May I be the first to say.... :celebration: :foodndrink: :intergalactic: :icecream: :goodjob: :bowdown:

... and of course... :twirl: :dance:

Congratulations, and thanks!

Thanks. This has been among my favourite content mods since v5.something (when I started playing modded Oblivion). I will definately use it with my new character. :foodndrink:

The more quests, the better. I am a huge QUESTAHOLIC.

Thanks! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Not wanting to start a new game yet having finished more than half of the quests in version 6 - is it safe to just update the mod without clean saving?

thanks

thank you so much jsera :foodndrink:

Bartholm is a constant addition in my gameworld...

Thanks for the update jsera, I'm looking forward to finally playing through this great mod

My imperial legion character cant wait to help Bartholm beat crime.

Hey, that sounds a good idea, when you finish Bartholm why dont you make a mod that lets you be a Imperial Legion guard? I mean the original was one of my favourite mods, but it has been abandoned for two years, you should make one, it will be brilliant.

when i try to enter or exit bartholm i end up stuck on a horse in the stable. can someone help me out with this.

Bumping my question two posts back.

Is there any issue with installing this after having only completed some of the quests in the previous version?

For instance my character has completed all Slartholm quests and is grand champion of the arena, but has hardly done the quests in the town itself.

Will adding this update break anything or should I wait for a new game?

thanks

I'll definitely give it some thought. Thanks for the suggestion.


Hmm. Don't know right off why that might be happening. Welcome to send me a save game and I'll check it out.



You should have no issues with having completed previous quests and updating. The only quest I have made changes to is the Siege of Slartholm. If you havent completed it, you should complete it first before updating.


Thanks again for all the positive feedback!

Oh this sounds good. I should probably check out those L4D2 maps as well!

I'm having an issue running Oblivion with Bartholm 7.0 installed. The game always hangs a few seconds after I click to load a save. I can revert back to version 6.97 and all's well.

I installed B7 by my usual procedure (for mods containing a BSA but no individual data files other than an esm/esp.)

Attempt 1:
1.) Deactivated B6.97 and manually removed its BSA (esp was auto removed) from Oblivion\data.
2.) Manually placed B7 BSA in Oblivion\data.
3.) Created an OMOD consisting of the B7 esp only.
4.) Activated OMOD.
5.) Adjusted load order with BOSS.
6.) Ran BOSS invalidation too.
7.) Cleaned mod with TES4edit (both "Remove "Identical to Master" records" and "Undelete and Disable References").
8.) Ran TES4LODgen.
9.) Launched Oblivion
10.) Hang during save load.
11.) Deactivate and remove B7.
12.) Restore B6.97
13.) Load game.... all is well.

Attempt 2:
1-6.) Same as attempt 1.
7.) Cleaned mod with TES4edit ("Undelete and Disable References" only, since this is supposedly save for any mod).
8-13.) Same as attempt 1.)

History:
I have been using Bartholm since 6.0 without issue for ages. I have not installed any "new" mods in quite some time. (I have, however, updated several mods, the latest being NR&B to 4.5.5.) Batholm 7.0 was loaded as per BOSS guidelines, in the same spot where 6.xx has peacefully resided. My B6xx esps were always cleaned with TES4edit (as described in Attempt 1, step 7) ) without problem. I have not yet tried installing B7 sans cleaning of any sort, since "Undelete and Disable Reference" is normally safe and foolproof (and found some 530 references to disable).

Oh.... if it matters my 7.0 is the full version (not the 6.0-7.0 upgrade), downloaded almost immediately after its availability announcement.

I don't see this as being load-order related or a mod conflict, since as mentioned nothing has changed other than a few individual mod updates. But just in case, here is my (very uncomplicated) load order:


Thank for the ear.
