📋 About This Mod
========== Description ========== This is more then likely my final mod for Oblivion, with Skyrim days away I thought I should pay homage to my favorite TES race the Argonian. This mod adds brand new higher res face textures for both Argonian males and females, these textures are 98% made by myself using photo resources along with brand new normal maps. The original vanilla texture size was 512x512 these new textures are 512x512 or 1024x1024 or 2048x2048 or 4096x4096. This mod is as is, as in finished baring any major bug fixes. I am currently uninstalling Oblivion for the final time from my machine. ========== Recommended Mods ========== Robert Argonian Skin (by me): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22844 Argonian Beautification (by Drake the Dragon): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15469 Scripted Argonian Feet (by Drake the Dragon): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=33396 BWs Argonian Hair (by Marsh-Brother): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13050 Coms Argonian Headstyles (by Comit): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6553 Capucines Aquamer Race (I use the eyes that come with this mod, you will have to know some CS to get it to work.): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16366 ========== Requirements ========== Oblivion ========== Installation ========== Extract all files to program files\\bethesda softworks\\oblivions\\data. If you are asked to overwrite files under meshes and textures, select \'yes to all\'. ========== History ========== 1. 0 - First Release ========== Known Bugs & Issues: ========== There is bound to be a neck seam, but it should be pretty minor. ========== CREDITS & PERMISSIONS ========== Nivea: for making the textures. ========== Licensing/Legal ========== Since this is more then likely my last mod for Oblivion it is free use, I simply ask you give me credit and post a link on my mod page so I can check it out for fun. ========== Contact ========== You can find me on many different forums, all under the same name Nivea I check all my mail often.
