[CS] Messed up tails with Khajiit.. , a solution.

[sandor]

When creating Khajiit or Argonian from scratch you'll encounter some problems (in the CS and in game). Like missing tails etc.

A little guide how to overcome this problem.
Make sure you unpacked your Oblivion - Meshes.bsa.

Create a new path in your own data directory: "meshes\characters\_male\".

You need to copy all the files from the "\meshes\characters\_male\" (the unpacked bsa file) directory to your new path, in your own data directory, otherwise there will be no animations available for your NPC.


Let's take a Khajiit as an example.

Screenie 1. Errors in the CS (there are more of these around, only an example) when placing the Khajiit in the interior.

Screenie 2. Khajiit with a messed up tail.

Screenie 3. Default in the CS.
In the NPC "Edit Base" screen; "characters\_male\skeleton.nif" (below the race selection) is selected.
Change (*) that to characters\_male\skeletonBeast.nif (screenie 4).

(*) data\meshes\characters\_male\skeletonBeast.nif



Screenie 5. Problem solved.
