I'd like to first stress that this is mainly a Modder's Resource. It can be used alone, but doing so will not have many noticable effects.

-------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------

Anyone who has ever attempted to create a Body Mod, or a Race Retexture, has quickly discovered that such a mod is much harder to make then it should be due to the way Oblivion has multiple Races pointing to solitary Textures/Meshes. If you wanted to Re-texture the Bretons for example, you would end up retexturing the Imperials, Nords, and Redguards as well. The only way to avoid this was to create an ESP that altered the Races to point to a new unique texture, but that would then get overwritten or override any other ESP/ESM that touched the Races. Meaning you had to either abandon the idea, make a ton of compatibility patches, or leave it up to the player to patch their multiple Mods together.

The only way to truly fix this issue is for Bethesda to add unique Mesh/Texture Paths to the base ESM, but that's not going to happen. So that is where this Resource comes into play.

-------------------------------
WHAT IT IS
-------------------------------

This Resource includes unique base Textures/Meshes for each race that happens to be missing one, as well a compatibility ESM for v2.7 of the Beautiful People Mod by Midnight Voyager, and v2.0 of the Better Redguards Mod by Luchaire. It has two ESM files; one compatable with the BP Mod, and the other with just the default races/eyes/hair.

Unique Parts are as follows:

Meshes
EarsFemale, EarsMale
EyeLeft, EyeRight
Head
Mouth, TeethLower, TeethUpper, Tongue
TailFemale, TailMale

Textures
EarsFemale, EarsMale, Head
FemaleFoot, FemaleHand, FemaleLowerBody, FemaleUpperBody
MaleFoot, MaleHand, MaleLowerBody, MaleUpperBody
Mouth, TeethLower, TeethUpper, Tongue
TailFemale, TailMale


A list of the parts added to each race a bit further down in this description. This was made using the Shivering Isles, and so includes the Shivering Isles races as well. I don't think this will work without SI.

It can be used in mainly three ways:
1) Used as a base to start modding on
2) Referenced as a master file
3) Included wholesale in Race Mods

The wholesale idea is not recommended, as this Mod is rather large (319mb uncompressed).

-------------------------------
WHAT IT ISN'T
-------------------------------

A Replacer: This includes no files that already exist, so it won't overwrite any base Oblivion files.
A Re-mesh/texture Mod: Each 'new' file is just a re-named and re-pathed copy of the original file (with one exception).
A Stand-alone Mod: Used by itself, this will produce no noticeable change to the base game.

-------------------------------
Resource Details
-------------------------------

Most of these are just re-named and re-pathed default files, the exception: the Dremora Upper/LowerTeeth Meshes. I accidentally used AlienSlof's Dremora Fangs instead of the base Dremora Teeth, and didn't notice until well after everything was finished. So...they're still in there.

The Redguard body/face textures are from the Better Redguard Mod. The Eye Meshes, and the various custom race Meshes/Textures, are from the Beautiful People Mod.
