krimzin Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ok, this is a complex idea that I believe would be simple to pull off. If anyone has played fable or fable II, you should know that when you buy a house, you have the option of actually living in the house yourself, or you can put it up for rent, giving it to another random npc and charging them a set amount of gold. There's usually a sign or something on the outside of the house that lets you change you mind so that you can move in/rent out, and change the rent price. So, what I have in mind is that someone can make a relatively simple retex of the gray fox wanted poster with just random writing on it and maybe something like Deed of Sale on the top in visible print that can be activated at every owned house (will be added upon purchase, via altering the purchase script for each house, just labeled as initially disabled) these will allow you to move in or rent out the houses. Move in will function as the house normally does in game. Rent out, however, will spawn an NPC (One created for each house, initially disabled, scripting will move ownership to them) who will live there and pay you rent. The rent will be dependant on the house value, rather than being set by the player as this is rather difficult to do and this way works better. Scripting will determine how much the house is worth in rent, adding more furniture will add to the rent price, meaning more coins in your pocket. The money will be added daily straight to the players inventory with a message that says that todays rent has been collected. The rent can also be weekly, but I prefer the mod to keep it daily to be more like fable. The move in/rent out function should be toggle-friendly so that you can move in later if you want, disabling the NPC again and setting the ownership back to you and vice-versa. The scripting should be fairly easy, a little more intermediate, but very much doable without any OBSE needed as far as I can tell. I would do this myself, but I've got enough unfinished mods to work on at the moment. Maybe eventually there could even be a similar mod for owning the businesses in Cyrodiil. But this is a good step for right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamoba Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Fantastic idea, I allways loved the fable housing system... *remembers the days where he killed entire towns and bought every building...* Those were the days.... But yeah, i'd love to see something similar in Oblivion, even one which is the simple parts of it and none of the advanced stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krimzin Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Lol, I agree, murdering an entire town is a hoot! :thumbsup: That's why I like to mod side villages with tons of npcs so you can fulfill that need without quest related reprecussions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
