The material-swap-containing structs toward the end of the record are only used with `MannequinRace`. The `MSSS` and `MSSI` subrecords are probably indices pertaining to the `LMSW` specified in `MSSA`, but any more specific info is likely hiding in the `LMSW`'s `REFL`.

Starfield.esm:HumanRace,ChildRace, andHumanCrowdRace)HumanCorpseRace)MannequinRace)MiniBotARace)Mannequin Skin Swaps
Only used by
MannequinRace, and only to specify apparent indices into (or flags on?)LMS_Mannequin_SkinSwapreferenced in theMSSA, hence the name.MSSSstands for ("Mannequin Skin Swap Skin"?) or what it is (maybe an index?)MSSIstands for "Mannequin Skin Swap Index"MSSAstands for ("Mannequin Skin Swap Assignment"?)Probably won't be able to glean much more from this one until
REFLs are more fully decoded.Open questions
Leaving these as notes for the next person to take a crack at deciphering these fields (that person may or may not be future me).

The only
RACEwith anything defined here isLarvaARace. A couple of the "unknown" values in there are approximately pi; all others are at 1.0 or below.Chargen and Skintones
The "unknown"
NNAMis set forHumanCrowdRace; male hasAB AB AB AB 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00while female hasAB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB. I wonder if this has anything to do with crowd NPCs being clones of one another (once you remove the skinsuits they wear as inventory items)?
