Version history:

v1.1 - Tweaked AI settings to hopefully prevent random unprovoked attacks upon other NPCs.

v1.0 - initial release

versions to come:

Other companions from other custom races.

Installation Process:

Extract all files to c:\program files\bethesda softworks\oblivion\data. When  asked to 
overwrite files under meshes, sound or textures, select 'yes to all'.

Requirements (other than Oblivion and Shivering Isles, of course):

*Required download: CM Partners Mod Basic by Cutthroat Mods/Blackie 
(http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819)

*Required download: Tabaxi Cat Race Version 2 by Luchaire
(http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9870)
(You'll need everything from his mod EXCEPT the .esp file. It was necessary for me to modify the "reactions" settings for all 3 Tabaxi races to prevent the companions from attacking EVERY Khajiit they encounter.)

(Originally Salmacis1968 had wanted all his companions to have spells from Midas 
Magic Spells of Aurum, but it has been my observation that the more mods a mod is dependent 
upon the fewer people will download it, so this last recommendation is my compromise for that.)

To play as the custom race you will need a custom race fix mod or patch.

If you use an older version of CM Partners you may (?) also need a mod that enables 
companions to follow you to and from the Shivering Isles. I think the Cutthroat Mods Team fixed 
that problem in v2.0 (thanks Blackie!).

Everything else is included here, except of course the Oblivion game itself and the 
Shivering Isles expansion. Credits and thanks for everything borrowed here can be found below.

Bugs and Glitches:

None that I am aware of. Please let me know if you find something.

This mod is by no means intended as an attempt to take credit for anyone else's work. 
Credits and thanks for everything used in this mod can be found below. (Sorry, we don't know 
how to create textures, meshes, scripts or quests on our own yet, so we borrowed from the 
community.)
Since most of the contents of this mod isn't even my own work I really can't give anyone 
permission to redistribute it; however, I only borrowed from mods that were released to the 
community under open license by their creators, so I guess you can still use them however you 
wish as long as you give credit to the original creators. And, of course, if you use any of our 
companions in another mod, mentioning our names would be proper and appreciated.
