Name: Ren's Beauty Pack Expanded Compilation
Version: 1.12
Date: 2017-06-29 (YYYY-MM-DD)
Category: Hair and Face Models/Misc.
Requirements: Shivering Isles, SI Patch 1.2.0.214
Author(s): Various, Compiled by LFact


Description
===========
Cosmetic Compilation based Ren's Beauty Pack and Capucine's Character Expansion.  This does not make anyone beautiful automatically.


Details
=======
This is cosmetic compilation based on Ren's Beauty Pack and Capucine's Character Expansion.  Just like good old 'Cosmetic Compilation', but with more hairs and eyes.  Note that Capucine's eyes(meshes and textures) will replace default eyes.  For Ren's Mystic Elves, they will keep their own eye meshes(Not many eyes are there, sadly).

Not all hairs and eyes available around internet are included.  See 'Credits' to find out what assets are included.  Since I did not pack all available assets(hey, the full package is almost 4.5GB, and even in compressed state, it's over 1GB), you should download each hairs/eyes(if they're not present in the package) and install them manually.


Recommended Mods
================
- Natural Faces or Improved Facial Textures for better age map
- Any body replacer, if you want.
- Any HiRez skin texture
- Optimized Facegen Files or Seamless Neckseams for better head/body EGT
- And Unofficial Oblivion Patch


Install
=======
1. Install this and all required Mods. (hair/eye addon plugins are not needed, and it's recommended to extract them to some temporary folder)
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary(Including copying/moving required resources to right places. To find out, you need to look into the plugin).
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).


Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.
 - All meshes/textures for required Mods
 - And any meshes/textures associated with this mod.
3. If you have character made with this mod, I recommend you to use 'fix hair/eye' function from Wrye Bash to avoid crash.


How to Use
==========
1. After installed properly(you should install all assets required), just activate the plugin.  It's not hard once installed.(And pack it in case of you want to reinstall it)
2. The extra hair and eye library plugin is for those who want to make own cosmetic mod, or whoever wants to merge it into other default race changing mod, such as 'Oblivion Character Overhaul'.
3. For Nehrim, I advise you to delete Ren's hairs and eyes(not extra eyes!) from library before working.  It's for compatibility.
4. To add new hair/eyes to NPC(or making new NPC who uses custom hair/eyes), using this as master of your NPC plugin is suggested.  Well, CS Extender will make it easier...
5. Some hairsets may have alternative hair textures.  They're working as texture replacers, so backup default texture(of given hairstyle) before use them.
 

Incompatibility & Issues
========================
1. This may not work with any default race changing mods(mostly).  Of course, it may not be compatible with any other cosmetic mods(I'm sure it's incompatible even with original Ren's Beauty Pack and Capucine's Character Expansion).
2. With body mods, if a body mod uses plugin, use Wrye Bash to make bashed patch, or merge it to the cosmetic mod plugin with TES4Gecko or TES4Edit.
If it does not work, you can edit the plugin manually to make it work with any body replacer.  You can use Construction Set or any other .esp editing tool.  I recommend you to use TES4Edit, for you can compare several plugins that edit same record(s).
3. Due to difference of UV mapping between vanilla eye meshes and Ren's eye meshes, Mystic Elves can suffer from 'Googly Eyes' when he/she becomes vampire.  There are some mods which disable vampire cosmetic(including eyes), use them if you don't want to see messed up eyes for your elves.


Notes
=====
1. Many eye addons for default eye meshes do not have glow map.  Capucine's Character Expansion used tweaked eye meshes(Really?), and it seems having glow map is a 'must'(I'm not sure).  If you don't like eyes without glow map glowing, copy and rename noglow_g.dds under /textures/characters/eyes/(any eyes you want)/.
Glow map name should be like:
(filename)_g.dds or
if filename is A_B.dds, it can be A_g.dds
2. For Elveon's eyes, I used translator to translate a few names(original mod is in German), but the rest of the eyes remain untranslated.  In fact, almost all of those untranslated color names are generic 'Blue, Green, Brown eyes'(and occasional Light~, Dark~ colors).
3. This mod does not have body textures for body replacers.  You should get them separately(Especially for custom races).
4. Some records are dummy; They're placeholders for preventing some issues(FormID??) or reserving for future addtion(though current dummies are almost meaningless).  If those dummy records are about some assets that cannot be distributed publicly, you should get the resource(don't ask where and how) and add them to plugin for yourself.
5. Several Japanese hairsets are disabled by default.  You should check 'playable'(in Construction Set, of course) if you installed those hairs correctly.  If not, leave them unchecked(it's for preventing some issue regarding missing hair meshes/textures).
6. Many eyes/hairs will remain 'private'(not included in distributed package) because: 1) I don't bother to get permission for being lazy.  2) I don't know how to contact the author(or the author is unreachable).  3) Some terms of use says like 'You can use it, but do not upload this asset on large community'.  Sounds weird, but true(at least for one known hairset released public somewhere).


History
=======

- Elysian's 'Male Hair Mod' is out of beta.  I had already downloaded 2015 pack, but forgot to replace beta version with it... FormIDs are changed as well.  Another compatibility breaker(You should copy only hair resources.  The path must be like \meshes(textures)\Characters\Hair\EHairStyle\(filename).  Delete beta version resources before install them).

1.1 (2016-11-21~2016-11-23)
- FormIDs of Kami Haitteru Vol.1 & MAIA hairs changed. (Will break compatibility)
- Added more hepsy's hairs(hepsy hair 71~91 and some extras).

- Added eyes from Dustinflan Eye Pack 2014.

1.01 (2014-10-30)
- File path of Pageboy hairset is fixed & changed.  
- Q-Ta's Kami Haitteiru Vol.1 Added.
- MAIA hairs added.

1.0 Final (2014-09-28~2014-10-21)
- Released.  This is not fully tested(I can't test it in-game), so may have bug.
- FormIDs of hairs/eyes are reassigned/rearranged by hand.
- Ren's eye textures are edited to have lighter shades.  Credit to bnnfish for eye texture conversion tutorial.
- Centhena's extra Ren eye textures are converted to give more choice for Mystic Elves.
