  Modify the races 2da file from cep and remove them and put your modified 2da file in a top hak and have it above the cep ones.

  For my uses, I change their racial modifiers, as I think the Wemic's appearance is pretty cool. I edited the Racialtypes.2da from the CEP to make the Wemics have +2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Int, -2 Wis, -2 Cha, and modified the Brownies to have -4 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Cha. Don't know why the CEP races have odd racial bonuses instead of even ones anyway, considering PnP Wemics have even stat bonuses.
  
  As for removing them from the player list, all you have to do is set their PlayerRace column to 0 and they won't show up anymore.

  Of course! I couldn't see the forest through the trees!
  
  Thank you, sir. Not bad for a pointy-ear. I'll say good things at the tavern about you tonight.

  They did that because Wemic is a level adjust +3 in PNP they do not have even stat adjustment. If you playing with a party of 4 level characters the weamic would start his class at level 1. Some dm give them a 10% xp penalty for each Level adjustment to offset this over time. It it all goes with the rules in savage species and playing monster races. If they made the bownie size Tiny the engine will only allow him/her to wield short swords and daggers size weapons.
  
  You could add racial feat with the level adjustment information and script in system for them. It not too hard.

  @ShadowM I'm aware of the Level Adjustment and other racial bonuses they're supposed have, such as monstrous levels and natural armor, but my concern was the fact their actual ability scores are increased by Odd Numbers rather than Even Numbers. The stats I found for the Wemic (which I found on D&D tools here) say the Wemic has +8 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con, and -2 Cha, meaning that the CEP subtracted one from all but the charisma modifier. I imagine this is simply a copy and paste from the original mod, but I can't imagine any balancing reason as to why the mod creator would do it, considering how little they actually reduced their stat bonuses.
