combat, and they are even known to use their jaws as deadly weapons against their foes."

 

SKILL BONUSES:
One Handed - 10
Two Handed, Archery, Smithing, Light Armor, Restoration - 5

 

RACIAL POWERS/ABILITIES:
Gills - Waterbreathing
Apex Predator - increased movement speed when swimming (x1.75)
Talons - 12 points of extra unarmed damage
Thick Skin - 16 points of base Armor rating
Cold Waters - 50% resistance to Frost
Shark Bite - bite attack that restores the player's Health by the damage dealt and also causes enemies to bleed. Damage value starts at 25 and scales each 5 levels.

 

OTHER INFO:

 

--- Height: 1.05 (Male and female)

 

--- Custom heads and head parts created by NightroModzz using assets from CITRUS. Hi-poly, detailed, and completely compatible with morphs, phonemes and facial expressions

 

--- Lots of hair styles for males and females, converted both from the vanilla game and from other sources like KS Hairs.

 

--- Several different fin ring (material) options for both males and females.

 

--- Several eye color uptions using vanilla Khajiit and Argonian textures, for males and females + Custom eyes created by KrittaKitty and nevenbridge81.

 

--- Custom clawed hands for both genders.

 

--- Custom beast feet by Bad Dog, available in plantigrade version.

 

--- Limited tint options (based on vanilla Argonian tint designs).

 

Files:

 

--- Shark Race SE 3.40 WIP - MAIN - UNP and SOS: Main plugin of the mod. Required.

 

Notes for Character creation:

 

--- Face tint sliders available: warpaint, lips, cheeks, cheek lower, forehead, eyeliner, eye socket upper, dirt.
--- Complexion slider will change between smooth and ridged head texture for males, and between default and fin-less head normal map for females (use the Facial Hair slider to remove fins to achieve this effect).
--- Facial hair slider will add and remove fins (with different ring styles) for females and males.

 

Known Issues:

 

--- As a side-effect of the way RaceCompatibility works, some vanilla Argonian head parts will show up for the sharks. They can (and should) be safely ignored.

--- The Shark Bite attack had to be classified as a Shout in order to be able to trigger the "biting" anim and to properly cast the spell. If you have any mod that is triggered by/checks for any kind of Shout (and not only vanilla ones), using the Bite may interfere with it.
