Help setting up FundamentnGCD

Post » Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:01 pm

Hello all. I started playing Oblivion back in April and quickly discovered the world of Oblivion mods. So I read up on OBMM, Wrye Bash, TES4Edit, and a seemingly endless amount of information.

Eventually I decided I wanted to play using FCOM with the goal of playing a very long, epic game. This meant I needed a slow leveling mod.

I started the game using the Level_Rates_Modified_x5.esp from OOO. It has worked fairly well as I'm 23 hours into the game and have only reached level 2 and am 30% of the way to level 3. However, I noticed a few skills were raising too quickly, particularly Mercantile. So, I tried using Smarter Mercantile Leveling on the most difficult setting, which addressed the issue with that skill. Then Gekko64 pointed out Fundament and nGCD to me as better alternatives.

At this point though I am hesitant to use them because I am confused about the ini files. I'm also concerned that if I remove Level Rates Modified and Smarter Mercantile Leveling and use Fundament/nGCD that it will corrupt my save. Is that a valid concern?

I'm hoping some of you can help me cut through the learning curve. I would appreciate any suggestions on ini settings for Fundament/nGCD to achieve the EPIC kind of game I'm shooting for. This forum has been very gracious to help. Thanks for any help with this one.

Well, if you want to slow down leveling a lot, you can go into the "Bundlement -GRC.ini and change set fdGRC.SlowdownInitial to something higher. I have it set to 5x slower leveling.
; "Initial" values are the multipliers for a new character.set fdGRC.SlowdownInitial               to  5.0
There is a GRC OOO version of that ini that you should probably use instead since you're using FCOM. I'd assume doing the same as above would work the same, but since I don't use OOO I can't guarantee that...

Also, in the "Bundlement.ini" you'll want to uncomment the different modules
 set fd.File to sv_Construct "[b]Bundlement - GRC (Oscuro's)[/b]" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - Magic Prices" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - Racial Talents" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - VA Armorer" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - VA Marksman" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - VA Melee" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - VA Mercantile" setstage fd 1 set fd.File to sv_Construct "Bundlement - VA Spells" setstage fd 1
I made the OOO part bold because you'd have to change the default to what I bolded to use the OOO version of the leveling.

Tejon would be a much better person to answer than me though. Maybe he'll show up soon...
