:: TNR - All Races v1.01

A massive redesign of most NPCs in Tamriel. This mod updates 1700 NPCs from all major races and gives them unique looks and personality.

Next releases will focus on Vampires and Shivering Isles.

I just went through a major optimization.

After backing up Oblivion.ini and let the game create a new one, I got rid of several tweaks that do not make sense any more with the 1.2 version of Oblivion.

Then I installed Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE)  which is a requirement for the Streamline 1.0 mod, and experienced a significant improvement of framerate overall. Some crash still persist - they could be due to corrupt saved games with Quicksave. I will have to check that out.

Note: Streamline 2.0 is out (04/25/2007)

Uninstalling Iolo System Mechanic and installed Diskeeper, with automatic defragmentation of C and Game drive. The game seems more stable now.

Exnem Eye Candy female body

Textures -  This mod replaces the default mesh for female body by a more 'feminine' one. This is one of a few body replacements available. I happen to like the proportions of this one (not too extreme nor too skinny, although the shoulders and hands are a little too large).. .and judging from the number of clothing mods updated to use this shape, I am not the only one.

FEMALE EYECANDY BODY REPLACER Underwear version - v1.0

FEMALE EYECANDY BODY REPLACER Nude version - v1.0

FEMALE EYECANDY WARDROBE

Continue for a list of mods that update existing armures, clothing to this particular body mesh.
