1. Description
==============
*****Recently added a save game file for the face in the screenshots. Save game file starts at the sewer exit.*****

*****This mod uses the vanilla oblivion body textures and facial textures, see requirements below if you use a body replacer and or a facial texture mod.*****

*****Please also note that this mod may be bugged. I made it from a modded Oblivion install and had to edit it to what i 'think' will work for a vanilla oblivion install. If it doesn't work please let me know via PM and I will look into it as best I can. I may end up having to release a version that requires the Exnem Female Eye Candy body mod to work correctly. I cannot say for certain at the moment, so you could say this is a beta release I guess.*****

Anyways on with the festivities.

This mod adds my version of Half Orcs to the game, as I simply wanted a nice looking green skinned female character to play. I used High Elves and Orcs as the two "parental" races and tried to combine them as best I could to make this version of Half Orcs. So therefore Half Orcs in this mod have the Orcs Resist Magic ability, High Elves Fortify Magicka ability and also the High Elves Weakness to Elemental damage. Everything should be included in the zip file to get Half Orcs into your game. Here are the various stats as listed with the TES CS ....

Stats: Male / Female
Str 35 / 35
Int 40/50
Wil50/45
Agi35/40
Spd35/30
End50/40
Luc45/35
Pers30/45

Skill Bonus:
Alchemy5
Armorer10
Blade10
Block10
Destruction10

You can see all the data for Half Orcs using the TES CS and any of these stats can be changed fairly easily to suit your likes better using the TES Construction Set. I encourage you to change anything you like if my version of Half Orcs doesn't fit your tastes. Note, currently there is no description of the Half Orc race under the "ShowRaceMenu".

2. Install
==========

Unzip/Uncompress the contents of the "Half Orcs.7z" zip file to your Oblivion data directory: (..OblivionData). Use the Oblivion Launcher or the Oblivion Mod Manager to activate the "Zombie Diversity.esp" file. To uninstall simply delete the "Half Orcs.esp" and the "Half Orcs Readme.txt" files from your Oblivion Data directory and delete the "Half Orcs" folder from your Oblivion meshes folder ( ..OblivionDataMeshes) and the Oblivion textures folder ( ..OblivionDataTextures)

Alternatively you can use the Oblivion Mod Manager to create an Omod using the "Half Orcs.7z" zip file to easily install and uninstall this mod. And this is the method that I would advise.

3. Requirements
================

If you would like to see all the hairs this mod supports then you need to install Throttle Kitty's Hairpack found here ...
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14454

If you would like to add more hairs to this mod then you will need to use Wrye Bash and merge this mod with that of the Hair Mod you would like to use.

***Important***
This mod uses the vanilla oblivion body textures and facial textures.
If you use a body replacer, such as Exnem's Female Eye Candy (Such as I do.) or HGEC or Robert's Male, then you will need to copy the respective textures used for the Orcs body from the body replacer you use to the Half Orcs textures folder. For male body replacers you need to copy the body replacer textures to the ..OblivionDataTexturesCharactersHalf OrcMale folder and for female body replacers copy the body replacer textures to the ..OblivionDataTexturesCharactersHalf OrcFemale folder.

If you use facial textures such as Improved Facial Textures or Facial Textures by Enayla (I use both of them.) then you will need to copy those textures to the ..OblivionDataTexturesCharactersHalf Orc folder to get them to show up on your Half Orc.

I know this may seem like a lot of trouble to get Half Orcs to work with your body replacer or facial textures. But I feel this method is the easiest way to keep this mod to one file and yet allow those with vanilla oblivion to not experience any problems. Also using this method I do not have to get permission to use the textures from the body replacer or facial texture mod authors. If you would like to make a compatible version of this mod that contains eveything needed for your chosen body replacer or facial texture mod, please feel free to do so, just make sure you get permission from the body replacer or facial textures mod author first. If you know of a better method to accomplish the same things please let me know or release it yourself.

4. Compatibility
================

Frankly I am not sure what this is or is not compatible with. I currently am using 35+ mods as well as TIE and TNRSI by Veritas Secretas and have had no problems so far. If you experience any compatibility issues by all means let me know.
