If you have no idea what this mod is then scroll down to [RELZ] RELEASED VERSION OF SHEZRIE'S TOWNS

For those that were asking, the mod is back up on Tesnexus. I combined the sound files and cleared out some that were not necessary. But the Lakewood Expansion is not in there yet. It is very near to completeion though.

One thread for it all. If you do use or have used the mod I would love some feedback if you have a moment as it will give me an idea of what areas to concentrate on in the limited time left before Skyrim comes out.

I also need to ask random things often and may as well have a wip to do it in and keep people up to date on the progress.

The current burning question...

For instance, right now I need to know if people who have used the mod noticed the three way conversation in the Gallery Cafe about who would win in a fight between an argonian and an orc. Did you notice, did you think it added anything extra to the realism or that it was neither here nor there. I need to know if this method of dialog is worth doing in the Lakewood expansion. :shrug:




[WIP] THE LAKEWOOD EXPANSION

The town has been retextured and now has:

*20 buildings including a bakery and an inn
*There are now town guards
*Willow Hall the buyable player house has now been made into an exterior house, however you still have the option to buy the original house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d0olrn_CN0
*Lakewood Cottage is now in five different versions. Choose one when you buy the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=237e0KELQQE&feature=related
*The tavern is fully revamped and chock full of NPCs, dancers, musicians and music.
*There is one quest. Seems there is a legend, a haunted house and something strange going on in Lakewood Village. Really, really strange.
*There are literally three versions of the town.
*So far there are over 200 lines of new dialog in the town.

Seaview House in Haven Bay has been revamped with far more realistic views and environmental sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v9UUYYSmtw

Epic stuff! Really like the color customizing! :thumbsup:

Thanks Darkrider.

Hmm..well I thought maybe if I start a wip it would motivate me, but I have decided that I have had enough and have run out of enthusiasm and steam. There just is not the interest anymore to justify or motivate and I feel I am wasting my time going the extra mile for a non existant audiance. I am going to release what I have done so far for the Lakewood Expansion and then move onto playing some other games before Skyrim comes out.

See you all in Skyrim. Just three months to go.

Sounds like you have places described as villages that are bigger than 7 of the 8 towns in Oblivion.

I am definitely going to download this again...once the new version is complete.AND I have regained interest in playing Oblivion. Right now, my mind is on SKYRIM and DIABLO III.

Amazing mods like this are what keep me coming back to Oblivion, keep up the good work.

I wouldn't say there's a non-existent audience. I guess people like me who appreciate good village mods were just never that numerous to begin with.
