📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT NOTE ============== If you have installed the game outside of: \"Program Files\" then do not use the \"file\" listed. Instead use the \"Mirror\" listed. This can be found in the \"Mirror\" tab of this mod on TESNexus. Many thanks to Xtyfe00 for this patch! <333 ============== Wayshrines have several minor updates. These are: > Each Wayshrine has a magical stream above the altar > The magical stream changes colour per god > There is a colour varying light over the altar > Temporary enhancements to the player now have additional effects, including Chameleon and Feather. These vary per god. Pictures of one of each god\'s wayshrine can be found in the gallery. There have NOT been any other changes to the wayshrines, surrounding landscape or any other content. This should leave no room for clashes. The mod was made with a version of the game and CS that had Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine and every Bethsoft Plugin or Mod. It was, however, not made under the OBSE CS, and thus uses no OBSE commands. The version of the CS and Game should NOT matter, however, as none of this content has been added, changed or removed. This should leave the mod bug free. Credit for this goes to: Gregbert (Copyright Holder) - Produced the mod in the CS and created particle effects. ThrotttleKitty - Taught me (And still is) how to used NifSkope, especially Particles. XMarksTheSpot - Helped with Particles and NifSkope errors, among telling me other useful stuff! Everyone on the TESModdersDen IRC Channel - Just for being there, and listening to loads of shit. And helping me with other stuff perviously! Cat - For introducing me to Oblivion! Bethsoft - For creating the Game, and mainly the ArParticle. DDS file that I used. And every Modder there is for TES! <3 Please note: Greg Simmonds (Gregbert) is now known as Kengon on both the TESNexus as Bethsoft Forums.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested (99 endorsements) for a niche improvement.
- Touches both visuals and gameplay, giving more bang for your buck.
- Lightweight and likely easy to install (manual drop-in).
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may conflict with modern Oblivion mod setups or patches.
- Small scope: only affects Wayshrines, not a major overhaul.
For Oblivion players who want to breathe new life into the often-ignored Wayshrines, with both visual flair and more useful blessings. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive gameplay overhaul or if you're running a heavily modded setup that might conflict with old mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, manually place the files in your Data folder and ensure it's not overwritten by other shrine mods.
- Check if you have any mods that alter Wayshrine locations or effects; load order might matter if you do.
- If you use a mod manager, install it and let it manage the files to avoid conflicts.
