Documentation and examples for the showlimitedracemenu command in Skyrim.
showlimitedracemenu
Open a limited race menu that edits appearance without changing race.
Examples
Here is an example of how to use showlimitedracemenu.
Opens the cosmetic-only appearance editor.
Overview
Opens a restricted version of the character-creation screen that lets you adjust face, hair, war paint and complexion while preventing a race change. It is the safer alternative to the full showracemenu when you only want cosmetic tweaks, since it avoids the stat corruption that switching race mid-save can cause. Use it whenever you want to restyle your Dragonborn without risk.
