[there's a FAQ at the bottom of the page. Please look at that before inquiring about any issues!] Some of the description on this page is out of date or not quite what it seems (mainly the spells). If you have a question; as Rinera put it, my minions will answer-if not me. So leave a comment please. For those that wish to use the console to add (or subtract) spells from the three races. Please refer to the Spell ID chart found below the FAQ
Just as a warning: I am usually a very happy person (except when I have my depressive episodes). But a GRAVE pet peeve of mine is when people ask about problems WITHOUT giving me any further information. If something is not working, don't just tell me "it crashes". I NEED INFORMATION. If I bite your head off, It's due to stress. So I am placing this as a courtesy.
Love all users of the Matera (new and old) Charis
For everyone that is having issues with showracemenu. 9/10 times, it is not the mod. It is the showracemenu in general. Skyrim is designed to load everything at once while in character creation. So if you have say...hair mods. It will likely crash if your PC can not handle the output. So below is the recommended fix. Matera IS compatible with all hair mods. I have over 275+ hairs and I have yet to see any NOT compatible. ShowRaceMenu Precache Killer by kapaer
I have placed a new requests section at the bottom of the page. If you made a request and it's not shown at the bottom. Please give me a friendly reminder. This is due to all the workload I have and I want to keep it orderly. ~Charismoon
**I am currently working on converting everything to seamless - this includes the Matera, Battle Matera (we'll see how it goes), and the Magic Matera. I want to do this for the Magic matera debut**

Special Thanks: My Husband - For being so understanding in me taking time off from life to bring you the Matera :)

IDEA CREDITS: Xindaris - Paw Pad Muffle V1.3Beta (Released) argusmercs - Fur color changes with Skintone V1.3Beta (Released), Keen Hearing V1.4(Released) xXNICKCOOPXx - No Fur Edition (Released), Matera's Determination V1.4(Released) dython - Alternate Fur Variety V1.3(Released) Ganoran - Matera body Claws V1.4(Released)
The Matera is a race that prefers to stay to the shadows rather than fighting upfront. They tend to rarely prefer magic but it is not uncommon to see a few of them prefer it. They used to live underground till something took over and now they are forced to flee to the outside world of cold and winds.
I DID NOT add any hair, eyes, anything, so it's basically basic. purposefully done. Please look at theadditional credits below for links to hair, eyes, etc. Default is Breton Race.
Racials: - Sharpened Nails (Ability) - Sharpened Nails does 20 points of damage. - Matera's Night Eye (Spell - Toggle with z button / voice) V1.4 makes this with no duration. At level 15 you can detect friendly life force. At level 35 you can detect enemy life force. - Matera Paw Pad Muffle (entwined with Shadow Stalk v1.4) - With no Boots/Shoes your footsteps are muffled. With no boots/shoes AND Sneaking you get a plus 35 to Sneak. With no Boots/Shoes/ Sneaking AND Shadows, you get a cool FX and plus 45 to Sneak. Enjoy the shadows my friend! (Light Level has to be 10 or below.) - Matera's Adrenal - REPLACED replaced by Matera's Paw Pad Muffle in V1.3Beta (See Screenshot - View above racial) -Matera's Determination in V1.4 - With no Armor (just clothing or naked) you get a plus 150 to total carry weight. You also get infinite Stamina till you max that extra 150 carry weight and get encumbrance.
Update: Will be doing the racial as percent based, rather then Base stats. Cause I'm a bad scripter :/. Till I get better at scripting. Want to do Leveling Racials!

