I guess a lot of people aren't familiar with traditional descriptions of "human sized" elves. Legolas did not look like Orlando Bloom. He had a long, narrow, bony face with high cheek bones, and slightly sunken cheeks.    Read some of the descriptions of what Elves are supposed to look like from the game Chainmail (the pre-cursor to D&D).    Not that there isn't room for creativity. DEFINITELY not saying that. There are, afterall, half elves! Who range from looking almost human with almost no elven features, to the exact opposite. But in truth, Bethesda was recreating what they felt the "traditional" elf should look like.  Lets face it: Arena was created by a bunch of guys that probably played D&D in high school / college. Look through some of the older handbooks at the art they used for elves. 

I'm pretty sure that's why the Speed and Stability Guide suggests doing something like "coc qasmoke", sitting there for awhile, doing a "save mysave" loading it into papyrus util save cleaner, and cleaning your saves every 10-15 hours of play. To get rid of orphaned scripts, and to help analyze scripts that are problematic.

  Does your character have grass growing out of his/her ears yet? if not, it's not enough grass <3

I mean they look like that in 3rd person, too (slight kink at the elbow). The only thing I can think of is to edit the skeleton/animations itself. There are a few animations that change some things. Try looking at the Pretty Combat Animations series on the Nexus.

Check out the speed and stability guide for enb on nexus. Might help you out a lot.   Prior to the guide, I had to keep my sexlab characters, and my normal characters separated (ie: uninstall sexlab mods before playing a normal character), after the guide? Everything works fine, for the most part. I'm running a slightly older system (3.9ghz 8core cpu, 8gb RAM, GTX 660), Purevision ENB, and nearly all of the suggested mods, plus about 10-15 sexlab mods, Skyre, SEVERAL armor packs, Apocalypse, More Apocalypse, Wintermyst, Helgen Reborn, Moonpath, Falksaar, Wyrmstooth, RLO, Pure Weathers, and a bunch of random stuff to help improve the way I think the game should play... I'd say I'm 98% stable so far. (4 days into switching to Mod Organizer after finding the guide, one CTD, and that was because I ran out of VRAM. I had enblocal.ini set up incorrectly).  Also make sure to use MO / bash / TESVEdit to check for mod conflicts.

  Thank you, kind sir <3 

Anyone know how to add physics to hair? 

*dudette     And unfortunately I use ECE, not Racemenu... but luckily we have The Eyes of Beauty :3

Start with any mods that edit facegen data (ECE, Racemenu, EEO, Epic Elves), then with mods that modify the eyes. That's where I'd begin.

Are you using an ENB?

install wrye bash and look for red/orange check marks. Those are your problem mods... or at least a damn good start

I know it is, lol. I'm asking if anyone knows HOW to complete that process. I have a few hair styles from the SG Hair pack that I would like to add some phsyics to.

There are some youtube videos on how to use it properly. If nothing else, make the jump to Enhanced Character Edit. I find faces to be much more customizable with ECE. It takes a little more work to get it to look how you want, but there is a lot more fine tuning that is possible.   Just a warning: If you install ECE, make sure to remove EEO. They conflict because they both call for different facegen data.

Have you tried using the "Sculpt" feature of Racemenu?

First step I'd take is to totally reinstall your body replacer. If that doesn't fix it, give us a screenshot/wrye bash output of what your load order is.

Ah. Oddly, as much as I'm into immersion I haven't tried Frosfall yet. Yeah yeah, I know.  Back to the primary topic: If you use either Racemenu or ECE, making an acceptable elf should be fairly easy. There are a couple of guides on the net regarding "how to make a cute character", I suggest checking some of those out. They may help you quite a bit.

What UI mod are you using to get your health, magicka, and stamina all grouped up together like that?

  And that is how you make one sexy elf <3

Do you use Racemenu or Enhanced Character Edit?

  use ` to open your console and type in "coc (random cell name)" and your character will teleport to that sell. A good, well lit cell is "coc qasmoke" just remember to "coc whiterun" when you're done, as qasmoke has no doors to the outside world.

  Tbh, for me there were two turnons about Mod Organizer.   1) I can quickly remove a mod that's causing problems without a fear of it accidentally removing something that another mod is dependant on.   2) I ... like to shuffle characters. I probably have 6 different play through's I'm working on, only one of which started with the vanilla start, and the others are appx level 40 and haven't even touched Helgen yet. Each character has her own set of armor mods, sexlab mods active, body textures, all that. The switch to MO made managing that a lot easier, and has made my game much more stable, since I don't have to swap out mods all the time. Once I set it all up? it's done and I can have fun without CTD's!

Not sure if anyone else has converted this armor or not, but it was a fun challenge, none the less My screenshot was taken with the transparent glass mod in place, and my bodyslide files will put the Nikitaa pushup armor as your primary glass. Just make sure that if you're using transparent glass, that you select ALL options in the FOMOD installer.   The original mod by Nikitaa is required. This is only the Bodyslide files.   Nikitaa Pushup Glass Armor.7z  

What about "I haven't had a CTD yet" doesn't make sense? I'm sure that everyone knows that a game that doesn't CTD AT ALL is impossible, but why go out of your way to post papyrus logs and such to prove that this is the case?  And the reason for the fresh install was maknig the jump over to MO. I had previously used NMM like a baddie, but I also wasn't experimenting with mods as much as I am now. My point in that post was: it is possible to get your Skyrim install to a point where you can have a bunch of .esp/.esm files activated and still be stable. Even with heavy script set ups.    3 days and counting, no CTD.  

  The Speed and Stability Guide for ENB covers this, and also how to help eliminate what is causing the bad scripts, or how to remove remnants of old mods that may be affecting your current save.
