Lost in Oblivion

[Arcelas]

So i downloaded HGEC RM natures bounty for my druid character. But after hours of searching I cannot find the items ingame.

There is no screenshot of a map, just a screen of the chest.

2 questions:

1. Does anyone know where the "little bridge at the NW end of Imperial Isle" is??

i searched ever inch of what could remotely be called NW, And found no bridge.

2. Can the items be gotten from the coc testinghall?

 

Well thx for your help.

 

off to play my barbarian (She dona bother with armor) :)

First guess. You are using Vista and have it installed in the default location.

 

Vista Problems

 

You MUST be signed on as an Administrator to do any of this.

 

If you have downloaded and installed a mod, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game And you are running Vista, you have run into a security feature of Vista called User Account Control. Or more simply, UAC.

Quoted from the Oblivion Mods FAQ WIKI

 

Alternate Install Directory

If you install your Elder Scrolls game into any directory OTHER than the default, none of these problems occur. Thus, you can bypass the Vista security issues by installing the game onto another hard drive or into a new directory that is not located within the "Program Files" root directory (such as "C:\Games").

 

Run as Admin

Another way to fix it is to right-click the ".exe" file and click properties, then check "Run as administrator". Then click OK. Do this for both the "oblivion.exe" and TESConstructionSet.exe", and any programs you are using that copies files to protected directories (such as WinRAR, 7z, or WinZip).

 

Disable UAC

Windows Vista users who are fairly confident in the security of their computers might also consider disabling UAC altogether. This will allow all programs writing privileges to the Program Files directory. Although this obviously creates a state of decreased security for your PC, it is a very helpful one-size-fits-all solution to a number of compatibility issues with the Vista OS.

 

Look here for instructions on how to turn UAC off. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...-windows-vista/

 

Of these, solution #1 is STRONGLY PREFERRED. Solutions 2 and 3 (running as admin and disabling UAC) remove important safety features of the OS. In contrast, installing Oblivion elsewhere resolves the problems with Oblivion without reducing your overall security.

Note that unless you opt to reinstall the game in a different location (option 1) when you start trying to make your own mods using the construction set, you will run into these problems again.

Thx for the info. I'm not using vista, and you misunderstood my question, but no big deal.

 

I figure once I've explored every single square inch of Oblivion, if i dont find the chest, I'll just delete the mod.

Sorry I misunderstood. There is a small wooden footbridge - not shown on the map.

 

On the Imperial Island, from the main bridge go due north. There is a peninsula off to the left (West) follow that to its end and you should find the bridge. I think this bridge is part of the vanilla game as I don't remember it ever not being there. However, there is always the chance that some mod either removed it or changed the cell where you should find the chest.

Thx alot. I'm sure I'll find it now.
