Nov 2020 is shaping up as a Micheal Moorcock month for me. So far I've read the following, followed by completion dates: The History of the Runestaff - The Jewell in the Skull, fifth read, finished 02 Nov - The Mad God's Amulet, fourth read, finished 03 Nov - The Sword of the Dawn, fourth read, finished 07 Nov - The Runestaff, fourth read, finished 08 Nov The Chronicles of Castle Brass - Count Brass, fourth read, finished 09 Nov Short as each of Castle Brass' three volume are, none come close to 200 pages, I'll likely finish the series before Andrjez Sapkowski's The Tower of Fools arrives this Friday. Assuming I don't enter a reading slump. As to Moorcock, his various Eternal Champion series and I go back a long way. They are among the earliest 'fantasy' novel I read after becoming hooked on the genre during the mid 1980s. At their best, they're fun, quick reads. Taken as a whole, the concept of the Eternal Champion, the Multiverse, The Conjunction of the Million Spheres and so on much to recommend. Individual books are less impressive, though some are quite good. Those who play Bethesda's Elder Scrolls titles know that Moorcock's writing influenced the games, they being popular with several of its creators.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about these matters will clime in with better input. First thing I notice is that Oblivion (and Steam itself) is installed under Program Files. Installing games under Program Files is normally frowned on, due to the limitations Windows imposes on that directory. Whether doing so has a direct bearing on your particular situation I do not know. Are you installing AWLS via its Wizard? Also, have you tried selecting one of the alternative choices for texture(s) in question?

Thanks for this! I once knew how to post a "user" image here, but couldn't for the life of me remember how when I went to do so this morning.

I can't offer any profound insights as I don't use many of the mods in your lineup. What sort of mods, if any, do you run that require no ESP/ESM? OBSE, I hope? Oblivion Stutter Remover and the like? An ENB or ENBoost? is Oblivion.exe tagged for 4gb memory usage? Is the game istalled in the Program Files directory? (It's best to install it elsewhere.) You say the game runs without the Bashed Patch enabled? Do you know if everything that can load without the Patch "is" loading?

A simple question with, hopefully, a simple answer: I would like to know the mod that provides the flattering yet not trashy off-white dress with complementary head piece seen in a screen capture of Claudette Perrick about halfway through the "user uploaded" images for the mod Oblivion Character Overhaul. (I messaged the poster, but have not yet received a response.) Thanks for the help!

Wrye Bash can check for and remove what it considers bloating. How sophisticated it is I do not know. Worth a try. If you do try it, back up that save first! Wrye Bash can also check for and repair the a-bomb, though so far as I know that glitch doesn't keep saves from loading...not for me in any case. Did you improperly uninstall any mods recently? Some (not many) require special handling during the uninstall process. Double-check the mod's documentation if in doubt. Correct load order? Do you heed BOSS cleaning flags? Sorry, just fishing here. You don't provide a lot to go with. Including your load-order might help.

Greetings, A question regarding the upcoming site makeover, and forgive me if this has been addressed. One thing I really really like about the current design is that it takes full advantage of wide-screen monitors (and standard width too...I use both). Sadly, the link provided to show off the upcoming design comes out, for me at least, as standard width on my wide-screen monitor, surrounded by lots of dead space on both sides. Will this be rectified before final implementation? Thanks in advance!

For a variety of reasons I never participated in the old rating system. This new one seems, to me, at the very least a step in the right direction. That said, I think I might have just thought of a flaw. I did not notice this particular potential issue mentioned, so please forgive me if I overlooked it. In any case... I am not a premium member, so have to use the slower (capped?) servers here. I've no problem with that. But, it can be impractical with very large mods (mostly grand quests with tons of new visuals and the like). What I do then is use the MIRROR tab (or sometimes a link embedded in the description tab) when available, and DL from a faster site. But that of course means I am not DL'ing from Nexus. This in turn, if my interpretation is correct, means that Nexus has no way to know that I have indeed DL'd the mod, so can not rate it. If this be true, then there's a chance that it's intentional, or at least seen as a lesser of evils. I suppose I'm okay with that too. Yet at the same time it seems sort of unfair to not allow ratings of mods simply because they are acquired elsewhere. As mentioned, I might be reading this all wrong, or this has already been addressed. Additionally, I fully understand and support the reasoning behind insisting that a mod be downloaded and tested before rated. And sadly I have no ready solution (if such exists). Still, I thought it best to mention it in case it slipped through the cracks. Thanks for the ear!
