Khajiit as You Like Them

Iliana's Khajiit races from Elsweyr - Deserts of Anequina have unfortunately been left behind in the dust sand for a few years. I hope that I've done them justice and brought them up to par with the standards we expect when using mods such as OCOv2 or HGEC.

Description

This mod is intended as a patch, but contains a bit more and does the following:

• Adds converted Elsweyr: DoA armors and clothes meshes that are fit for HGEC female bodies.
• Changes the facial attributes of EDOA Khajiit races to match the OCOv2 preset.
• Integrates the whiskers of Seamless: Khats & Args to EDOA Khajiit races. 
• Integrates the scripted Khajiit Paws as Ability by Semtex to EDOA Khajiit races for Robert's or HGEC female bodies.
• Provides all of the above in a modular format so you can pick and choose.
  

Known Issues

Only one that is isolated to my work. I was unable to convert the gloves of the mermaid armor to HGEC. As a result, when they are worn independently, they will produce noticeable clipping with HGEC bodies. I just couldn't get this mesh to open correctly in nifskope or blender, it would either crash the program or be missing half of its content. If anyone knows how to address this, please let me know.
Some textures may produce noticeable seams, particularly around the wrists of Cathay Khajiit, but this is not due to my mod. This is from textures in Xtudo's HGEC patch.

Accreditation

Iliana for Elsweyr Deserts of Anequina.

Please support & endorse the original mod authors.

Permissions

So, this is probably going to be the most touch and go mod I release, but I've decided to do so due to the following circumstances:

• The primary mod authors which I derive assets from are no longer active on nexusmods and I'm unable to contact them otherwise.
  
  • The creator of E:DOA, Iliana, has deactivated her profile.
  • The original creator of the armors and clothes, trollf, hasn't been active in five years, however trollf's mods clearly state in their descriptions that they are free for use as resources.
  • Permission has been granted by Semtex to release the modified script.
    
• On the comments of E:DOA, Iliana stated she had no interest in providing HGEC variants of the armor and clothes unless someone offered to supply them. I can't exactly ask if she'd like to use mine, but I'm assuming that role as nothing else seems to be available and this seems to imply that she would have appreciated the addition.
  

That said, I clearly in no way take credit for any of the assets displayed when this mod is in working order. All I did was patch things together so that they would work in tandem correctly and made trollf's meshes fit to HGEC bodies. The modules of this mod were created with dependencies to force users to still download and install the mods of the original authors (endorse them, too!). Without the original mods, you will experience problems depending on which module you make use of, be that missing masters or missing texture/mesh problems.
If, however, any author of content that has been touched by my work wishes for it to not be included or changed, I will do my best to accommodate their wishes, provided I myself am still active on the nexus. I've done my best to respect the original wishes of the mod authors as far as I could find them.
I release no permissions to edit the original content this mod relies upon. Whatever permissions are available for the content my mod relies on, applies to whatever work is contained within this mod.

Installation

Requirements:
*Elsweyr: Deserts of Anequina (duh)
Optional Requirements (varies per module):
*For Elsweyr Faces Module

- OCO - Elsweyr Deserts of Anequina Patch / Required to remove double jaw bug.
- Seamless - Khats and Args / Only required if using whiskers plugin.

Suggested Installation Process:
*Install the requirements. Start with E:DOA, OCOv2, the body replacers & seamless mods by junkacc.
- Seamless Khats & Args by junkacc are necessary for the vanilla Khajiits shown in the images and to use the whiskers modules.
*Install the OCO - EDOA Patch to remove the double jaw bug (ignore the description header that says it's out of date. It works fine).
*Install the EDOA Races Patch for HGEC and RobertM bodies for textures that will map correctly with your body replacers.
- If you don't use HGEC or Robert's Males, you will need to find other textures that will map properly.
*Install Khajiit Paws as Ability for the meshes necessary to use the Elsweyr Paws module.
Do not use the plugin from Khajiit Paws as Ability with Elsweyr Paws plugin, only one is required.
*Ensure that you have all of the above installed correctly, then begin installing this mod based on your choices.
- I'm not providing support for installing the requirements. I'm not taking on support for eight mods that have clear instructions.
