Skyrim offers many ways to customize your character. To create your unique character, you can combine hair, head shapes, colors, body shapes, etc.
This customization is usually done at the beginning of a playthrough.
Suppose you want to change the look of your character after 100 hours, and you don't want to restart the game. Can Skyrim's race and stats mid-game?
Changing Skyrim Name and Appearance
The appearance of your character in Skyrim can be changed in two ways. A Skyrim console is used for the Skyrim race menu command, and one is an in-game NPC (cheating).
Following the wagon sequence, you can select and build your character at the beginning of the game.
However, once you have changed your appearance, race, and name once, you can no longer change them.
The first time you exit Helgen through the caves, you will be asked if you would like to customize your character.
Only under this condition can you change your race and name without cheating. The only thing you can change from here on out is the appearance.
As long as you use Galathil's services, you can change your appearance as often as you like. But, of course, a special edition of the Dawnguard DLC is required to do this.
(Dawnguard/SE) Galathil, the Face Sculptor
Change your appearance with this NPC. Here are the directions for finding her.
Step 1:
Travel to Riften
Pay a small fee to hire a carriage and go to Riften if you are near any of the holds. Alternatively, you can jog to Riften in the southeast corner of the map.
Step 2:
Enter the Ratway
Located below the central city of Riften, the Ratway is a small dungeon.
Look around the lower decks of the city as you descend from the upper boards.
You'll soon find the Ratway's entrance hidden behind an iron fence door.
Step 3:
Clear the Ratway
In the Ratway, you will encounter a few hostile NPCs and rats who will attack you as soon as they see you.
Then dispose of them as you wish. But first, look for Gian the Fist, one of the NPCs who drops the unique 'Gloves of the Pugilist.'
Also, watch out for traps in the area. Unless you get caught off guard, this isn't a difficult dungeon.
Step 4:
Enter the Ragged Flagon
The Ragged Flagon can be found after you clear the Ratway. You'll find Galathil here. There is also a Thieves Guild here.
The town market has a unique NPC that can assist you if you wish to join the Thieves Guild.
Step 5:
Find Galathil
On the far side of the room, turn around and walk up to the bar. In the middle of the Flagon, you'll see someone sitting on some boards. It's Galathil.
Step 6:
Pay Galathil to Change your Face
Ask Galathil for help, and she will offer her services to you.
For example, whenever you want to change your appearance, you can pay her 1000 gold.
Note: As Galathil cannot change the faces of the undead, she is not able to change your face if you are a vampire. You must cure yourself of your vampirism if you want her services.
So there you go, the legit way to change Skyrim's appearance.
Using the Race Menu in Skyrim
It's never cool to cheat (although sometimes it's fun). Unfortunately, changing your race or name after escaping Helgen isn't possible in the vanilla version of Skyrim(PC).
If you want a complete overhaul, you must use the console.
Since console players do not have access to the console, this only works on PCs.
Step 1:
Note the Skill Numbers
Take note of your skill numbers before doing anything else. Races and genders can also mess with your skill tree, so you may end up with odd numbers.
Step 2:
Opening the console
Once your stats have been recorded, press the tilde key. The console should open. Enter showracemenu. The Race Menu Will open.
Step 3:
Revisiting the Skyrim Character Creation Command
The same character creator should appear when you start the game. Make any changes you wish to yourself and confirm them.
You should receive a prompt asking for your name. The Skyrim name can now be changed.
Step 4:
Fixing your skills
View your stats tree. You might not see the same results if you change your race or gender.
Use the command" player.setav <skill name> <skill number>" to restore your skills to their previous values.
Conclusion
Whenever you adjust a skill, you swap out <skill name> with the name of the skill you are adjusting, such as heavy armor for Heavy Armor.
Before changing your appearance, you should replace <skill number> with its previous value. Then, for each skill you have, repeat this step.
You should be able to resolve any issues you encounter afterward. Saving the progress is gonna help out a lot.
Now that you have changed your Skyrim character, you have successfully completed the process. Your story progress will be preserved even if you change races and names.
