📋 About This Mod

Update May-14-2010: You may want to check out this Revisited version by LazyAltmer, he fixed some bugs and made it a bit more customizable: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20575 See the readme. Here is the readme: Crowded Roads v2. 0 - Revamped This version by MaXiMiUS Original by BkWyrm13 maximius at gmail dot com =================================================================== WHAT DOES IT DO? =================================================================== This adds random travellers to all the main roads in Cyrodiil. =================================================================== INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION/NEW VERSIONS =================================================================== Simply unrar the Crowded Roads.esp file into your Data folder and enable the mod from the Data Files menu in the Oblivion launcher. Do the opposite to uninstall. For new versions uninstall the old mod. Save your game. Install the new version. Then the next time you play it should work. =================================================================== FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, ANSWERED =================================================================== - Load order does NOT matter. - iLevItemLevelDifferenceMax conflicts are OK. - No, NPCs do NOT have ub3r l00t issues. - Maintaining \'alternate\' versions is tedious. - Found a bug?

Let me know, I\'ll add it. Sorry if that seemed rude, but it doesn\'t seem reasonable for me to answer the same questions for every single person that asks. =================================================================== LIST OF RECENT CHANGES =================================================================== FINISHED off Redguards, totalling 263 NPCs! Phew. EXTENSIVE work on scripting, as well as extensive testing. COMPLETELY rewrote how NPCs choose to travel between towns! ELIMINATED slowdown for the most part. Levelled list markers no longer have a script attached to them (this was old travel system). Reduced chance of NPCs spawning down to 1/50 chance. Probably some other stuff too, I always forget to mention something. =================================================================== LIST OF CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL =================================================================== 35 NPCs -> 263 NPCs 40% chance of NPC spawning -> 2% chance of NPC spawning NPCs always walk -> NPCs have 10% chance of having a horse NPCs always walk -> NPCs have a 10% chance of \'rush hour mode\' which means the
