the first thing you need to do is get the official patches installed on your game,then if your going to change body styles and make your ladies a little better looking I'll lend you a hand. get the patches first!

The trouble I have is your term "normal" oblvion.

Any playable character that has been made pretty is going to require supporting mods in order for it to appear pretty. "Normal" oblivion (I'm guessing you mean with no or few extra mods, and without patches) isn't going to cut it for making beautiful characters.

 

Everything you need is in the Readme files, for example, for your lovely first character the author included this Readme which gives you all the details of what this character requires in the way of supporting mods (I suggest you make sure you have the latest applicable downloadable patch from Bethesda as well):

THE ELDER SCROLLS CHAPTER IV: OBLIVION

This character's body textures are made with using the HG EyeCandy Body-Fighter version by RAIAR. Using other bodies may

cause the textures to not appear properly.

Requirements:

------------------------------

 

Unofficial Oblivion Patch:

http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5296

(you do not need the Custom Race Fix and the Boethia Shrine Custom Race Fix mods if you have this installed)

 

Or

 

Custom Race Fix by kynetarse:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1815

(this will trigger the dialog in the cell for custom races. Without this, you will be stuck in the cell).

 

+

 

Boethia Shrine Custom Race Fix by Damos:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3500

(a fix for Custom races allowing them to do the Boethia Shrine quest. I have not tested this mod)

-----

Body mod:

HG EyeCandy Body by RAIAR. Uploaded by }{ellKnight:

http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15802

(Karla's textures should work with the original exnem body and maybe Growlf's HotBody ver. 4.2)

 

 

------------------------------

Recommanded Mods:

------------------------------

 

Natural Faces by Maboroshi Daikon:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1965

 

------------------------------

Installation:

------------------------------

Install into the "Oblivion/Data" folder. Click OK to overwrite existing files if asked.

Copy and paste the save file, Nec-Karla-01.ess into "My Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Saves" folder

(The character is saved inside the cell).

 

------------------------------

Misc. Info:

------------------------------

 

This mod is made ready to be use with Corean, Ren, Soya and Babe's hair styles. If you have any of these mods installed,

the character will be able to use them. If you don't have the mods to certain hair styles, you will still be able to

see their names in the selection, you just can't use them. Do not select a hair style you dont have the mod to and

saving the game because the next time you load it up, your character will be bald. See the "bugs" section for the fix.

 

You can make changes to the character anytime during gameplay by going into the console (~) and type "showracemenu"

Once you're satisfy with the changes, DO NOT click on the DONE button, instead, hit the ESC key to bring up the menu

and save the game. Then load up the savegame. This is the safe way to exit the console without messing up your

character's stats.

 

If you prefer other body textures, just replace the ones found in: Oblivion/Data/Textures/Characters/Nec Character (Karla).

Make sure you give them the same file name as my files.

 

------------------------------

Bugs:

------------------------------

If you saved the character with a hair style you don't have the mod for, your character will be bald the next time you load

up the savegame. To fix the problem:

 

Install the hair mod.

 

or

 

Go into "showracemenu" and select a hair style that's available to your character (the character may stay looking bald on the screen), save

and exit the game completely (make sure you read the Misc. Info above on how to exit the console safely). The character

will have the hair you selected next time you load up the saved file.

 

I've notice many of the hairs don't fix well with the Corean head mesh (including the Corean and vanilla hairs).

I'm not sure if it's something only happens to me or it's the head mesh itself. Unfortunately, I do not have a fix

for this.

My mods are only uploaded to Tesnexus.com so it's easier for me to keep track of if there's any problem with them.

Please do not upload this mod to other sites. If you downloaded this or any of my mods elsewhere, that means it's

been uploaded there without my permission and I cannot guarentee the files are safe and up to date.

myrmaad gave you some very good info,here's a little something to help you get started

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13283

 

These two mods change the facial textures of the "vanilla" faces in oblivion.you can use either.I would suggest using both, and if you do install IFT textures first and then textures from Enayla.

This is a good example of what I'm having trouble with.

The quoted text from Kayla is the exact mod I'm trying to run for my fiancee, but can't get to work.

 

Before I spout off aobut it, I'll give you a little background on it and myself.

I have no issues with .rar files like many, I'm not a computer-noob at all :)

I've followed many instructions to a "T" and even dotted my "i"s twice. The ONLY thing NOT on her machine is the software/download CS for creating mods.

 

I downloaded Kayla, installed, checked the data box, nothing.

It's in the data folder as well, meshes and texture folders created also. The .esp file is present also.

 

Now, the .ess is in the Saves folder, and when we try to load it, says we need some resources that aren't present. In Nec's comments, someone mentioned this and he said it's no biggie, had something tod o with other mods he had running at the time and was lazy, etc.

 

...so...other people had success with this beautiful piece of work. Alas, I cannot, it seems.

I even went so far in trying ot make it work that I downloaded everything he used to make it for the most part and installed it.

 

Still, no luck.

 

What can I be missing htat it needs? :wallbash:
