Collector's House

[myratdt]

I really plan to do this myself but am a real newbie at modding so it might take ages before it gets done. I want to role-play as a collector in my game and I need a house made especially for a collector. This means it has many large, really good, well-lit rooms with various types of display cases for various items. For instance:

 

- a room with empty bookshelves. The bookshelves have an index of all the skill books and regular books in the game. When you insert a book, it is instantly placed in the bookshelf and its name gets deleted from the list. This way, you know what books you need to look for to finish your collection. There should also be a separate bookshelf for books from mods that you need to put in yourself.

 

- a room for displaying armor (something like in the ArmoryLab, but much brighter and better designed)

 

- a room for displaying weapons

 

- a room for displaying clothes

 

- an empty garden that has labelled containers or plots for all the plants that can be found in the game, and which gives the player the ability to plant in it (much like the gardening mod).

 

other rooms for other things that can be collected in the game. You get the idea. I really, really hope somebody can beat me to it because it's really going to take me a while before I can get the hang of this.

This is probably one of the best house ideas ive heard!!! sounds really good i love collecting items in Oblvion bt never have enough room!!! i hope this gets done!!!

Thanks. I really want to get this done. Really hope somebody experienced in coding could eventually give me a hand though. For now I'm going to start from scratch so good luck to me! :wink:

I am making something like this, including my newborn model skills =D

I sppose i could get it done in like a week or something

[myratdt]

Wow thanks. If you can do it in a week then I'm just going to wait for your mod heheh. My idea is that I want something well-lighted and clean, something like a museum, not a castle dungeon-type thing. I probably will still attempt my own mod but it's going to take me ages, I think. I want something not entirely lore-friendly but that will really show off all of my collection well. Rooms with lots of lights, windows, plants. Really something like a modern museum.

 

The only things that really need more advanced coding here are the book shelves and the garden. For the armor, you only need a big room and a lot of mannequins. You just need to arrange the room very well. I personally don't like the arrangement and the lighting of the ArmoryLab. I also want to create new meshes for better display cases, ones that will really show off well my weapons collection and collections of other stuff.

Wow what myratdt was describing was just what I was looking for! I loved the Ravenloft mod from Morrowind and was looking for something similar for Oblivion, but with more display cases. I like collector mods like the Oblivion Card Collector mod but I never have enough space to show everything off. Please make the mod(Since I suck at modding :'(. )!
