Racial Traits Overhaul 2.7

A small mod that changes the way your Race affects your character. Skills, heights, powers, carry weights, race weights and resistances have been overhauled to be more immersive and MOSTLY more lore friendly.

Required:

Patch 1.9.32.0

Dawnguard

Unofficial Skyrim Patch

Unofficial Dawnguard Patch

Seriously if you don't have these, I can not protect you from the wrath of my flying monkeys or skyrim's troll population

Racial bonus are now fortify bonus instead of free levels in said skills. The racial skills modified will be highlighted in the skills menu the same way all fortified skills are.

Some Races have new powers and old powers have been tweaked.

Resistances have been improved on most races to match the races from the 3rd era better.

Each races has it own base carry weight, when you become a vampire it doubles.

Race heights and weights have been modified to resemble Morrowind mostly although with tweaks I felt were appropriate.

Night Eye lasts for 3600 seconds.

Vampires can't drown.

Compatiblity:

Just put RTO as low as possible in your load order to avoid anything override it's changes

Incompatible:

Any other mod that change the races or vampire races

Recommened Mods

Classic Classes and Birthsigns

Works together like a charm, A must have mod to go with this!!! I have been building RTO to work with this mod since it never leaves my load order

Frostfall - Hypothermia Camping Survival

The backpacks Frostfall has really helps with the burden of a packed inventory attributed to the races reduced carry weights

Bandolier - Bags and Pouches

If the backpacks of Frostfall don't cut it for you pack rats then this mod surely will counteract the reduced carry weights of RTO

Credits/Thanks:

Dasistgutja for his Racial Traits Improved without it I would never have uploaded my personal dawnguard compatibile version of his mod or have been inspired to create this racial overhaul.
