📋 About This Mod
Welcome to the ninth installment of my Oblivion Immersion Series. Am I the only one who thought that the eyes in vanilla Oblivion seemed a little dull and lifeless? Am I the only one who thought that the vampire eyes looked laughably bad? Yes? To this end, this mod replaces the vanilla eyes for most of the races with textures from various modder's resources The mod comes in multiple flavors:
Vampires (yellow-orange, orange, dull red, intense red) Regular Eyes (elves and humans only) Argonian Eyes (yellow, orange, and red) Khajiit Eyes (green-yellow, gold, goldenrod, and red, each with a matching cat's eye version)
And oops, I forgot to add the orcs, so here you go:
Orc Eyes (bright green, dull green, gold, grey-green)
All of these file categories are independent of each other. So pick and choose at your leisure.
Requirements =============
Oblivion Version 1. 2. 0416
Installation Instructions ======================
Copy contents into your Oblivion data folder
Uninstallation Instructions ========================
Delete the added eye meshes and textures
Incompatibility ==============
The files in this mod are incompatible with each other if they retexture the same thing. For example, the vampire eye retextures are all incompatible with each other, but are compatible with the other non-related files in this mod.
Incompatible with mods that edit the vanilla eye textures for vampires, humans, or elves. Yes, Better Regular Eyes works with Trolls elf eyes mod, since that mod adds new eye textures rather than overwrite the vanilla ones. No, Better Argonian Eyes will not work with Trollberserker's Natural Reptile Eyes. No, Better Khajiit Eyes will not work with Trollberserker's OCO2 Khajiit High-res Eye textures. Yes, also it works with OCO up to version 1. 2. While this mod and OCO 2. 0 are technically incompatible, you can run this mod so long as you let it overwrite the eye meshes and textures for OCO.
Known Issues ============
None at the moment
Troubleshooting ===============
Feel free to come to me with questions or issues and I will help as best as I can. That said, please bear in mind that I am a novice modder and may not be able to offer much in the way of assistance.
Things I Will Not Do ==================
I do not take requests. Sorry, I don't. I am a casual modder who does not have the time or skill for additional projects. I also don't want to generate disappointment by promising something that I may fail to deliver.
I don't make resources; I only use them.
