First off, either skeleton doesn't matter - What's saved in the nif file is mostly for determining what vertices are to be attached to the skeleton that is used. Also, I'm certain that Coronerra's Maximum Compatibility skeletons are exactly the same for both, which are kind of necessary for this mod.

Importing a clothing mesh is pretty simple for Oblivion, as there's only one thing you need to worry about in those options - The mesh-only or skeleton-only option. It's pretty much a two-step operation - Import skeleton.nif file first using skeleton-only, and then the body meshes and clothes using the mesh-only option, while having the skeleton selected in Object Mode.

As for exporting, again you don't have to do much for Oblivion - Make sure everything is parented to the Scene Root object (which would be the skeleton) and use the Oblivion export preset (the Oblivion button). That should take care of everything as all you're doing is readjusting an existing mesh.

Also, here's a few tips:

- Remove parts of the body not seen under the clothes to increase performance.
- Use the underwear versions of the bodies. Skyrim actually has parts of the default underwear visible on some clothes, so adding those in would work great. Also, they're a bit more realistic as the BBB have been reduced for those meshes. Feel free to make a low-resolution version of the underwear texture if you need to reduce the performance impact if you decide to try this decision out.

The original f-cup hgec mesh appears to be screwed up; discolored.

Yeah, I know. It's a simple naming fix - Change the name to Foot:Upperbody. Let me get a quick patch up.

Everytime I try to "wear" any of the body or underwear parts, the part in my character disappears. I have the Universal Skeleton Nif and EVE HGEC Body stock and clothing OMOD version, installed also.

Did you install the meshes correctly? All the meshes should be under meshes/clothes/ZKEC/ for them to appear properly.

if there was an extra queen size lower body i might consider converting and making armors and clothes for it.

other wise decently done. +1 to you ziitch and kudo for including hooves

[Someone92]

Can you mix both original and wide Upperbody with any Lowerbody or are there some restrictions?

Can someone help me? I don't have a meshes file under the oblivion data file. Do I need to create one?
