Configuration Items Begone

One of the biggest problems of Oblivion modding is the existence of a large amount of legacy mods that no one care to support anymore (or even physically can't thanks to nexus policies regarding permissions). Those mods suffer from a large amount of problems and one of them is the way those mods implement their configuration.

Before LINK era, many mods were using special configuration items and spells that they were adding to player's inventory via scripts on game start. For me personally this greatly breaks immersion. When I open my inventory, I only want to see items that my character has and nothing else. When I open my spells book, I only want to see actual spells that my character learned, and not some utility trash that reminds me I'm playing a modded game. Instead, I'm opening my inventory after game start and seeing a dozens of items, more then half of them aren't actually real items at all! And even for non-configuration items: how tf am I supposed to have them, I'm in damn prison!

Do you catch what I mean? Ever wanted to start a new game on your heavily modded Oblivion and see this?

Well, now you can! Sadly, it's not that good with spells, since many mods add spells that don't fall neither under "real true spells" category nor under "settings" category. Good examples would be whistle, feign death and some lovers stuff. But I have plans on dealing with them later as well, but with different approach.

This mod consists of following components:

• []Filter patch that removes configuration items from various mods

  []Plugin for adding LINK++ configuration menus for those mods.

  []INI Tweaks that will prevent some mods from adding starting items for mods that support that through configuration.

All those components are optional, you can select any combination of them. There is a Wrye Bash Wizard that will help you to install them.
