1.1

Previous Update Notes:

June 30 2009

**If using version one you WILL need to make a new character to use this file!

1. Adjusted lighting in both tents.  Getting lighting right isn't among my talents, but it looks better than before.

2. Pathing added inside tents and adjusted outside.

3. Companion dog script updated with sneak function as my other companions are getting.  Object that gave the summon spell removed.  Now the spell is added on first activating the dog, Lochru.

Healing Ability reduced and general stats lowered a little.  resist Magic 50% and Resist Poison 75% added.
This is because I've been finding certain poisons and some enchantments in some mods cause lasting damaging effects to companions, and since he is essential they can become permanent, so this should help.  Also, he's now a bit smaller.

4. Added a cat in each tent.  They can be activated to purr, but can't be interacted with otherwise.

5. Moved items around and added and removed some clutter.

Corrected horse mane and tail meshes for people not using Slof's Horses.
Added 8 hair styles from the idkrrr Sulhwa Moira Race
Short Layered Hair Style by kakashisensei2000
Added to Credit Section.


DESCRIPTION:
This race includes three face files from Lanell's Oblivion Makeup.  She kindly added a little something for me to make it more unique.  She will also be translating this mod into Russian.

Gypsies of the Moon arrived in Tamriel due to an unfortunate accident.  They are accomplished Healers and have a close bond with nature and it's creatures.  There are two books to read for a history of the Race.
One is in the Prison Cell where you start.  It's on the table so you can't miss it.  It's not essential so if you forget it it doesn't matter too much, but it might make it difficult to find the extra content.  You can't go back for it unless you do a certain quest for the Dark Brotherhood.

Another book is to be found in another location.  So you do actually need to read the first book to find that place. There is a map marker but you will have to walk there first OR travel to the nearby city.

Anyone who knows my mods will expect a pet or two.  So there are two. I'll leave it up to you to find what's necessary.  One is summonable, the other not.  

I found a lot of useful and interesting information at this website regarding Gypsies.  Obviously I had to cut a lot out, but I am planning to expand on this Race. I don't know yet what that will be.  This is just the initial version.

Due to the type of race I have made it will probably be a bit difficult to find clothing and armour that reflects the story if you wanted to role play a Gypsy, but there are some. My Gypsies love bright colours and elegant clothing.  They love to dance and are musicians and entertainers.  Just pretend the last bit...role play.

Some recommended clothing.  NOT a requirement at all.

and more...I haven't gotten around to searching for armour yet.

Great for dealing with that pesky neck line issue:

REQUIRED MODS:
Oblivion Version 1.2.0416.  This mod was created with SI installed, but no assets were used from the expansion.

Working Eyelashes by Throttlekitty and jclyde6108
http://tesnexus.com/...le.php?id=18185

One of the Custom Race Fixes is needed to get past the dialogue in the starting dungeon. Or the Unofficial Oblivion Patch also has the fix.

EVERYTHING else you need, except for the Working Eyelashes and Custom Race Fix as mentioned above, is included in this 7Zip file.  All female body Replacers supported.   There are no additional body textures.

This race uses Elaborate Eyes, but it will only effect the Gypsy.  You won't get the googly eye syndrome because I've included the Elaborate Eyes meshes in my folders.  

All storage is safe and will not respawn.

I mainly play mages with marksman and a little blade skill, but you can adjust skills to suit yourself in the CS.
There is a Lesser Power added called Animal Tamer.  It's basically Command Creature at a higher level to simulate creatures being tamed and liking you for a short time.  You don't have to use it so don't complain about it.

Gypsies also have 50% Resist Magic as an Ability like Bretons.

INSTALLATION:

Unpack the archive to a temporary folder.  Move the meshes and textures to your data folder along with the esp.  Say yes to any request to overwrite.

You may wish to make an OMOD of this archive.  There are a number of extra files besides the Race itself.

There is a fair amount of real lighting, rather than fake lights, but I have adjusted it as mentioned in the Update info.

EXTRAS FOLDER:
This contains 6 sets of earring meshes and 5 different textures.  There is an info file with instructions and a picture of Kafeis earring types to make choosing easier.  Default is gold and Set number 1.
The textures are by Spirited Treasure and team and use the human ear not Elven.

TIPS FOR CHARACTER CREATION:

When creating your character it is a good idea to Reset the face before making any adjustments, then move the complexion slider all the way from one side to the other and back to where you want it to be.  This allows the game to get the correct texture.  It works.

"You can make changes to the character while playing the game by going into the console (~) and type "showracemenu" without the quotes.
Once you're happy with the changes, DO NOT click on the DONE button, instead, hit the ESC key to bring up the game menu and save the game. Then load the save game. This is the safe way to exit the console without messing up your character's stats."

UNINSTALLATION:

Remove all files associated with this mod. However it's likely some of them will already be in use.  For example Slof's Dogs and Horses.
Check my folders for that information.
Either remove the eyelashes mod or leave it intact if you use it for other characters.
