About this mod

A Vanilla Dunmer Character Slider preset, complete with a downloadable text file of the sliders, images of the sliders, and several screenshots. Will include a preset when we have the capability to share through a looksmenu!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
CHARACTER
Zeva is based off of my Dunmer preset for Skyrim as well as the main I play on ESO. She is a Telvanni mage from Sadrith Mora originally, specializing in Destruction and Enchantment, who owes allegiance to Azura, and the other anticipations of course, but Azura most of all.
For her looks, I was trying to recreate a more classic Dunmeri appearance, with the slim face and angular bone structure, but retain a little femininity. It was tough to strike a balance between the vanilla jankyness of the Dunmer faces (because they look more like Orcs in this rendition?? WTH) but not make her look like an uwu bean beauty queen either. It's all to taste, so if you don't like the way she looks, there's plenty of other character presets already out there!
She also looks good with the double bun updo, and the braided bun updo with the sticks. I swap her hair around in my playthrough (see more on how to do that below, under TWEAKING). 

THIS IS NOT A "MOD" ...yet
When we get a working Looksmenu/Preset manager, I will upload a full character preset on this page. For now, I've provided two save game files and character sliders, both in screenshot and text format. 

SAVE FILES
The files are a vanilla save, at the beginning and end of the tutorial dungeon. It does not have any mod dependencies, so should be no issue to use if you've got a vanilla set up and are too lazy (understandable) to make a new character and use the slider guide. Her name is Zeva Severyn, but you can of course change her name and attributes at the end of the dungeon, or with racemenu.

SLIDERS
I've provided the sliders in the screenshots, but also have them downloadable as a notepad text file in the files section. I will also post them here! At the bottom of this page! WOW! You literally cannot miss them. 

COMPATIBILITY

Fuse's "Young Textures Revamped"
Since the character was made in vanilla, it is compatible with Fuse's face texture mod, though skin tones will have to be altered to make it look right, specifically the shading around the eyes/eyelids and the lips, as Fuse's textures make the Dunmer skin far more "pink". Inside the text file, I included a few "FUSE ALT" lines, if you want to use the configuration I prefer. In my version, I also altered her mouth shape with Fuse's skin installed, because I felt that the lips "pop" so much more. It's optional, and only minorly tweaked.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALTERNATE FACE MESH MODS
Just in case it needs to be said, if you're running any mods that edit the meshes of female dunmer faces, that will likely conflict with the sliders of any character preset built for vanilla. How it will look? Depends on the mesh, I cannot say. You can certainly try them together and see what happens, but just know it wont look like my screenshots.

TWEAKING
Hey, I get it, maybe you load in, exit the sewers, and think "Oh by the gods, I __insert feature here__ bothers me!" or, "You know what? I want to change her hair!", well, have no fear! You can use the Console Command showracemenu to tweak anything you like, or just change her hair. BUT!!! IMPORTANT NOTE!!! By itself, the console command will cause you issues. I recommend these two mods to alleviate those issues. Ask no questions, just install them. shhh. Its ok.
1. KEEP YOUR STATS AFTER USING RACEMENU Because otherwise you will wonder where your skill points went
2. Console Commands disable achievements and I am Sad, just kidding this will prevent that

Tint: Row 4, Collumn 5 (A pale pink in the color picker) *The pure white or default tones are ok too, but I often found during some weather they looked too blue, and would clash with the hair a bit.
Eyelids
-91 -55 -55 -9 0 
FUSE ALT

*Note that these sometimes bug out with the Dunmer female for some reason, each time you use Racemenu (or alter your character,) remember to double check these values haven't "reset" themselves.
Lipstick Color: Black to neutralize the pink tone
Lipstick Sheer-Opaque 0
Eyeshadow Color: White or Light Grey looks best IMO but if you want to make her look like she's wearing makeup, the black looks just fine too!
HAIR
Style: Whatever you like!
Root Color: WHITE
Tip Color: WHITE
*I found using the light greys would make the hair glow blue in rainy weather, so just a heads up! White seems to be fine in all weather if you want that silvery look.

Gradient Amount 100
Salt and Pepper 0
Eyebrows Color: N/A *I leave it blank because they did not make a single reasonable eyebrow color IMO
