📋 About This Mod
TinyQuest: Bear Hunt! Description ================= It\'s time for a bear hunt. No, not actual bears-- toy bears! Dozens of them have been left lying around in dungeons all over Cyrodiil. All of them are cute; some of them are valuable; and a few of them will set you on fire. Yeah. It\'s a lot like life. Update 9-19-11: WalkerInShadows very kindly put together a spoiler file giving out bears\' locations. I completely forgot to add the information is-- but here\'s the link: http://project-phoenix.wikidot.com/local--files/files/Bear%20Hunt%20spoilers.zip Many thanks to WalkerInShadows! Update 1-22-11: Now each count / countess of a city has a bear in his or her personal quarters (except the Countess of Leyawiin), and so has Chancellor Ocato! (With thanks to MoonJuice for the suggestion.) Update 1-15-11: Removed OMOD, as it still may be goofed up. Update 1-7-11: I borked the texture paths in the bears! OMOD and manual install files have been uploaded that hopefully fix the problem. Apologies to all! Update 1-7-11: ...and another update, thanks to GreenWarden! She notes, \"The texture paths in them now point to the correct folder, but they are \"absolute\", meaning they might not work for people who don\'t have the game installed to the c:/program files/bethesda/oblivion/datapath-the file paths need to be what is known as \"relative\", ie: textures/bearhunt/cutebear.dds.\" She also provided a corrected version of the nifs, which I\'m uploading right now. One of the things I made a point of doing while playing Fallout 3 was collecting the stuffed bears that showed up as random loot. I sort of missed that in Oblivion-- and then, I found Xiamara & Dhkoster\'s teddy bear resource. Now, if you so choose, you can collect about toy bears-- for presents, for decorating, or for hoarding. Most of the 190 bears are in the various ruins, forts, mines, and caves; a much smaller number are in outdoor locations or non-dungeon interiors. Some of the bears are actually worth money, most are not. Some will burst into flame when you try to take them. Have fun! NOTE: There is absolutely no plot to this, and it\'s not specifically lore-friendly, although there\'s nothing in lore that contradicts it (so far as I know). QUERY: Why 190 bears, you ask? Well, I figured if I was going to make such a silly mod, I might as well be silly on a large scale. HINT: You can start your collection with the bear in the Archmage\'s Tower Lobby, in the Imperial City. CAUTION: One bear will try very, very hard to kill you. Consider yourself warned! Installation Instructions ================= OMOD: Use the OMOD for an easy install. Open the OMOD in Oblivion Mod Manager. Select it & click \"activate\". That\'s it! MANUAL: Put the meshes & texture folders and the esp into into your Oblivion/Data directory. The folders should merge automatically. Activate the .esp. Uninstallation Instructions =================== Remove the .esp, and/or textures
