Workaround to the Extraplanar Immunity?

Hello everyone, I was messing around in EE Keeper and NearInfinity trying to assign the 'Tiefling' race to a player character. Specifically I was trying to get the 'Tiefling' race to appear on a character record. Now assigning the race was easy enough and it shows up quite nicely but then I noticed that that character also became immune to all Healing Spells. (Cure Light Wounds, Cure Medium Wounds, Heal, etc.). I presume this is happening because those spells exempt 'Extraplanar' creatures from being affected similar to undead.

So, is there a workaround to this problem so that a character or creature with the "Tiefling - 153" race both has this information show up in their character sheet while also NOT making them immune to the Cure/Cause Wounds spells? I was specifically trying to do this in an IWDEE install.

Any modding wizards willing to share their insights?

    One possible solution I've found would be to edit the spells in question, specifically removing the Immunity which would correspond to the race in question. I was wondering if there was perhaps a more elegant solution rather than having to edit every spell individually?

    Alright, I figured out how to properly patch this. I'll leave this here as a reference if anyone wants to try something similar. Following code snippet would correctly adjust the cure light wounds spell (sppr103.spl). match_parameter1 is set to the value of the 'tiefling' race (153).

    COPY_EXISTING ~sppr103.spl~ ~override/sppr103.spl~ 
    LPF DELETE_EFFECT 
      INT_VAR 
      match_parameter1 = 153
 END
