Lore:
The origin of the strange race known as Tabaxi is unknown. Perhaps they are the result of magic gone wrong; perhaps the madness of the gods; or perhaps simple wicked fate. Regardless, these cat-people are known for stealth and mischief. They are quick and agile, yet strong, if not overly clever. They have a fascination for magic and magical things, especially of the sort that transmutes or deceives. Tabaxi have a strong dislike for Khajiits (and vice-versa) but are generally fond of Bretons and Bosmers.

Installation
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
(If you already have Ren's Hair installed, it will prompt you to overwrite - this should not be necessary)
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside ONE of the .esp file(s), according to the body mod(s) you use:

a. Use Tabaxi_Race_Default if you use no body replacer
b. Use Tabaxi_Race_BAB if you use the BAB female body replacer
c. Use Tabaxi_Race_Robert if you use Robert's male body replacer
d. Use Tabaxi_Race_BAB_Robert if you use both BAB and Robert's body replacers.

Special installation for Corwyn's female body replacers:
--------------------------------------------------------

\Data\Meshes\characters\tabaxi
\Data\Textures\characters\tabaxi
\Data\Textures\characters\eyes\tabaxi
\Data\Sounds\Voice\Oblivion.esm\tabaxi

Incompatibility
This mod should not have any incompatibility issues. It is known to work well with Beautiful People without needing to be merged or otherwise manipulated to avoid the "googly eyes" problem some other race mods have.

Known Issues or Bugs
Note that this mod is not currently compatible with the current UFF body mod. The Corwyn compatibility is for the old alpha version of Corwyn's mod.

Hello, I got the mod to work kinda, and i was wondering how to get out of jail cell at the begining of the game?

HOW TO GET OUT OF JAIL CELL

Hello everyone i got this to work and ran into the problem of the dude being a d*ck to you at the start of the game. What you have to do is START AS A KAJHIIT (other cat people). Then continue on until the emperor opens the cell wall and you leave the cell. Then press ' or wichever to open the console and type in "showracemenu" without the "" and no spaces then swap to tabaxi. ALTERNATIVE EASY WAY: You can also just proceed to the sewer exit and change your race there. TOODLESNOTE IF YOU LEAVE SEWER ANY WAY WITHOUT DOING STORY QUEST YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANY FUTURE STORYLINE QUESTS.
