Free Skyrim custom races mod

RaceCompatibility for Skyrim Special Edition is a free mod that lets modders create custom races for the fantasy game. You can also transfer your scripts for custom races from the original Skyrim to make them more compatible with SSE. There’s also a feature to incorporate Dawnguard scripts to include werewolves and vampires.

You may need to change the load order if you’re working with Better Vampire scripts, as it may cause glitches. If you don’t see your scripts working in the game, you’ll also need to start a fresh game to see the custom races take effect. There are other mods you can try for SSE, such as MorrowLoot Ultimate Mod, SSE NIF Optimizer, and Dark Face Fix.

Custom race mod for modders

Many Skyrim modders enjoy customizing races to create new ones for gamers’ enjoyment. If you’ve done so for the original game, RaceCompatibility lets you transfer the script coding to SSE in a way that’s compatible. Without using modifications like these, you would need to go into each of your scripts and make the changes manually. It specifically assists with the new lines of text for werewolves and vampires and the changes that came with them.

The correct load order

In some instances, the load order in your script will make a difference in how the features will work in the game. While not always the case, Better Vampires has shown glitches when the script text was not placed correctly. If you see any issues with your custom races, play around with the order to see if that fixes it.

Other mods using RaceCompatibility

The success of RaceCompatibility has led other modders to create new packages for Skyrim Special Edition. If you see a new race bundle on Nexus Mods, there’s a good chance it used this mod as the baseline. A few examples include:

  • The Noiral Reloaded
  • Playable Rieklings SSE
  • Dagi-Raht Race
  • Riekling Followers
  • Vintage Sea Elf race
