📋 About This Mod

This plugin adds vaults to the castles of each major city: Anvil, Bravil, Bruma, Cheydinhal, Chorrol, Leyawiin, and Skingrad. Also included are vaults in Kvatch and the Imperial City Marketplace District. The vaults range in size and content, although they all have a good amount of gold and treasure. These vaults are EXTREMELY difficult to get into: keys are necessary, and you won\'t just find them laying out in public places. Please take note that you need to be a rather high level to successfully plunder a vault; some things are leveled, but 90% of the treasure is static. If you can get in at a low level, you\'ll be set for a very long time. Good luck, though - it is EXTREMELY difficult to do so without getting caught. Each vault has three guards, two who work during the day, and one at night. Each vault also has it\'s own special treasure, tailored to the city and Count or Countess. These include, but are not limited to, a unique book, some very powerful artifacts, a unique plant, and unique weapons. Please see the included SPOILERS - Vaults of Cyrodiil.txt if you get stuck in your plundering. VERSION 2: Issues Resolved: -floating chest in Cheydinhal Vault -fixed the Akavari War Globe ability -tidied up pathnodes -fixed the issue of not being able to grab keys -fixed the lights so they should be compatable with Thieve\'s Arsenal. New Features: -Costumes! Trick your way into the vaults! -Patrols! Now the guards won\'t just stand around - be watchful! -Kvatch vault - bring plenty of healing potions! -Imperial City Marketplace Vault - each shop has its own special room for you to rob!

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Covers all major cities plus extras, so you get a lot of content in one mod.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description cuts off mid-sentence, leaving details about vault sizes and features incomplete.
  • No mention of compatibility with other overhaul mods, so conflicts with city overhauls are possible.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod adds vaults to castles, be sure to check each castle's interior thoroughly—some vaults may be hidden behind doors or require keys.
  • If you use other city overhaul mods, load this one after them to ensure vaults appear correctly.
  • The mod is from 2008, so if you're playing with the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, test for conflicts in Kvatch and the Imperial City.
