Description
===========
This mod is an effort to add diversity to oblivion. Ever notice how theres always the same old items over and over? This is my attempt to fix that.
Added in this mod are many resources made by the great modding community of Oblivion. This adds many new weapons including katanas, scimitars, polearms,
bearded axes and more. Orcish and Mithril weapons have also been added in. Many weapons from morrowind as well, such as wakizashi's and tanto's and more
notbly the Daedric crescent are also present in this. The most note worty mod included with this is themythofstrider's wonderful Vvardenfel Imports mod, adding in
piles of armors from Morrowind. You will not find these items in a store, they will appear randomly on enemies, ranging from skeleton to xivalai to bandits to vampires.
Stats are balanced to fit between vanilla oblivion stats and OMOBS stats. Please read the plug-ins explained section to understand what each plugin does.

@ITPaladin- Curently it will only level in vanilla fashion or OOO fashion. like i said above, if you use the vanilla plugins with TIE and used Wrye Bash to merge them together you would see both, but mine would level as if it were vanilla and vanilla items would level according to TIE. I just installed TIE myself and am gonna try and make a patch for it. And yes I've got the Lore Creatures Expansion downloaded for the creatures mod.

John: Please make the creatures you are planning to add as a separate plugin to JeLLO

I want to use JeLLO for the new armor + weapons, but am not keen on adding dinosaurs (lore-unfriendly) into my game.

yes

hehe dont worry, i was already planning on keeping them separate. I'm keeping it set-up like Francesco's.

Sweet can't wait until corepc gives this the ok. I am also curious did you reduce the vertex count and file sizes of vardenfell imports? If I recall correctly one of the reasons it wasn't already in a LL format was because Themythofstrider felt that the filesizes would be brutal on machines if npc's were running rampant with them equipped.

PS: I have been waiting a long time for this release and will probably use it either way ^.^ Awsome work

i've got about as low-end a computer as possible and i'm not noticing much lag with it... i always have lag cause my machines low-end, but in combat its about the same as usual

Alright so i was searchin some modder resource lists and found these weapons resources:
http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18846

http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15698

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=45297&id=2966

Anyone have any issues with these being included?

I like them all, but the chainsaw is a bit over-the-top! Maybe only a really brutal boss ought to have it, not a bandit!

Also, the rotating mace looks unique, so again, better not added to LLs, but on a bad boss's loot only?

Like the teutonic weapons!

Here's something to consider adding: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30396

So, I have a question about this release. Are the meshes in the BSA PyFFified?

It's not that I have a problem with doing it myself, it's just that such a large amount of meshes will take some time to PyFFi and it feels unnecessary to unpack the BSA and go through it all if it has already been done.

Edit: Also shameless bump for news :celebration:
