I highly doubt Bethesda have done this to intentionally try and stop people from modding. There are any number of reasons why they changed the launcher. They know people will find a way around it so I doubt they'd waste the effort trying to do it. Not saying this as a Bethesda fanboy or even to try and defend Bethesda, I'm just saying logically it's highly unlikely and people should stop jumping to conclusions or thinking Bethesda is out to get modders. Considering that modding is a big part of why their games are so successful, they'd be stupid to try and stop it happening.

I think it was probably done because the number of weapon modifications and layered armour made it too much work to make sure they all rendered properly without any clipping or weird behaviour so you can probably mod it in but it may look/act a bit weird

I'd like armour like this for both male and female. Whilst the bulky vanilla armour is cool, I plan on playing a stealthy sniper and the vanilla armour doesn't really fit the idea of that character where as slimmer armour definitely does in certain situations.

that would be very useful and much appreciated :D

My brains going to break soon. I can feel it :P

Excellent :D I like how simple and easy that was to read. (Whilst I've not actually tried it so i don't know if im gonna get lost yet, it looks how i usually prefer to read things). It's 2:45am here so I'll have a try at this in the morning but thankyou for that :) The reason I ask for it all at once is because: a) It's easy to have everything already in one place than learning one bit, then asking/searching for the next and b) I get distracted quite easily sometimes and it would be nice to have multiple things to work on when i get frustrated with another bit (After looking at the construction editor for a day or two, i can tell that even though i can use the basics easily enough, its going to get quite frustrating at time :P) But thankyou again :D

I know there are a lot of tutorials and stuff out there that will teach me how to mod oblivion, I've already started learning how to use the tes construction stuff but i basically would LOVE if someone could post me a link to tutorials for things outside of that. This includes anything that will help me learn how to create skin/textures, create models, create npc's, create animations. Basically anything you could need to make a fully independent mod. Now I know someone will point out i can find these things else where but the main trouble i have is knowing which ones give me good advice and which ones are easy to follow ect. So if someone could post me ones they have found extremely helpful (and preferably in an order of use such as one that will teach me how to create a skin then a model then animating it) I would much appreciate it. The main reason for this is because i have never modded a game like this before and have absoloutely 0 experience with something like this so i would like to get some base experience and perhaps in future have a go at modding skyrim :P Oh and adult tutorials aren't a problem for me, if they teach me how to do something then by all means share the link (but please don't skip over a good tutorial for a not so good one just because it is adult :P)
