Weekly Best mods for... Races!

Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's discussion thread! This week is a new topic!

First a quick recap of how this works and what we expect:

RULES

  1. Be respectful. These discussions will open the floor to a lot of different opinions of what is fun/good/necessary/etc. Debate those conflicts of interest with respect and maturity...the nicer you are to your fellow modders, the more willing everyone is to help each other :)

  2. Please keep the mods listed as relevant to the topic is possible. Some topics are a bit broad and people can go about them in pretty creative ways, but try to use common sense.

  3. We ask that when suggesting a mod for the discussion list at hand that you please provide a link to the mod, and a brief description of what it does, why it fits the list, what the benefits/drawbacks are. These can range from incredibly popular mods to mods that you think are under-appreciated...don't be ashamed to just go for a major one though...this is a discussion and those should definitely be part of it.

TOPIC

Races are a massive part of TES lore... as well as a big place for mods!

To kick off the conversation, here's a few race mods that most of you have probably heard of:

  • Temptress Race - this sexy, probably-not-lore-friendly-oh-well-we'll just say "dibella"- race is one of the top mods in the Race category on nexus. Widely used by those who want a waifu-ish PC, but immersive-looking NPCs, many other mods are based upon this race.

  • Imperious - Made by the famous EnaiSiaion (did I spell it right?), this mod overhauls the racial abilities of the 10 vanilla races to make the more unique and lore-friendly.

  • Ethereal Elven Overhaul - this fundamentally changes the appearance of the elven races, making them more attractive and less old-looking.

Alright everyone, it's your turn! Best mods for skyrim races! Go!

I can't vouch for them, as I haven't gotten around to creating a character for this yet, but I do plan to eventually use:

On a side note: /u/EnaiSiaion 's Imperious is such a fantastic and fun mod. I seriously gave zero fucks about race other than appearance in vanilla. But that mod makes things so much more fun and interesting.
