📋 About This Mod
With this mod the player takes animation and skin of the lich encountered in the game ! Undead are also your friends :) First : Download TheTalkieToaster\'s Playable & NPC Creatures mod, which is required: (you just need Repository.esm and ExampleRace.esm) http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=31821 Second : Download a main file : to install, simply unzip the folder into your Oblivion directory. Third : You can also download optional file in order to use onehandweapon. After that choose lich in race selection. Good game ! ;) Be careful this is my first mod and there are some problems : don\'t use autosave or rapidsave sometimes it crashes. EDIT : -Don\'t forget to activate the 2 required ESM (or oblivion doesn\'t work) -Need Obse -The lich animation in very heavy, on over moded Oblivion it can\'t work properly -Don\'t forget to desactivate my other race mod (skeleton conflict) Thanks for your support, and don\'t forget to download my other race mod (Auroran, Dread Zombie, Daedroth, Scalon...)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives you a fresh, monstrous way to play—who doesn't want to be a Lich?
- Uses the actual in-game Lich model and animations, so it's authentic.
- Decent community interest with 78 endorsements and over 4,000 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—might not work with newer Oblivion patches or mods.
- Only adds the Lich race; no extra features or customizations beyond that.
For Oblivion players who want to roleplay as an undead spellcaster and enjoy playing as enemy creatures. If you're looking for a full race overhaul with new powers or quests, this isn't it—it's a simple cosmetic and animation swap.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, make sure to back up your save before installing, just in case.
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Check if you have any other mods that alter the Lich creature—they might conflict with this one.
