Description
===========
This is a texture replacer for Roberts male body replacer mod. It adjusts the necklines to be a little smoother and less noticeable.

Details
=======
I adjusted (painted) the necklines on almost all the body textures from Roberts male body replacer mod. The Dremora and Khajiit textures were near perfect already so I did not adjusted them. This particular mod is for the male version only. It will work on any version of his mods (v2.1,v3.7,v4) including the added mesh versions for v3.7. All credit goes to Robert for the original textures.

Note: This mod was renamed from MaleBodyReplacerV4_BetterNecklines to Robert Male Better Necklines for easier search results.

Install
=======
This archive is distributed in what LHammonds calls OMOD-Ready format. It allows you to manually extract and install like most other mods but it also allows you to use Oblivion Mod Manager and import this archive with all the settings pre-configured for an OMOD file. Pick which method you are going to use for installation:

Manual Installation
- = or = -
OBMM Installation

Manual Install
--------------
1. Extract this archive to any folder and then copy the contents to Oblivion's Data folder. Choose "yes to all", "overwrite files" if prompted. You can ignore or delete the "omod conversion data" folder.
2. This is only a texture replacer so there is no .esp or .esm to check before launching Oblivion. Just make sure that Roberts MaleBodyReplacerV4-14942 is installed correctly prior to installing this mod.

1. Copy archive to (install folder)\Oblivion\obmm\omod\

OBMM Uninstall

1. Start Oblivion Mod Manager.
2. Double-click the name of the mod in the right-hand side of the OBMM screen, click Yes. (icon should turn green)

Upgrade
=======
1. Overwrite files from any previous versions with new files from this version.

Note: v0.2 and v0.3 files are the same. The only difference is that v0.3 was repackaged as OMOD-Ready for OBMM, and renamed for easier search results.

Incompatibility
===============
Any mod that replaces the original male body textures or Roberts male body textures will conflict with this mod.
Any mod that replaces the original face textures will conflict with this mod.

Note: This mod is going to show conflicts in OBMM with the required MaleBodyReplacerV4-14942 installed, because the files from this mod are overwriting the files from that mod. In this case, the conflict is a good conflict. You have nothing to worry about. Just make sure MaleBodyReplacerV4-14942 is installed prior to installing this mod and overwrite files when prompted.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Note: This bug is not caused by this mod, or any player created mods. When you are in character creation I recommend that you reset the face (press the "face tab" then press "reset face"), and slide the complexion slider all the way from one side to the other side and back to where you want it, to ensure that the correct texture is applied to your character's race instead of the default texture that the Oblivion engine tends to load regardless of the race. This process should be done even without any mods applied to your game. After you do this process you can change the look of you character without worrying about your textures unless you change to another race or gender, in which case you will have to repeat this process. This whole process only takes like 5 seconds and you will see the difference, trust me.

History
=======
v0.1, 8/31/2008 - Initial release.
v0.2, 9/07/2008 - Minor adjustments to neckline. Now uses Roberts face textures for all the races.
v0.3, 12/10/2008 - Repackaged as OMOD-Ready for use with OBMM. Renamed for easier search results.
