Hey, I'm looking for an easy female body mod to download and install! I would just really like one that is good-looking but not inappropriate (no nvdeness) because I can't stand looking at the females in Oblivion anymore. I am not used to downloading mods so if you know of an easy one that looks at least decent, let me know please! Thanks!

Bump! Please guys! I'm still lookin'

Maybe this one? Can anyone explain this to me in English? I'm downloading it to WinRAR right now

Open the EshmesBodiesV3.7z file you downloaded.
-You can use WinRAR if you dont have one yet, you can download a trial version at http://www.rarlab.com/
-Youll find a "data" folder and a "nvdefiles" folder, and this readme.txt, EshmeArchiveinvalidation.txt.

Copy the files (data) from inside the "Data" folder into your \Oblivion\Data\ folder on your harddrive ,while all subdirectories must remain.

-When asked to overwrite ,agree to it.
-It will overwrite any other mod which changes the same this mod does. Also subdirectories may be overwritten just by existance. Its most likely the skin textures you will overwrite.
-Overwrite to make sure the bodies fit the textures.
-If you are unsure, make backups.

If you dont want underwear to permanently be there, copy the file (data) from "nvdefiles" into your \Oblivion\ folder on your Harddrive as well and it will change the underwear invisible. Special Clothes can still be all revealing thou without those files.

Copy and Paste all contents of the EshmeArchiveInvalidation.txt into a file located at \Oblivion\ArchiveInvalidation.txt (where the Oblivion.exe sits)

-When the \Oblivion\ArchiveInvalidation.txt doesnt yet exist and this is the first mod you use ,you need to create one.
-Just append my contents to your old one if this file existed.
-Make sure theres a linebreak after any fileentry, when you append.
-If you updated from a previous version of mine just append the changes, but no danger if you add doubles i believe.

Run Oblivion, and before you start the game choose the second option (Game Files, language dependant), and check "EshmesBodiesV2.esp" to activate the plugin.
If you updated from a previous Version, make sure the "EshmesBodiesV2.esp" is still checked after installation, so the Mod wont restart and you'd have to buy everything again. There's not a "V3" one in case u wonder =)

Now you can start Oblivion, enjoy!

All body replacers come with underwear options so just choose it during install instead of the nvde version. There are several female body replacers to choose from - the most popular one is probably HGEC, which is a development of Exnem's original. Otherwise there's Eshmes (which you've found), Robert's, TGND etc. Can't link as some might include nudity, which is not allowed.

If you're new to installing mods, check out the pinned *** OBLIVION MODS FAQ *** thread here.

Lol, now I'm just randomly applying the "data" and "Archivetext" to my OMM because I'm so confused! XD

I think I'm messing up my game O.O

Alright guys... I think that this modding business (first of all they need to think up a simpler method ) is too much for me. I'm just going to try and delete all of the stuff I've done and just play vanilla as I can't find any way of figuring it out

:biggrin: Well we all have to start somewhere, besides the suggestion above for the pinned advice (which is here http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/449239-oblivion-mods-faq/), heres another good collation of advice http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/

This modding hobby is a laaaaaarge (and sometimes complex) subject. Good luck.

O, c'mon you didn't even try. The time between your first post and this one is only an hour, and half that time was spent coming here to post. :biggrin: Haha. No really, using mods can be complicated, especially if you've never done so before. But just read the readme with the mod and 9 times out of ten it's cake.

pimpskinny's right. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you've mastered it, you'll find that you have to stop yourself from installing every mod in existence (this happened to me).

As for female replacers, the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion has a page that compares (most of) the various types. It contains nudity, so I can't link it, but go to the link above (that's the main page) and type "body mods" in the search box - that will get you there.

For mods that need to be manually installed, what you should do is copy the contents of the mod archive, for example, the esp or esm, if there is one, or meshes and textures folder, into your "Data" folder under your Oblivion directory, and select yes if you are asked to overwrite anything, if the mod includes an esp or esm, you need to activate that using your Oblivion launcher or Oblivion Mod Manager or some other similar program, but body mods often don't involve such a thing, and usually just include meshes and textures. And if you're unsure of how to install a mod, be sure to read the readme, as these generally contain information on how to install the mod. I would say that you shouldn't quite with mods so easily, while the proccess of installing mods can be a bit intimidating at first, most (The key here is most, some mods are more complex to install than others.) aren't that hard to install once you've mastered it, in my experience, and the results can be well worth it. Regardless, it's probably best to start simple at first, using a fairly small amount of mods, and read the installation instructions in the readme before installing them. You can get a bit more ambitious once you're confident that you have the basics down.

As for which body replacer to use, its really a matter of preference. I'd say that all the well known body replacers are higher quality than the default bodies, it's just a question of which one is more like how you want your game to look, I am presently using Robert's bodies, both the female and male mods, but I'd recommend using whichever one appeals to you. Although choosing a more popular mod might have the advantage of making it easier to find armor mods created for it, since if more players use it, most likely, more people will make mods for it too, but if you just want to make the bodies in the game look better, you should go with whatever mod looks best to you.

As has been said, most body replacers have the option of nvde or underwear versions, so if you don't want any nudity in your game, just install the underwear version of your chosen replacer.

You can't link directly to a nvde mod or is rated as an advlt, but if you use this http://www.gamesas.com/redirect.php?site=http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15802 it's acceptable.

Just help your self and enjoy! :biggrin:
