RaceCompatibility for Skyrim Special Edition  

This package allows mod authors to make their custom races based on the RaceCompatibility.esm (please consider endorsing expired6978's original mod, since without that we wouldn't be able to play with all these custom races) to work properly with the Dawnguard DLC. As such mod authors should follow the instructions included with that mod to make their mod.

StackEmHigh has created a guide that you may find useful in creating a custom race as well.

Dawnguard changed several scripts involving vampirism and lycanthropy (werewolves) that meant custom races would not be able to fully benefit/experience the DLC. This mod merges the Dawnguard scripts with the Race Compatibility scripts.

The RaceCompatibility.esm file included in this package also fixes the missing WoodElf (Bosmer) race entry in the file and adds an optional compatibility script for the Unofficial Skyrim patch.

=== INSTALLATION ===
To install just overwrite the files from the RaceCompatibility mod with the files in this package; install the optional script if you are also using the USSEP. To make your custom race fully compatible ensure that your vampire race has the "vampire" keyword, if you had not added that already.

=== NOTE ===
Note that because the esm file modifies a formlist from the original mod it may be necessary to start a fresh game to fully benefit from the changes unless they were already using a fixed version of this file (adding the WoodElfRace to the list); a fixed version for Skyrim without Dawnguard can be found under optional files of the Belua Sanguinare mod is included in this mod.

=== HOW TO MAKE A CUSTOM RACE BASED ON THIS MOD ===
More recent info:
StackEmHigh has created a guide that you may find useful in creating a custom race as well.

Old info:
1. Follow the instructions on the RaceCompatibility.esm page to construct your race.
2. To make your mod Dawnguard compatible overwrite the vanilla scripts and RaceCompatibility.esm.
3. (OPTIONAL) To ensure UFO and/or USSEP compatibility add the optional scripts as an optional install.
4. Optional Better vampires SE scripts are now included. Only use these if you are using Better Vampires.

Preferably direct users to this mod and let them overwrite the files themselves instead of including the current version in your mod, unless you want to keep everything up-to-date as well.
