Mod Detectives 116 : IV - Oblivion

REQUEST: I have Lineage Elves 2 and I use Male full body V5 and I was wondering why I can't use the Roberts Seamless Male extra's in Lineage elves 2 folder. When I do my guy's neck doesn't look very seamless. Can anyone who knows what im talking about help me?

Neck seam is always pain in the a**. You cannot eliminate it completely, even with matching textures and fine tune of tone sliders.

**The body texture can include face texture; so one texture will wrap around the whole body, including head. However, you'll have to remap head mesh to do that, and it can cause new problems.

I remember seeing a mod a while ago that made it so when you hit an enemy, numbers sort of fall out of them showing you how much damage you hit (like in Borderlands sort of). Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Something like these?

I know this isn't a mod but I was wondering what the best load order is for Midas Magic, Fearsome Magic, Supreme magicka, and LAME was? (and yes they are all compatible) Thanks to anyone who knows!

While I don't use Fearsome Magic, here is my load order, containing MM, SM, and LAME...

Keep in mind you need ++ bgMagicEV_Conjuration_for_Supreme_Magicka.esp [Version 1.5] after your SM mods. I THINK you can load SM before LAME (all the mods that have "bgMagicEV_..."), all depends on whether or not you want to use the stats from one mod or the other. I prefer SM, so I load that after LAME. Note I also have ++ bgMagicShaderLifeDetect.esp [Version 1.68] and 5C bgMagicLightningbolt.esp loaded after SM.

Short answer: use BOSS and manually load whichever magic overhaul's stats you want to use AFTER the other magic overhauls.

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to find a good Bow Sway mod for my baby wood elf archer. I'm currently using Adrenaline Fueled Archery, but BOSSing my load order gives me the message:

Adrenaline Fuelled Archery- Bow Sway.esp
. Note: Old version. Consider updating to v2.

For the life of my, I can't find a v2 anywhere. Did the name change, or is there another bow sway mod which I should be using instead?

Does anyone know the major difference between Quest Award leveler and Quest Award leveling?

Ok this may be a stupid question but...My world map is acting weird in that the city icons are all messed up and the imperial city icons are down by skingrad etc. I am using http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26329, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1088880-elven-map-compliation-1-2/page__hl__vargr and http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26389

I am pretty sure that the problem is Map Marker Overhaul but I wanted to make sure. I know that merged maps and map compilation 8 are compatible. If there is a way to install and use all 3 that would be great.

Scathe was it! Thanks a ton!

Also, I am looking for armor mods that are similar to http://tesnexus.com/downloads/images/30804-1-1270067434.jpg, as in somewhat skin-tight around the torso and hips, but loose around the forearms and legs.

» Wed Aug 18, 2010 2:42 pm

One of the main perceived weaknesses of Oblivion (for me at least) is the lack of cool magic loot. Is there a mod that adds solid magic loot you can gain when killing just about anything?

It's kinda similar... :shrug: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19757

And if you want larger briasts like the pic you provided overwrite with http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22959

Also maybe http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28938?

thanks!!

Really? None of the mods mention anything about bow swaying and neither does the readme. Is it just part of AFC v2 Core.esm?

Firstly you probably should have made your own thread to look for a fix and if you have stirk installed it does that (I know from experience) and there is a fix for it on the map compilations page you mentioned if that is the case if not I'm not sure.

On an different note has anyone ever recreated the "netch adamantium" armor from the morrowind mod?

weird too since I was considering downloading that mod anyway.

I'm looking for some clothing/armor for a female redguard. I would like it to be pretty and it can be revealing (though I don't want anything [censored]ish). It also can't require any body improvement mods. Also, if it's clothing it would be best if it wasn't some fluffy dress that covers half the room.

The problem is NOT due to Map Marker Overhaul, but due to using a map that is not the same dimensions as the vanilla map - which is added by one of your other mods. But if you look at the last couple of pages of the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1109315-relz-map-marker-overhaul/, you'll find one with the same problem - and how to fix it.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I don't use bow sway so I never really paid much attention to it.

If you try it out and it doesn't include the Bow Sway, I see no harm in simply using the Bow Sway mod from the earlier version... I would think it's safe to say that the bash notes about updates are there to notify you of an updated version and to upgrade if you're experience problems/conflicts. If you can use the earlier version with Bow Sway with no conflicts then I don't see why you can't use that and ignore BOSS.

Also, still wondering about that dungeon mod. Is there one that exists that adds literally hundreds (or very many. I will take as many as I can) of levels to explore? Assuming each level is tougher than the last but with greater rewards?

Not that I know of. I know Morrowind has a mod that adds loads of randomly generated sections to dungeons, but I've never heard of one for Oblivion.

I know you can use MMO with any map without problem, but how does anyone use two replacement maps at the same time? Or is your entire problem arising from using the maps from one with the esp from the other?

Duke Patrick's combat archery. There is a thread here on the firums, and the mod itself is on TesAlliance (NOT Tesnexus).
