Because there's a little seam on the arm that I can't seem to get rid of. Other than that, it's fine, but it's not up to my Nexus release standard. If you don't mind the arm seam, you can get it here.

If you want to use the chain version, it'll work with HGEC because no skin is showing. Otherwise, it's very easy to assign the silver textures to the HGEC version with Nifskope. That particular silver texture is only in my version, but really all I did was desaturate the original textures in Photoshop and scribble some parts with a purple brush.

Looks like Shell of the Artifice. Specifically, my UFF version. AurianaValoria1: I like to use cgtextures.com for stock texture resources. The best thing about it is that it's free.

The outfit in that "Darius" screenshot is a Witcher rip, with a few tweaks. Without going into the detail of who uploaded and how it got around, the archive's called Witcher v1.3.7z. 4chan's /rs/ section might be a good starting place. It's not exactly a private mod.

Since I figure this one and the other ones from the pack will come up more than once, it's a Sims conversion from a place with a poor reputation, converted by a very nice guy who has already shared quite a few hairs on that site. I'm not sure if I should say the name of the site, but it's not a gaming site, though it was shared on the video games board. I can at least say that it was originally a Newsea Sims hair. AKA - practically unfindable. *rofl* No, not at all. Just at a place that I don't want to say because I'm worried about people that haven't heard of it wandering in. I'll give you a hint: it's believed that users of the site are the ones who have hacking the PSN over and over, and users of another board on this particular site are known for wearing Guy Fawkes masks and protesting scientology. If you go to the video games board and find an Oblivion general thread there, just ask and you'll likely get a link in moments.

I think one reason most Japanese modders host their mods on their blogs is because of the language barrier; many of them can't speak English, and have gotten some nasty comments from native English speakers about it. Another reason is that they don't want their mods hosted where they can't support them properly. I have a bunch of links to Japanese blogs bookmarked, and I should be able to share them here because it's all original content; some of even have links to Nexus mods. Narulivion: Has links to many Nexus mods, and is the home of MBP2ch. Kumakumakokuma's blog: The origin of the lop-eared elf race. Hosts the race and its resources, as well as original hair meshes. Ryk's blog: Personal blog of the modder Ryk. Hosts very high-quality female clothing mods, some of which are not available on Nexus. Zeoblivion: Blog belonging to a Japanese modder who's been very busy lately. Hosts some very cute outfits and a high-quality player home. Tona's blog: Not updated very often, but check every once in a while if you want to see what Tona's currently working on. Tete's blog: Another Japanese modder's blog, with some cute outfits. Homura's Diary: Personal blog of another very talented Japanese modder. You can find many others by following the links in each blog. Google Translate comes in very handy with these blogs, but for the most part isn't necessary.

And your point is? I could ask the same about your first post actually, but I think that people have avoided linking Japanese sites with ripped content and I haven't seen one without it. Actually, there are very few Japanese sites with ripped content. Some have very bizarre sexual mods, but few have rips. Most Japanese Oblivion blogs either review or link to mods, or are the personal blogs of modders who make original content, such as Tona and NPR, who share their mods here. Japanese modders tent to share their mods through their blogs, which are linked to other blogs, and Japanese modding forums. If you can find one blog, you can find them all, and the files are typically easy to access and not passworded, unlike with certain Korean sites, Russian sites, and Chinese sites. Most of the ripped content comes from Korean and Chinese sites, though Chinese sites do have some original content as well. Russian sites also commonly host rips, but not all of them. That isn't to say that no Japanese sites have any rips at all, but I don't see a problem with linking to Kumakumakokuma's blog and Narulivion.
