Detailed Description:

This mod introduces a utility item to Oblivion: the rings of Equimanus. These rings allow players to save and quickly switch between full sets of gear, including weapons, rings, amulets, clothing, and/or armor. The rings of Equimanus do not take up a ring slot, meaning they can be worn in addition to the standard amount of 2 rings, which means that you can save rings as parts of your outfits. Only one ring of Equimanus can be worn at a time however (it is in fact impossible to equip more than one, so there shouldn't be any problems here). By saving different outfits on different rings of Equimanus, players can create, edit, and quickly switch between their most used outfits of gear.

These rings are introduced to the player through a quest (read below on how to begin the quest). For detailed information on how to use the rings, read the in game book On Equimanus, which can be acquired from Kordiir for free or purchased from First Edition in the Imperial City Market District.

Requirements:

You must obviously have TES IV: Oblivion installed. Any version of the game should be fine, the DLC is not required.

OBSE v0021 or higher is required.  Download and install it from the OBSE website prior to installation: http://obse.silverlock.org/

Installation:

First ensure OBSE v0021 or higher is installed as detailed above. To install The Rings of Equimanus, simply extract the contents of the archive into your Data folder. Specifically, the "The Rings of Equimanus.esp" file must be placed in the Data folder of your Oblivion installation, as must the Sound folder and its contents (which should merge with any existing Sound folder in your Data folder). The mod will still run without the sounds installed, but the dialogue will not be voiced without them.

Uninstalling:

To uninstall, simply delete the "The Rings of Equimanus.esp" esp file in the Data folder and the folder "The Rings of Equimanus.esp" located under Oblivion > Data > Sound > Voice
