IF YOU'RE UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION
__________________________________
Before installing this mod, go into your game and relieve Friska of any possessions you don't feel like losing.  Tell her to go on standby and enter a different cell without her.  Save the game and close it.

Install and check off the newer version and head back to Silverhome on the Water.  She'll be waiting for you, fresh out of the box again.

DETAILS
_______
You'll find Friska floating around in Silverhome on the Water in Bravil.  She's a ranger-type class, and special care has been taken to make sure she's able to heal herself, so you shouldn't worry too much about stocking her up with healing potions. :)

Have fun!


INSTALL
_______

1. Extract the file into your Oblivion/Data directory.

2. Very important: Make sure CM Partners.esm, CM Partners.esp, and DesuChan's Kawa-Khajiits are all checked off and BEFORE this mod in your load order.  If any of these mods are after this one in load order, the mod may not work properly.  Use a program like OBMM to ensure a proper load order.

3. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp.

4. Head to Silverhome on the Water in Bravil.  You'll find her there.


UNINSTALL
_________
Go into your Oblivion/Data directory and delete CM Partners Friska.esp.

VERSION HISTORY
_______________
1.5: Tweaked for DesuChan's rerelease of Kawa-Khajiits

1.2: Fixed the damn tail for real this time.  I was... kidding the last time. '-_-

1.1: Addressed issues that some people were experiencing where Friska's tail didn't show up correctly.  Changed her class to a more melee-appropriate one.

1.0: Original mod release.

INCOMPATIBILITY, KNOWN ISSUES OR BUGS
_____________________________________
-If you head into Silverhome on the Water and get a CTD:

Make sure you have the latest version of Oblivion.
Make sure all of the appropriate mods are checked off and in the right load order.
Don't attempt to modify the .esp unless you're cool enough (see below.)

-If Friska refuses to join you:

You probably smell funny.  Heh, just kidding.

You may have to raise her disposition a bit.  CM Partners was designed in such a way that a partner will refuse to travel with you until they like you more.  So maybe you do smell funny after all!

-If you downloaded this mod and can't find DesuChan's race mod anywhere on the internets:

It probably doesn't exist anymore.  If you're nice enough, she might still give it to you.  You can find her at the Eyecandy Forums and OzModders forums under the username DesuChan.

--VERY IMPORTANT--

DO NOT attempt to modify the .esp unless you know what you're doing (ie you've made CM Partner mods utilizing custom races and know of the complications that come with making them.)

If the mod is edited and resaved, it will most likely lose its dependency to DesuChan's Kawa-Khajiits and Oblivion will no longer be able to find Friska's race, even if both .esps are still active.  In other words, brutal crash to desktop.

If you tried to anyway because you don't like reading readme files and now you're kicking yourself in the butt, your best bet is to simply reinstall the mod over the one you tried to tinker with.  Shame on you.

--YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED--
