Hi i have installed OOO but the levelling system is too slow for me, as ive got about 5 hours, must of completed about a quarter of the main quest and my progress bar is only just half full and im still lvl 1! is there any way to make it a bit quicker? like changing the ini or whatever it is?

OOO is circa x3 slower than vanilla on default. It comes with different Level Rates Modified and other optional plugins to change this. Perhaps try Level_Rates_Modified_x2.esp? Another option is Progress, which gives full control over the leveling rates and requires OBSE.

is level rates modified x2.esp included in OOO? if so how do you access it?

Yes, it's in the OOO-ADD-ONS folder (that comes with 1.33 Complete).

can i find it in the data folder? if so how do you activate it or replace the x3 slower one?

Depending a bit on how you installed OOO 1.33 Complete, you should have an Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul folder in your Data folder. In this you'll find an OOO-ADD-ONS folder, with Level_Rates_Modified and some other stuff. If you still have the 1.33 Complete archive, it's there as well.

Just add Level_Rates_Modified_x3.espand make sure it loads after OOO and you should be good to go.

ok but where do i put the x2.esp file i want? (or how do i activate it)

EDIT, ok but where do i add it?

ok but where do i add it to?

and also is there a way with the console or something of swapping your major skills with your minor or vice versa?

All esp's/esm's goes into the Data folder. Use OBMM or Wrye Bash to manage the load order.

ok thanks, do i need to remove a file first or will it overwrite one?

Not sure how I can be any clearer: add Level_Rates_Modified_x3.esp from Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul\OOO-ADD-ONS\Level_Rates_Modified to your Data folder, make sure it loads after OOO.

If you haven't used any other Level Rates Modifier esp before there's no need to remove anything and nothing to overwrite.
