    Hello everyone.

    I've released my first female muscle skin texture for the game Elder Scrolls, Oblivion.

    Just follow the instructions at the link and voila you can enjoy a new, muscular, female character!

    dude some of those comments are harsh…I can't believe some people post just to let you know they don't find muscular women attractive.

    But anyway I downloaded it and putthe files where they're supposed to go andnothing's happening. It's been a while since I've played so I don't remember exactly what mods I was already using, but would something like Rens Beauty Pack make this not show up? I even uninstalled and re-installed the game and deleted my old data files and it doesn't seem to work. Although for some reason my old saves are still recognized even though I deleted them, do you think that might have something to do with it?

    Thanks for any help you can offer, I really want to see this in my game.

    Did you read the installation?

    Most likely Ren's beauty pack is causing the issue.

    Look for a folder called:

    data/textures/characters/imperial/female/

    If you have Ren's beauty pack installed there is a chance that inside that folder you will have files that say upperbody.dds and lowerbody.dds

    Copy these files and move them into a different location so that Oblivion will not see these files.  Instead put MY files in and Oblivion will replace those files with my own. 

    Ren's beauty pack is most likely what is causing the problem.

    Make sure that Ren's beauty pack doesn't install any new meshes, you can find them in the

    /data/meshes/characters/_male

    folder.

    If there are any files in there like upperbody.nif or lowerbody.nif it's possible that you downloaded a mesh which adjusts the female body.  Move them out of that folder and keep them somewhere safe if you want to save them.

    With all those files saved and put somewhere safe, pop in my muscle skin texture in the textures folder and now your character will have an extremely muscular body.

    I am currently trying to figure out how to make the female mesh "bulkier" so that she could also be bigger too, but it's not working out too well.

    EDIT:

    If you have any further questions, let me know and I will best try to trouble shoot with you.

    From my meshes folder the progression goes like this:
    meshescharactersren

    In the Ren folder there is a folder labeled "eyes" and another one labled "heads." Both of these folders have files ending in the ".nif" exstension. However, none of these files contain the phrases upperbody or lowerbody.

    I also have an "armor" folder in my meshes folder. In the armor folder I have two different armors which have many .nif files, but again none of them say upper or lower body.

    I looked through my texture file as well. The only other things in my texture file ending in .nif or .dds relate to armor. However I did have two .dds files in the texturescharactersimperialfemale folder. The two .dds files just replaced the default female underwear with underwear that looked less like burlap. I tried removing them, but your textures still don't show up in my game.

    I also tried putting copies of your files directly into the data folder, but as i suspected it didn't make any difference. Just so I'm sure does you mod show up on the oblivion luancher's data files menu? I was pretty sure it's not that kind of mod, but I just wanted  to make sure because if it's supposed to that would save me time loading up the game over and over.

    Oblivion is definitely worth the money, there amount of things you can do in it are practically limitless.

    As for the guy with the texture problems, that's weird that it's not showing up.  I will take a look at my own files to see if I can figure out what's wrong.

    Interestingly enough the underwear was not supposed to change color, I will take a look at the files for you.

    That folder you are talking about that replaces the female underwear is where the female textures should go for the upperbody.

    So basically in your imperialfemale folder place the upper body and lower body along with the underwear replacement if you want.

    I also tried putting copies of your files directly into the data folder, but as i suspected it didn't make any difference. Just so I'm sure does you mod show up on the oblivion luancher's data files menu? I was pretty sure it's not that kind of mod, but I just wanted  to make sure because if it's supposed to that would save me time loading up the game over and over.

    The mod is NOT launched from the data files folder.  However, I would recomend you disable all datafiles to see if the skin will work.  Then if it DOES work, slowly begin turning on the data files one by one to see if it's possible to keep it functioning.

    It may be possible that one of the mods you have installed changes the directory where the skins are detected for the mesh, or they simply overwrite whatever you put into the imperial/female folder.

    Once the .dds goes into the folder, remove any other .dds files to see if you could get it working.

    This is the directory the skins should go to:

    Program FilesBethesda SoftworksOblivionDataTexturescharactersimperialfemale

    If you don't see one of those, create the folders manually and drop them in there.

    I'm going to run an experiment to see if I can recreate what's going on, on your end.  Let me know how it goes.
