Making A Custom Race Work With Other Mods

[selonianth]

I'm trying to create a gender reversal mod through custom races for the assorted canon races. I've gotten the person looking... vaguely not like a deformed creature in my preview window and it's starting to get to where I have to wonder, being new to creating the mods instead of just using them, if my race will benefit from the same appearance mods in the same way, or if I'd have to hook them in myself.

 

Honestly I'm most worried that the mods will work, but not in the way that I'd want them to. Feminizing the 'female' gender (while the actual feminine is what the game thinks is the male one) and vice versa. If that is a problem, what would I want to do to prevent it?

 

Edit: If it's relevant, I've been doing my best to swap everything, Skeleton, skin, etc, so the male points to the female stuff and vice versa.

 

Also, see screenshots for current progress... and if someone could explain what the hell is going on with the "female" that'd be great.

I'm now *pretty* surethat somehow, against any logic, the 'female' half is using Astrid's texture... how? I have.... no idea.
