📋 About This Mod

Bring back elves eyes design from other Elder Scrolls games.

Elves in TES series has unique eyes design that gives them their own distinct look: Dunmer has red eyes, Altmer has green-ish eyes, and Bosmer has deep black eyes. In Oblivion, those designs weren't used for reason unknown and resulted in their eyes look like generic humans. With this mod I've tried to amend this issue by making the eyes design similar to other games in the series, while retain the variety and look of vanilla NPCs, providing a vanilla friendly improvement for people who play with vanilla graphic.

- For Dunmer: New texture that makes their sclera dark red instead of white.

- For Bosmer: Added deep black eyes texture. Bosmers that had green eyes in vanilla are given this eyes. I feel it's fitting that vanilla brown eyes remain for some Bosmers as it was also how some of them looked in Morrowind.

- For Altmer: New green eyes texture that has green sclera like Skyrim. Altmers that had blue and brown eyes in vanilla are given this eyes. Like Morrowind, some of them still have green eyes with white sclera.

Do let me know if you think the mod can still be improved upon! There were a lot of NPCs to cover so some of the current changes might not be suitable yet.

Requirement:

Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansion

Unofficial Oblivion Patch is required due to this mod including fixes for the NPCs from it.

Recommended mods:

Undeformed Potatoes - Subtle NPC Overhaul by me - A subtle NPC overhaul for people who play with vanilla graphic, initially this was supposed to be part of the mod but I felt it's better for it to be a separated thing.

Oblivion Upscaled Textures by Kartoffels - Amazing upscaled textures for vanilla faces, I recommend you to download the characters optional file (3. 0) but ONLY copy the facemap textures (headhumanf10, headhumanm10, 20, 30, ...) from darkelf, imperial and orc folders.

High Resolution Faces for Roberts Male and Female by Robert and improved by Foxroe - This face diffuse retexture is very close to the vanilla face texture which is a definitive improvement but still fitting with vanilla visual style. (ONLY the default diffuse face texture: headdarkelf.dds, headhuman.dds, headorc.dds)
