Um, odd request. Could you guys specify if the pics you take are mods or not? I'd hate to get my hopes up about how awesome Oblivion looks from the screen shots you guys provide only to learn most of them were mods. Thanks.

Awesome pics Norroen! What was the freaky land mermaid thing though? It was green and look liked a human Argonian.

Jakarius: the lamp merchant is in Corinthe

Venger: oh, sorry, it requires Elsweyr the deserts of Anequina - I thought that was given by now and you need shivering isles and some hacks.. I mean mods, to play as a Golden Saint.

Mods like Cobl Races, I think that lets you get Aureal, Mazken, Xivilai and Hidden Elves (based on Mystics Elves) to play as.

Thanks That was supposed to be a Tsaesci (hope I spelled it right). She states that in her dialogue. She also says that there is a whole city of her kin somewhere in the junbgle, but I believe it hasn't been added yet.

And here is some more stuff.

This cute little lizard helps get water out of the depths of desert land.


Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.


Desert Elven Armor
Not a bad hideout for a wanted criminal
A watchful antelope
Another shot of the antelope
And one more

My new holiday location in my favourite new country.

Come to Marabahsi Beach!
Relaxing Views
Brilliant Skies
Meet the locals!
They'll attack you!
In numbers!
And you'll have to run...
Or fight!
With geysers!
Home-made geyser FTW!
So come to Marabahsi Beach, you won't regret it!

Just walk along the coast from Duncori Walk, you'll find it in no time.

Ooooh, awesome!

I really need to go explore the deserts more. I've only focused on the cities, but I'm really eager to see what else there is, especially after looking at all these awesome screenies. Keep posting guys!

There's several mods adding Aureals, but I am using COBL - if you couldn't tell from the AWESOME hair :3

[Jakarius321]

I don't use the COBL Races myself, just the Core part of it.

[Norroen Dyrd]

BTW, Jakarius, I noticed that on some of your screenies the characters are in unusual postures. How do you do that?

[Jakarius321]

Umpa Dance and Animation

Adds a crystal ball to your inventory that you activate, then you close your inventory and the Umpa menu will appear.
You choose from quite a big library of animations for your character to display, these can be idle (poses) or animated (DANCING!)
Its just for fun and is good for screenshots.
I use it to bring life into the pics where I have characters aswell. Can also be used in conjunction with another mod I can't remember. It adds the spell Umpa Touch which lets you give any NPC any of the Umpa animations.

for example:
Here This was Umpa
Here This was also Umpa
And Here This was Umpa (and quite painful )

Was wondering how they managed to get everyone in that weird gray fox video to dance.

I thought it was just wine or something, and was very disappointed when my skingrad magicians did nothing, despite some really weird stuff they were drinking (in skingrad mages guild, they get no food/drink, so whatever you drop which is food/drink will be stolen in short order, lost some alchemist ingredients till i realised this wasnt a good place to dump stuff (i didn't have a house at that point).

That mod is hilarious! What OBSE version does it need?

[Jakarius321]

I would expect a mod like this to require OBSE but it doesn't say anything about it on the Nexus.
All it adds is Animations and a few menus, I don't think you need OBSE for that.
Nevertheless if it does need it and that screws it up for you I apologise in advance.

[Norroen Dyrd]

It works! And I am already loving it! ROFL is a mild way of putting it!
Thank you so much for the mod recommendation, Jakarius!
Be prepared for some funny screenies

[Jakarius321]

Glad to help!

Ok I've got some pics from a house mod I've made over the last 3 days or so. (is it ok to post them in this thread?)
My little sister kept saying "I want a house" I said "Buy one in a city" she said "NO!" so I said "Ok I'll make one just how you want it, I need to get better with the CS anyway."

So I started making this house.
Next to Cadlew Chapel, Cadlew House!
Near Fort Grief and Bravil
Entrance, still working on decor here
Guest Room
Still finishing here as well
The bare necessities
Library Hall
Half the Library
Ayleid Misc Items (from COBL)
More Ayleid
The other half
Treasury 2nd Floor
Treasury02
Ayleid Weaponry from COBL
Lounge WIP
Lounge02
Dining Room
View from top floor
Laboratory
Specimens
Alchemy WIP
Master Bedroom, here's where it gets interesting.
Strange plants + water
Go through the Ivy
To find your room
It has plants!
A giant Mushroom tree!
And glows bluish-green!
I've invented an entirely new interior design style.
The Basement
Viewing Area
Plates, pies and a dog
The Training area
A tree!
With Mushrooms!
White torches ftw!
Weapon Storage
Hidey Hole (under the basement)
The Muffin Man
No seriously

This started as a small project for my sister and now my character is living there. And all the purple lighting was her idea but I actually quite like it
You may not have time/patience to look through them all but I will say this.

IT WAS HER! SHE MADE ME POST THESE HERE!

And here they come!

Tired in my perilous journeys in Elsweyr, I returned to Rosethorn hall to display my tropheys and have a drink of mead. As I sat down at the dinner table, I suddenly heard strange noises coming from the Servant's Quarters. I went down to investigate... and found this
Eyia? Eyja! What is the meaning of this?!
Oh, milady, it's alright - I just thought I'd invite some friends over...
And I beheld Eyja's friends, welcoming me with open arms...
And saluting me...
Sinderion was quite enjoying himself
And so was Adrienne
Agnete was kicking... yes, you got it
And everyone was quite jolly
Too jolly for my liking, actually
Needless to say, I got nightmares after that...
EDIT: That is a good house you built, Jak Athough wouldn't the floor rot from all that water?

[Jakarius321]

Oh the horror, the HORROR! People dancing in the Basement!

[GUM!!!!]

well tell your sister GUM approves because of the gum color

[KrisCrash]

Jakarius: I've noticed I have those weapons in my folders too - so they are from COBL? But where are they in the game?

[Jakarius321]

Will do!

Tis a magic house! Realistic architecture holds no bounds in the creative part of my brain!

The Nazgul return! DANCING!
They're in my new basement
Doing weird things!
Not really Nazgul-ish at all is it?
Now I'm scared
Really scared
MAKE IT STOP!
Alright! Enough already!
Eh, that one just started moonwalking

Taking a break
Thank goodness its over

@KrisCrash The count in the CS says 0 so I suppose, nowhere. Its the same with the plates and things, just a resource, but they are brilliant models. Why don't you make a mod just to add them into your game?

[KrisCrash]

Sure can do, there are mods for them out there though, I am just REALLY wondering what they are doing in my meshes folder when they are not used :'D

[Jakarius321]

I occasionally find things in the CS and I if I don't recognize it I look at it, if it looks good and doesn't appear to break my game then I place it somewhere, Those weapons were pot luck, they come in all different enchantments aswell (unenchanted, fire, frost, shock, damage health, I think the dagger does paralyze) So you can choose from plenty of versions.

EDIT:

I was browsing the Nexus and discovered the weapons in a standalone mod See here

[Norroen Dyrd]

Yay! I found that beach Jakarius was talking about!
And J'Skar even sang a little song for us to dance to




Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
On the beach

[Jakarius321]

Beach PARTAY! I like Jskar with his guitar (oh that rhymes ) looks like fun, I must go back there, its my new holiday destination.
Now if I could just make myself a house there it would be perfect.
