Delay DLC Start

Another mod to delay DLCs from starting. This one uses configurable conditions in an ini file to determine when each DLC quest starts.

REQUIREMENTS:

- Shivering Isles.

- Knights.esp

- DLCBattlehornCastle.esp

- DLCFrostcrag.esp

- DLCHorseArmor.esp

- DLCMehrunesRazor.esp

- DLCOrrery.esp

- DLCThievesDen.esp

- DLCVileLair.esp

- At least OBSE 16. 0

- DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch - SSSB.esp. (A no-SSSB version excludes this patch.)

- DLCMehrunesRazor - Unofficial Patch.esp. (A no-UOP and SSSB version excludes this and the SSSB patch.)

(UOP = Unofficial Oblivion Patch, SSSB = Sigil Stone Sound Bug optional Thieves Den DLC plugin).

DESCRIPTION:

- IMPORTANT: Use only with a new game!

- Yet another mod to delay the start of the DLCs. I figure more choices are better.

- This one starts the DLC quests based on conditions you can configure in an INI file. If any value is out of the acceptable range, you get a warning so you can fix it before continuing.

- Be sure to back up your INI file or document your preferences in case you reinstall this mod.

- The way you choose to play your character matters.

- Map markers are not added to the map until the DLC starts. Fast travel is disabled until you discover the location.

- For the three skill-based settings (sum of fighter, magic, and stealth skills), there is no maximum value in case you use a mod that increases their maximum from 100.

- The processing starts once you are in an exterior location.

1. 1) Player level >= 20

1. 2) Player is in the Bravil worldspace (can choose to ignore location check)

(If the location check is skipped, it starts in one day once the other conditions are met.)
