Have you tried Vvardenfell Imports and its expansion? They may well have something.

I think the OP means that something was looking for data in a specific place, and because the Mac folder structure is different it wasn't finding it. However, as I'm not a Mac user, I can't really help more. Maybe message the OP and ask for clarification?

For your information, there's a size tweak for Orcs and Nords in the Bashed Patch settings someplace... Might be worth a read through the readme of the Race Rebalancing Project - I have no idea whether the author tweaked heights etc, but it would fit with other stuff he did.

A quarterstaff is, of course, the ultimate "free" non-weapon - "Would you begrudge an old man his walking stick?". And a 6 foot oak staff in the hands of an expert can take out anything up to plate armour, and can give a full plate mail wearer one heck of a headache. Add metal caps on the ends and it's even more lethal... drill and fill the ends with lead and cap them, and you're well on your way to a double-ended mace. Then you get into French style, where the staff is spinning so fast the momentum can shatter a sword blade... Monks carried them, pilgrims carried them - heck, EVERYONE who didn't have a sword could carry one. If you broke it, you cut another - probably under 15 minutes to have a replacement weapon. Faster than buying a sword, unless you live above the smithy. However, it IS off-topic compared with the original post, for which I apologise.

Edit - double post

Even a monk should be allowed a quarterstaff, I'd have thought. Cue trainers with totally white eyeballs and who call you "glasshopper"

Any dialogue taken from the original is a potential copyright problem. If, however, you can find anyone on youtube QUOTING it, you can probably get away with it.

Possible methods: 1) Belarc Advisor / CPUZ / SIW will all read your system and tell you what the motherboard is. 2) Reboot and write down the displayed BIOS string, enter it in google and cross your fingers. 3) Open the case and get a vacuum cleaner and torch.

Once you get it going, use mTES4 Manager to clone the working installation. Add a few mods to the clone - test ... clone to add more. Delete old clones as you go once you no longer need them. Far quicker in the long run - if you bork the installation, just revert to the previous clone and try again.

Remember to drop appropriate body parts as they are removed... Maybe a modifed Deadly Reflex or martial arts animation? ...and do we get the voice-over ... "It's only a flesh wound!". If so, you'll need a voice actor or you hit a copyright problem trying to extract the original audio.

Google the FCOM Superpack. Read their installation section where it covers the Bashed Patch. Pay specific attention to where it tells you to NOT check OOO files in a couple of places. That MAY help. Salmo the baker is known to cause crashes for no apparent reason - try disabling it. Also look at more up-to-date alternatives - replace the Living Economy stuff with Enhanced Economy for instance.

With a FCOM setup, there are a couple of places NOT to include OOO in the Bashed Patch build - both the ESP and ESM in at least one of them. Google for the "FCOM Superpack", read the install instructions on their forum, and use that list of settings for the Bashed Patch, and it may fix the problem.

Suggestion - mTES4 Manager lets you create cloned installs of Oblivion - you can then add mods, and if something goes haywire revert to a previous clone.

Suggestion - turn the mod into an OMOD, install with OBMM, then uninstall and it'll clear up after itself

It'll never happen as stated, because EVERY item has to be recreated from scratch - you can't legally port ANYTHING from Game A to Game B for copyright reasons.

RAM - use the largest single DIMM modules the motherboard will take - it it'll handle 8GB ones, use those. Then if you ever want more, you don't have to throw away old RAM to fit more in. Hard drive - RAID is good for speed of access and reliability. I have a system drive I boot off - because a reinstall of the OS is pretty easy, and bootable RAID is harder to get working), and my data drive is RAIDed. Check the power supply has the correct connectors - we recently built a dual processor unit at work and had to find a splitter cable to power both CPUs. LED fans and the like are very pretty, but use unnecessary power and hence add to the heat load - swap them for plain boring black o0nes for marginally less power use. Sound - I think Creative is the right choice - everything else basically copies their stuff so it's as compatible as you can get. There are specific EAX enabled drivers for some sound cards so if you play any EAX games, try and find one for yours. Airflow - replace any wide ribbon cables with the ones with the wires in a thin tube (Akasa do them for instance). Helps airflow. Be neat with wiring, and route as many cables as you can away from the main airflow path - Coolermaster cases usually help that a lot. Have fun!

Check your antivirus isn't set to "scan on file access" in the background - that's a major lag producer

I believe it is - send TheNiceOne a message if at all worried - he'll answer I'm sure.

Suggestion: (1) Buy Morrowind, add some of the great graphical mods that exist for it to make it look good by today's standards, and play it through using the three basic character types (mage/stealthy/hack'n'slash). Check the available mods, pick the ones you fancy trying, and try again. (2) Next. buy Oblivion, with Shivering isles and Knights of the Nine expansions. Buy the DLCs for it (or, if you use Steam, buy the Deluxe version from the off and you'll have them already). Add SM Plugin Refurbish to delay the DLC starts. Play it through at least once with the basic character types (mage/stealthy/hack'n'slash). Mod it to the hilt once you've done the main quest once, and play again - your playthroughs will tell you what you need to change to make it better in your own opinion. (2s) Download and install Nehrim, which makes Oblivion into a different game, in a different worldspace. Many of the graphical mods will work on Nehrim too. (3) By this stage, most of the launch bugs should be out of Skyrim (say, 3-6 months after launch) and it may be available at a discount. Also the first community mods should be out and pretty much bugfree. A good time to buy, play, and enjoy.

@JCP768 - thanks for the link. Downloading now :) . Just hoping it's easily OMOD-able.

Maybe an addition to the existing Mage's Guild, where you have to read up on a school of magic and get a certain number of questions correct before you can "advance" in each school, each time you level up? And a certain level requirement before you have access to the Guild copies of certain spells to learn them (which still allows purchase of books of spells from other sources, or finding them)

As Living Economy has been updated beyond the version with OOO, download the separate mod and install it afterwards. However, consider using Enhanced Economy instead - it has a few more advanced features and the author is still actively supporting it.

If you haven't deliberately installed a male replacer (Roberts Male is the common one), one of the Deadly Reflex versions came packaged with underwearless characters by mistake.

@LHammonds - you can tweak it a teeny bit more by making the "later" sound a few % quieter, and reducing the HF response a little. HF sounds don't travel well "around" aomething like your head, a little gets lost - and the higher the frequency, the higher the loss %. Plus it has travelled further, so a slight overall loss is to be expected. (These subtleties used to matter to me. Then I went to too many rock concerts and damaged my hearing. Now I hardly hear stuff above 2 kHz :( )

See Me Sleep perhaps?
