Shade115 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I'm looking for any races that where well worked on but the Nexus holds no fruit, I'm really getting bored of the Human Races I have so I'm looking for anything not Human such as Elves, Beasts, Animated Life-forms (Robots like Dwemer Machines) and etc. Race mods that I already use: Ningheim Naiad Dryad Vaalsark Lovergirls - no longer used Assortment of Trykz's Races Drow Chocolate Elves Drakian Wood Half-Dryad Marsh-walker & Ohmes-Raht Maormer Matera Sandmer Succubus Kitsune - no longer used and Siren Some of these I am however planning on Uninstalling soon
Shade115 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 Ashen Make your own? I have been thinking about learning to make races actually and I've already used the Ashen got bored of it
quin666 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Why hate most races? Just another pretty face with lame powers? Compatibility issues? Can create same character with different mods? Just curious dat all.

Just curious dat all. The 3rd part is what hits it on the head of the nail, It's the fact that a lot of characters can be made with already existing races making some of the humanoid races feel... well Obsolete
Shade115 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 Oh also a reason why I like race mods is that I have a habit to just not use a character if I don't find he/she unique to the world of a game like TES Edit: also just because I'm bored of a race doesn't mean it's a bad race it's just that I don't find them very unique in-fact when they have a unique power it makes them far more worth it

Sadly I feel same way, I can mimick races with different mods. Only races use over year was Milky Girl and Ashen. Most my characters been Redguard or Nord.

Most my characters been Redguard or Nord. Yeah that's why I look for some unique race like Vaalsark and Siren, It would be very difficult to mimic them with mods such as ECE (enhanced character edit) or Race Menu, It's why I put this up to see if there are any other unique race mods in the works or already out 2 that I already know about (Aren't for everybody) are the Cellan and Shark races that are both WIPs but the Shark is at a halt because vbo got discouraged and they're out of a mesh maker

Right now same trend, Elin only real race you call a race.lol Just want pick race my main goal beat shit out people with super powers. Not weak ass wait a day powers. At moment just lurking in shadows waiting on somebody release Blade&Soul race or something.lol
remois Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Well this one was original: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34514 I don't know about usability since it's tiny but original and unique nonetheless

Mistle Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I have gone back to playing standard races because I got so tired of as you guys say, "Another pretty face or compatibility issues" RCF causes some of my mods to not function and that annoys the hell out of me personally. only thing I want to change would be the argonian and khajiit other then that .. I just don't care any more :/.... tho that shark mod would have been cool >.>;.

I just don't care any more :/.... tho that shark mod would have been cool >.>;. What's with the hostility I'm just saying that the uniqueness of the race mods out there is very slim as all of them are either a slightly edited human/elf or the default race with different stats and I haven't found races with compatibility issues yet... there are few truly unique races out there that I've seen and I'm making sure I haven't missed any which so far I really haven't (although I didn't pay close attention to the China Doll one but after close attention I saw that yes this is unique in is own way)
Mistle Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 if that came off wrong it was not supposed to I assure you I was just agreeing that there is a lack of uniqueness with races for skyrim, sorry if that came off wrong or something else not intended I promise , I do wish there was more though.. oblivion had soooo many cool races that I used to use but in good faith I could not go back to playing that game now but I wish some of the race would be ported over.
Phygnos Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Creating a non-human race is a risky time investment. If it's too human, people won't bother with it or be turned away by its animal-like parts. If it's too bestial, many people won't be interested at all. Plus there's the obvious issues of clipping if they have appendages that humans don't. OP: I didn't see Celestials on that list. Granted, they're pretty much human, but Shaydow did impressive work with the spells and such. http://www.loverslab.com/topic/11208-shaydows-celestial-race-transformations-armors-v5-123112-update/?hl=celestial But.. it DOES have more compatibility issues than most races, probably because of aforementioned spells.
Occultdrake Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 didn't see where anyone mentioned it before but you should check out Trykz's races here http://www.loverslab.com/topic/8488-custom-race-mods-by-trykz-undergoing-reconstruction/ all of them are high quality and most of them i think have dawnguard vamp support as well.

quin666 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Love MoonShadow Race in Fallout. Try MoonShadow Race for Skyrim, after while too much trouble.lol Vampire issues, Dawnguard and got Dragonborn. Have character from start do almost everything. Who need pretty face race and powers when add mods rape opponent with Vergil like swords.. Skyrim still in early stages so best sit back wait. Custom Race+Dawnguard+Dragonborn+Vampire+People mods= problems Original Race+People mods=
rylasasin Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I know, right? I really don't understand why people feel the need to make several human races. I mean, we already got 4 vanilla human races in the game and mods to make those look better. If I wanted to be a humie, I'd play as a freakin imperial/nord/bret/redguard. Granted, I have roughly the same opinion on elves. Again, we have 3 of them in game. Why make more when we already have High Elves/Wood Elves/Dark Elves? Though I will admit they are pretty ugly so I can at least see the point somewhat. I'm also particularly interested in this, though more or less the nonhuman/nonelf types.

Yes Elves are also sorta targeted but at least unique races can be done with elves but humans... well they're humans you cant get very creative with a human, I mean Im just saying the race I like have work put into them to make them stand out in the world
Deedlit Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 that why i love cow like races, fun to play and at night can get a harm milk for free
PsychoMachina Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 How about this. Predators - The Lost Tribe http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24543
Shade115 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 How about this. Predators - The Lost Tribe http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24543 It'd be nice if the faces looked higher textured but it would be neat although I don't think I could ever come up with a story for a Predator based character (<- Few Times I ever decide to use these) But yeah I probably would still use them if there's a HD texture for the face (head)
remois Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Since I kinda exhausted the nexus racewise, here is a bit from the nexus... Maybe this one but the body textures remind me a bit of the drakians http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=95512423 This one is not lore friendly, but well... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=76229694&searchtext= Could be better: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=18043&searchtext= Those races are kind of ... unique too. Good for a laugh, I guess. For a playthrough, I don't know http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=99080609&searchtext=
