oh thats for skyrim lol i am talking about oblivion. I actually have a follower mod for skyrim...probably that one. I suppose I could open the construction set and make a few god items in a cell and add a teleport and place it near frostcrag spire. I don't think any mods I will be testing will touch much landscape there. Do you think a ring of chameleon will help?

EFF ? is it a mod or console command? I was using tutorial videos before I found this site

well I am still taking the classes here on TESA but haven't gotten a report for lesson 2 yet. I think Darkrider has been busy. At this moment I would mostly be doing mods that fall into the 'player homes' category and they would likely not be complex (cloud storage or anything else requiring scripts) as I would have to have someone else do the scripting. After I get done with the CS Basics I might move on to the level design and maybe other classes after that. I gotta put skyrim back on my computer though. I had to do a clean reinstall of both it and Oblivion. As for enjoying oblivion, I had played it before on console years ago, but never played it all the way through. I am still getting mods together to enhance my game though so not doing much playing right now. I got the deluxe version from steam though that has all the official DLCs. I hadn't seen those before back when I originally played it and I have been in game to look at my new homes. They look nice, but kinda empty really. I looked at all the mods to improve them but didn't really like them. I think I may just use the construction set to do my own improvements. I think if my improvements are in a separate esp instead of modifying the original it should be compatible with the unofficial patches. I am trying to figure out a good way to get into some of the restricted/blocked areas (palace, cloud ruler temple) for some screenshots of the game before I start adding the texture packs. Even if I get in though I also gotta keep the stupid guards off me so they don't get in the way of my screenshots. lol

sound interesting. I might try it when I get back to actually playing skyrim. Right now I am playing oblivion while I work on creating my mods for skyrim.

Ok I have completed your survey as best I could Some numbers I estimated on because I don't actually count my hours spent playing/modding and I haven't taken the time to count my mod download numbers. A lot of them are also resources I download for my personal use (for now, may change later). I hope it helps anyway. Good luck on your research.

I was wondering a few things before I install some more mods for my oblivion game. 1). I am using oblivion mod manager at the moment but I don't really like it that well. I do like the nexus mod manager for Skyrim and I was wondering if the nexus mod manager for oblivion was a good option. 2). I was looking to install some texture/mesh improvement mods for oblivion, but there is a bug with the landscape, and I am not sure if these will help or make it worse. The bug in question is when I am running around, sometimes my character will just start bouncing, like a rubberband effect. Every creature in the immediate area does this as well. Its hard to move to get out of it if I cant fast travel and one time I even had to reload another saved game. Turning down the grass slider bar helped sometimes but not always. My computer isn't weak by any means, and I am capable of playing games with max graphics. 3). Is merging multiple esp's for oblivion a good idea? I am not sure what the max count is for oblivion. I think skyrim handles around 200 something, but I wasn't sure if oblivion could handle that many. 4). I am making my own personal house mod (not being released) and I wanted my master bedroom with a bit of a purple theme. While I found that the kvatch bed seemed intact with only a small burn spot (hardly noticeable at all), a lot of the other stuff is just completely ruined, I can barely find any purple stuff that can be considered upper class. Some of the upper rugs seem more pinkish than purple. Is there some way I can get more purple stuff? I checked the shivering isles stuff as well. There isn't a big selection that isn't dirty and that will fit.

Anyone know how often DarkRider checks the homework for the classes? I submitted my homework for lesson 2 on the skyrim basics sometime in early april, but I haven't seen him post a grade for it yet. I can't officially move on to lesson 3 until then, and I was hoping for some feedback so I could make sure that what I repeat as practice is actually correct.

Thank you grond. I have registered for that site and I will try to get a message to her there. I just thought that since the 3 mods in question have been popular then someone might have played through with them and Vilja. I hear Vilja is popular as well. I am sure Emma has made Vilja compatible with all her homes even if she only gave custom dialogue to Vilja for a few of them, so I didn't as about those. P.S. I got a notification that you gave me reputation. Is that what 'cookies' are?

I have this question posted with the mod on the nexus site as well but I don't know how fast it will get answered. I was looking at a companion mod "Vilja". Does anyone know how she reacts to the player commiting crimes around her? Also I would like to use 3 mods: : "Shadowcrest Vineyard", "Millstone Farm", and "The Hall of Blissful Dreams". I was wondering how well she does with those mods.

Hi. I think everything in my homework is there. In some of the screenshots, it will seem like I deleted some things, but they are actually hidden so that they weren't in the way. Everything from the previous lesson is still present. The bookshelf has books and clutter and has a lute leaned up against the side. I had some weird issues when placing them. When I would try to stack them, sometimes when I pressed 'F' they would go right through the books below them sometimes. On the upstairs table, I added a downsized glazed bowl with an apple in it, a glazed cup, and a couple bottles of mead. I didn't add much more than that because,being upstairs, it felt like the table was more for having a drink while reading a book. chest container is right near the stairs where you can still get to it. All upstairs and downstairs has navmesh. The shelf under the stairs has dishes that dont look neatly stacked. This is because I used the havok animation tool to reduce the chance of things flying when the stack is disturbed. I dont know if the 'don't havok settle' keeps the others in place or not if the player takes one from the stack. The extra credit stuff has also been done. The second custom container is the dresser upstairs. The entry door has been added. There is mead on the upstairs table, on the fireplace ledge, and on the bar shelves. The only food item I found in 'Ingredient' was charred skeever hide and I put that on one of the plates on the table. I also added some food from the magic>potions section to the shelf by the bar. There is wine on the bar and on the shelves. I had to hide the food shelf and its contents to get a decent screenshot. I think that covers everything. The screenshots for this lesson are labled Lesson2 :

Hi. I have been working with the construction set and even went through the classes (not as a student, just following the steps). I have an issue with matching pieces together. I have tried varying combinations of having snap-to-grid and snap-to-angle off and on but there always seems to bee an angle turn that wont correct. I even turn it very carefully but then its off angle in the other direction. Is there a setting or something that can make rotating a piece more smooth so I can match them up better? I have included a screenshot of the render window to show the angle gap.

Ok. Thank you.

I was wondering which mod cleaning program was good to use. I have heard of Gecko and TES4Edit, but I don't know which one is better.

I think I got everything from both the main assignment and the extra credit. The 2 beds are upstairs with a floor pelt and end-table by each one. A horn chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a table in the room with seating for 2. A wall basket hangs at the head of each bed and a head mount is on the wall by the stairs. The stairway and bedroom are separated by a divider. The lower floor has a bar and shelf to the right of the fireplace. The second table with seating for 2 is near the bar. Above the fireplace is the second head mount and the hanging pelts are on the wall by the bar, the wall to the left of the fireplace, and near the doorway on each side. A second shelf is under the stairs. I hope this link works. Also if the extra credit was done and the next lesson has us add the same type of item, like a shelf or container, do we add another shelf or just use the ones added from the extra credit?
