Installation
Use your preferred method, either using a mod manager or manual install.
I suggest you to deactivate this mod while you’re creating a new character. Don’t blame me if this mod binds your savegame.
Compatibility
Someone just tried to apply a patch that included in the ZIP file and made his/her game CTD. So, I said a short reply about the patch. He/she told me that he/she won’t download another (I’d say: master) mod to use my mod, or I need to fix (I’d say: blame) my mod, and he/she wanted me to answer this more clear.
However, I already listed a mod below that need to apply the patch. If you use it, apply the patch. Otherwise, do not.
Why this description tab always skipped and blame the author’s inresponsibility? I’d rather to say blame the user’s laziness.
Character Creation Overhaul
Height Adjusted Races with True Giants (load Epic Races after this mod)
Ethereal Elven Overhaul (load Epic Races after this mod, and apply the included patch – untested!)
Nothing else, but I’m sure it will conflict with another races mod. The winner is the last loaded.

You probably like this mod because…
…everything are still lore-friendly;
…you don’t need to create a new game after uninstallation, because this isn’t a binding mod;
…you hate the once per day powers;
…you still want to have the racial abilities from an older TES.
You probably don’t like this mod because…
…I am a liar. The images and the results are none;
…the descriptions are overrated, but the contents are petty;
…you have a better mod to play with;
…you’re already using an overhaul mod that changes the entire game, from perks into miscellaneous items.
Anonymous: What kind of presentation is this? You just have a small mod here.
DwemerBot: Serious stuff comes with a serious service.
Anonymous: Hey, why the hell my character doesn’t sounds while shouting?
DwemerBot: Well, I just grew tired of all the same race voices. Shouts don’t sound because of missing its voice file. Actually, there are only 10 voice actors who has been selected being a Dragonborn to shout at their mic.
Anonymous: But there are 10 races and there are also 10 available voice actors! Why they still same, then?
DwemerBot: You stupid! One race needs two voice actors for different genders.
Anonymous: I noticed that your race description and the pictures are from the Elder Scrolls Online. I will call the guard for a copyright infringement.
DwemerBot: Yes, sure. I have the bribery perk and I’m the one of the Thieves Guild member.
Anonymous: Do you always clean your mod?
DwemerBot: I’m always neat when working with my mod. So, I don’t have any dirty records.
Anonymous: Will this compatible with mods that changes the race height?
DwemerBot: Of course. I have tested and has no conflict. Just load it before this mod.
Anonymous: I have the Character Creation Overhaul. Will it compatible?
DwemerBot: Since CCO isn’t changing the race record, it would be.
Anonymous: Sounds nice. But, how about SkyRE or somewhat known as role-playing overhaul?
DwemerBot: SkyRE has their own race module named SkyRe_Races. You can disable it. If you have Requiem, disable the Requiem. LOL.
Now, if you have any question, please don’t ask me. I’m just a dwarven robot! And don’t forget to disendorse. Oh, my…
