📋 About This Mod
Name: Auriel\'s Retreat Non COBL Version Version: 1. 0 Date: 12/06/2009 Category: New Lands Requirements: Shivering Isles Patch 1. 2. 0. 201, Oblivion Patch 1. 2. 0. 214, and Really AEVWD is recommended. Author(s): lance4791 This mod offers new land to explore and houses to live in. There will be new merchants offering goods from both the game Oblivion and its plug-in Shivering Isle. There are no quests. This is the non COBL version of my Original Mod Auriel\'s Retreat. The different between this mod and the original is that this mod does not require COBL to play. The COBL added feature is also removed, namely the extra books and the Ingredient Sorter. You will however need the bsa file from my original mod to play, but will use the esp file from the non COBL version. The link to my original file is : http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27730 I will post only one picture here, check out the rest of the gallery in my original mod. This version is made by removing the items from COBL using TES4Gecko and closing off the temple that hold the books. When the mod is loaded, you will receive a book. Read it to get a spell to summon a portal to Auriel\'s retreat. The portal will not disappear after summoning, so you might want to select a proper location for the summoning. Though re-summoning the portal should allow you to place it somewhere else, you need to leave the area then come back for the portal to reappear. In this new land, you will find houses to live in and merchants to buy and sell things. In the arena you can summon and fight creatures. The bodies of the creatures are set to disappear after a while, so you may want to loot the fallen quickly. There are portals and spell crafting and enchantment altars in a temple. I have also added spells like mark and recall and summon storage to be sold by merchants. Use mark and recall spell carefully, they may affect certain quests. Some other spells available are summoning arrow spell and Heaven Wrath spell. I made none of these spell, the credits belong to their authors. Install ======= 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\\ 4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click \'Data Files\', and place a check mark beside the .esp file. Due to issues with loading order with the mod with different players, some of the lod items do not load properly. Please download TES4LODGen by ElminsterAU http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15781 After installing the mod (Really AEVWD is recommended), use the generator to do the lod again. Note that lods are included with my mod, but they don\'t all appear in game as I have hoped. The lod items will be placed at data/distantlod in the game. Should you wish to remove them affer install my mod, just delete them. So basically: 1- install my mod by placing esp and Bsa file in the data folder. 2- Install AE
