📋 About This Mod

The second part of my NPC revamp series, Allure of the Magi aims to modernize and adjust the appearance of the Mages Guild members across all of Cyrodiil to make them more unique and have them better reflect their personalities and stories.

The screenshots provided are using vanilla meshes and textures, but these adjustments should work flawlessly with your favourite texture and mesh mods! 



REQUIREMENTS

  • []UE4SS

    []Race Menu Utilities

  • []NPC Appearance Manager

    MANUAL INSTALL

    • []Install UE4SS, Race Menu Utilities and NPC Appearance Manager. Make sure to set up the NPC Appearance Manager properly according to the provided instructions;

      []Unzip the Allure of the Magi archive;

      []Copy its contents into the OblivionRemastered\OblivionRemastered\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\NPCAppearanceManager\NPC folder;

      []Enjoy!

      Due to the nature of the NPC Appearance Manager the mod is modular by default; if you prefer not to use a specific character's redesign, simply delete their associated file from the directory mentioned above!

      FEATURE LIST

      The mod currently features revamps for all the local guild chapters, with future plans to tackle the Arcane University and related Mages Guild quest NPCs.

      Ita Rienus, Delphine Jend and Selena Orania have received a second pass to make them more unique. Carandial at the Bravil hall is joining them as a new addition to the pack!

      • []Adrienne Berene's looks now better capture the high strung Skingrad hall it-girl's attitude.

        []Erthor is now suitably younger and poutier looking.

        []Vigge the Cautious is now rocking a beard any Nord mage would be proud of, as well as minor proportion tweaks.

        []Sulinus Vassinus was adjusted slightly to make him more unique while preserving his kind demeanor.

        []Druja has been made more unique to set her aside from all the other green and red Argonians.
