--> Unofficial Patch: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5296
--> Custom Race Fix: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1815

2. You will need Robert's Seamless Male body replacer and one of these female body replacers: Fantasy Figures or Exnem Eyecandy. No support (at this time) for vanilla or other body replacers!

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

This is an update to the Tabaxi race, combining the original tabaxi, tabby tabaxi, and white tabaxi in one mod, along with 26 new hairstyles from the Corean race mod.

=============
== Details ==
=============

This mod adds the Tabaxi, a new playable race. Tabaxi are mischievous and deceitful, fun-loving cat-people, perhaps related in some way to Khajiit... perhaps not. They come in three variants: an orange color not too different from Khajiit, a tabby color, and a gray/white color.

Lore:
The origin of the strange race known as Tabaxi is unknown. Perhaps they are the result of magic gone wrong; perhaps the madness of the gods; or perhaps simple wicked fate. Regardless, these cat-people are known for stealth and mischief. They are quick and agile, yet strong, if not overly clever. They have a fascination for magic and magical things, especially of the sort that transmutes or deceives. Tabaxi have a strong dislike for Khajiits (and vice-versa) but are generally fond of Bretons and Bosmers.


==================
== Installation ==
==================

1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the Tabaxi Race 2.0.esp


Special installation for Exnem's Female Body Replacer (includes HGEC):
------------------------------------------------------
1. Install as above
2. Open the "Exnem Extra" folder included here
3. Copy the three folders from there to this folder: "Oblivion\Data\Textures\characters\" overwriting when prompted.

If you have an existing Tabaxi character, updating to this version will cause your save to not work. To use this mod, you need to start a new Tabaxi.

Also: download and install the patch file or you will have missing eyes.

====================
== Uninstallation ==
====================

1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod:

Tabaxi Race 2.0.esp
All of these folders:
\Data\Meshes\characters\tabaxi
\Data\Textures\characters\tabaxi
\Data\Textures\characters\whitetabaxi
\Data\Textures\characters\tabby
\Data\Textures\characters\eyes\tabaxi
\Data\Textures\characters\hair\tabaxi
\Data\Sounds\Voice\Oblivion.esm\tabaxi
