Name: Auto Equip Swim Suit & Dive Knife with BBB

Version 1.2: By popular demand, I added a male version of the Auto Equip Swim Suit, so the mod should work if your character is male or female. I imagined what an Oblivion warrior guy would wear swimming and Room207's bodybuilder briefs came to mind. I used Nifscope to weld the lower body to Roberts bodybuilder torso, hand and foot; so when your warrior guy jumps into the water, he should look great. (A lot better than some dude trying to swim with full armor would look anyway.)
Also, I corrected the texture paths in the meshes so that you should not need the other mods installed for the suits to show up correctly.

Version 1.1: Modified the esp so that only two things need to be in your inventory - "Auto Swim Sandals PNL," and "Auto Swimsuit PNL" for the suit to equip. The "Auto Dive Knife PNL" is optional. Also I gave a bit more heft to the knife, adding attributes similar to the shock dagger, but with a little more duration.

Description
========

I love Reapers Auto Equip Bikini, but I have never liked dummy knives on clothes. Your swimming under water and a slaughter fish attacks and you go to draw that dummy dagger and come up with bare hands. So I sent Reaper a note and asked if I could add an auto equip diving knife to the mod, and got to work. I think that one of the most beautiful daggers in the game is wintermuteai1's Artemis Enteri Dagger, so I got permission to use that also.

While building the mod, I realized that Reaper's Bikini, although a very nice piece of work, is a bit Goth. I wanted something more Fem for my character, so I selected one of Ryk's beautiful swimsuits, and added a pair of Ryk's matching sandals. I know from experience that if you do not include BBB, it's the first thing people ask for so I included Nephenee13's BBB meshes for Ryk's swimsuit. For this mod I selected a beautiful red one piece that I am really fond of. To the Artemis dagger I added some ruddy texture color to the blade, and gave it the light on strike enchantment to help you see under the often murky waters of oblivion.

How it works: After you install the mod, three things should be added to your inventory - Auto Swim Sandals PNL, Auto Swimsuit PNL, and Auto Dive Knife PNL. When you jump into the water with your clothes or armor on and start to swim, the swimsuit, sandals, and dive knife will equip under water. If you remove any of these three items from your inventory the auto equip should not take place.
