  1. Looks like Sinblood's Armors of Gaia. The HGEC meshes are here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18008
  2. Looks like the FFrace mod that has been floating around, to these eyes.
  3. As a long time user of the Nexus family of sites, I can honestly say that not once in that entire time has a negative endorsement been of any use to me as a mod user. Here are a few examples based on negative ratings I've seen on files I've downloaded over the years: "I cannot endorse this file because it imbalances the game" Already this is a nebulous reason to downrate- even moreso when the mod is already placed in the Cheats and God Items category. Yes, this has happened. More than once. "Nice work but the game doesn't need more content of this type- so I took the time to rate the mod down so some other mod I've deemed more deserving might gain a foothold in the Top 100 instead." Many thanks for conflating your games "needs" with mine, and attempting to manipulate the ratings, it is appreciated. " I don't like anime/race/weapon/insert non-lore catchphrase here mods. This sucks." These downratings are often accompanied with stream-of-consciousness hubristic diatribes about what they think the developer intended and how much of a slap in the face this mod must be to them. Very informative. "This house mod is nothing special. Anyone with the Construction Set could do just as well. As a matter of fact, I have, like, ten times over, but I just haven't uploaded anything. Yet." M'kay. And then we come to the reason some folks want negative endorsements to make a return: to alert the modder and potential downloaders of serious game breaking issues. " This mod doesn't work and it broke my game". Sometimes, literally hundreds of people (including me) have endorsed this dangerous, game-breaking file. Hundreds of people without googly eyes, or stuck animations. Hundreds of people with correctly updating quest logs, and uncorrupted saves. But one person who cannot be bothered to read the Description page, let alone the readme, has trouble, and who describes their issues in the language of one who is not well versed in the absolute basics of modding their game, and wouldn't know their Data folder from their Recycle Bin, comes to the conclusion that the mod is at fault. I've seen texture replacers blamed for broken quests. I've seen hair mods blamed for floating trees in the wilderness. I've seen people install mods that are noted as conflicting directly with one another, and then get mad when they don't work as expected. I've seen all of these examples, over and over again, for years. What I have not seen are articulate, reasoned, intelligently formulated and persuasive negative endorsements. It seems simple enough. I mean, all I want to know is if the mod "works", with "it works" being determined by how predictably it performs in at least a somewhat responsibly-managed load order- and that's it. I don't care if it insults your personal beliefs, or if you think it doesn't do justice to the movie that inspired it, or if it doesn't provide enough high resolution eyecandy for your overpriced new system. I don't care if you could do better, especially if you're not even going to upload it and subject it to the same scrutiny you like to dish out. I just want to know if it works. Hence, I have ceased taking negative endorsements seriously, at all. I just got tired of wading through the petty BS. My game hasn't broken yet. In my experience, the most informative "reviews" have come from the positive endorsements, users who are invested in the success of the mod they are rating because they like it already. They like the mod, they want it to work, so they endorse it, and note incompatibilities or technical issues in the comments section, often with practical workarounds for other downloaders. I've seen modders work with these users to enhance their mods, so I know it works. These commenters are the ones who have helped me create a stable, modded game, and I am grateful to them. Frankly, building a better negative endorsement system is just not something I am interested in doing. There are already ways to alert modders and mod users of potentially game-breaking flaws in a modification (hello Comments page, nice to meet you) that don't involve stamping something with a Seal of Disapproval.
  4. Your description makes me think of "Koutetsu's Outfits", by Koutetsu (surprise surprise). It had a little witch who sold clothes and armor for a variant of Fantasy Figures living in the Cheydinhal Abandoned House. One of the armor sets was a very distinctive take on the Dwemer armor. But, I could be wrong.
  5. How about these, Naktis? Shoin-Zukuri House Amaterasu no Yume Yakumo Isle Rise of a Samurai in Osyogatsu Or Zeo's House in Riverside, which contains a Japanese house add-on: http://zeoblivion.blog11.fc2.com/blog-entry-30.html#more There's also "Akaviri Kojima", which is no longer on Nexus, but can be found in a Google search. :)
  6. 1st outfit- Seifuku Collection by Monpoko http://tesnexus.com/...le.php?id=22503 2nd outfit: that's Q-TA's Hokujyo Set. I don't have a link for it, but I am pretty sure that is on SHY Uploader somewhere. Second post, first outfit: I've seen it, but I don't know if it's been released anywhere publicly. Second post, second outfit: That's from Hepsy's Uniform001 set, http://www.4shared.c...Uniform001.html
  7. I'm willing to bet this a mod from overseas but regardless I'm very interested in this as well. Hope someone finds it. :) It's here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37503
  8. http://blog.livedoor.jp/oblivion_susume/?p=29 Link is at the bottom of the page.
  9. @ jiroslash- The guy's outfit seriously reminds me of something from Doppler's Armory, but with some extra bits and bobs added, maybe from WAC or something.
  10. Looks like VB Hair 05 from this mod.
  11. This gorgeous, original work is not "private". It's called "08 Dancing Girl" and is by Zeo, the wonderful modder behind "House on Riverside", et al, and is available through his blog. Google it.
  12. It's included in this hairpack. http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37420
  13. I just found a link on an old Korean blog: http://xenta.egloos.com/22909
  14. Looks like this mod. For future reference, a query like this is better off in the Oblivion Mod Detectives thread.
  15. Try googling tespro.tistory.velvet. It should come up on the first page.
