Race-based textures (RBT)

Choose your favorite texture for each playable non-beast race.

What does this mod do?

Ever notice how hard-trained orcs look almost identical to short, frail high elves? Maybe not, but now you will.

Sorry about that.

RBT aims to put an end to this incredibly immersive situation. Now you can choose which race looks like a gut-busting madman and which looks like a Thalmor pampered doll. You're welcome!

Want the wood elves to have freckles on their faces, but think the orcs are weird? What should a game with better two-handed skills look like? Think the amount of chest hair should reflect a man's masculinity?

RBT makes your diversity dreams come true!

This mod does not contain its own textures.

[X] Accept and continue. *

*These fields are required.

How do I make this work?

Download the texture module, which has textures that reflect the textures you want.

Install the texture module and select the options you want to apply to NORDS.

Install RBT.

Install the Texture Mod again, but now you want the appearance of a different race.

Go into the textures/actors/character/<gender> folder of the secondary installation.

Move the file into the RBT directory specified in the included .txt file.

Remove assisted installation.

Repeat steps 4 to 7 until all folders of the RBT directory have the required files.

It is possible to use textures from different mods for different races, but may look strange in some cases.

All non-playable races use their default texture set. Vampires of most races wear Nord faces.

It is recommended to use Mod Organizer 2.

Compatibility and load order:

Should be compatible with everything, or at least not break anything. The worst thing is probably the weird texture.

Place RBT below any mods related to character appearance.

uninstall:

Enter an interior location with no other NPCs. Make sure you are not in third person camera mode.

Make a manual save (without saving), close the game and uninstall through the manager.

How to Master the Arcana:

If you just want to add some moles or smooth out some wrinkles and things like that, you can easily edit the texture yourself.

You will need GIMP and the .dds plugin.

There are seams in the character's neck/twist:

Bugs like yours match some textures.

Remember that the normal map (the file ending in "_msn.dds") must match as well.

If you are absolutely sure you have done everything correctly, make an entry in the "Errors" section.

Don't forget to tell me which race is the problem.

Some characters are not visible:

You did not place all required files in dedicated folders or did not read the Loadorder instructions. It's on you.

I don't know how to make it work:

It's too complicated to write a review and maybe I'll update the instructions.

I've seen a mod like this before and it's outrageous:

I know I know, but other mods that do the exact same thing as RBT either ignore faces or have other features that I don't want.

EBD is superior to simplicity in virtually every aspect except EBD, so you might want to try it instead of RBT.

What does this mod do?

Ever noticed how the battle-hardened Orcs look almost exactly the same as puny High Elves? Maybe not, but now you will.

Sorry about that.
