Talk:Race

Where is the Race Form in the CK?

Simple question. Where does one find races in the CK, other than the All* category of the Object Window? --Tox2ik (talk) 17:56, 10 January 2013 (EST)

Analysis of undocumented settings

Some Race settings are not sufficiently documented on this wiki. This list shows what races, if any, use those settings. Perhaps it could help someone identify the settings' function.

Tilt Front/Back

This does not have anything to do with enabling Y-rotations. Perhaps this is meant to accommodate races that have feet but don't use foot IK? This seems to be enabled for most races that have legs but aren't (typical) bipeds.

Tilt Left/Right

This does not have anything to do with enabling X-rotations. Perhaps this is meant to accommodate races that have feet but don't use foot IK? This seems to be enabled for large monsters, insects and similar races, and races with more than four legs.

• DLC1UndeadDragonRace
• DLC2DragonBlackRace
  • Notably, the dlc2SpectralDragonRace does not use this flag.

PC Specific?

Is there a way to make changes here specific to player character, rather than all members of the race?

I want to grant perks at player creation based on race selected. Is that doable via creation kit?

Ideally, I would add perks independent of skill points or prerequisites -- I read that adding perks like this via console can cause problems, though. And I'd like to create some unique active effects based on race, for example Khajit take 1/2 falling damage.

This wiki rarely get any contributors, it's unlikely you'll get any answers besides mine. You can try using OnPlayerLoadGame - Actor and check if the player is any of those races and then apply your changes. You'll need to go here to seek more info: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?c=411,419 or here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?c=4040,4045 depending on which version you're modding.
