Trading hours for Stores (Particularly in IC Market Dist.)

[Deleted2282112User]

After scouring every mod site for oblivion on the internet, i'm still yet to find one that modifies the Trading Hours for certain shops/stores.

I'm trying to find one that modifies the trading hours of most stores in the IC Market District, but have had no luck. Do such exist?

 

I'll even go so far as to mod/make one (Have no experience in modding) Would that be difficult? How would i do that?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Making the mod is extremely easy as long as you know the basics of using the Construction Set. Read a tutorial on the basics. After you know that, you can follow these steps:

 

1. Find the store keepers in the NPC list.

2. Double-click them and watch the NPC window pop up.

3. Click the AI button near the bottom left.

4. In the AI package list, find the one that controls their services.

5. If you can't tell which one it is right away, just double-click them one by one.

6. The right one is the one that has "Offers Services" checked in the AI package window.

 

Now you can just change the day/time/duration of the AI package to suit your needs, but that's not a good idea. The reason is that in all likelihood, more than one NPC is using this package, so changing it for one changes it for all. What you should do is rename the package and click OK. The CS will prompt you and ask if you want to just rename the package or else create a new one. Choose that you want it to create a new one. Then go back to the NPC you were editing, delete their original package, and put in the one you just created. You can edit this new package all you like, because you know it'll only be affecting this NPC.

 

Keep in mind that changing the schedule of one package might mess up the rest of the NPC's schedule, so you may have to change their other AI packages as well.
