The catsuits are looking good and I like them. The black one, the black one with the corset and the {red,black} dragon ones are awesome!
I had to repackage it for Nexus mod manager on my local machine.
The steps to repackage are:
unpack using 7z, then there are two directories
pack any of them as a zip / 7z, whatever without containing the root directory in them, so you have an archive that looks like data/…. (do not up- or downcase!)
Open Nexus and click install from file system
Enable them
The reason why you need to do this is because Nexus Mod Manager does not know how to extract the self extracting archive. You can also bundle both contained mods into one install archive if you like by copying both directory contents to a shared directory first.
(I downloaded this mod to check and make sure the advice I give below is accurate...it is.)
For anyone wishing to install the catsuit that doesn't want to or can't run an .exe, you don't have to. The .exe file can be extracted with 7Zip just as though it were a standard archive.
Just right click on the .exe and choose "Extract files..." (to choose a specific location) or "Extract here" (to have the assets folder extracted to your current location) and a folder will be created with the textures, meshes and .esp. Then you can either copy/paste the files into your Data folder or create an archive to be installed with your favorite manager (select the folder that was created when you extracted the contents of the .exe, right click and select "Add to archive...", name it whatever you like and make your other choices then click "Okay").
If you don't have 7Zip, it is free and can be downloaded from here:

Yes this is an SFX archive. It contains two mods. One with the catsuits and one with armour. I repackaged it locally to zip files so nexus mod manager can install them.
i also say thankyou, it may be necroing this, but my first and only playthrough of oblivion had at the end this hot stuff as main-clothes for my char, this was back in 2006, yes 14years ago. i still lke it and still thank you for that piece of art, jbrowne.
Everyone is a critic and no one is a modder. After reading a few of these comments I feel I should say thanks for all of your hard work. Thanks for taking time out of your life to improve our games for no benefit to yourself. I would endorse but I already have in the past.
And thanks for the armored gloves I love so much from this mod. I can't remember their name... Eldarac's Gloves maybe? They are the ones without any fingers.

Alternately, you can run your own google search and come to similar solutions. Instead of complaining everything isn't to your specifications you should do the foot work and make things happen on your own.
Nope, sorry, you're wrong! Especially in this day and age of viruses, Trojans, key loggers, etc.!
Nor should it be an expectation on the end user to run it on a different O/S, or to download a special program just to extract the contents in a non-standard format. You can be critical of the package delivery without being critical of the contents of the package. No one is saying that they are not appreciative or grateful for the work, just for the illogical way in which it's delivered.
There is no valid reason to do this when the standard format is a compressed file (zip, rar, whatever). And there is no way that the mod author doesn't know that.
Exactly! How do we know that your not trying to send a virus? There is absolutely no reason to do this!
For users: Zip7 can extract the files by right-clicking the "exe" and selecting "Extract Files...", so you don't have to run a useless and questionable executable.
I can't open it because of bitchy picky ass Windows 7. There's sometimes files Windows 7 can't open because it's not compatible with it. I wish you put this in a Zip or Rar format. Such a fail mod, and such a fail Windows for me.
I'm on a different operating system than Windows, so I can't open a .exe file. Is there anywhere else I can download your mod's info that's compressed with a ZIP or RAR format? I used to have your mod a couple years ago and loved it. my oblivion isn't the same without it :p

* executable with archive so no packer is needed

Thank you for taking your time to make such a great mod.
