Maboroshi Mod

REQUIRES: MORROWIND ONLY

This mod adds a new race.  Part human, part feline.

Installation:

Install the ESP into your Morrowind/Datafiles folder, the meshes go in your Morrowind/Meshes folder, and the textures in your
Morrowind/textures folder, and sounds go in your Morrowind/Sounds folder.

There is an addtional folder called Mabo-choices.  It allows you to swap from Mog styled hands and feet to more Khajiit like.  Copy the appropiate .esp file for the look you want.  The default install is for Mog-like hands and feet.

Removal:

Removal should not invalidate you save games.  If you are running a Maroboshi character be sure to change your race with the console before deactivating the mod.  If you don't in limited testing I have become a Redguard without a head...  you have been warned.

Details:

Adds the Maroboshi.  A race cat-human hyrids caused by someone's experiments in transformation magic.  The race is weighted more towards stealth with a little magic.  Designed as a PC race.  Limited support for NPCs ( 1 hello voice, 1 attack voice, 2 idle voices, one dialogue entry "Maboroshi" in case anyone has %Race in use)

Known issues:

One of the female hair styles is physiqued.  The cat ears look at a very strange angle in the preview window -- don't worry they
 look fine in game.  This style also causes half the head to appear bald on the "paper doll" this comes from the original mod and
is not changeable by me.  In addition the hair has some minor graphical issues since it was not physiqued for a beast body. 

The other hair styles may also have minor display problems in the preview window, they look fine in game.

Due to differing sizes of head meshes some hairs look better with some heads than with others.

You hands are very large, they will clip with bracers and some clothes and also with some weapons, that is unavoidable.

Your large hands become human like when gloves are worn.  This too is unavoidable, unless you buy and equip gloves from the 
Mog Mod and its related mods.

The hair has alpha channels.  When viewed through water you may appear bald, this is a limitation of the game engine.

One male head is a recolored version of one of Ireni's heads.  Like the original the mouth does not move when speaking.
