It goes away. When you hit TAB, your character still glows in the menu. No glowing in the actual world, ergo why most people just carry on -- but it really bothers me. It looks like the permanent version of this glitch is xbox-only, now, and that there is a fairly simple fix for the PC, but I'm still a little wary.

I first ran into this issue with no mods at all. As far as I'm aware, everyone can run into it, and it's a widespread bug -- is that not the case? There are several forum threads (on other forums) about its existence, and apparently most people just keep playing through it, or it wears off after a while. I'm wondering if there's a fix out there I've missed, and what the state of it is? I have not experienced it myself since before 2009, because I have not used that spell since before 2009 in order to avoid it.

Right. 20 days long enough for a bump? :) Terribly sorry if it's not -- I'll give up on the matter if no one responds this time, promise. EDIT: Eek! It has not been nearly so long as I thought it had been. Sorry. Just. Still really curious about this matter, still can't find much information.

Okay. Thank you very much. :D I think I'll simplify my idea for the moment, work on my scripting, and try this out. We are IN PROGRESS, baby. I have a few ideas - Fore, you have been extremely helpful, and Drake, you've given me an idea that's got me started properly. Thank you both. It'll end up a little different than my original idea, but I have a good idea of what I want to do, now. @BlackBaron2, I've seen spells like that. I don't think it's quite doing the same thing I'm going to end up needing to do. I want it to affect dead NPCs and the player character, mostly -- no one else in my game really runs around naked... Unless they're a nord. I'll probably have it equip an unequippable item with a script of some sort? Or, well. Actually, I'll still look into that Set Body command just in case I'm being obtuse, thank you. :)

Hmm. Yeah, I had this in mind for looted enemies and player characters (I, at least, don't often run into nude NPCs). Only modding looted NPCs wouldn't be as exciting as my original idea, but it is the largest part of what I had in mind. =D I thankfully have a reasonable idea of what you're saying here, too. Any more advice would always be appreciated, though. Then I'd just need to figure out how to replace all undies in the game, for my player character -- still having trouble finding a body-mod-related guide on the CS wiki. I probably just have to set up a .NIF and replace my current files with it, though, I think. Then just make it modular with OBMM, for rapid mind-changing. =D

@ BarefootWarrior: Well, I'm not planning on doing any texturing or meshing myself, but I've found at least one free-for-reuse underwear-type outfit that would suit each different race (or group of races), and a few extras for people to choose between, once I go and figure out how to script OMODs. And, well, I can also retexture, yes, so there might be a few new recolors. :) I know that the various body mod makers all include underwear versions. So I just need to figure out how to change the underwear, period, and then if it's possible to make the underwear unique for each race. --- @Fore: Ooh! Hmm. Well... even if it's not easy, if the instructions are thorough enough, I should be able to manage it. We'll see. =D Thank you. edit: "Until a way is figured out to change Oblivion from pointing to the body meshes (over in the _male folder), having unique body meshes appears to be impossible." -- That mod's creator. However, it looks like it may be possible with scripts? Or something similar, at any rate. If anyone has any idea how, I am willing to try my hand at anything. :) (Now that I think of it, the creator of the Argonian Beautification mod had some sort of script to make an interesting foot mesh apply to all argonians, didn't they?)

Underwear is basically clothing that all characters wear by default until different clothing is put over it, yes? I'm wondering if I can make it vary by character race -- bloomers for some and moderately fancy-looking shifts for others (altmer), for instance (and if I could manage an OMOD script to let people choose what goes on who, that would be even better). I'm planning to tailor it to my favorite body mod, which has conversions for all the clothing I want to use, and I know how to ask permission before posting it up anywhere. :) Is there a guide somewhere on making underwear? Or just a body mod-making guide, which certainly would include such instructions? I'm having trouble figuring out what search terms I should use. And is it even possible for the underwear to vary by character race?

Okay. Thanks, everyone! =D @Deadlykris: I love your sig. So much. Now I have awesome Skyrim music stuck in my head again. <3

Okay. :) Thank you! edit: It says "This form is to be used ONLY for reporting objectionable content and is not to be used as a method of communicating with moderators for other reasons." Are you sure that's where I should be asking for threads to be moved, or...?

