===============================================
REQUIREMENTS:
===============================================
Oblivion (of course!)
A male character or male companions!
Robert's Seamless Male Body: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=8422
Made with CS v1.2

===============================================
ABOUT THIS MOD:
===============================================

Again, this is designed for men only, although hats and shoes will work on females. I particularly like to play magic-using characters and as such I'm not armour's biggest fan - I like my wizards to be elaborate and flamboyant too. The clothes can be bought from Divine Elegance in the Market District of the Imperial City. I haven't added any enchantments as I figured people would want to add their own. Palonirya's stock is contained in a unique chest and should respawn - it shouldn't be incompatible with any other mods that use her shop.

Don't ask me if I will make this for females, as the answer is no.

I made this primarily for my Basil character, but it was really more of an experiment than anything else, just to see what was possible with different mesh combinations, glow maps and alpha channels. The result was these freaky clothes! Hey, they're magical, right?! Because of the way the alphas and glows work, it gives the stars the appearance of twinkling, an effect I simply cannot capture in screenshots.

This stuff won't be to everyone's taste. I know it is impossible to please everyone all of the time and so I don't try to; instead, I please myself. The ideas came about in a dream I had, and I saw the chance to take up a challenge. Many of my mods are personal experiments as I push the boundaries of my skills, some of which yield results. I like making things that offer me a challenge, and the more elaborate and freaky, the better!

Inspired by items in the Magic Item Compendium Supplement for Dungeons & Dragons.

===============================================
INSTALLATION:
===============================================
This mod should consist of:
Slof's Stuff For Wizards.txt
Slof's Stuff For Wizards.esp
Meshes folder
Textures folder

Just drag all these (minus the readme) onto the data folder in your Oblivion directory and they will go where they are meant to. Keep folders as they are nested.

For those new to installing mods, I recommend reading this: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=550589 - It will save me having to answer the same questions over and over again. It's not difficult, just takes a little practice!

===============================================
KNOWN ISSUES OR BUGS:
===============================================
None that I've found. If there are any bugs, let me know so I can fix them. Feedback and suggestions welcome, as I'm still learning this stuff!

This is made for Robert's seamless male body mod. It will likely not work properly with any other male body and will display texture strangeness.

The hat and hat/cloak use the tail slot. This means beast races will lose their tails and NPC's won't equip them. By doing it this way, it means the hat doesn't remove the hair, but instead, sits on top of it. This might result in some small amount of clipping with fluffy hairstyles.

===============================================
INCOMPATIBILITIES & SAVED GAME WARNINGS:
===============================================
Adds all new items, so conflicts should be absent. Always make sure that you back up your existing savegame file before use.
Made to use Robert's seamless male body, so skin textures may look rather odd if used with any other. Most items have been made to fit the muscular body type, as that's the one I prefer.

===============================================
CREDITS & PERMISSIONS:
===============================================

The meshes were cobbled together by me and are a mix of several people's work:

Robert:- shirt, pants
PhoenixAmon:- gloves
TuskanRed: hat
Loth deBonneville: chain bracelet
Sshodan: bracelet and head jewellery
KafeiD: multi rings
Knux Econa: separate belt
Someone1074: cloak
Bethesda: shoes
Fiok: thanks for bug hunting this - I missed so much stuff!

Special thanks to XMarksTheSpot for rerigging and altering the hat and remapping the cloak for me. You rock!

Thanks too to the creators of NifSkope - one of the most useful and versatile little programs ever. I could not have made this stuff without it.

I don't really mind if any of this is used for or in other mods, but it's nice to be asked (I rarely say no!), and please give credit to me where it is due. Also be certain to credit the mesh makers accordingly if any of their work is used. Make sure to change any filenames and ID's to avoid accidental overwrites. Please ask me before uploading it anywhere so I can make sure the correct version is used and not an out of date one.

Regarding translations: I rarely say no when asked if my work can be translated into other languages. This gives the mod a wider audience, and as such is a good thing.
