❱❱❱ FAQ
Installation procedure: Add the mod to your load order and activate it. Note that Skyrim often has trouble replacing racial abilities in existing savegames. It is recommended to start a new character. If you want to try to install the mod into an existing savegame anyway:
Make sure to clean your savegame after installing Imperious. This is especially important when transitioning from another race mod that may contain scripted content.
Racial attributes (Health/Magicka/Stamina) will not be correct. This is not a breaking issue because you still get 300 points at level 1, just like in vanilla.
Should your racial abilities be incorrect after installing Imperious, use the "Manually Assign Racials" option in the Imperious MCM menu. This option may take up to 30 seconds. If you don't have SkyUI, bring up the console and type help "Manual Debug" to get its hex ID in your particular load order and then type player.addspell .
If the above does not solve the issue, you will have to start a new game.
Uninstallation procedure: Uninstalling mods with abilities that are active on the player is not recommended.
How do I start my racial quest: The quest automatically starts the first time you advance your quest progression. For instance, as an Altmer, pluck the wings off one butterfly.
I still have vanilla racial abilities in addition to the Imperious racial abilities: Updating a save in progress is not always a painless process. See "Installation instructions" above.
I still have vanilla racial abilities and don't have the Imperious racial abilities: You have another mod loaded below Imperious that modifies races, overriding Imperious. Only one mod can modify race records at a time.
