Feb 12th, 2020 - End of support for this mod :'(

it's nice to know that people out there are still playing some of my mods :)

However, I am afraid that I can't support them any longer. Unfortunately, I am far away from oblivion today, and I don't even have a proper installation of the game anymore to reproduce new issues, incompatibilities etc. Even less will I be able to implement new features.

All of my mods (see list further below) haven't been updated for years now, and I've obviously missed multiple important updates to related mods, OBSE etc. So it's very likely that incompatibilities have accumulated to a pile which I cannot address any longer - at least not without giving up other things in my life.

This all means that I'll have to make that long-feared hard and sad step after all.

Creating all of this stuff and supporting an evolving it over years has been a fascinating, thrilling part of my (at least virtual) life, but I just have to move on nowadays.

I am very sorry about this - it took me a long thought to make that decision. :(

I encourage everyone to take the sources from my mods to try to adapt them to more recent developments! I am sure that there are hundreds of gifted modders out there who can do it in an instant or two ;-)

Thanks to everyone who has contributed in any form to this!! Take a look at the long list of credits!

I'll still try to keep in touch here the best I can. Maybe I'll even have my own "nostalgic Oblivion playthrough" from time to time. I'll always be glad about mor "Oblivion talk", but only as a player. I won't be able to be an active modder for TES IV any longer.

Kind regards (with a bit of crying),

TOP HINT - WHAT TO DO IF BOTHIEL WON'T TALK TO YOU!

Dear all, here's some hopefully good news after a very long time of silence...

There's been a long talk (for months and years) about a nasty little bug in my quest that happens sporadically and prevents certain players from talking to Bothiel as a key NPC at a certain quest stage.

For anyone affected by this:

I have finally found the answer to this, thanks to patient help from a player named nekarisan.

The outcome is: Though, unfortunately, I will not be able to deliver a fix for it, there is a WORKAROUND using a plain and sim
