TGND2 Better Cities Replacer v1.0.0
Assembled and tweaked by Manks


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

Converts all female clothes added by Bananasplit's Better Cities to fit to The Girl Next Door v2 body. Also adds female versions where none previously existed. Compatible w/TGND 2.1B and Better Cities 5.1.8.


======= 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).

Bananasplit's Better Cities version 5.1.8 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=16513). Should be compatible with a few versions previous, but I haven't checked.

TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch, version 1.0.4 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41811).


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

Better Cities 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. Right click the package name from the main installer list and select install.

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

5. (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. Drag and drop the contents of the distribution archive into your oblivion/data directory.

2. Sort and activate the esp, as in the BAIN directions above.

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


=== SUPPORT & DISCUSSION ===

Either post to the comments at the TES Nexus file page, or visit the posting on the Bethesda Forums: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1364452-relz-manks-tgnd2-patches-and-armour-replacers-for-mods/


=== DETAILED DESCRIPTION ===

Converts all female Better Cities 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 outfits where none existed.

I didn't convert the mannequins, as that seemed like a lot of work for something you can't even wear. Not even sure where to find them in-game.

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

As of release the mod should be clean, but it contains a mesh path fix for an apparent oversight in BC. I suspect future versions of BC will not need this, at which point the change will be an "Identical to Master" record. Cleaning that will be fine.

Side notes:
All meshes have been optimized with PyFFI-py3k 2.2.0
Comments are always welcome

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

------ Better Cities -------

Pregnant dress - Russader

I believe that the remainder of the files included here are vanilla retextures by Nernie.


--- 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.
