   Orc Race Replacers

   By ratrace in Races

   Orc Race REPLACER:
   These mods will improve the looks of the female orcs. They come with their own bodies and face textures. Available as UNP, UNPB-BBP 2.4 (which is an addon and needs the UNP Replacer as a prerequisite), UNP Skinny or CBBE.
   
   These files have been on the Nexus for a quite a while but I've taken them down from there. Instead I moved them here since I've been asked by some users for their whereabouts. So here they are.
   
   On this occasion I fixed the broken UNP dismemberment partitions in 3Ds Max and removed the world normals with Nifskope.
   
   The version number 1.5 doesn't say much (was 1.2 or so on the Nexus), it just marks the re-release of these mods on LoversLab.
   
   Orc Race ENHANCER:
   The Orc Race ENHANCER comes with the same facial makeovers as the replacer (facial features proportions), but has NO body replacer onboard. The sweet orc girl you see on most of the pics is included as a preset. It is borrowed from Windsongs Beauty Overhaul Oriental v2. Unfortunately that overhaul was down last time I checked on the Nexus, so I cannot link to it.
   
   For those that decide for a UNP body to go along with the Orc Race Enhancer and are searching for a good textures set, I STRONGLY recommend:
   
   http://www.darkcreations.org/forums/files/file/578-alt-navetsea-unp-seamless/
   
   THAT is seamless. And quite a lovely body. Test it!
   
   EDIT: In case you still have colour mismatches on the neck area because of the twisted UNP UV map:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50329/?
   
   Does a really good job!
   
   
   
   Under all circumstances credits are given to Bhaktisean, creator of the Lunari race, who kindly gave me permission to use his textures. All the best to you, Bhakti, and thank you for your kind support!
   
   Thanks to Windsong for giving me permission to freely use his beautiful Orc preset!
   
   Gerra6 must be credited for his awesome and dangerousky tireless work on his mesh editing tools Clothing Converter and Mesh Rigger. I used the latter (Version b_88_b, rock stable) to copy the dismemberment partitions I fixed in 3Ds Max on the meshes with the broken partitions of the same body family (in this case UNP), so I didn't have to do it all over again but instead just click some buttons. But Mesh Rigger can do so much more. My soon to come Half Orc Race update will make use of it as well. THANKS GERRA!
   
   Last not least credits also go to Dimon for the yummy UNP (Skinny) body and Caliente for CBBE.
   
   And thanks to all on LL. You guys rock!

   UNP Skinny using CBBE Slim TBBP Weighting

   By ratrace in Body Replacers

   This is just a simple body replacer, namely UNP Skinny using CBBE Slim TBBP Weighting. As far as I know, there was no TBBP-enabled version of my favourite body out there, so I made one. No neck gap visible.
   
   I made the CBBE slim TBBP body with Bodyslide 2 and copied the weights to the UNP Skinny body. The result was a perfectly working (and HDT compatible) UNP Skinny body.
   
   To have a decent texture to go with that body I chose the Alt Navetsea UNP Seamless. Thanks for that go to:
   
   Navetsea for CBBE skin texture V2 V3 plus Thepal and UNP compatible textures and alt3rn1ty for making the UNP seamless version of it:
   http://www.darkcreat...a-unp-seamless/
   
   Thanks once more go to Gerra6 for Mesh Rigger:
   http://www.loverslab...ta46-3-23-2014/
   
   Caliente for Bodyslide 2

   The armor on the other pic is from here:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54593/?
   
   I used Gerras Clothing Converter v85 to convert into UNP Skinny TBBP. Get it here:
   http://www.loverslab.com/topic/27557-new-clothing-body-style-converter-release-candidate-v072-3-30-2014/
   (browse to the last pages of the thread)
   
   and last not least to Dimon for the great UNP body:
   http://www.nexusmods...rim/mods/6709/?
   
   EDIT: Just uploaded a version without labia meshes and textures for folks who use their own body textures and don't know how to merge the labia textures with their own body texture.

