📋 About This Mod
Harvest v0. 99. 10 ************************ Description ********************* Harvest was designed to allow players to easily see which containers they had already searched. Along the way, that goal turned it into a popular mod for realism fans as well. When you search inside a container, its appearance will change. In most cases this means the container will animate open, but there are a few exceptions as explained in the Details section. Most containers can be manually reclosed by activating them again in Sneak Mode. All containers that are flagged to respawn will return to their closed state when the cell is reset (3 game days by default). ********************* What\'s New ********************* 100% of the containers from vanilla Oblivion now have Harvest effects. Yay! See the Details section for information about some of the new additions. All quest bugs that we were aware of have been fixed. Optional experimental add-ons to replace handprints on crates and flat-topped barrels. The harvest effect on containers in player-owned homes is now optional. ********************* Installation for OBMM users ********************* If you use OBMM to install and manage your mods, omod conversion data in included in the archive. To build the omod, just launch OBMM, click \"Create\" at the bottom of the window, and in the new window click \"Add Archive\". Browse to the 7z file you downloaded. You\'ll be asked whether you want to import the omod conversion data. Click Yes. Then just click \"Create omod\". When you install the new omod, you\'ll be given a couple of options with full descriptions. The choices you make at install time are completely reversible if you later change your mind. An readme called \"Harvest Readme.html\" will also be added to your Data folder. This mod can safely be added to a game in progress. Important Note if you\'re upgrading: The main mod filename has changed. The previous file name was \"DEJ Harvest - Containers .esp\" for reasons passing all comprehension. It is now simply \"Harvest.esp\" and will remain so in all future versions for the sake of sanity. Make sure you\'ve removed the old ESP file, since the new one will not overwrite it. ********************* Manual Installation ************************ For those not using OBMM, you can simply extract the 7z file in your Data directory. If you were using a previous version of Harvest, some files will be overwritten. Files from other mods will not be affected. This mod can be safely added to or upgraded in a game in progress. Important Note if you\'re upgrading: The main mod filename has changed. The previous file name was \"DEJ Harvest - Containers .esp\" for reasons passing all comprehension.
