Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - CS question: Creating a race

Two important things.

1. You can use existing body parts in the game but you must create copies of them for your new race.
Therefore, if you are going to use the high elf figurine then you need to take all the parts of the high elf, patch the parts to your race, change the IDs and save them. Because the ID has been changed, a new copy of the object will be created, including the changes you have made. The original will not be modified. If you only update the piece then the high elf lose the body part.
IIRC, a particular piece of the body cannot be shared between races, so that the copies are neccessary.

2. Do not forget vampire heads! Each race has two, one for a male, one for a female.
