I have already completed two of the Hearthfire Homes but when I tried to furnish Heljarchen Hall only some options appear. They are not greyed out as they would be if I were short any components, they are not there! The main hall is empty as are the upper level bedrooms. Can someone tell me how to replace the basic lists so that I can finish the homestead. Note I already did the verify local files and this did nothing to correct this issue. Thanks!!!

Regarding AFT and number of followers. When the anniversary edition opened, I had Uthgerd and Lydia with me. Lydia just disappeared. I can survive with one companion but prefer three as there are some occasions when I need eyes at the back of my head. Add to that, I like to manage their weapons and armor. While I know that they are supposed to use the best items, it doesn't always work out that way. I also like to give them various magic spells and like to have them not trip traps. I have been working not without ShyUI and while it isn't too difficult, I am spoiled. Since I bought the original game when it was released I think I may be entitled to be spoiled. I love folks like you. You make the game so interesting and I mourn the MODers who have retired or moved on to other games. I used to love the map makers on the 3D0 series of games for their creativity. I hope there are enough left here to update the MODs they have created and so keep the game fresh. BTW I am also replaying Oblivion. Best regards, Ed

And while we are discussing SKSE, I only use two MODs that require SKSE that I feel that I don't want to play without. SkyUI and Immersive Amazing Follower Tweaks. If there is a decent substitute for the Amazing Follower Tweaks then I could learn to live without SkyUI. Any suggestions??? Unfortunately I already was updated by Steam without realizing that it would be done automatically and overwriting the existing game file. Thanks, Ed

I additional quests for the KOTN MOD. There is probably no point in commenting but I enjoyed the MOD. I completed the addons for the castle but there are no mannequins in the trophy room, too bad because I brought back a ton of different armors from the past. I also have a lot from current time and would have liked to display them. I also time traveled back with the hour glass but there was nothing to do or explore. I never figured out what to do with the arrow. I went back to the island where the staves were enchanted but couldn't figure out where to stand to shoot the arrow and never saw the sun clearly at noon. At this late date I can only wish that the original author had stuck with his creation. There have been some good authors who dropped out of Skyrim as well. Usually because gamers complained about the maps. I always enjoyed exploring their creations and miss their contributions. At any rate, thank you for the recommendation. Ed

Thank you very much. I had played this game for hundreds of hours before Skyrim came out. Back then MODs were few and not of the same quality as Skyrim . Then with the Extended Edition it just consumed much of my time so I hadn't gotten back to Oblivion, though I wished that the company had somehow changed the engine to match Skyrim. But, "if wishes were horses, beggers would ride". Again, thank you for taking the time to help other gamers. Best regards, Ed

Trying to complete the pilgrimage for KOTN. The shrine for Arkay and Mara both say Arkay and that is what shows up in the notes on the quest. The id for both is 00176025. So I am not getting a completion for Mara. What do I do now??? Is there a way to alter the id for the shrine outside of Skingrad to correct this??? Thanks, Ed

The reason I went onto the Steam site was that when I clicked the "Make this Primary" a dialog box opened, see below" SORRY, NEXUS WON'T LET ME PAST A PIC OF THE DIALOG BOX. LIFE SUCKS THEN YOU DIE!!! Vortex is not opening Oblivion at all now, simply popping up the dialog box so I have to open with Steam. I prefer using Vortex because it makes using MODs easier to me. Oh well............ Ed

Soooooooooo, I never would have found that box as the screen wasn't maximized and it was at the bottom. In addition, I would never have even looked at that as at 75 years old, I expect things to work without fussing around. The note there stated that I was trying to run a STEAM purchased game through Vortex so I needed to go to "Steam>Settings>In Game" and check the box "Enable Steam Community In Game" . EXCEPT there is no check box with that wording. I looked at all of the sun-headings in Steam Settings. There has got to be a better way. I purchased this from Steam because my old game was on a DVD and the laptop I put it on is a one year old Dell gaming machine with no CD drive bay. At this point I just want to get rid of the constant message popping up saying I don't have OBSE loaded, please exit the game and load it. I get this from time to time on Skyrim, I assume for the same reason but don't want to blow away the mods there. On Oblivion, if a MOD requires OBSE, I'll live without it. Thanks for your time and patience. Ed

Don't know how to do that... Thanks for taking the time to answer...

I recently began playing Oblivion again after 10 years of Skyrim. I had never used any MODs in Oblivion, I didn't even know they existed at the time. I loaded a Weapon and Armor MOD that said it needed the Script Extender so I followed the link to Silverlock and downloaded the file witch Vortex added to the MOD page, just like the file in Skyrim and in the same location at the end of the MODs. I keep getting a message popping up that the Extender is not detected and I should exit the game to reload it. In frustration with the constant messages I deleted the MOD but I continue to get the messages. How can I stop the messages??? Thanks, Ed
