Bathtub types available: - Arcane Bath - Blood Fountain - Bloodbath Tub - Clawfoot Bathtub (this tub can be cycled through three 'modes': standard, bubble-bath, and bubble-bath plus 'surprise') - Copper Bathtub - Daedric Lava Bath - Half-Barrel Bathtub - Marble Bath - Rose Wall Fountain - Round Fountain - Sylvan Stone Bath

=============== 2. Requirements ===============

  • Requires TES IV: Oblivion, patched to at least version 1. 2
  • Does not require Shivering Isles (though alternate esps that support it are included).
