About this mod

Adds a custom-made, playable Chimer race.

Background
Ever since I played Hallgarth's (now deleted :'( ) 'Velothi - the true Chimer' mod for Skyrim, I wanted to have something similar for Oblivion. Sadly, I didn't like the available Chimer mods on the Nexus, so I've decided to make one to my own tastes, based on OCO.

Description
This mod adds a new OCO-based race called "Velothi". It uses a slightly darker OCO Altmer/ Aureal skin retexture (non-replacer). Eye-colours are the OCO Altmer gold, green, and yellow, and the Bosmer *black. Attributes, skills, and height are the same as those of the Dunmer.

What's new?
I was not fully satisfied with the old racial abilities (elemental resistance and summonable ancestor's ghost), so I've changed them to be more unique. The new abilities are as follows:

Chimer Ambition
  • Fortify attribute: Strength - 10p
  • Fortify Magicka - 10p
  • Resist Normal Weapons - 5p
Channel Magicka
  • Drain attribute: Willpower - 50p for 60sec
  • Fortify attribute: Intelligence - 50p for 60sec
  • Fortify Magicka - 20p for 60sec
  • Weakness to Magic - 100p for 60sec

Additionally, I edited the race's description slightly.

Requirements

While I initially thought that HGEC was required, someone in the comments said that the respective files weren't included in the mod (I only know so much modding, sorry), but theoretically, the textures should work with any body-mod. Just know that they're based off the vanilla Altmer\ Aureal textures.

Credits

  • nuska for OCO;
  • Bethesda and associates for The Elder Scrolls universe in general, and Oblivion in particular;
  • Hellgarth for his 'Velothi' Skyrim mod that served as inspiration;
  • Myself for making this;
  • v13kobold on the UESP discord for helping with the new abilities.

*I figured that the black eyes would be kinda lore-friendly since the Chimer npcs in ESO originally had black eyes.
