If in the player's inventory, the option to cut or texture hair appears in dialogue ([RUN] or [BLOCK] + Activate companion to access dialogue window).

Optional Mods for Hair Styles
If Romance Air.esm detects that the meshes and textures from these mods are present, it automatically adds them to the selection of possible hairstyles. The ESPs from these mods need not be active.

CCC http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/24077
Cazy http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/40412
SKS

Grave Digging
Having a shovel now lets you unearth any grave you come across. These graves will contain organs you can harvest and the skull of the character who was buried there. Be careful for grave robbing is a crime, and you must avoid being detected. Furthermore the spirits of the dead don't appreciate being robbed.

Crime
The influence of the Mages Guild has made laws against the public practice of necromancy enforced more strictly. If caught practicing necromancy in public, the player will be given a bounty and sent to jail.
Your followers will be hunted down by the Imperial Guards. Those that escape will go into hiding and meet you again once you are released. Those that are caught will be killed and left to rot in the undercroft (basement) of the nearest chapel. Once released you must find your slain companions and necromancy items there.

Menus
  • Press Tab, Backspace, or Right-Click to quickly exit any Menu in this mod.
  • Pressing V while in the Change Hair Menu will select a random hair. If pressed when choosing an alphabetical collection, a random hair from every hair available at that length will be chosen. 
  • If V is pressed while choosing a hair within a collection, a random hair from within that collection will be chosen. Thus the player can specifically choose a collection for hairs in the C category and press V to choose a random Cool or Cazy Hairstyle.
  • Activating a companion or grave displays the stats of the subject in the console. Equip your followers accordingly.

The Dark Registry
A new relic has the mysterious ability to reunite the player with lost followers. Can be seen near the Imperial Sewers Exit by Vilverin when the player first escaped prison. When activated the player will be presented with two options:
  • Inquire: Displays the status of all followers in the console
  • Rescue: Allows the player to retrieve a companion by typing its index number. If you are unsure, the name of the companion associated with an index will appear in the console as you type it. Typing "all" (case insensitive) will return all companions.

Cleaning Functions
Use these functions to delete specific followers (REVDelete), or every registry in the game (REVClean) for a fresh start.

  • REVDelete: Hold P and [RUN] (usually SHIFT by default), and the player will be prompted to enter the index (numeric value assigned to each companion) of the follower to delete. If unsure which companion is assigned to an index, upon typing the index Press ~ to open the console and the name of the associated follower will be displayed. Press ~ again to exit the console and return to typing an index. When finished Press Enter.
  • REVClean: Another available option is to clean every registry in the game. Press ~ and type: StartQuest REVClean. After which please don't exit the console by pressing ~ until the process finishes. This function will delete all companions from the list, stored skulls and other registries for a fresh start. The characters the player unearthed will return to their graves. Living NPCs the player killed in the game will not return automatically unless they respawn (Bandits, Guards). To regain non-respawning lost characters such as Skjorta, find their REFID on uesp.net and type "REFID".resurrect (with Quotations) in the console. The character will become available again as a potential companion.

Potential Issues
The Oscuro Oblivion Overhaul changes any coffins that are also containers (i.e. chests). As a result, you won't be able to pick up any these container coffins. However, static coffins (ones that can't be opened for items) will still work just fine.
