TGND2 Frans Replacer v1.0.1
Assembled and tweaked by Manks
========= SUMMARY ==========
Converts all female armors in Francesco's Leveled Creatures-Items Mod and Optional New Items to fit to The Girl Next Door v2 body. Also adds female versions where none previously existed. Compatible w/TGND 2.1B and Frans 5.1b1 and 5.1b2.
======= REQUIREMENTS =======
The Girl Next Door Female Body and Clothing Replacer by Luchaire and Kalia, version 2.1b or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=30914).
Francesco's Leveled Creatures and Items v5b1 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=40190)
(Recommended) TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch, version 1.0.2 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41811).
======= INSTALLATION =======
As Frans v5 uses a BSA, installation doesn't matter so long as you can handle Archive Invalidation. Both Wyre Bash and OBMM do this for you.
BAIN
----------------------------
1. Drop the release archive into your BASH Installers Folder.
2. In Wyre Bash, go to the installers tab.
3. Click on the package name from the list. Under the sub-packages area, make sure "00 Core" is checked.
4. If you want to install the less-skin/more practical versions of the iron greaves and chainmail cuirass, check the relevant box.
5. Check one of the sub-packages under "10" corresponding to the options for Frans that you wish to use.
6. Right click the package name from the main installer list and select install.
7. (Optional) Run BOSS, or adjust the load order manually. Load after Frans esps.
8. (Optional) Rebuild your bashed patch.
OMOD
----------------------------
I don't use OBMM, so while the mod has OMOD conversion data available, I can't say exactly how it will work. Presumably, install like any other OMOD-ready mod. Install after OOO 1.33 or 1.34, and after TGND.
MANUAL
----------------------------
1. Extract the contents of the archive somewhere safe.
2. From there, drag and drop the contents of the "00 Core" folder directly into your oblivion/data directory.
3. If desired, drag the contents of the more-practical armors folder into your oblivion/data directory.
4. Pick one of the ESPs in the other numbered folders, corresponding to the different optional installations of Frans. Drag and drop that into your oblivion/data directory as well.
5. Sort and activate the esps, as in BAIN directions above. The conversion needs to be after Frans in your load order.
=== DETAILED DESCRIPTION ===
Converts all female Frans armors/clothing to the TGND body type. The typical TGND treatment includes a slightly larger butt, bit of a tummy, thinner wrists, flatter chest, and smaller feet.
As a graphics conversion, the esps should be safe to merge into your Bashed patch.
A word of warning: Frans is a relatively large mod and I am but one person. It is probable that a mistake was made somewhere. Please report any bugs.
Finally, some of the armor sets were done rather hastily, as they were pick-and-mixes from vanilla sources. Some clipping might have been introduced as a result. Let me know and I'll take a look into resizing/reweighting.
Side notes:
All meshes have been optimized with PyFFI-py3k 2.2.0
The esps should be clean
Comments are always welcome
========= CHANGES ==========
Version 1.0.1 - 04/16/2012
Updated chainmail dress mesh to vanilla armor patch 1.0.3
Did similar with the large chain cuirass, matching the vanilla leather one
And again with the light steel cuirass matching the vanilla huntswoman shirt
Updated Warcry robes from that replacer, v1.0.1. Generally less clipping, cleaner seams, and smaller files.
Connected the town guard pauldrons to the chest piece on the reinforced chainmail cuirass
Added a more practical/less revealing reinforced chainmail cuirass option
Fixed OMOD Script
Added a less revealing/more practical variant for the reinforced chainmail cuirass
Several pieces had their "skin" material renamed, causing the flesh parts to appear incorrect in game.
Went through all the meshes with Nifskope and compared their properties to the originals. Hopefully synchronized them all.

====== REDISTRIBUTION ======
A few things before I get into the details:
1) I don't much want any credit for any of this, I'm really only interested in bringing a body type I think is great to some mods that I also think are great.
2) I also don't want to make it any harder than it needs to be for this stuff to be shared, so whatever contributions are "mine", do with whatever you please.
3) However, the vast majority of files included are available under restrictions and it is certainly necessary to point out that they can be traced back to the hard work of a variety of excellent artists.
That out of the way, the following sets of armor require no modification and/or redistribution of the original artistic assets. To redistribute these, cite the names for TGND body and armor parts listed in the credits.
braided, chaindress, colovian, dragonelite, gmithril, griffin armor, heaven's fury, javrmb, largechain, lightsteel, noble plate, oddbasket, ravenwear, rusty armor, warcry
The following involve reuse of original meshes or texture maps, but are available provided the original artists are credited. Dragon scale also requires the artist to be notified of use.
lamellar, thorgrim, dragon scale armor
The following mesh folders use non-vanilla geometry, UV maps, or both, and no information on redistribution is accessible. I have attempted to contact the authors with varying degrees of succcess, and if notified that they do not want their work re-released, I'll pull it immediately. If you wish to redistribute, note that you may have to pull them as well.

--- TGND Body and Meshes ---
Most of the armors are retextures/mesh swaps from Vanilla, so this effort relies heavily on The Girl Next Door Female Body and Clothing Replacer and my own TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch. Where no equivalent mesh existed, the armor was refit directly.
Body parts:
They derive from TGND by Luchaire and Kalia, assisted by Chingari, Sickleyield, Kristoffer, and Alt3rn1ty. Tracing the work way back, it originated with Exnem and Raiar and their Exnem and HGEC bodies.
The arms were inspired by Team Fantasy Figures by AcidRain, Corwyn, Daede, Kalikut, Oubliette, Robert, and SickleYield.
Robert's female feet were adapted by Luchaire. Credits: Robert, Drazius, Baron B, AmberAder, Edhildil, RomanAder, and Coronerra.
Vanilla meshes:
Primarily from TGND armor replacer, whose existence is due to Luchaire and Kalia but can be traced to EVE HGEC Eyecandy Variants Expansion (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=24078). Project credits are Axil, Corepcmmp, Grhys, Gudwyn, MadCat221, Morphan, Lol9, Sm0ken1nfin8, Zinni, and xFrancis147.
And finally, Bethesda, for making all this possible.
