Name: Kitsune Foxgirl Race
Recommended: Oblivion Mod Manager
Author(s): KitsuneMitsukai

New Ears
===========
Someone requested slightly bigger ears, and I figured, while I was at it, I would include some of ANB's ear meshes that look fox-like. The new meshes are compatible with all versions of the mod and the optional ear texture. Refer to the screenshot to see if you'd like to have any.

Description
===========
Kitsune are a new race of beautiful fox-eared and fox-tailed girls. They have strong magical powers.


Details
=======
These Cyrodillic foxes have gained incredible magical powers over the course of their lives. Their most notable skill is the ability to transform into a beautiful woman. Granted, this transformation is not perfect, as their foxy ears and tail still remain. Males look funny because of the face textures, but should still work. If you would like this mod to be a little more lore-friendly, I have included a download with Mr. Siika's amazing foxes. They are set as skittish creatures, but are friendly to and won't run away from the player. I'm assuming you're playing this race, which means you *are* one of them, after all. You can use the extra .esp while playing as other races, if you don't mind the foxes being friendly to you for no reason.

Upgrade
=======
Kitsune Cosmetic Patch

This is a patch which adds Soya hair, Human hair, and TreetopSmoker's two-toned Ren and Human hairs. It also adds new eyes, including glowing versions of Nequam's cat eyes, Capucine's eyes (glowing and non-glowing), and Wolfess's photo-realistic eyes.

Please note, you do NOT need to download this. This just adds many choices to make a character that's perfect for you. If you don't feel like scrolling through the 60-something hair options and 70-something eye options, stick with the original .esp.

Cosmetic patch update!
========================
The cosmetic pack has been newly updated with Coolsims hair, Pr-tty Cure hair, and VanillaBean hair. I am taking the old version down. If you wish to have the new hairs, please download the new cosmetic patch in its entirety. To see which hairs have been added, refer to the newest screenshot.


Save game
=========
I have uploaded a generic save of a Kitsune character at the end of the sewers. Her hair color is as close as I could get to the tail color, although I'm sure it can be gotten even closer for those that have the time.

Copy this file into wherever your savegames are located. For example, C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves

The save count is very high, I apologize. I make new characters all the time. Ignore the message "This save relies on content no longer present", the save should work.

Incompatibility
===============
The Kitsune race, including cosmetic update, should be compatible with everything, including all body mods (it uses whatever you have installed for your Imperials). All meshes and textures are contained within their own folders, so cosmetic mods should not conflict.

The KitsuneWildFoxes addon, however, edits the vanilla leveled lists. If you use any mod that messes with vanilla leveled lists, (MMM, Fran's, etc.) this mod will not work.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
The tail, as well as certain long hairs, will clip in some positions. For example, you can't see your tail when you ride a horse. This is 100% harmless, so don't worry about it.

If you have any race overhaul mods, load them AFTER this mod. I'm not sure why, but this mod interferes with the Argonian race.

Credits
=======
This section will be long, but I relied heavily upon the mods of others for this. Please take the time to read, and check out their mods/give kudos!

Thanks to firstly, and mostly, Lanell, for her absolutely amazing Lycan race. I used her Lycans as a base to model the Kitsune on. This race would be much less pretty if I hadn't been given permission to use her textures. I also used her amazing Oblivion Make-Up resource. If you're good with the CS, be sure to check it out.

Thanks to MrBob for the gorgeous Lilmothiit ear and tail textures. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to make this race.

Thanks to Aridale for his cute Lattamer Catgirls. I used one of the ear meshes for the Kitsune.

Thanks to Treetop Smoker for his very chic two-toned hairstyles. I've always wanted to make a race that uses them for people who can't place them with the CS.

Thanks to Soya for Soya hair.

Thanks to kakashisensei2000 for Fixed Soya Hair

Thanks to Wolfess for her photo-realistic eyes.

Thanks to Capucine for her character expansion (I used her eyes).

Thanks to Anto for Coolsims hair, and Lucha for converting it for Oblivion use.

Thanks to VanillaBean for VB hair.

Thanks to Pr-tty Cure for Pr-tty Cure hair.
