📋 About This Mod

Some tweaks and fixes for the mod Thievery in the Imperial City by jog. This update does not continue the storyline into part 2, but just edits the existing mod a bit. You do not need the original mod at all when using this updated file hosted on this mod page.

Some of the new features include:

  • []Jog_X_Mod.esm has been merged into thievery.esp, to save a slot in your load order. This ESM is no longer needed.[/]

    []The broken FormID: JOG01init "Just sets the flag in JOG00Vars. Usedmods" in thievery.esp has been fixed, and it now has a proper FormID.[/]

    []Cleaned all of the ITMs in the mod.[/]

    []Made the compressed BSA into an uncompressed BSA, for faster loading.[/]

    []Various typo and grammatical fixes.[/]

    []Derrien Venoit's vendor chest will now respawn, hopefully to prevent any save bloat issues from selling him large quantities of items.[/]

    []Derrien Venoit and Barin Hlervo are now essential, and Derrien Venoit now belongs to the ICFaction "IC Citizens" .[/]

    []Gave Derrien Venoit a better and permanent outfit that is more fitting of a shady and rogue-like character, and gave him an infinite amount of bread loaf to eat.[/]

    []Improved the quest markers for some quests, and made the Barenziah books into four separate books. Fixed the missing ownerships on those books as well.[/]

    []Fixed a bug which could occur after returning the Jade Skull to Sarvendis. The player just stood there with the controls disabled while Sarvendis stared at you.[/]

    []Moved thievery.bik to the Video folder to be consistent with where the game stores its videos.[/]

    []The locked door in Dorian's Private Quarters can now be unlocked with Dorian's House Key, and the edits to ground many objects in Dorian's Private Quarters have been removed, as these fixes are now already in the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.[/]

    []Some objects in the Crypt of Brynne dungeon have had their ownership fixed, they were owned by Felen Relas erroneously.[/]

    []Changed the Glass Shield found in a secret location to a Mithril Shield for balance reasons.[/]

    []Some Unofficial Oblivion Patch changes have been carried forward, although the Unofficial Oblivion Patch is not required.[/]

If you experience any other bugs in this mod, feel free to leave a post here in this mod page's posts section. I may be able to fix them, but there is no guarantee that I am able to.