Credits: - Bethesda - For Skyrim and making your virtual self come true
Useful Mods: Optimizer Textures by AdPipino - - Basically it can resize ALL the textures for Skyrim + mods. Works very well if your like me and have a semi - dying graphics card that hates high textures (which is why I don't do them in MaTera). If anyone else wants to make a high resolution version. Be my geust :)
If I missed anyone please message me for additional credits as well
I want to make my regular Matera look like your fuzzy Battle Matera.
Answer: Everything is named the same in the BMatera folder as it is in the Matera folder. All you have to do is go to:
Data->meshes(textures)->actor->character->rename BMatera to Matera-> Overwrite in Skyrim installation.
The only thing that won't change will be the warpaints. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to replace your Matera's Skeleton with another skeleton! I don't like the default, it's no fun :/.
Answer:Look Below Please-
How To: Below is how to replace your MaTera's skeletons to any other skeleton
You have to copy the skeleton you are using from the default skeleton path
Paste in the MaTera location [Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\MaTera\female\body [for Female] [Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\MaTera\male\body [for Male]
Make sure to use the BEAST skeleton of the skeleton variation you wish to replace. If not, it may crash because the Matera NEED the tail nodes for it to work.
Important Notice: On the release of Version 2.0 of the Matera. The Skeletons will be reverted back to the original Skeleton path so this should no longer be necessary. It will use the original Beast Skeleton that you have installed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Matera does not show up in the race menu! What do I do?!
Answer: If it is not showing up it is a 95% probability that something was not downloaded/ installed at all or correctly. Something may also not be enabled(checked).
First, make sure you have Race Compatibility by TMPheonix (NOT the older one!). This IS required because the werewolf and the vampire won't work without it! Second, make sure that your Skyrim is updated to the latest version. As of writing this it is v1.8.1. Third, Double check and MAKE sure the racecompatibility.esm AND Matera/BMatera is checked! (I know, I know, noob mistake but it CAN HAPPEN) Forth, Make sure you have the Main file installed THEN your body file (if done manually)(this won't usually cause it to not show up but its best to check) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Game crashes when changing from male to female or changing race in general.
Answer: My first suggestion would be to check and make sure you have the correct body type (if you use an armor/clothing replacement) as well as the racial compatibility mod.
My HIGHEST suggestion would be to use the sex change work around mod below. I have not found anything not compatible with it yet.
Sex change crash Workaround by LABTECH [I will still leave this JIC someone wants another option besides Racemenu. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT use both together!!!!!
The sex change still works but the pre-cache helps with alot more then just the sex. (that sounded wrong) =============================================================================== You have the regular version of my body but I want bouncing titties! Answer: This is pretty easy. It just takes some work on your end. The reason why I don't do this is because, well, I don't want to ask permission for all the skeletons lol. back to the topic....
Paste in the MaTera location [Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\MaTera\female\body [for Female] [Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\MaTera\male\body [for Male]
Install the Body mesh that goes with the bouncing:
[Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\character assets female Copy femalebody_0.nif AND femalebody_1.nif
Paste in the MaTera location [Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\MaTera\female\body [for Female] [Your Install Location here]\meshes\actors\character\MaTera\male\body [for Male]
Make sure to use the BEAST skeleton of the skeleton variation you wish to replace. If not, it may crash because the Matera NEED the tail nodes for it to work.
Important Notice: On the release of Version 2.0 of the Matera. The Skeletons and Mesh will be reverted back to the original Skeleton path so this should no longer be necessary. It will use the original Beast Skeleton that you have installed. =============================================================================== I created a Bodyslide for my body but your race is not compatible! Please fix! Answer: See Question [You have the regular version of my body but I want bouncing titties!] and Under [Install Body Mesh] =============================================================================== Your mod broke my game! Now it crashes! Answer: My patience level is stretched super thin (now even thinner). First check the requirements:
Skyrim (ofcourse) **requires skyrim to be updated - Not my doing, blame Bethesda lol** RacialCompatibility.esm -RaceCompatibility for Dawnguard by TMPhoenix *Has a nice lovely NMM installer now
*Dbl check that you have EVERYTHING installed correctly. I don't know HOW ppl keep missing this. It's mind boggling to me. If you are sure you have everything, stay calm and GIVE ME SPECIFICS! If you don't, I'll merely quote this back to you. Have a great day.
Ok, people still keep missing this.....Here's the easy Instructions...My morning sickness leaves me in no mood to talk. 1)Install Main File 2)Install Racial Compatibility mod (YES IT IS REQUIRED! QUIT ASKING!) and updated! 3)Install Body Compatibility (You obviously want the body installed as well. Cause some bodies wig out without the proper armor replacements.) 4)Skyrim NEEDS (and when I mean needs, I don't mean if you feel like it) to be UP TO DATE! 5)Check and MAKE SURE that everything is activated! Yes! this does happen.
I am also not responsible for another race mod that does not use RC!
Also give me specifics! Which Matera race mod (many call each one Matera)? In what order did you install? Did you install RC? Is your Skyrim up to date? Did you CHECK to make sure everything was activated? Did your download pause? =============================================================================== How do you submit images. My matera is pretty and I want to show it off. :( Answer: It took me forever to find out too lol. So don't worry.
Thought a visual will help everyone. Looking forward to seeing more screenshots of lovely materas. ================================================================================ If none of those work, contact me on comments or message. comments will be faster on the Matera original page.

Courtesy of my little brother: He confirmed that following this video works with the greybeard attacking you bug. Just thought I'd put it here for everyone.
Courtesy of swmXIII: For the Brawl Bug. There is a mod out there that fixes certain bugs with brawling. Like the magic bugs that some of my racials have. You can find it here.
Courtesy of Charis(Me): This helped the issue I was having with Skyrim turning black then back periodically. Or CTD out of the blue. But Everytime I CTD I would get the error that my display driver stopped responding - Nvidia. I used the fix it now windows tool at the bottom. It's working for me so I thought I'd post it here for anyone else that may find it works for them."Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error in Windows 7 or Windows Vista
Courtesy of arecaidianfox - I thought I'd mention that I found the issue with my brawling problem. It was the Brawl Bugs Patch itself. As soon as I uninstalled it, brawls began functioning correctly. If I had to guess, it's because I am using SPERG, which seems to have some sort of brawling fix already. ============================================================================================================================== For the latest in preview images and announcements to upcoming patches and updates please click on the picture below:
