📋 About This Mod
Current version: 2. 3 ___________________________ CHANGELOG: 11/10/2011 uploaded ESP update 2. 3, which features unique attributes created for the Synx. More infos below! Thanks NameHasntUsed for creating them. NOTE: Those skills and attributes probably won\'t be added if you\'re already play a Synx character, you need to create a new one or change the race twice (to another one, and then reverse). I recommend the Character Generate Amulet, this way all your other stats won\'t be resetted. 10/4/2011 reupped the complete package because the new eyes were in the wrong folder. If you don\'t want to redownload everything, simply put this folder \"/textures/characters/Synx/SynxEye/\" to this path: \"/textures/characters/Synx/Eyes/SynxEye/\". Thanks SilverCobra126 for reporting this! 10/1/2011 uploaded a complete package and some optional eyes, there\'s a sample in the image section if you\'re interested. 9/19/2011 uploaded Update 2. 2, which includes the hotfix and 17 new hairstyles (Cazy package). Thanks Cazy and ziitch! 9/12/2011 uploaded hotfix for the Ren_Head version. Eyelashes are finally fixed. 8/28/2011 uploaded final version, including more hairstyles, more versions (both female and male) and minor bugfixes. Full download only (sorry!) 5/28/2011 added Roberts Female texture as optional file 5/22/2011 added another CM Companion + started a list with all the other Synx Companions. 5/20/2011 uploaded V1. 2. New stuff: Male version, some new eyes, male hairstyles. Fixed some bugs (thanks ziitch), adjusted ears 5/18/2011 as requested, I made a CM Companion of the girl in the image section. Changed her a bit, though. 5/17/2011 fixed hairstyles. A HUGE thank you to Geechan! If there\'s something wrong with the patch, please let me know. 5/15/2011 Release v1. 0 __________________________ CM Partners: Sara by glock3 and LegacyCloud Isabell, Sandra and Franziska by me Nina by Mogadin Lilyana by PSTM Liana by Chibiguy2 Athorielle by Kpnut Thank you for creating these! __________________________________________ Description: Originally coming from Morrowind, the Synx are an embattled race with royal blood pouring through their veins. Only a few remember when - or why - they went to Cyrodiil. Some people even say that they\'re descendants of Julianos, but that\'s probably just gossipry. The only thing that is written down about their prehistory is that the Synx once ruled their own territory in the southwest of Morrowind. They are known for their patience, veracity and swordplay. _____________________________ I\'ve originally created this race to get a human-looking character to my taste. The Synx expanded very quickly, and after some people wrote me, I decided to release them here. Newest release got several female AND male versions: Female Version 1: Ren_Head001 based, original version Female Version 2: Head06 based, little to no makeup Female Version 3: Head06 based, more makeup Female Versio
Adds a new playable race called The Synx, with both female and male variants. A classic Oblivion mod with nearly 3,000 endorsements and over 158,000 downloads, last updated in 2011.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community love (2,976 endorsements) — this race has staying power
- Massive download count (158,663) shows it's a go-to for race mods
- Simple concept: new race, both genders — no bloat, just what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 — may have compatibility issues with newer setups or mods
- No detailed description provided, so you're going in blind on appearance and lore
- Only adds a race — no custom abilities, stats, or starting bonuses mentioned
For Oblivion players who want a fresh race option without overhauling the game. If you're into character creation variety and don't need lore or mechanics, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or deep race features.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a race mod, make sure to place the ESP in your Data folder and activate it in the launcher before starting the game.
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Check the race in the character creation screen — if it doesn't show up, verify the mod is enabled and you have the latest Oblivion patch.
