My Oblivion Album

December 10th, 2013

Current load order with OOO re-instated and very much welcomed back. It will probably stay this way now for the main mods, but I may add smallt hings like armours or weapons.

So OOO is back then if it's back for you for the reasons you stated, then it will be back for me...I will need some tips to do the bashed patch when I re-installed.
You mentioned that without the overspawn esp there is no need of a WAC-OOO bashed patch? What is in the overspawn esp? don't recall...Maybe that's an option I might consider...

I have the WAC-OOO patch if you want it but it's for the Alpha version of WAC and OOO has updated as well so it may not work well. I also have an armour stats fix esp, but I don't know here I got it...

, or if it's necessary. (I keep everything

) I forgot to add it in my game but I suspect it fixes a lot of the weights and other stats which would be a good thing since a lot of the WAC gear isn't balanced. That was something Alex hadn't really got into as yet.

Weights especially, since some bows and other gear weigh a lot more than it seems they should when compared to OOO gear or vanilla for that matter. For example, I found a mace that weighs something like 45 and I couldn't even carry it let alone use it. A couple of bows weigh 3x as much as a normal bow, etc and that's not even considering heavy armour.

From the WAC main thread- the Overspawn esp...

- WAC - Overspawn.esp This esp rework the vanilla creature lists, this one also add the goblins of WAC that aren't touched by the WAC.esp at all. Overspawn make a big difference and you will not see some stuff without it, for example, the new horses of WAC are managed here. This will conflict with anything else that modify Leveled lists (FCOM, MMM, FRAN, OOO, TIE, etc...). WAC Goblins, WAC zombies, skeletons, horses, and some others stuff are controlled here.

It mostly involves changing the vanilla leveled lists and some other things, but I am still seeing most things anyway. I started over since I was only level 6 anyway and my save wouldn't load since I made so many changes it wasn't worth trying to get it to work. I still get the WAC horses and the Imperial soldiers wear a mixture of WAC gear and OOO gear...not on the same NPC though..

. All the animals are present, but I haven't played enough yet to see what else is missing, or not...

I left this one out as well according to what I've read in various places regarding OOO and WAC together, but it may actually be fine since it adds Realswords and nothing else. I'm not sure why they advise not to use this one.

Just Bash your patch as normal after running BOSS and you should be fine. Make sure you have the latest Wrye Bash as well. otherwise all of the other WAC esps are OK but I don't use the Oblivion Gate one as I hate them

- WAC - TCOS.esp TCOS stand for The Chronicles of Steel. The sum of RealSwords, this esp is the thing in the overhaul that does NPC changes. Weapons, Mages Robes, Armors, Beards, clothes (later). This will conflict with anything that modify vanilla NPC. Yet it's one big part of WAC. TCOS is a very big part of WAC.

I've been downloading a heap of stuff for Morrowind as well. The Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul was 1.7GB

but it incorporates a lot of other mods together so it should save some space for anything else I might find...

.. ( See below. Changed my mind about this after reading some things. Has reported issues I don't want to deal with.)

There's an Unofficial Patch for the game as well, here:

Apparently it fixes a LOT of bugs.

It's been so long since I played MW...many years. I never even finished tribunal or Bloodmoon if I remember correctly and I can't really remember a lot of the main quest.

I haven't installed the game yet though. I have the original discs from when the game was first released. I just hope it works properly with Win 7 x64 other wise I might have to buy the Steam version or something.

EDIT: I'm thinking I may have made a mistake in downloading that huge file. There's next to no info about which mods it includes unless you run the installer and then if I go ahead with it and don't like it, or my PC can't run it well it means re-installing the whole game again. It also does other things to the installation and the exe which can only be undone by a clean install of the game. A .pdf file comes with it but says nothing except how to install the main game, which is a bit poor, I think. There's a forum link which is also pretty useless for info.

I got a bit excited....

and should have read more of the comments about missing meshes and other errors as well. I think I might search out the mods I want to use and go from there.

EDIT 2: After browsing the Morrowind Nexus and not finding a lot of mods I remember, this is the place to go. I think it has every known mod ever made kept for historical reasons. I found some fantastic mods that i used to have and some have been updated since I last played, and I'm still looking. I have a ton of MW mods on backup discs but I can't be bothered going through them. Easier to download again and then back them up.

I don't want to turn this thread into a Morrowind topic but I thought I'd leave the links for everyone's info.

Yeah i found two mods there for Morrowind that i could no longer find on Nexus, also agree about just re-downloading and then backing up again.

Wow! It's getting close now...

. Can't wait to see what you come up with and see some screenshots.

I'm playing MW now, so between it and OB and New Vegas I'm having a ball. I'm also going to reinstall Gothic 3 as it's one of my all time favourites and with it's community patches and content mods it's a great game. I'm not sure if Gothic2 will play on Win7 but I may even look at that since Vurt has made a texture overhaul for it which surprised me.

I'm reliving the good times when games were real games, especially rpg's. The ones that, in my opinion, are worth replaying.

DAYS - 2

If I don't talk to you before...Merry Christmas to all of you

Fessels · December 21st, 2013

`Thank you MasterAub, Merry Christmas to you and every one else as well.

December 21st, 2013

And from me.

We've had several 40+ Celsius days here this week and it's supposed to be quite hot on Xmas Day. Santa will need a fan to keep cool...

.

Fessels · December 21st, 2013

That is immense, in my home town it is at the moment only 7.0 Celsius. But then again, having 40+ Celsius is worse...at least for my taste.

December 23rd, 2013

I linked this in Fessel's Morrowind thread but I'm also putting it here so it can be seen. This is version 2 of the Oblivion Character Overhaul by Nuska.

Prepare to be amazed. As I said, I thought version 1 was incredible but this is way beyond that. I go as far as to say the NPC's now look better than in Skyrim and more like Morrowind. Even the Orc's look great and the Khajiit are beautiful....all they need are whiskers but that's easy enough.

Merry Christmas to all
