http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/43120/?

http://obse.silverlock.org/
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/16622/? -- technically this is not a requirement, but will be helpful in reading dialogue

Installation
========================================================
0. Delete old resource pack that was hosted here before release. I've decided to use only 1 bsa archive for all resources, not 2, so old file is deprecated.
1. DL all prereqs and install them.
2. DL main esp and dump it to /data
3. DL resource pack and dump it to /data
4. LOD quads, 3 ways to deal with them.
a. I have generated them and put them into BSA archive. They should work right out of the box.
b. If they don't -- they are provided as separate download
c. The best way -- generate your own LOD quad meshes and textures with http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40549/?
5. Run tes4lodgen .
6. Don't forget to do #9 from TWMP Hammerfell installation guide to remove floating trees over Hew's Bay
