📋 About This Mod

This is a simple tweak which raises the Nord and Orc height and weight to be more realistic. According to lore, the Nords and Orcs are supposed to be the biggest race, and the tallest under the Altmer, and well, they\'re just not, and this has always bothered me, so \"Bigger Nords and Orcs\" was born. There is a similar mod that does this. \"Bulky Nords\" and \"Bulky Orcs\" but (and with all due respect to the author) the mod goes way too far, making the Nord and Orc WAY taller than the Altmer, which by lore is wrong. The vanilla height for the Nord and Orc is 1. 03. I raised it to 1. 09. The weight in vanilla is 1. 10, and I raised it to 1. 12. The Altmer height is 1. 10, still leaving them a tad bit taller than the Nords and Orcs, just as it should be. The females height has also been raised by the same standard. Their weight however I left that at 1. 06. This is simple plug and play. However, \"IF\" you have Nord or Orc companions running, I suggest you load this file before them, else their mod will override this one, and they will still have the vanilla height and weight. Other than that, pretty simple. The best way to put files in a certain order is to use (OMM)Oblivion Mod Manager. Great tool which every Oblivion modder and player should have. Copy and paste, or drag the file over to the game\'s data file folder, and select the plugin at game start up. You\'re ready to go. Enjoy! Crypts Of The Dead
