Frostcrag Spire with Ooo: Aurelinwae is missing !!!

I just searched this forum and the UESPwiki, and can't find any references to using OOO with the Frostcrag Spire add-on.

I finally went and downloaded Ooo (so far, it rocks!!!), but I've got this little problem: Aurelinwae is nowhere to be found-- therefore the Tower can't be upgraded, and I'm ...

Has anyone found an answer to this one yet? I am stuck in the exact same problem. I even made my character wait in the Imperial City Waterfront for like 3 days-- and nothing!

Wandering Scholar quest bug ??

I'm trying to do the Fighters Guild / Wandering Scholar quest, but the dumb bitty I'm supposed to be escorting won't walk to the daedric shrine in the cave. She takes the left tunnel at the first fork, the one that goes down to the swinging door into a tiny room-- and she parks herself there. She ...

Thank you, Codex. That's what I was looking for.

I knew it could be done, because if you go out on youtube.com and look at all the Oblivion videos, lots of people are getting all sorts of good camera angles. Fun stuff.

Vanity Mode camera zoom/rotate

I've been looking everywhere, but I can't find the instructions for altering your view in Vanity Mode. Searching at uesp wiki didn't turn up anything, though I thought I saw something out there once.

What I really want to do is change the camera angle on my character sideways as I'm running around ...

Umbra Sword and Black Soul Gems

Just recently acquired the Umbra sword. It's really sweet, and I've started using it in most battles. I've used it on NPC's, even killed a few Leyawiin guards who were trying to kill Mazoga the Orc in the castle for some reason.

The really odd thing is that my Black soul gems in inventory have gone ...

I ran into a problem like this when doing the Infiltration part of the Fighters Guild quest. The quest just wouldn't proceed!

Now that I own some houses, I find myself wondering: is there a limit to how much you can put in a storage chest?
