Maigrets Gothic Breton Race Version 2 for Exnem/HGEC RM RF UFF
UPDATES: 16th Sept 2010
Added esps for Nehrim if you would like to use this race and are playing the mod. All you need do is install the meshes and textures as normal into the Nehrim data folder and use one of these esps according to the body replacer you use. I've renamed them to Nehrim MGothic Breton Race to avoid any confusion.
You're going to need at least OBMM (manual version, not the exe.) If OBMM doesn't work copy the default ini from the Oblivion root directory to the Nehrim directory. Nehrim doesn't access this file, but OBMM will want it. Create a new shortcut for the Nehrim version.
You will also need the body meshes installed for the body replacer you use, whether it's HGEC, UFF or Robert's Male and Female. The two most recent screen shots show the race in Nehrim wearing the leather armour.
Credit goes to Beana for remastering the original esps.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a lite version of SavageArtistry's Gothic Breton race which is found in her mod Modified Hair and Eyes on this forum.

Make sure you have read this Readme before asking questions that are answered here.....OK? Any issues or other problems will only be addressed at the forums where this file is added. Not by email or PM. However, if I have made a mistake I will happily fix it.

Version:
Two
CHANGES from version one:
This is version 2 of my version of Gothic Breton.
List of changes:
1. Now uses Elaborate Eyes with a large selection of eyes. There will be NO issues with "googly" eyes as the EE meshes are in my folders. If you have problems it's NOT this mod.
2. Two male face textures. One clean shaven and one with stubble. Both have a scar over the left eye. However if you wish to use the other available texture options you'll need to download Modified Hair and Eyes Full or the Update and rename and replace as required. NOTE: Males are set up as two separate races with their own hair selection as well. You won't see the female hair in Character Gen for the guys.
3. The eyelashes are now included so no there's no extra requirements. Same selection for females and males. See original Readme.
4. I've left out the earrings this time. There are several mods around now that have nice earrings to be used in game without having to change files and folders around.
5. Which comes to the next point. The folder structure has changed which is one reason it's not compatible with version one.
6. A lot of extra hair added. See additional credits.
7. In the OPTIONS folder you'll find the Robert's Female and UFF textures and esps, plus instructions. There is also a face texture for the original female face. Just replace it. It's named the same so will work.
8. The summoned Spriggan, Avalon, is now a little smaller and levels with the player. This time I have not supplied esps without the summon so if you don't like it, don't use it. There is also the Companion Heal spell which I haven't altered from the original. Either use it or not.
9. That's all I can think of at the moment.
DETAILS:
Everything you need, including the Eyelashes is included in this file. Default esp is Exnem/HGEC since it's what I use. Robert's Female and UFF textures included in the OPTIONS Folder with instructions. As stated above there is no esp included without the summoned Spriggan.
STATS:
Basic attributes Female: as for the Vanilla Breton
Strength: 30
Intelligence: 50
Willpower: 50
Agility: 30
Speed: 40
Endurance: 30
Luck: 50
Personality: 40
Skill Bonus:
Blade: 10
Alteration: 10
Conjuration: 10
Illusion: 10
Marksman: 10
Restoration: 10
I've included Blade and Marksman because I use characters with weapon and magic skills. Male stats are the same as the originals but they have the Blade and marksman added as well.
The Racial Spells are the same except I have added a Companion Heal Spell as a Lesser Power and the Summonable Spriggan called Avalon. The summoning lasts for 120 seconds and she has the normal creature stats besides the changes listed at the start of this Readme.
REQUIRED MODS:
Oblivion Version 1.2.0416 This mod was created with SI installed, but no assets were used from the expansion.
One of the Custom Race Fixes is needed to get past the dialogue in the starting dungeon. Or preferably the Unofficial Oblivion Patch which includes a race fix.
How to INSTALL:
Unpack the archive to a temporary folder anywhere on your hard drive. Check the folder structure if necessary, then move the meshes and textures folders plus the esp to your data folder. Say yes to any request to overwrite.
If using a female body replacer other than Exnem/HGEC look in the OPTIONS folder and follow the instructions inside. Male textures are installed with the main files.
MAKING CHANGES TO A CHARACTER IN GAME:
"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, press the ESC key to bring up the game menu and save the game. Then load that save game from the game Menu. This is the safe way to exit the console without messing up your character's stats."
When creating your character it is also 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 and also helps eliminate the neck seam.
However, these textures don't require it. They match perfectly without a neck seam, although the males will sometimes have a seam.
UNINSTALL:
Remove folder MGothicBreton from data\meshes\characters
Remove folder MGothicBreton from data\textures\characters
Remove folder Flonne from data\textures\characters - this is the EE version of Flonne's eyes and has a different file path than her other eyes.
Remove the esp.
