Name: Colovian Barrow Mounds Version: 1.1 Date: January 2016 Author: Guinefort1 Description =========== Adds a small number of communal barrows to western Cyrodiil Details ======= The lack of burial sites in Cyrodiil always seemed strange to me, since Skyrim and Morrowind were both covered in tombs to the point that one would walk into a burial site every five minutes. Given the cultural importance of proper disposal and care for the dead, the importance of burial sites like barrows cannot be overstated. Just how did the Colovians dispose of their dead in ye olden days? Given that Colovia is supposed to have some cultural similarities to Skyrim, it made sense to add barrow-style tumuli to the area, albeit with a slightly more Roman flair. A total of six tombs have been added across Colovia, all of which are explorable mini-dungeons. As of v1.1, the urns and sarcophagi are now lootable, but for the sake of balance, the wealth added is minimal. Expect a lot of bones and bonemeal in addition to a few extra coin. Requirements ============ Oblivion Version 1.2.0416 Installation Instructions ========================= Copy contents into your Oblivion data folder Uninstallation Instructions =========================== Delete the added contents Optional Files ============== A patch plugin, based on v1.1, is available to correct for overlap problems with KotN and Arthmoor's Roads of Cyrodiil, which moves the offending tombs to other close-by but non-problem locations. The patch is a plugin only, so be sure to overwrite the original esp with the patch version and retain the BSA. Incompatibility =============== Incompatible with any mod that make changes to the sites where the tombs have been added. Should be compatible with any Sutch mods. Should be compatible with most, if not all village mods, as the tombs are added in remote places where no villages, to my knowledge, have been added. Will be incompatible with any mods that replace rock textures, so be sure any rock texture replacers are installed after this mod. Should be compatible with Unique Landscapes mod Great Forest: Lush Woodlands. The main versions are not compatible with Roads of Cyrodiil and have a slight overlap problem with KotN. The patch relocates the tombs for better compatibility. If any more incompatibilities are discovered, please let me know. Change Log ========== v1.1: - Increased the size many of the sarcophagi - All urns and sarcophagi are now able to be looted V1.0 - Initial release Known Issues ============ None at the moment. If you wish to report a bug, give me details. If it is inside a particular tomb, tell me which one, tell me what the error is, and if possible do provide pictures. Troubleshooting =============== Feel free to come to me with questions or issues and I will help as best as I can. That said, please bear in mind that I am a novice modder and may not be able to offer much in the way of assistance.
