This is a small retexture of the Skeletal Hound from the SI add on - (requires the Shivering Isles expansion for use!!) It replaces all of the Skeletal hounds (including Ushnars) with a new retextured version that resembles the gatekeeper or flesh atronach. It was created in answer to a request thread on the Bethesda Forums.

1. Installing the Plug-in

*****************************************************************

To install the plug-in:

- If you have Unpacked your BSA Files - Rename the following files :
- textures\creatures\dog\Skeletalhound.dds
- textures\creatures\dog\Skeletalhound_n.dds
- textures\creatures\dog\Skeletalhound_g.dds

( this is in case you wish to restore them later !! )


- Uncompress all the files into the "Oblivion\Data" directory

- If you have not unpacked the BSA's then just unpack the files to yourOblivion\Data folder !!

*****************************************************************

2. Playing the Plug-in

*****************************************************************

Since this Mod simply replaces the existing Skeletal Hound textures with a new version, there is no .esp file needed once you unpack the textures to the proper folder ( oblivion\data\ ) they will automatically be used instead of the originals from the game. ( If you have unpacked your BSA's and wish to keep the originals for future use without the need to unpack from the BSA - rename the following : skeletalhound.dds, skeletalhound_n.dds, and skeletalhound_g.dds ( all located in the textures\creatures\dog folder ))


*****************************************************************

3. Reason for this Plug-in

*****************************************************************

This plug-in was designed as a response to a request on the Elder Scrolls forum. And was released since a few others had shown interest in using the new textures.
