[RELz] Shezrie's Towns

[Shezrie]

Wow, it has been a long time, 3 years exactly since I started this project, but here it is finally....

This mod does not follow lore!

Edit - Dec 4th, I have corrected the missing sound files, please download the new Sound Files. They are on TesNexus now. I actually lost my original credit list so if you are supposed to be there let me know and I will correct.

This mod requires Elys Universal Silent Voice There is simply to much dialog to do individual silent voice and lip sync files.

THIS FILE HAS BEEN CLEANED WITH tes4eDIT. This mod has five towns......

LAKEWOOD VILLAGE

================

10 building town near Mackamentain. There is an inn, a general store and two buyable player houses. There are some asthetic changes to this town including vertex shading, a new balcony, new signs.You can now rent a room at the inn.

RAVENVIEW VILLAGE

=================

Some small fixes and asthetic changes including vertex shading and new signs. This town has 14 buildings with an inn, a general store and two towns. There are two player houses, one buyable and one obtained through quest.

WOODLAND VILLAGE

================

Some small fixes. This town has 27 buildings with an inn, a clothes store, an armor store, a bakery, a town hall and a buyable player home.

HAVEN BAY

=========

This small town is located in Valenwood, it contains a shop, an inn, street merchants and a very unique buyable player home.

PELL'S GATE

===========

This is the largest town in this mod and has the most to do and see. Some 30 buildings. This is a town created for thieves with enterable windows, hidden safes, stealable paintings, openable chests, dark alleys. You will have to search carefully though as Pell's Gate residents hide their valuables carefully.

In the town there is...

A Town Hall

A Gallery

4 buyable player homes (3 apartments and a town house)

A clothing Store

An Armor Store

A Book Store

A General Store

Alchemy Shop

A Fence

Street merchants

A posh Hotel

Two further inns

New dialog for almost every NPC

Houses with exterior views.

An upper level street

A lower level street

Two main quests and some other things to do.

Some Important Info

===============

You MUST be out of the Gallery by 7 pm, as the receptionist and the curator will tell you. After the theft security was heightened and the guards will attack on sight and not stop to ask why you are there.

You cannot access the security room in the Gallery during the Quest to Find the Septim Crown. This is to prevent you from robbing the Gallery while you work there.

You cannot access the security room during the day until 7 pm. This is to ensure you have to do your robbing the hard way.

Quest to find the Septim Crown

==============================

This quest takes place within the Gallery. The septims crown has been stolen and you have a chance to help find it. To start this quest you need to read the latest newsletter about the theft. This can be found in the newspaper holder right outside the General Store. Once you have read that you can go to

the Gallery and speak to the Curator, she will be in the main Atrium in the afternoons. She needs to like and trust you before she will offer you a position on the Gallery staff, as her secretary. Once you have the job she will give you a key and you can access the staff areas of the Gallery, including your own office. On the desk of your office you will find further instructions and also instructions on where to find a complete ingame walkthrough if you are having trouble. PLEASE NOTE, this quest has no journal updates. This is a 'whodunnit' quest to find the thief.

Suggestion - When you get a new note in your office pigeonhole, remove it. Otherwise it can get confusing as the notes build up.

Quest to Rob the Gallery

========================

PLEASE NOTE, you cannot start this quest unless you have completed the previous quest, 'Quest to Find the Septim Crown'. You found the crown and saw the goodies in the Gallery and would like some of those for yourself. Go to the Cloak n' Dagger Tavern and speak to Gramak, the barman. Follow the dialog and after go speak to that grey hooded man sitting in the corner beckoning you over. He has a proposition for you.

NOTE - You need a very high sneak skill to do this quest.

NOTE - You can only access the security room in the Gallery at night, this was put in place to prevent the player from robbing it during the day. In order to make it more difficult.

Hints

=====

There is so much in this mod that even I have forgotten. Search everything very carefully or you will miss things. Activate everything.

*SAVE OFTEN! You can die in some unconventional ways in this mod.

*Toilets are flushable and sinks useable.

*Check the news bill boards outside the General Store often. When the news changes check the news stand and grab the newest Black Horse Courier.

*If you buy a house with curtains, there is a pull rope to one side to open and close them.

*The windows in Seaview House are openable.

*Very rarely in the houses with exterior views, it may be snowing. Just leave and then reenter the cell.

*All front doors on the player's houses are lockable and unlockable.

*Examine paintings very carefully.

