This mod will also work is just want the new armors and/or weapons, but if you start over and are a Snow Elf, you can smith these items at level 1 and no smithing perks!! I know you are wondering why there seems to be an imbalance, but Mammoth Tusks weight is 5 and value is 150, while Horker Tusks are 1 and 15, so it seems the Mammoth Tusks are of better quality, so produce more/better Ivory. The first uses 1 Mammoth Tusk and 1 Refined Moonstone to make 2 Ivory, the other way is 3 Horker Tusks and 1 Refined Moonstone to make 1 Ivory. There are two ways to get Ivory, both require Smelting. To craft any of the armors or weapons, you will need Ivory! What Ivory is not in the game? It is now. The stats are just under Glass or Ebony, but a little better than Elven. The weapons you need EITHER Advanced or Orcish perks, you do not need both, however, both will work just fine. The perks needed to craft the new armors and weapons are Advanced for light and Orcish for heavy, and the armor stats are just a little higher than the other armors you can craft with these perks, but not higher/better than the armors from the next perks. You will be able to craft Light and Heavy Snow Elf armors using Ancient Falmer armor meshes, heavy and light shields using Auri-El's shield as a template, and weapons! Although the weapons look like standard elven, except the bow which looks like Auri-El's bow, everything is stronger, but not too strong. I tried to balance out the good with the bad, when I test vampirism, I may remove Auri-El's Favor. Lesser Power - Invisibility and Muffle 10 seconds, cost 30 magickaĪuri-El's Favor - 100% Disease Resistance + 5 Illusion, Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, RestorationĪuri-El's Favor - 75% Disease Resistance (for those wishing to become a vampire) I don't want to replace a race in game with the Snow Elf race because that would break lore (ok, so playing one is somewhat lore friendly, as lore suggests SOME escaped), and seeing a Snow Elf around every corner just is not believable. I made this mod because I could not find a good Playable Snow Elf race on Steam.

I could have made this playable race using vanilla Skyrim, but I didn't, because I wanted to add some armor and weapons, along with some perks. This mod should even work with other snow elf mods. There should not be incompatibilities with any mods, unless the other mod is race dependant.
