📋 About This Mod
Name: Axel, Nec\' Zhul, and The Grim Reaper Skeleton CM Partners Version: 1. 0 Date: 5/23/2008 Category: Companions Homepage: Divine Avenger\'s TES:IV Oblivion Videos and Screenshot Stories Description =========== This is Axel, Nec\' Zhul, and Grim Reaper skeleton companions. This partner is completely based off of the awesome CM Partners Mod from Cutthroat Mods by Blackie http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819 A lot of questions can be answered at the CM partner creators url above. Requirements ============ CM Partners Mod Basic - Download and install the latest files here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819 (The only files needed to run these Partners are the CM Partners.esp and the CM Partners.esm and of course the .esp from this mod) Latest oblivion patch. http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm Details ======= Axel is an Archer Class. He was last seen wondering around in the \"Abandoned House\" in Cheydinhal. Nec\' Zhul is a Battlemage Skeletal Lich. He is located just outside of the \"Dark Fissure\" a cave just southeast of Cheydinhal. Grim Reaper is a Warrior Class. He is located at the Imperial Palace cemetary. Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location (your PC\'s desktop for example). 2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3. Copy files Meshes, Textures, and Sound and the DASkeleton.esp to \"Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\\Data\" 4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a check mark beside DASkeleton.esp, CM Partners.esm, and CM Partners.esp and any other CM Partner esps that you want to add to your game. 5. Remember Blackie\'s CM Partners mod basic is needed for this mod to function. Blackie has supplied excellent documentation that explains most of the options for this companion mod so please take the time and read it. Misc. ===== If you are using my other companions Tamara, Raewyn, Aanila, Gimli, or Gandalf it is OK to overwrite the CM Partners.esm, and the CM Partners.esp as they are both compatible with one another. You can use the Party commands now too. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12184 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12082 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12134 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12161 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12299 A great thing about this companion is that it is completely compatible with all of the Animation mods out there. Example: trollf\'s Actors in charge. The animation spells work well.
