Vexend Races mod for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Vexend Races

v1.2 by Ferimens, update by InuYasha

Description

(first of all, excuse-me for my bad english)
This mod adds 2 playable races to the game : wolvens and vexends, with their own appearance and characteristics.
They are derived from khajit meshes with a quick (and dirty, I'm afraid) retexturing.

In-Game description:

Come from the kingdom of Hircine and often considered as creation of the daedric prince, Wolvens are wild by nature. High strength make them efficient warriors or knights, despite their affinity with destruction magic.

Vexends are a creation of Hircine, valued for their great dexterity. Most of them choose to take up a career among shadows because of their ability to run and hide. According to their ethics, they often became thieves, agents or murderers.

Requirements

- Oblivion, with 1.2 patch (not tested with older versions)
- KT Custom Race Fix or Unofficial Oblivion Patch
- Hentai Gentlemen's EyeCandy Body (HGEC) or other similar body mod which uses footfemale.dds as body texture is recommended

Installation

Extract the files in your oblivion data directory.
Load one "Vexend Race" plugin of your choice: either friendly or hostile animals version, not both! IMPORTANT: rename chosen ESP to exactly "Vexend Race.esp"!
Play the game, the new races should be available when starting a new game.
For modders: IMPORTANT: this ESP is also a MASTER FILE! After creating your own NPC mod derived from this mod, add this ESP file to its dependencies list MANUALLY (using Wrye Bash or other tools) otherwise the game will crash.
The "Vexend NPC" file is optional - it adds generic NPCs to the game as an example.
NOTE: The readme file contains more information.

Body Replacers (optional)

This package also provides textures for the following body replacers:
- Exnem's EyeCandy (HGEC compaticle, used by default)
- Robert's male body replacer
- Robert's female body replacer
NOTE: version 1.2 has its own textures, so original were moved into corresponding /original/ subdirectories.

Credits

I have to thank Exnem and Robert for their body replacers. The textures provided by this package are directly derived from theirs.

Big thanks to Hidemaro for Inari Race tail models.
Mesh adaptation, texturing, scripting by InuYasha.
Some skin textures used here were made by anonymous modders more than a decade ago and I'm pretty sure they don't mind. )

This mod update was approved by its original author - big thanks to him. All resources from this update are free to be modded but, since they're derived from other game resources, restrictions may apply.
