📋 About This Mod
Name: Gold is an inventory item Version: 0. 60 Date: 24 September 2011 Category: Gameplay Effects and Changes Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1. 2. 0. 214, Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) v0017: http://obse.silverlock.org/ Author(s): kuertee Source: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21881 Changes since last update (0. 59) ================================ 0. 60, 24 September 2011: Bug-fix: Previously, when playing with the default setting of Progressive Weight, the actual weight of gold will stop updating properly which may result in weird fluctuation of the weight of gold. This is now fixed. (Sorry, that this took awhile to fix. Everytime, I looked at it previously, it would work. It was only after sometime of playing did it break. Because I never carry a large amount of gold, I never noticed the fluctuation of Encumbrance that some players experienced.) Description =========== Gold is an inventory item. It is weighted. And can be dropped or put in containers. Details ======= Edit: 16 January 2009, Reneer has now tracked down and fixed the bug: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=760445&view=findpost&p=13621544 This is an alternative to Reneer\'s Gold Mod. This mod is not as full-featured as Reneer\'s. E.g. This mod does not have any Credit notes. NB: I had to build this mod because of a bug that i\'ve been experiencing in my games that was causing any item picked up after Gold to increase encumbrance by incorrectly (usually by 1000s): http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=760445&view=findpost&p=13584735 This bug is particularly problematic when used with the various encumbrance mod. Note that although the idea for this mod is from Reneer\'s Gold Mod, the code is in no way written from or based on any code from Reneer\'s Gold Mod. OBMM Install ============ 1.

History ======= 0. 59, 29 November 2009: Bug-fix: Support for Enhanced Economy\'s Misc Adjustment.
