This is version 2. 2 of Better Bodies. It replaces both the males and the females of all eight humanoid races in Morrowind. You do not need to have Tribunal or Bloodmoon installed to use Better Bodies. The meshes are now in their final states (really this time), so anybody who wants to can make clothing or armor for these bodies.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 11,618 endorsements and nearly 300k downloads.
- Gives your character a serious visual upgrade without touching gameplay.
- NMM integration makes installation a breeze compared to manual modding.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may have compatibility issues with newer game versions or mods.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Use Nexus Mod Manager to install — the mod is specifically designed for it, so you'll get a customizable setup wizard.
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure it's set to handle Oblivion mods correctly, or you might end up with missing textures.
- Check your load order if you have other body mods installed — Better Bodies should override or be overridden depending on your preference.
