======== TOP MATTER ========

TGND2 Artifacts Replacer v1.0.0
Assembled and tweaked by Manks


========= SUMMARY ==========

Converts all female armors added by Trollf's Artifacts to fit to The Girl Next Door v2 body. Also adds female versions where none previously existed. Compatible w/TGND 2.1B and Artifacts 1.1.


======= 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).

Artifacts 1.1 by Trollf, Corepc, and Team Arma (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=25309).

(Recommended) TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch, version 1.0.3 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41811).


======= INSTALLATION =======

Artifacts uses a BSA, so installation order doesn't matter. If you do not use a program to manage your installation, you may have to take care of Archive Invalidation.


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 "0 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. Right click the package name from the main installer list and select install.

6. Run BOSS, or adjust the load order manually. Order shouldn't really matter.

7. (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 archive somewhere safe.

2. Drag the contents of "0 Core" into your oblivion/data directory.

3. If desired, drag the contents of the more-practical armors folder into your oblivion/data directory.

4. Sort and activate the esps, as in the BAIN directions above.

5. If necessary, handle archive invalidation. Instructions are at: (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Oblivion_Mods_FAQ#Archive_Invalidation).


=== DETAILED DESCRIPTION ===

Converts all female Artifacts 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. Also adds female versions to armors where none existed.

Includes a "more practical" option for the chainmail cuirass and iron greaves that protects more exposed areas.

Finally, Artifacts is freakin huge. I might have missed something. Let me know if I did.

As a graphics conversion, the esp should be safe to merge into your Bashed patch.

Side notes:
All meshes have been optimized with PyFFI-py3k 2.2.0
The esps should be clean
Comments are always welcome

========= CREDITS ==========

----- Artifacts Armors -----

Trollf, Corepc, and Team Arma

Big, big thanks to these folk for releasing this as a modder's resource - such a contribution is huge.


--- TGND Body and Meshes ---

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.
