Please Help with Body and Appearance Mods

Recommended Posts

JUST started playing Oblivion again and I seem to have a serious problem with load order or compatibility. I'm playing a female character, Lineage II Elf, and there are major seam problems at the wrist, there is hardly any color on the body (breast details are non-existent), and she has MAN HANDS. Not really, but her hands are disproportionately large. I'm looking to either discover an incompatibility or change my load order or something to get around this problem. I have used these exact mods in the past and had them working wonderfully, although a few of them have been updated since I played last. They are:

 

1. Natural Faces (OMOD Activated)

2. Ren's Beauty Pack

3. Elves of Lineage II

4. HGEC (OMOD Activated)

5. HGEC Hi-Rez Skinset http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19021

6. HGEC Body Seam Reducer http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19738

7. Ren & Exnem Compatibility

8. A handful of other Eyelash/Hair/face mods

 

I'd really appreciate some help from whomever can offer it.

 

Thanks in advance.

mystic elf causes the body problem in question. I tryed using lineage II also and gave up after the problems i experienced with it.

 

Load order will not be affected by a body mod, but you need to install exnem-hgec-then hi_res in that order.

If you're about to use any custom race, make sure install correct body texture for body replacer you're using. For Mystic Elf, Exnem made one for his EyeCandy body(and other modders did for their body replacers), but you can install Ozmo's instead.

 

**Although ExnemEC/HGEC seems to use own hand mesh, it's not much smaller than vanilla hand IIRC. RAIAR also released MGEC as modder's resource, and it is not compatible with any EC/HGEC mod since its wrist is thinner.

Well I KNOW that I had them working seamlessly in the past. But I was using older versions. I used the OMOD data with the new HGEC. I think I'll try using an older version that actually depends on the original Exnem mod because the new one is a standalone (updated May '09).

 

I thank you guys for your assistance thus far, and hope you'll check back when possible so I can report.

So I tried unistalling each mod and reinstalling with the Exnem base and not using the OMOD data on the HGEC. Nothing changed.

 

I also realized that I had both the Ren's Beauty Pack .esp and the .esp for Ren and Exnem compatibility which causes a conflict. However even after deactivating the proper .esp I'm left in the exact same situation: A colorless body and some massive wooden man-hands. Brutal.

For colorless body, you'll need to install Mystic Elf body texture, seriously. As I said, Exnem did Mystic Elf body texture for EyeCandy, but it's not uploaded here(you can get it here). And Ozmo made hi-res version of Mystic Elf texture, and it's included in the HGEC HiRez texture archive.

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I've got both HGEC Hi-rez texture mods bookmarked and I'm having a tough job choosing which one to use. It seems that a lot of comments on Ozmo's lately have been about installation woes. But his is the higher rez text pack. It's a tough call.

 

I actually got rid of the hands problem by installing HGEC manually but I haven't tried to reinstall Elves of Lineage II yet. Here we go.

OK I hope that people haven't forgotten about me. I just found something very interesting.

 

This is what I did:

1. Installed HGEC. - Worked perfectly in game including, no hand seems or huge wooden hands.

2. Installed Hi-rez tex pack - Worked flawlessly

3. Installed Seam Reducer - Worked like charm. Now females are starting to look good!

4. Installed "Elves of Lineage II" - HUGE PROBLEMS

 

It was the Man Elves of Lineage II mod all along. As soon as I install that mod the body goes all white and the hand/wrist seam goes out of control. And my player gets man-hands. I revert back to the state before the mod was installed and it's all back to normal. CRAP. I even tried installing the Elves of Lineage II mod first and then overwriting what I could with the other mods. Same problem still persists though.

 

Elves of Lineage II was recently updated to include a few other formerly supporting mods, although the info doesn't state such, I just discovered this by playing the game. Anyone have a solution?

OK. I'm close to giving up. Here is the result of combining HGEC or Exnem with EoLII.

 

 

 

 

As stated previously I'm using the Ren & Exnem Compatibility mod as well but my chick still has huge hands with total seam problems. I can use HGEC flawlessly but once I put EoLII on there the problems start. Is it possible to just not copy certain textures into the data folder? I don't think any of the included files actually conflict with the body mod but I didn't check extensively. If that's true though then it's a problem with the .esp right?

 

 

Has anyone else actually tried to make the two of them work together recently? Since they both were updated in the last few months?
