Hey,

I'm @ a certain part in the game where u end up with a perm scar and I want to keep it. So I created a custom race..I've set up the texture here.

However when I change my race some of my stats reset...is this normal? And if so how can I get past it?

Yes its normal.
There is no changing that, at least that I am aware of.

What you could do is 'record' the stats before the race change. Then change the race and reset the stats to what they were. But you have to remember, this can be buggy since there could be 'race' stats that would no longer apply with your new race.

Hmmmm.. I had planned on that by just duping my characters race into this new one. Are there any perks/etc that relies on race? I'd think that with whatever I already have would stick after the change. hmmmm.
