TGND-2.1B Vanilla Armor Patch v1.0.4
Original by Luchaire and Kalia, patch by Manks


========= SUMMARY ==========

Fixes a few issues in the vanilla armor for The Girl Next Door Oblivion female body mod as well as a few modifications. Also increases compatibility with unofficial patches. Requires TGND Female Body and Clothing Replacer (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=30914).


======= REQUIREMENTS =======

The Girl Next Door Female Body and Clothing Replacer, version 2.1 beta:
http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=30914

http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=31156


======= INSTALLATION =======

For all methods of installation, the patch must be installed (in a practical sense) *after* TGND-2.1 beta, or else this archive's files will be overwritten.

BAIN
----------------------------

1. Drop the release archive into your BASH Installers Folder.

2. In Wrye Bash, installers tab, make sure that the patch is listed after TGND original.

3. Make sure that the sub-package "0 Core" is checked.

4. If you want to install the less-skin/more practical versions of the iron greaves and chainmail cuirass, check the relevant box.

5. Right click on the archive and select "Install".

6. (Optional) Run BOSS, or adjust the load order manually. Load after any Unofficial Patches.

7. (Optional) Rebuild your bashed patch.


OMOD
----------------------------

I don't use OBMM, so while the mod has OMOD conversion data available, I can't say exactly how it will work. Presumably, install like any other OMOD-ready mod.


MANUAL
----------------------------

1. Back up the folders:
oblivion/data/meshes/armor
oblivion/data/meshes/clothes

2. Drop the contents of the archive's folder "0 Core" directly into your oblivion/data folder.

3. If you want the less-skin/more practical versions of the iron greaves and chainmail cuirass, drop the contents of that folder into oblivion/data.

4. Sort and activate the esps.

=== DETAILED DESCRIPTION ===

Fixes a wide variety of "bugs" in the stock armor that comes with The Girl Next Door, and occasionally editorializes with some new content. Most of the fixes started out as tweak vertex weights to eliminate clipping, mostly with skirts, loincloths, and dresses. For a few armors, I've move the backside up and in. A few others got smaller hips.

The package now also includes a pair of "less skin" armors, namely the iron greaves and chainmail cuirass. So as to not take undue credit, the iron greaves are actually just Luchaire's TGND original, which I've supplemented with a vanilla-style set.

Side notes:
All meshes have been optimized with PyFFI-py3k 2.2.0
The esps should be clean
If you see any vanilla meshes that need more love, let me know and I'll see what I can do
