📋 About This Mod

Tattoo Armor for HGEC by Dan(dpcollier128) ---------- Intro. WARNING: This mod covers mostly NOTHING on your HGEC goddess! You\'re welcome! This is the color enhanced version for my modder\'s resource, adding some premade tattoo item meshes and textures to your Oblivion files and a plugin. Tattoos come in two versions: body mesh replacing, for full armor suits and separates, and jewelry suits, for those who don\'t like armors that cover HARDLY ANYTHING. The jewelry versions are available in amulet or tail form only. I had some technical difficulties with the meshes in the ring slot so I chose to exclude the ring version of suits and abolish the jewelry separates entirely from the plugin. You may still experiment with the jewelry separates meshes if you like, but they are not in the plugin I supply. The jewelry version doesn\'t work well with clothing that shows amulets or tails. If you like your HGEC goddess to run around naked, that isn\'t a problem, though. Armor version just replaces the appropriate biped slots. I tried my best to arrange the tattoos\' texturing to look at least remotely armor-like. Extra normal maps and glow maps are included for you to experiment with the level of shine and/or glow on the tattoos. New to this verson are meshes already mapped to glowing textures of Amethyst, Crystal, etc. Also in this version is a fifth mundane color, Molten (iron or steel). I am not currently reading comments, for I have stopped modding for Oblivion. Caution: All requirements and suggested mods I mention here may be out of date. ---------- Requirements (for a decent experience) Body textures compatible with Exnem\'s body Raiar\'s HGEC v1. 1, standard body (personal favorite, used for the pics and meshes) ---------- Suggested mods (for best experience) Ozmo\'s HighRez Skin Textures for HGEC (the one with the install tool, used in the new pictures) Raiar\'s HGEC v1. 1, standard body ---------- Install NOTE: Installing works best if you delete older versions of this mod first. If you want it playable in game: Place the folder named \"Data\" in your \"(install folder)/Oblivion\" directory and say \"Yes to all\" when it asks if you want to replace anything with the same name. (if you are doing a clean install it replaces nothing) And load up Oblivion with the plugin active in the game\'s plugins submenu. If you want to mod with this: I don\'t care how you install it... WARNING: works best with HGEC E-cup standard body. Not responsible for incompatibility issues (clipping and general f\'ugliness) with other body mods or variations, including the default Exnem, HGEC fighter, or larger/smaller proportioned HGEC body meshes. ---------- Uninstall Delete the \"Dan_s\" folder in \"Meshes/Tattoos/Item\", \"Textures/Tattoos/Armor\", and \"Textures/Menus/Icons/Tattoos/Armor\" folders, or delete the \"Tattoos\" folders under the \"Meshes\", \"Texture\", and \"Menus/Icons\" director
