📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 221 endorsements and over 32k downloads
- Gives you freedom to roleplay a non-prisoner character from the get-go
- Simple concept that fits seamlessly into Oblivion's existing systems
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may have compatibility issues with newer mod setups
- No detailed instructions or feature breakdown in the description
- Requires you to get arrested to start the main quest, which might not be obvious
For Oblivion players who want to skip the prison intro and craft their own starting story. Great for roleplayers who want to begin as a merchant, adventurer, or anything else. Skip if you prefer the vanilla opening or want a more extensive alternate start mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM, install this mod manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Remember that getting arrested is the trigger for the main quest — if you want to start it later, just commit a crime and let the guards catch you.
- Since the mod is from 2016, check if you have any other mods that alter the prison intro or main quest triggers, as they might conflict.
