Name: 2 Xivilai CM Partners - Xahn and Zenayda

Description
===========
These are 2 of Alienslof's playable Xivilai - Xahn and Zenayda they are a custom race that I had to redo (from her original mod) so that the testing hall stayed intact (without falling through the floor) and to enable their
Xivilai voices (only hit and attack sounds will come from them and a few taunts here and there but the taunts are very rare - Once again these two will not have conversations with any NPC's). I have altered their size a bit as they are a little bit shorter than the original but still very tall.
I have also added two wigs from Alienslof's mod "It's a wig" to offer more variety. If you don't like any of the wigs then just use the awesome hair created especially for this race by throttlekitty. Just remove the wigs from their inventory.

These 2 partners are completely based off of 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.

****There is also an "extras" folder that Alienslof has provided so that you can customize these companions further ex. more tattoos and piercings. There are also textures for different body mods such as Exnem's Eye candy and Robert's male body so read Slof's readme for questions as I have also
included her readme file.****

Details
=======
1. Xahn is a Conjurer Class.
2. Zenayda is a Warrior Class.

These two were last seen in Leyawiin at the "Five Claws Lodge".
They are looking for a partner to travel and adventure with or even to stand guard at a home or castle. Use one or use them both if you wish.


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, sound, and the DAXivilai.esp to "Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data"

4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check mark beside DAXivilai.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.


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.

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

Thanks to Alienslof for all of her talents in bringing this incredible custom playable Xivilai race together along with every other person who has helped. Her textures are entirely hand-painted and really some of the best work I have every seen. I am so glad that she is part of this incredible Oblivion modding community. :)

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

Thanks to throttlekitty for making several new hairs, a new head, proper Xivilai horn meshes as well as making the kilt wearable. He also supplied some voices and made the wearable mad wild hair.

Thanks to Kikaimegami who has helped getting this clothing to work from the start. She has also made and rigged the collar and all the horns/piercings. Also playtested.

Thanks to Kafei for the use of her fabulous ear meshes with the earrings to give the Xivilai a certain amount of style.

Thanks to Xmarksthespot as he redid the mapping on the horn meshes which allowed Slof to make the textures asymmetrical.

Thanks to Scanti without his wonderful little Conformulator utility, a lot of this stuff could not have been done and this race wouldn't have been as good.

This race also uses the merged fangs he made and a merged mouth/tongue which freed up a head slot to use for the horns. He also recorded some of the voice files for the taunts.

Thanks to Eldroth - he made the voice files so that the Xivilai can sound like a proper one when he's hit. Also beta testing.

Thanks to Kirel got the custom voices up and running, including altering them slightly for the females. All-round huge help with this mod.

Thanks to SickleYield made the kilt mesh fit on the new Fantasy Figures body without clipping.

Thanks to Ren her odd-eye meshes has allowed AlienSlof to make odd-coloured eyes to add more variety to this race.

Thanks to ShadowJ and Madcat221 for their help in getting the attributes and skills well balanced and logical.

Thanks to Kivan who has thoroughly tested this and made sure any bugs are found, squashed and suggested fixes.

Thanks to Duke for help with stats and weapons.

Thanks to Bethesda for creating Oblivion.

Thanks to LHammonds for the Readme Generator this file was based on.

Thanks to Tesnexus for hosting this file.
