Installation:

If you managed to install the requirements, you should have no problems with this mod.

How-To: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/How_to_install_Oblivion_mods


**
Known Issues:

None as of this [original] writing. All meshes edited with Blender, checked and cleaned with Nifskope, and tested in game.

This isn't a straight weight copy, many weights are adjusted manually and I could use constructive comments and criticisms. I don't expect to please everyone but I will take everything into consideration.

[WHY]
I needed something to work on for practice while thinking of what to do with another mod.
Creating this conversion has put me up against a lot of miscellaneous problems to solve and taught me quite a bit.

(notes / corrected vanilla)
LC Shirt 06 - Adjusted non-bbb weights to correct a possible issue with the spine and upperarmtwist groups.
LC Shirt 09 - Joined Arms to UpperBody:0 Adjusted non-bbb weights to make them behave more like other clothes (mesh deform issues).
LC Sedementia - Possible blender import issue in oddly duplicated verts and strange vert normals.
UC Semania - Adjusted non-bbb weights to make them behave more like other clothes (mesh deform issues, possibly due to blender import as vanilla mesh doesn't appear to have these issues).
UC 02 - Removed leg parts (they serve no purpose that I can tell)
UC 03 - Removed leg parts and adjusted non-bbb weights for calf groups.
Rythe's Apron had a clipping issue near the hips; I've combined mesh pieces and adjusted non-bbb weights to fix this.
...

(notes / misc)
I tried to match the bounce to the mesh shapes (e.g. uni-boob implies something like a shelf bra and more uniform bounce).
I've used the 'Bip01 Op3' groups for posterier animations instead of the proper bones (e.g. Bip01 Buttock) because my currently preferred animation replacer (NoMAAM 3.1) doesn't seem to animate the Buttock bones.
I've kept all my final blender files in case I find an animation replacer that uses the buttock vert groups to more easily recreate the nifs.
I had left out semanialc meshes from my initial lowerclass release; this has been corrected.
I didn't reuse the robe meshes as much as I thought I could due to subtle differences in their meshes.
