ABOUT THIS MOD:
===============================================
Recently, a new species of cat was discovered on the islands of Borneo (details here: http://environment.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn11384&feedId=online-news_rss20) and when people had seen this, the requests soon started coming in! After seeing this gorgeous and amazing cat, I just had to create a Khajiit race based upon it. It took me many hours of painting the fur from scratch, but the end result is well worth it in my opinion. I occasionally like to play Khajiit characters and like them to be distinctive and unusual. Apart from the fur and a few differences in attributes and size (female is small and lithe, male is taller and heavier in build), they are otherwise a standard type Khajiit. They have the same special abilities as their more common cousins.

Added a white variant known as the 'Clouded Arctic Leopard' - identical in all but colour and a little heavier-built.

I've done male and female, plus extra textures for Robert's seamless male body. They use the normal Khajiit hair styles, but these are colourable unlike the stock ones, and they come with 26 eye choices: 13 normal and 13 glowy, including several odd-eyed variants. They also have voices and both sexes share all hair and eyes.

*Changelog:
1.2: They now have whiskers like proper cats!

===============================================
INSTALLATION:
===============================================
This mod should consist of:
OblivionRobeTrader.txt
Slof's Clouded Leopard.esp
meshes folder (with subfolders)
textures folder (with subfolders)
extras folder

Just drag all these (minus the readme) onto the data folder in your Oblivion directory and they will go where they are meant to. All the files are nested inside sub-folders - KEEP THESE INTACT - the game knows to look there for them.

Paths for the folders are as follows:
Meshes: data/meshes/characters/ascloudedleopard
Textures: data/textures/characters/ascloudedleopard

Extras:
This folder contains a fullbody texture for Robert's seamless male body (any shape) in both brown and white variants. Install these over the original installation.
Get Robert's seamless male body here: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=8422

I've also supplied an unmodded template save at the sewer exit to save having to go through the starting dungeon or needing a race fix. Just pop it into the saves folder and it's good to go if it's required. New characters can be fully configured from this. To change character name from 'Template' open the console (~ key), click on character (best done in 3rd-person) and type: setactorfullname xxxxx - or for a name with spaces, type: setactorfullname "xxxx xxxx" keep the quotes and hit enter.

===============================================
KNOWN ISSUES OR BUGS:
===============================================
None that I've found. If there are any bugs, let me know so I can fix them.

===============================================
INCOMPATIBILITIES & SAVED GAME WARNINGS:
===============================================
Shouldn't conflict with anything - eyes, hair and other unique parts are all self-contained and don't interfere with other races. No stock races have been touched or changed.

===============================================
CREDITS & USAGE:
===============================================

Capuchine for the colourable beast hair meshes
Ren for the remapped eye meshes
Scanti and JazzJR for the whiskers and combined teeth meshes (big thanks for answering my request!)
Kirel for the tutorial on giving custom characters a voice
Khevor for the original request and showing me the news article
Textures entirely hand-painted by me
 
I don't really mind if any of this is used for or in other mods, but it's nice to be asked (I rarely say no!), and please give credit to me where it is due. These textures took me many hours to create. Make sure to change any filenames and ID's to avoid accidental overwrites. Please ask me before uploading it anywhere so I can make sure the correct version is used and not an out of date one.
