Well here it is, not much of a talker / writer but chances are you may not read this :)
Anyways.....Here it is. My Fox Race in living breathing on your screen action. Blah blah,
generic stuff, you know. Anyways hope anyone trying it out likes it. Please comment.

This mod is obviously not lore friendly, but if you cared you would not have downloaded it.
If your the kind that wants lore....

The Matera are a long lived ancient race that not till now decided to grace themselves
to the denizens of Skyrim. After all...they do love their dark. A new form of lycanthropy
blazed about in the dark caverns way below the Skyrim lands, even further than the Blackreach.
Here is where the Matera came to be, as it so happens the Matera were not always foxes. They were
Actually a mutanized form of Khajiit till the Lycanthropy genes spliced them into change, as they
practiced around with magical remedies to cure them of the disease. Slowly they began to turn
into the current known Matera and slowly they have attempted to come out of thier hiding
places below.

........Not EXACTLY entirely lore friendly but meh. Hope it helps.

=========================================================================

Race: Matera (duh, that's what the mod says) Straight from the creation kit

MaTera's are notorious for their ability to stalk in the dark. They prefer to keep to the
silent shadows. While preferring to stick to thievery and notorious antics it is not uncommon to find a
few MaTeras that tend to prefer the magical life over the shadows...very few.

Just drag/drop the folder labeled Data.....

Installation: (Default) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim
Also can be: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim

If asked to overwrite it should be OK. I used the most current version of everything (racial compatibility and all that jazz) Just hit yes to all.

or wherever your Install folder is....your on your own there if it's custom....

Uninstall: Go to your Skyrim install folder you went to above

Planned:
-Update the textures, not sure how much better I can get them but I'll keep trying,
it is my first mod after all.
-Regular updates of problems as I or a fellow player come across them. Again be nice,
it is my very first mod and frankly, go be mean somewhere else :). I won't
listen. You can be mad, just don't be rude is all I ask. Yes, they ARE different.

To all the respect of any authors I may have missed. Let me know please! :) Much Appreciate. If you recognize anything I might of missed please inform me!
If I forgot you, it wasn't on purpose. Anxiety tends to get in the way of some things.

=========================================================================

Note: I am not opposed to the idea but I use CBBE. If anyone else wants to use a different body type,
let me know and I will see what I can do. I'm up for challenges. I just ask one favor, don't
be dissapointed if I can't, Or they are bad at first. I want to help as many as possible
within my limits cause I have life duties as well. Also I used the male body mentioned above. It
is strictly in it's own folders so it should NOT overwrite any other mods.

Any Constructive Complaints or Comments: Message charismoon @ Nexus ----
All other complaints I will ignore, so do not be surprised....
Known Issues:
Triangle on the hip � annoying little bugger isn't it? (Female)
No special vampire eyes or....anything (more Tweaking!)
Tail Normal needs redone (Satisfied for now)
Male Tail Floats out a bit from body (has a mind of it's own I tell you!)
Tail seems to have a mind again - when dismounting horse (Postponed)

Useful Mods: Optimizer Textures by AdPipino - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12801 - Basically it can resize ALL the textures
for Skyrim + mods. Works very well if your like me and have a semi - dying graphics card that hates high textures (which is why
I don't do them in MaTera). If anyone else wants to make a high resolution version. Be my geust :)
