📋 About This Mod

This is an overhaul to the birthsigns in Oblivion. My previous mod I slightly tweaked them keeping it more inline of the vanilla game with just trying to make the bad ones more viable, where as here I have completely overhauled them and created more diversity. Many thanks to @NicaiDuerr for the ideas as 99% of the changes were his ideas.

If you are not a fan of the major changes in this mod you can check out my other Oblivion Birthsign rebalance mod here!

Manual Install:

Drop BirthSignOverhaul.esp into Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion

Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data and add

BirthSignOverhaul.esp to your plugins.txt (Or use a mod manager ez pz)

- Anyone getting the NL text error needs to download NL-Tag Remover.

- If you get an issue with missing powers on your current save try using the console command showbirthsignmenu and select/reselect your birth sign. I have a save at the sewers and I personally have not had to completely restart the tutorial.

- Some people are having issues with Feather passive not working, Feather does not work as a passive ability and instead I had to make it a

permanent disease. Some people are saying it works but only gives +4

feather. If this is the case I suggest trying the mod by itself because I

have had no issue and could be a mod conflict.

Changes:

(Just a heads up anything you see with +Health is actually + Endurance until I can figure out why Fortify Health doesn't work on passive abilities, I do plan to go back to flat health for better late game balance if it is fixable.)
