📋 About This Mod
In the core folder some robes has skin that requires Robert's Male & Female skin textures, those using HGEC & familiar meshes when installing please install one of the sub-package female replacers. (HGEC C cup or E cup)
NOTE 1: There's NO need to install the original (discontinued, not my words theirs) Aknevrec's Mage Equipment 21 for everything is here in the BSA file.
NOTE 2: If you by chance still using "Francesco's Mage Equipment.esp" from the original Mage Equipment 21's ME Extras folder, DELETE it. For the alter equipment Fran NPCs from it are now on a separate ESP add-on from here.
"Why didn't you just keep the 'Francesco's Mage Equipment.esp' name for the add-on ESP?" I did originally but when sorting in LOOT it confuse it as the old one & left a message thinking there's two main Mage Equipment esps. :P So I gave this add-on ESP a different name to prevent that showing up.
Also to note, stated from Aknevrec in their read me doc, the mod was a beta & you may find like bugs. So far I sorted the known bugs out.
Installing:
First install the contents from the core folder, then the others. By BAIN, select the sub-packages core along with it any of the optionals then install.
Conflicts:To copy paste from Aknevrec read me doc:
"Somepeople reported conflicts with OOO and Living Economy mod. This conflict is not
game breaking, but it is bothersome. It seems that Oblivion automatically adds
the power of the enchantment to the price of the enchanted object. This cannot
be avoided. Since my items are heavily enchanted, I had to use scripts to lower
their prices (some of them cost more than 100000 gp before, which is annoying).
Unfortunately, OOO changes the difficulty of the spells, which makes my
calculations go wrong. This results in some robes being either too expensive or
too cheap or even have no value at all. The Living Economy mod messes up the
scripts used, so they do not work properly. The result is the same as in the
former case. I fear I do not know how to fix this and it is possible that this
is one of the everlasting game bugs. Again, this will not do anything wrong to
your game save for the weird prices."
Now from me, this can conflict with other clothes mods that uses the vanilla RefIDs like example Mankar Camoran robes. I had a few conflicts of such from the Vanilla Gear Redux mod, both mods change about the same 3 robe vanilla refIDs, Vanilla Gear Redux ESP was under this one's originally & the game used VGR mesh file path for them instead, however the enchantments from this mod were still in effect. Other words, if you want the game to use the about 3 robes meshes from this mod put this mod's ESP(s) lower in the loader.
