Description
===========

This mod adds a character based on the Final Fantasy VII character Sephiroth to the game as a companion as well as adding his own custom items from other mods. This companion uses the awesome CM Partners Mod from Cutthroat Mods by
Blackie http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819
A lot of questions can be answered at the CM partner creators url above.


Requirements
============

CM Partners Mod Basic - Download and install the latest files here:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819
(The only files needed to run this Partner is the CM Partners.esp and the CM Partners.esm and of course the .esp from this mod)

- Latest Oblivion Patch.
http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

- The face of the character was made with Maboroshi Daikon's Natural faces mod installed and it is VERY STRONGLY recommended that this be installed first as the quality of the face appearance will be much less without it.

Details
=======

Sephiroth is a Knight class character. He is currently at the "Roxey Inn" just North, outside of the Imperial City.


Install

=======

1. Extract the files to a temporary location (your PC's desktop for example).
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files Meshes, Textures, and the DASephirothCompanion.esp to "Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data"
4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check mark beside DASephirothCompanion.esp, CM Partners.esm, and CM Partners.esp and any other CM Partner esps that you want to add to your game.
5. Remember Blackie's CM Partners mod basic is needed for this mod to function. Blackie has supplied excellent documentation that explains most of the options for this companion mod so please take the time and read it.


History
=======

1.0, 4/16/2008


Misc.
=====

If you are using my other companions Tamara, Raewyn, Aanila, Gimli, or Gandalf it is OK to overwrite the CM Partners.esm, and the CM Partners.esp as they are both compatible with one another. You can use the Party commands now too.

A great thing about this companion is that it is completely compatible with all of the Animation mods out there. Example: trollf's Actors in charge. The animation spells work well.

Here are some great animation mods.

Thanks to Cutthroat Mods - Blackie!!! I would not have been able to make my own companion from scratch. So many many thanks to Blackie for providing this mod to share.

Thanks to jimmyoneshot for his awesome work altering my Legolas save game to turn this into an outstanding version of Sephiroth likeness. But even much more with his leadership and ideas putting a lot of effort into making this character. It just wouldn't have been as good without him.

A very special thanks to Keter Sephiroth, whom we now consider part of our team, for his constant input for this mod aswell as creating custom animations for us and generally bringing his Sephiroth expertise to our aid at any time at the drop of a hat.

A very special thanks to the master of armour LordMaddog who's Final Fantasy VII armours used in this mod are above all others.

Thanks to Nivea who was willing to edit the Sephiroth wig for us the moment she was asked for assistance, twice.

Thanks to Sshodan for making hair meshes that were set up as wigs and thanks to Alienslof for texturing as we have used a wig from their awesome mod called "It's a Wig"!

Thanks to alexscorpion for creating the best version of Sephiroth's masamune possible which we have used in this mod.

Thanks to Maboroshi Daikon for creating Natural Faces which helped greatly at producing the perfect texture for the face.
