I think there is an equipment chest somewhere in the encampment...

It is there but you have to be the right distance away and sweep your hand over the back wall of the fireplace until the cursor goes to the door icon. There is a certain amount of luck in finding that 'right distance away'.

I've had good luck with using the Speedy Deposit mod to remove corrupt items to a container (after I've removed all of my other stuff to a safe container elsewhere).

Thank you! I've been banging my head on this issue for while now. Microphone was indeed the issue! It's odd that CS needs it. It apparently only needs it for Vista. I've used the TESCS on win 2000, win xp, and win 7 without having to bother with a microphone.

All mod quests will be completed too (at least the journalled ones).

I'm also at 1920 x 1080, but I'm on a smaller screen laptop...

I went in and hand-modified the xml files for the particular menu/dialog screens that I needed to have larger, because I didn't find the "large font" large enough for my needs in some places.

Actually, Legendary Abilities requires Elys Uncapper. In that case, something has corrupted your security skill level, most likely some other mod. I've run into that with other mods and other abilities getting corrupted by a bug in a script. :(

Because you had not installed Mayu's Animation Overhaul Skeleton mod...

Thanks! You have an old version of Python. You need to download the WryePython03a bundle (which includes Python 2.6 and all the other necessary packages) from TESNexus and install it. Afterwards, I would recommend that you reinstall Wrye Bash,

Did you previously have Oblivion installed on this computer in a different location?

Secret meeting at a house near town (see spoiler). You might check out the Windfall Hints, Tips, and Spoilers Forum .

You have to create the userlist.txt file yourself (with wordpad or editor of choice) and put it in the Oblivion\Data\BOSS directory (which should exist). If you do not already have an Oblivion\Data\BOSS directory, then you need to upgrade your BOSS to the latest version.

You can buy the Knights of the Nine disk which has all but Fighters Stronghold and Shivering Isles on it on Amazon. (You can also get Shivering Isles there too.) So far as I know, Fighters Stronghold is only available through Bethesda's online store.

Do you actually have these files in this location as OBSE seems to think? The obse_1_2_416.dll and obse_editor_1_2.dll should be installed in the G:\Oblivion directory only. Either move these to G:\Oblivion or (more likely) remove them if you already have a copy of these files in G:\Oblivion already.

Find the oblivion.ini file that lives near your save games under your My Documents folder somewhere. Delete it and allow oblivion to regenerate the ini file again.

Okay, with the exceptions of KOTN and SI that wouldn't work and Battlehorn that I know absolutely nothing about because I don't have it, other DLCs could possibly be merged with their relevant patches (making sure to keep backups of the originals!!!) as long as the patch mods do not have their own bsas or voice files and the merged mod adopts the name of the original DLC so that the merged mod can use the original DLC bsa and voice files without having to muck around with them. The general reason why merging the DLCs with anything is not recommended - even with the unofficial patches - is because many modders expect the Oblivion/SI and DLC to be "gold standard" (unmodified) for their mods and they may not work with a DLC/UOP combo because the merged file changed something that the mod relied upon - it can even cause CTDs that cannot be fixed because the mod can no longer be "inserted" into the "load order" between the DLC and the UOP for it.

Dammit! I knew it! I just had a feeling that that was so! Ugh! This is what I mean by insufficient instructions! So, Python 2.5 and 2.6 are installed. Could I delete Python 2.5? Yes. Check first if there is an uninstaller in your Add/Remove Programs before simply deleting directories.

You can use Wrye Bash (I happen to like it) or TES Gecko to edit the master list of the merged mod to remove it looking to itself as a master...

I would think that KOTN DLC in particular is a bad candidate for merging with anything because it is "special" (i.e. has issues that make it extremely difficult work with or mod using the straight CS - much less doing anything fancy with). It depends on which two mods you are choosing to merge and your skill at recreating the functionality in a single mod. Yes there can be a difference in behavior - especially if there is any kind of a conflict between the two mods, or if the mods have voice files or bsa files. Usually not. (Could be larger than a scratch mod if any of the original mods were dirty.) The CS won't get it right. With TESGecko you must specify the priority (essentially the load order) of the mods that you wish to merge. Load order is vitally important when merging because the overridden records will simply not be in the merged mod file. Only the winner's (in this case, the last merged) records are kept. If any of the mods you which to merge have sound files or bsa files, you will have to modify/create/repackage those files to work with your merged mod. Much easier to avoid merging files which have bsas or voice files.

Acquire Wrye Python 03a and Wrye Bash 291 self-installer.Install Wrye Python first.Then install Wrye Bash. If you are running on Win 7 or Vista and have installed Oblivion in c:\Program Files or c:\Program Files (x86) then you are likely to have permissions problems. The obvious solution is to reinstall your Oblivion somewhere else (and reinstall your Wrye Bash with it). If for some reason you can't do that, you can try going into the Properties for c:\Python26\pythonw.exe and setting it to "Run as administrator" - it has worked for some people, and not for others.

Okay, I found a article which might relate to your problem - specifically in comparing or changing the "integrity level" of the OBSE launcher to be equal to or higher than Oblivion.exe. Integrity Levels and DLL Injection If it works for you, I'd appreciate hearing about it...

Did you install your game somewhere other than the default location in c:\Program Files (x86)? If not, you need to uninstall and reinstall to a different directory, such as c:\games\oblivion. New security features in Win 7/Vista will try to protect your game from being modded if you install in c:\Program Files (x86) or c:\Program Files.

Back in the 70's they published blueprints of the Enterprise. I don't know if that is what he is using as a base and enhancing from the show visuals or what. I'd have to dig mine out to look...

The Fighters Guild quests don't ever show up in your Quest List. That's just the way they were made. As for the Thieves Guild, you might need to increase Armande's disposition before he will talk to you.