So, I asked a question on the General Oblivion discussion forum, and I've realized that I probably should have posted it in the Troubleshooting forum, as it is a question about a bug (it's here). Should I repost a shortened version of the question on the troubleshooting forum, now that five days have gone by and I clearly barked up the wrong tree, or is there a way for me to move it over and then just edit it? I'd normally just leave it, but I think it's that the people who would know don't frequent that side of the forums, not necessarily that no one knows. Also: All swearing/inappropriate language is generally prohibited, yes? So for most general forums, I should try to talk as though a 12-year-old could see it? Is there any way for me to delete my posts in cases of accidental double-posting?

Right. I love the Elder Scrolls games to bits, but I understand money is an issue with game-buying (well, it is for me, anyways). If you can afford it, I would indeed suggest the PC versions of both Morrowind and Oblivion -- I've gotten six years out of Oblivion, with mods. Morrowind is hard to play on the xbox, for me, but it's a beautiful game if you're willing to sit tight and humor it. That said -- Oblivion is definitely worth it, if you have the spare cash, but you might want to wait for Skyrim anyways. The most recent game is always (well, normally) the most impressive, and therefore the best way to get into or back into the series -- if you think that Oblivion's occasionally repetitive and ugly main plot, or the old engine, etc. might bug you, wait for Skyrim, then get into Oblivion later if you're still interested, when it's cheap. :) The Morrowind community is still somewhat active to this day -- Oblivion will still have some life in it for a few more years. Oblivion's graphics are still solid, even after six years (moreso with mods, which are plentiful). You can completely avoid the main plot -- which I advise, actually. It's worth one or two runs through, for the amazing voice acting and some particularly astonishing zones, but the main plot is hella blah for the most part. The world is huge, though (especially if you don't fast travel), the sidequests are humorous, and the guild quests are absolutely golden (each is almost as long as the main plot, and far more interesting - and again, there are mods to extend most if not all of them). I will complain that I want moar sidequests, but that's probably because I've played through the game at least 30 times. Cost/benefit. If you have money to kill, and you want something to do for three months (or you think you'll love Oblivion as much as we do), then go for it. If you want a new game full of fresh ideas, though, Skyrim is worth the wait.

Have you guys seen how the Charr will move in Guild Wars 2? That would be an awesome lycanthrope animation style. Humanoid, but moves on all fours. I'm not too concerned about whether we'll have them or not. It'd be cool if we did, but like with vampires in most games, unless there's a questline attached I will probably only try it out a few times. I mostly prefer normal characters. Then again, I did roll a lot of werewolves in the Sims -- if they look decent, and they can go out in the sun... edit: That Castlevania image is bloody amazing. Yes please.

Ohh, pack mule spousies. Skyrim, I will love you so much. XD And fft, I wasn't worried about if they had or hadn't included gay marriage -- mods, baby. <3 I love that every RPG series I have ever played except Gothic has gay marriage, now, though. (Although. Does the Dragon Age series technically have gay marriage, or do you just live in sexy sexy sin?)

Mehh. It depends on how the game plays. I'm a huge fan of realistic/immersion mods for Oblivion, so if there's no eating option in default Skyrim, I will go for mods like that, and probably mods that make the game more challenging in various other ways as well. Also, if they don't have a suitably butch orc wifey, my first order of business will be to mod one up. Possibly just to hear the BBB fans whine about how sick I am. Otherwise, though? I'm happy with the visual direction, the mechanics look solid so far, etc. No possible complaints as yet.

Honestly, I think this is a good idea. I'm a bit middle-of-the-road on this -- I don't mind some pretty nudity in my games, but on the other hand, I don't play video games to get sexually aroused. Not Oblivion, anyways, Lmao. It sounds like Fallout has even more of this sort of stuff than Oblivion, so if what you're saying is true, then that would definitely be a solution -- I don't think anyone would disagree that assless chaps are "sexual" in nature. :) Even just leaving it completely up to the individual modder would still catch enough of the content under that heading that you wouldn't be inundated with it, and people who want to be inundated with it can choose to be so. My only concern is the practical side -- how easy it is for the site to implement something like this. Some sites get tetchy about having too many categories, which is understandable. edit: ... Actually, an option in Advanced Search to turn off adult content for that specific search would cover it. There's an option for only adult content -- just add one for none, so Clothing can be specifically searched for under that heading.