*NPCs hide their money as safely as they can, be on the look out for purses of money hidden in houses.

*In the Egyptian Display in the Gallery, be sure to read the book in the display case as it contains answers to some important questions.

*At the end of an 'important event' characters dialog can change to reflect it.

*Be sure to read books as there are quite a few.

*There is some three way dialog.

*The ELm Street Apartment is bigger the you think. Take a very close look around it.

*Some windows can be entered.

REQUIREMENTS

============

This mod requires OBSE and ELy's Silent Dialog

Shivering Isles is NOT required

CONFLICTS

=========

This mod conflicts with....

The Lost Spires, I am working on a patch

UL Cloudtop Mountains, Ravenview Village conflicts with this. The UL had a patch for it, hopefully we can get it updated.

INSTALLATION

============

The file is split into two, the main part with ESP, meshes, textures and the second file with the sound.

A never fail method I now use is:

Download to Desktop. Now unzip to Desktop (Download ZipGenius for free off the net if you don't

have a program to unzip)

Open My Computer/Local Disk (C:)/ Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion

Then click once on Data Files to highlight it

Minimize size of screen to allow you to see the extracted files on Desktop

Drag each extracted file (ESP, Meshes, Textures, Sound) and "Drop" onto "DataFiles"

A message will come up for each one, just click "yes to all"

Start up Oblivion

Go into Data Files

Click the box to the side of "Shezries Towns" to activate this

And off you go.

Voice Actors

Greenwarden - hotel ghost

Voice of Marco: Phillip Cook aka Chibi0roxas on TES Alliance

I took the liberty of using the icons from Crown Jewels for some goblets and items from other modders. If I have left anyone out, please let me know and I will correct.

USAGE

======

Do not plagerise this work or combine and upload with other mods.

All new stories in this mod are copy write to Sherri Smith or their respective authors. All voice acting is the property of their respective owners,

Greenwarden and Phillip Cook aka Chibi0roxas and may not be reused without their express permission.

This mod is a work in progress, I will be adding to it for a long time to come so DO NOT give permission for it to be reuploaded or modified in any way.

Sorry, but I see no reason why I should have to complete with someone elses modification of my own work. However if you wish to create an addon mod that requires Shezrie's Towns, please contact me on the ORE or Official Forums and we can discuss. I cannot and will NOT allow adult addons, especially as I run a PG website where this mod will be hosted.

All resources are property of their respective owners and you must apply to them or their readmes for permission to use them.

If there is a resource you wish to use that is not listed in the credits, I made it. I am happy for people to use the retextured resources I made freely, with credit. However, some of the resources I made were made using other people's textures and meshes. So if you wish to use them contact me so I can identify the resource and let you know who, if anyone, you need to credit in addition to myself.

Finally

=======

I hope you enjoy this mod and take the time to explore thoroughly. There is one thing in particular I would love to hear from you, did you get lost in Pell's Gate? The reason I ask is because I got lost for a long time and if you did then I have done my job in creating an interesting, diverse town.

There is much more I have planned for the mod....

Pickpockets

Dialog for the other four towns.

Pickpockets and more thief presence in Pell's Gate.

A long 'whodunnit' quest for Woodland Village.

Travelers between all five towns.

Another town, cause why not.

Expand Elm Street in Pell's Gate.

Voiced dialog for the Gallery Curator. (I have the perfect voice actor in mind)

The Blood Brotherhood quest line.

And much more......

Have fun!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Shezrie, you've outdone yourself here.

My only gripe is with the addition of these two new towns, I can't pick a favorite here

Can't wait for any future updates!

[Cydonian_Knight]

I'll say it here too, congrats on the release Shezrie! Can't wait to check these towns out, they sound amazing. Nice job sticking with this all 3 years.

[Shezrie]

Thank you!

I uploaded a new ESP with some fixes.

[Fiery]

Has this been deleted from the nexus? I can't find it. Or has been been loaded up elsewhere and if so can you please provide the link?

Apparently that happened several years ago. Searching on her username on Nexus yields zero results as well.... She hasn't been here for several years either..... I can't find a download link for the file anywhere. They all lead to Nexus, which shows deleted..... You could *try* and PM her here on this site, but, I wouldn't hold my breath.

[LeftyScaevola]

Shezrie intentionally deleted all her Oblivion and Skyrim files.

And, I believe she deleted her Nexus account.

She may still have accounts elsewhere (I know her YouTube account is still up)  but I doubt she will respond to any messages or requests.She
