Skyrim is a game known for many things. Back when it first came out, these things included the great story which the game offers along with the rich and revolutionary open world as well as RPG mechanics that the game offered.
While it is still known for these things, it’s also known for much more. For example, customization is one of the biggest bonuses of playing Skyrim. This doesn’t just refer to the character customization options that the game provides; it also refers to modding. The Skyrim modding community is still easily one of the liveliest and popular ones.
There are a lot of mods, those that customize the game by changing environments, those that customize the game by adding new weapons, and many more of the sort, including those that customize the game by changing the customization options themselves.
One example of this is the RaceMenu mod which provides new options for character creation/customization. While trying to use this mod, some users might encounter the RaceMenu error 10. We’re here to show how to solve said error by using the solutions listed below.
Fixes for RaceMenu Error 10
- Update RaceMenu
The first recommended solution is one of the most obvious, but also easily one of the most effective ones of them all. This refers to updating RaceMenu. The mod actively has new updates released for it every now and then. These updates can either act new content, fix issues with current versions or do both at the same time. So this specific issue you’re encountering should easily be fixable by just updating the mod.
Just like the base mod itself, all of these updates are available to players completely free of any charges and can be found online on official sites related to said mod. Just look it up through any browser of choice. It is recommended that users spend some time in forums and/or other official pages of the sort to learn more about said updates, including if there even is one in the first place.
- Delete Other Mods
One other good solution which we recommend trying is removing all other mods which you’re using along with this one. There are many known occurrences of modifications causing troubles for other ones in Skyrim, which is why running only RaceMenu with every other mod you have disabled might be an effective solution.
Just use whatever launcher it is that players use to remove every add on for the game before specifically adding only RaceMenu back. Now run the game again to see if it works without presenting this error message again. Here are a couple of other solutions worth trying if the ones mentioned so far didn’t work out too well.
- Delete/Rename File
There is one solution in particular that works for a majority of people encountering this issue who weren’t able to fix it through the methods listed so far. There is a specific file in all of the various folders related to RaceMenu, and some of these files are actually much more detrimental to the mod’s performance rather than being helpful in any way. One in particular which tends to mess with the program a lot is chargen.pex.
Try to locate this file in the data/scrips directory of your Skyrim mods. It should be there somewhere, and using the Windows file locating feature will prove very useful since users won’t have to go through each individual folder just to find the specific one.
Once located, just delete this file permanently. Alternatively, for those that are cautious about removing any kind of files from the system, there’s the option to rename the file too. We recommend renaming it to something among the lines of chargen.pex.old.
- Reinstall RaceMenu
RaceMenu is very problematic when it comes to installation. If all else up to this point has failed, it’s very likely that the way users installed the mod was wrong from the start. Just uninstall it and attempt to reinstall it, but this time make sure to follow the user manual for installation word for word. Once downloaded again, any issues with the mod will be solved.
