Details
=======
I'm a long term Frans user, and really why play Oblivion without Frans? Well, using OOO or FCOM might be why... but if you do use Frans and you'd like to use COBL you know that there are cool drops included in COBL-tweaks that would revert those creatures back to vanilla leveling.
Right. This is the solution to that problem. I've gone through all of the relevent Frans monsters and NPCs, and added COBL drops to them. You can use this instead of COBL-Tweaks.esp.
This comes in two flavors, Shivering Isles and non-Shivering Isles. Each flavor has two versions, one dependent on Frans New Creature.esm and one that only references Frans leveled creatures-items mod.esm. Use only one of them based on your Frans install.
COBL-FransCre.esp is the Vanilla based mod. Use if you are not using the optional creature pack.
COBL-FransNewCre.esp is the one that needs Frans Optional New creatures.esm.
They are archived into COBL-Frans.rar and COBL-FransSI.rar.
The COBL-FransSI is the one that has the Shivering Isles drops.
What is changed you ask?
Liches drop lich dust, Trolls have troll blood, Daedra can drop hearts and/or skin, Wraiths now drop Wraith Essence, certain NPCs will have additional moonsugar drops, and Vampires carry Vitae. And if you have the optional New creatures installed you can also find Giant blood, Guar hide, special drops in some of the golems, werewolf blood and more. The Shivering Isles version adds raw Bulliwog legs to the Bulliwogs.
Install
=======
Copy the correct esp file to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file.
(Make sure you have COBL and Frans installed first. Disable COBL-Tweaks if you are already using it)
Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the esp.
Upgrade
=======
This replaces COBL-tweaks.esp that comes with COBL. If you desire you can rename the plug to COBL-tweaks.esp
Incompatibility
===============
This is designed to override records found in Frans base .esm files. It will show conflicts.
However this is also dependent upon those same .esms so don't fret.
I don't know if this will work with other creature mods as it was designed to work with either the vanilla NPCs and creatures that Frans leveled or with his optional new creatures. I suspect the FCOM users will want/need a different COBL-tweak mod for MMM because it uses MMM creatures not Frans. However if you use FCOM without Marts feel free to try this.
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
None that I know of.
