📋 About This Mod
The Eyecandy Variants Expansion (EVE) HGEC Body Selector and Stock Equipment Replacer replaces the original female clothing and armor files for vanilla Oblivion with versions conformed to several variations on the HGEC female body created by RAIAR http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15802, which is itself based on the original Exnem\'s Eyecandy body http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10171. The Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine are also supported by this pack, but not required. This mod is designed to be easy to install and as user-friendly as possible, but it is still a complex modification to a complex game. You are advised to read all instructions before proceeding. EVE supports the following body options: Upper Body: HGEC Normal E-Cup: This is the default upper body in the HGEC v1. 1 pack, the Normal option, not the more muscular Fighter option. HGEC Normal C-Cup: This is the alternate C-cup option for HGEC v1. 1 HGEC EBE E-Cup: This is the Extra Buff Edition (EBE), a variation on HGEC v1. 1 created by MadCat221. It is a more muscular version similar in build to the original Exnem body. EVE\'s creators decided to use this rather than the Fighter version of HGEC v1. 1. Lower Body: HGEC Normal: This is the default lower body in the HGEC v1. 1 pack HGEC Wide: This variant has wider hips and a somewhat larger rear; in the pack of alternate lower bodies for HGEC, it is the LL option. HGEC EBE: This is a more muscular lower body for use with the Extra Buff Edition upper body. The E-Cup equipment conversions and all Lower Body conversions were primarily done by Grhys. The C-Cup conversions were done primarily by Sm0ken1nfin8. EVE is designed so that any combination of these options can be used. All of the necessary files to install these body replacers are included. If you already have the HGEC body installed, or are using a variant of it that is not directly supported by EVE, you can install only the equipment replacer files. These conversions take a lot of time and effort, so we cannot provide direct support for every variation on the HGEC body that is out there. Hopefully you can find an option that is reasonably close to your preferred body. If, for example, you use the HGEC D-Cup version, you might install either the Normal E-Cup or Normal C-Cup equipment, depending on your preference. Both an OMOD version and a manual installation version are available. The OMOD is designed to allow the user to easily change which body options are installed. It also makes uninstalling EVE much simpler. This is the suggested installation. The manual install is for users who do not care to use OMODs and/or who know exactly which options they want and do not see themselves changing their minds very often. Both contain the following plugin files: Main Plugin: EVE_StockEquipmentReplacer.esp In vanilla Oblivion, seve

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 12,083 endorsements and over 700k downloads show it's a go-to for HGEC users.
- Fixes the jarring mismatch between vanilla gear and the HGEC body, making your character look consistent in every outfit.
- Covers both vanilla and modded items, so it's a broad compatibility patch for your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009 — if you're on a newer Oblivion version or use other body mods, you might hit conflicts.
