Mod: Scary Tiber Septim Hotel Lobby, Version 1.2 Game: TES IV: Oblivion Author: David Brasher Release Date: 2/21/11 **************************************** CONTENTS **************************************** 1. Information on the Mod 2. Installation 3. Version History 4. Conflicts, Known Issues, and Troubleshooting 5. Copy Status and Credits **************************************** 1. INFORMATION ON THE MOD **************************************** I don't know how it is with you, but I am always finding all sorts of scary enemies in the Tiber Septim Hotel Lobby. If I don't kill all the enemies when I am in the field, or if the game glitches, then all manner of beasties and bad men end up there. (It is the default dumping ground for lost actors. If you disable a mod while in a custom cell, you become a lost actor and end up there yourself.) So yesterday as I was watching the madness in the lobby, the thought occurred to me that I should carry trends to their logical (and absurd) conclusion. Bethesda wanted the lobby to be this way, so if I made it just a bit more extreme, my mod would still be lore-friendly. **************************************** 2. Installation **************************************** Extract (decompress) the .esp file to your oblivion directory, the default is: C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data\ In your mod manager, mark the box next to the "Scary Tiber Septim Hotel Lobby" plug-in. Alternately, extract someplace else. Then move the .esp to Oblivion\Data\. Often you can simply drop the "Data" file into the "Oblivion" folder. Make sure the file goes into the proper directory it was in when you downloaded the mod. **************************************** 3. Version History **************************************** V 1.2 2-22-11 Undelete and disable in TES4Gecko for certain compatibility issues. V 1.1 8-26-10 Fixed light levels. V 1.0 8-25-10 Initial Release. **************************************** 4. Conflicts, Known Issues, and Troubleshooting **************************************** This mod will conflict with mods that edit the Tiber Septim Hotel Lobby. This mod will make the luxury hotel into the type of place you probably wouldn't want to stay at. (But then again, I don't know what kind of character you are playing.) Only the hotel lobby has changed decor and inhabitants. The rest of the hotel is not changed and should not be changed. In vanilla Oblivion, the enemies are only found in the lobby. So this mod would not be lore-friendly if I changed any part of the hotel other than the lobby. NPCs in the lobby or in Talos Plaza could be severely injured by some of the respawning things lurking in the lobby. Augusta Calidia, the desk clerk, is safe because she has become adept at getting along with all sorts of hotel guests. She even serves new kinds of food calculated to please the palates of visitors from exotic places. This is a disposable comedy mod. I am doubtful that it will permanently remain in anybody's load order. IF ANYONE DETECTS A MAJOR BUG WHICH MAKES THE MOD UNPLAYABLE, PLEASE SEND ME A PERSONAL MESSAGE ON TES NEXUS RIGHT AWAY. I WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO FIX IT AND RELEASE AN IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS MOD. **************************************** 5.
