📋 About This Mod
Thanks for downloading DBSRebuilt. Ratings and constructive comments are most welcome and appreciated. ****************************************************************************************************************** VileLairRebuilt is now up and there\'s a version that incorporates and links up with DBSRebuilt. You can get it here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26062 My other main mod \'Sentient Weapon II\' can be d/l here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22226 ***************************************************************************************************************** Version 1. 9 Notes: ================== Several scripts have been removed from the esp that were not intended to be edited. The lower mine area has been edited some to help with the FPS down there. Description =========== This mod is set out to finally redo the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. After searching and searching and seeing that no mod has done this yet, my work began. This mod uses many of the wonderful resources available from other players and modders, and brings them together to give the Dark Brotherhood a more fitting home. Also I figured since the archmage gets his own room, the silencer should, too. Video now on Video Tab.. Patch For Assassin Tripwires is now up. I plan on doing some remodeling to get the area more in the theme of DBSRebuilt. Read the included Readme File before using. Installation ============ 1. Unzip the files to a temporary directory 2. copy the Data folder to your Oblivion folder 3. If asked to overwrite click yes. 4. Be sure to check DBSRebuiltComplete in obmm or on the oblivion load up options 5. If you have DBSRebuilt, make sure it is unchecked. 6. That\'s it. Before running the mod, do a \"clean\" save(not a new game) outside the sanctuary, even if you used the previous versions of this mod. The abandoned house basement will do. This is to insure the game loads all the changes. Uninstallation ============== 1. Uncheck \'DBSRebuilt.esp\' 2. Delete the following folders: \\Meshes\\Architecture\\Moria \\Meshes\\Architecture\\DBS \\Textures\\Architecture\\Moria \\Textures\\Architecture\\DBS \\Meshes\\Furniture\\DBSFurniture Version History =============== 1. 9 Repaired some scripting issues, edited mine shaft to help with the FPS. 1. 8 Introduced the lighting system. 1. 7 The exterior entrance is now Locked, unpickable, and a new suprise attached to it. Do not use unless a member. hint hint Moved M\'raaj Dar to help with his AI Pathing issue. Removed the cobwebs in the undercaverns to help with FPS issues. Not promising full throttle FPS, but should atleast be better than before. 1. 6 Applied Ownership to the new exterior entrance. Fixed a bug at the end of the quest line that sent the player in the middle of a statue base. 1. 5 Fixed conflicting scripts. 1. 4 Fixed Vicente\'s Quest markers, so when its time to get rewards,
