Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina

ELSWEYR, THE DESERTS OF ANEQUINA

An across-the-border landscape and cities expansion

Elsweyr Anequina was first released 10 years ago in June 2009! This is the original upload with the latest version attached (Mar 2014). This page also includes many long lost support files which I had thought lost for good. Zaldiir "the Kvatch guy" who is moderator on Nexus encouraged me to reactivate my old account after 7 years and I rediscovered this page. :)

The main download site for the mod is Arthmoor's AFK Mods site which has all the latest support files and patches:

The description below is years out of date. I've kept it as a "flash back". See the AFK Mods site for the current one.

If you wish to contact me do so via the AFK website as my PM is disabled here.

2014 VERSION & DEPENDENT MODS

The Unofficial Elsweyr Anequina Patch listed under "Mods requiring this file" is incompatible with the 2014 version of the mod. The contents of that patch were reviewed and mostly incorporated in the 2014 version.

The Elsweyr-Valenwood Improved patch on the AFK Mods site is incompatible with the 2010 version of Elsweyr Anequina as it includes and requires a unique version of the ElsweyrAnequina.esp (2014 version).

There is patch to make the Elsweyr City Extension mod compatible with the 2014 version (see the AFK Mods site in Mirrors).

If mesh or texture replacement mods don't work use OBMM's Archive Invalidation function. This OBMM tool makes sure that loose replacement files override the ones packed in the bsa archives.

======================================================================================================

To install just extract the single download file to your Oblivion/Data/ folder. You also need to disable the game's borders (see instructions below).

The landscape will look a lot better if you run the utility http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15781" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> TES4LODGen after installing it. This will add all the new cities and trees to distant view as shown in the screenshots.

===================================================

High beyond the hills of the Niben lies the great desert plateau of central Elsweyr. From sandy desert wastes to rocky, red badlands, from grassy savannah to jungle coast, the lands of Anequina beckon.

This new region, spanning the section of Elsweyr between Skingrad and Leyawiin, includes four new landscapes (desert to jungle), four new towns, several villages, Khajiit sub-races, a couple of dozen small quests, three small player homes and a monster-filled wilderness to explore.

The deserts and badlands of Anequina are hidden behind high hill ranges, so are not readily visible from Cyrodiil, despite their close proximity.

I hope you have lots of fun exploring these new lands! :)
