ubc race

+++ please refer to my user profile about me page and follow my recommendations how to use my mods as an addition to nexusmods terms +++

this is my unlimited beta char race inspired by bellagails elf and vampire mods.

the idea was was to create a simple and out of the box naturalistic handsome imperial female race supporting high res tex and hgec.

why ubc ? because it is my first race and probably a longer, slowly developing and sparetime dependend project.

V 1. 5 jan 2017 contains contains new normals maps for body and face textures with fine tuned alpha channel for seamless character skin.

in the head folder of the race you will find an alternative head texture with painted brows and eyes. if you want to try this just rename both textures

Requirements

high res texture capable hardware

version 1. 2. 0416 of Oblivion.

one of the custom race mod enabler to use custom races properly

HGEC body mod for the correct meshes

Installation

use mod manager/organizer or manually at your own risk:

1. copy files to \Oblivion\Data\ folder

2. activate unlimitedbetachar.esp

3. a savegame (.ess file) with customized facedata (see my screenshots) is separately added. put it in your savegame data folder and load the game after activating the mod

important handling information

- select unlimitedbeta race female in race menu. you can use all race menu sliders, using skin tone sliders may lead to neckseam gliches.

to minimize that effect in case just enter "showracemenu" to console and save new settings again.

- custom hair may be in some cases not visible after the first selection in racemenu (naked head). reloading the saved game or toggeling between eyes in the eye selection menu resolves this issue. shouldn't happen ingame.

- you can optionally use the added savegame with opimized facedata or simply transfer the included facedata with wryebash to your own savegame

Uninstalling

deactivate esp and delete all the files in the meshes and texture folder added by this modpackage.

be aware to change race before saving the game and uninstalling if you want to use the savegame with another race.