   Half Orc Race

   By ratrace in Other

   Sorry for the lack of good screenshots, I will make some more - I concentrated on the work and to get the stuff uploaded as soon as I could)
   
   
   Prerequisites:
   - Skyrim with all DLCs or Skyrim Legendary Edition
   - All Unofficial Patches (links in the "credits"-section - just scroll down)
   - The Race Compatibility framework by TMPHoenix:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24168/?
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   For the HDT UNP TBBP body:
   SKSE 1.7.0:
   http://skse.silverlock.org/
   
   The HDT physics system (I use 14.28):
   http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/840-hdt-physics-extension-v1428-latest/
   
   a nice XML to give you a realistic jiggle - I used the "Loremonger - no collision" version:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54044/?
   
   a skeleton that supports HDT - I recommend:
   http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/676-xp32-maximum-skeleton-extended/
   
   FNIS of course:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811/?
   
   and you need (T)BBP-enabled animations. I use:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35035/?
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   If you need further info on HDT:
   http://www.loverslab.com/forum/52-hdt-physics-extension/
   All the body styles in the Half Orc Race mod are compatible with this setup, though only UNP HDT TBBP is optimized for it and won't run on a "normal" (T)BBP installation. All other bodies should run on without the HDT Physics system as well.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   HIGHLY recommended:
   Race Menu, version 2.7.2 or higher:
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/?
   
   vwr Neck Seam Fix
   http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50329/?
   That mod adds an overlay you can pick in RaceMenus overlay section with which you can fine-tune colour mismatches in case you have any. Remember that, depending on different lighting mods and setups there MAY occur colour neck seams (NOT gaps). This useful gem takes care of that. In my game, it eliminated neck colour problems almost to zero, and in combination with the Navetsea UNP Seamless textures (which I packed as optionals and also merged parts of them into the included Lunari textures in the neck areas) it really looks great.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Installation:
   1.: After having taken care of the prerequisites, install the main mod first. It comes with the standard UNP body - no breast or butt physics included, just pure UNP. If you don't want different body styles or textures, you're good to go.
   2.: If however you want to pick a different body choose one and install it over the main file - just overwrite.
   
   3.: If you want, you can choose one of the optional texture packs to replace the one included in the main file. Choose one and install last.
   
   Annotations to the Addons:
   - All bodies except for the UNP HDT TBBP body should work in a normal (T)BBP environment (which means (T)BBP-enabled skeleton / animations and FNIS)
   - The CBBE bodies come with the original CBBE textures. But I have included an addon in the CBBE archive that contains the Lunari textures.
   - In case of Dream Girl, you must install the Standard Dream Girl Standard body for this race first (included in the Dream Girl archive) and after that the optional addon you wish to use.
   - The custom Dream Girl body has the same heavy body, but the light body has smaller hips and breasts. So the range is wider than the original, but not towards a bigger, but more petite appearance. You can still use the Dream Girl armour without a problem, because the change is subtle enough.
   - The UNP Skinny TBBP is still a bit experimental. It works, but still needs some optimization.
   - The NMUBS archive contains body, hand and head subsurface maps that eliminate the ugly bronze glow in certain lighting conditions. A link to the original mod is in the credits-section. There you'll find pics that show you what that mod does.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Be "forewarned":
   I don't aim to meet everyones taste with this mod, but still there are a lot more body styles to choose from in this version of the Half Orc Race compared to its predecessor. I have no overly huge breasted bodies included in any of the optional files that come with this mod because I simply don't want them in my game. Not for any screwed up moral reasons, I simply don't like them. The range from UNP to the more robust UNP Leito body represents quite well how I like girls in Skyrim (and real life).
   UNPB - (T)BBP and CBBE Classic are the most voluptuous body styles you will ever find here that are included in this mod by myself, and I think that's a good compromise. However, if you want to contribute to the yet underfurnished Russ Meyer department, feel free to create an upload of your own or get in contact with me if you think your Megavixen should be added to the optional files here. No prob.
   And sorry, I don't support NMM because I will let it touch my game only over my cold dead body. And to be able to give NMM support I would have to install it.
   I avoid that mod manager (and others that are alike) not because it's Nexus software, but because I want my mod manger to act transparently. I want to know WHICH FILES will be overwritten BEFORE the deed is done.
   But hey, the installation of this mod is not that hard, and not everything needs to be done with a single click of a button. We have our heads not only for wearing a hairstyle, you know.
