Beast Race Immersion Mod WIP

I'm working on a mod based on the Argonian Beautification mod (which I am currently using) that adds Morrowind-like feet to Khajiits and Argonians. Right now all the vanilla Khajiits have their feet. The Argonians have feet, but there is major clipping at the ankles most of the time, so I am working on converting all the vanilla pants and greaves to include a set of the Argonian feet and be adjusted to eliminate the clipping. So far, I have finished the lower class clothing, the "Hobbit Britches" style middle class pants, the Shrouded Armor (for Khajiits too), and the tan linens. I don't know how I'm going to handle the greaves. I think I'll try to disassemble the boots and put the front plate on the greaves so there isn't a big empty place where the boots would usually be covering. But making Argonian pants for hours on end gets mega boring, so I don't know when I will finally finish this project. Wish my patience luck if you want to see this uploaded any time soon. When I finish it I will release it as an overhaul for the Khajiit and Argonian Races with the feet/clothes as playable equipment. It will essentially be like Argonian Beautification, but more comprehensive and for Khajiits too.

Oblivion Character Overhaul 2 Khajiit Female Fix

I love Nuska's mod Oblivion Character Overhaul version 2, but it doesn't come with Khajiit body textures to match the new face, which tends to lead to horrible neck seams of doom. There is a fix someone made that retextures the female face to better match the default HGEC Khajiit textures, but I don't really like it. It takes away from the really cool markings that OCO comes with. So I made my own fix that keeps the coloration of the original, but edits it slightly to match some slightly recolored Khajiit HGEC textures by Luchaire. Much better, and virtually no neck seam at all.



There is an optional tail texture in case you are using the (much better) tail replacer that comes with Luchaire's Khajiit textures. Over-right the default tail with this one if you have the new tail.

Fancy Mage's Robe Mod WIP and Frustrating Gloves

As I usually play a mage in Oblivion, I thought I needed some nice robes. Luna has been wearing robes lately as well, which is how this mod got started. I've been putting together some new fancy robes with new meshes and textures, as vanilla is pretty shit if you ask me. I'm working on making male counterparts to the female robes. All of the robes have a matching set of fingerless gloves, but I don't have a glove mesh for Roberts male, so I've spent the last 3 hours working on converting the female gloves to fit the male hand. Pain in the ass!! It's not perfect, but I have got one hand working.

Comparison of Female and Male Gloves


Once I get everything done, I will upload the robes here for all to enjoy. I've worked too hard on this mod to let it sit on my pc all my its lonely self.

Finally after five hours, I have successfully converted the gloves to work with Roberts male. Yes, yes, fucking yes! That was annoying, but I'm really glad I did it.
