Elin Race Presets Official

Based on the Tera Elin race, these presets allow for incredible customization, ranging from adorable fox-eared healers to fierce, pint-sized warriors. Whether you are a veteran modder or a newcomer to the Nexus, finding the right preset is the fastest way to achieve a high-quality character without spending hours tweaking sliders in Racemenu.

The "Gotchas" to Watch For

• Vanilla Armor Clipping: Elins use a custom skeleton. Vanilla armor will stretch or clip horribly. Search for "Elin Armor Replacers" or use vanilla-faithful robes.
• Camera Height: Because you’re tiny, the default third-person camera will stare at the floor. Use a mod like Customizable Camera to lower the target offset.
• Lighting Mods: Elin faces rely on soft shadows. Harsh ENBs (like Rudy) can wash out their features. Try Visceral ENB or Silent Horizons for softer skin tones.
