About this mod

This mod is an expansion of Louis original FF7AC Jenova's child race mod which adds a fully-tested option to play as a female character as well as new characters, dialogue, items, locations, etc. intended to make the Jenovar into a fully viable and reasonably balanced race.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This is the same mod I submitted a long time ago to the PES site which no longer seems to host Morrowind mods. A much earlier version of the same mod is also available on Morrowind Modding History.

Description:

This mod is an expansion of Louis' original FF7AC mod which adds a fully-tested option to play as a female character as well as new characters, dialogue,items locations, etc. intended to make the Jenovar into a fully viable and reasonably balanced race.(The female option uses Better Bodies meshes which are not included so you will need Better Bodies installed to play this mod). This mod also incorporates Rin's Oblivion Hairs and Beauty Shop (which has been moved to an interior cell accessed through the trapdoor in the floor of the Balmora outfitter). 

Despite the its limited scope, this is a huge mod, mainly because I incorporated materials from a variety of Asian/Final Fantasy themed resource packs in order to fully flesh out the characters andlocations added by this mod. For this reason, the mod would also make a great starting point for other mods which is fine with me as long as you include this readme and the SOURCE README file in the data files in order to ensure that credit goes where credit is due.

This mod also adds a number of hairs and faces for other races (these being drawn from Rin's Beauty Shop and Oblivion hairs) but does not change any of the in-game faces.

Careful: This mod does not add any adult content or any nude characters but the race does use nude BB meshes so if you are offended by being able to make a character who COULD be nude if you took your clothes off, be warned accordingly.

Installation: 

Just copy the Data Files folder into your Morrowind folder and everything should go into the right places.(Click overwrite when necessary) 


(Note: if you you install any mod after this one that uses Ren's hairs without renaming the meshes (such as MCA 5.2), you will lose Sonya's skinned versions of the hairs.  Reinstalling Sonya's hairs by copying and pasting the "Meshes/Louis" into your "Meshes" folder and overwriting will fix the hairs again (and won't interfere with save-games or the other mod).

Compatibility issues: 

Installing some mods including MSGO AFTER this mod will mess up some of the hairs. However, this is easy to fix if you are using Nexus Mod Manager by simply reinistalling the Jenovar race. This will fix any errors with the hair and won't affect save games. If you don't use Nexus mod manager, you can fix this by simply copying the meshes and textures in the Data Files folder from this mod and overwriting the Meshes and Textures files in your own Data Files folder. 

Other than that, there are no known issues as this mod is built with as little modification to existing cells as possible. I did add quite a lot in terms of interior cells as well as a Japanese-style shrine just to the South of Balmora but I have never seen anything in that location even though I use many mods including many that change Balmora so there shouldn't be any conflicts. 

Playing the mod:

To play, just go into the Clagius Clanler's outfitting shop in Balmora and look for a trap door on the first floor. The Dwemmer ruin that it leads to is the site of Rin's Beauty shop and it has a ventilation shaft which is one route to the shrine to the South of Balmora. 

Changing the Face and Hair of an Existing Character:

There are two ways to change the face of your existing character without starting a new game. First, open the console and type "enableracemenu". Choose your new face and hair. Changing your race will cause temporary problems that should resolve themselves when you reload. Always save your game first in case of unpredictable errors and save afterwards in a new file. Enableracemenu will only work once. If you want to change your face again you must first exit Morrowind and reload your game.

Second, visit "Outffiter" in Balmora and buy the faces and hairs from Rin. One harmless but annoying bug is that when the faces are used as clothing, the mouth may never stop talking so I would recommend that you choose your face by using the console if possible.

Save Games:

This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save your game while this plugin is loaded, you may encounter error messages when you reload the saved game without the plugin but you will be able to continue on with the original game.

Requirements: 

Requires Better Bodies installed as the female Jenova's child uses Better Bodies Meshes. Also requires Better Clothing since the Better Bodies models will not look right without it.

Changelog:
