📋 About This Mod
After a great suggestion from HankKits over on my Lived In - Imperial Dock mod, I have successfully relocated Shady Sam! No longer is he tucked far away behind Chestnut Handy Stables but now will hang around behind the wall of the Imperial Waterfront on the Graveyard side.
In the wee hours of the morning he will stand around the graveyard specifically, then late in the evening he can be found loitering at the abandoned house in the Waterfront Slums where a few of the hamlets homeless sleep.
I may even provide a house for him in a future Lived In - Imperial Waterfront update!
Installation:
- Manually put the Relocated_ShadySam.esp in your "Data" folder, or install via a mod manager!
Conflicts:
- Will conflict with anything that changes Shady Sam's location and/or schedule!

Relocates Shady Sam from his original spot to the Waterfront in Oblivion, where he hides in a wall crevice, roams the graveyard in the morning, and spends evenings in the slums. A simple NPC relocation mod for players who want more life in the Waterfront area.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a fresh twist to a familiar NPC (122 endorsements).
- Gives the Waterfront more activity with a new schedule.
- Simple and lightweight—no extra scripts or dependencies.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one NPC, so the change is minor.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Shady Sam or the Waterfront.
- No compatibility patches for popular overhaul mods.
For Oblivion players who want to see Shady Sam in a new location and enjoy small immersion tweaks. If you're looking for major gameplay changes or overhauls, this isn't for you—it's a niche cosmetic relocation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod file in your Oblivion Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that for easy removal.
- Check your load order to ensure no other mods overwrite Shady Sam's AI packages.
