About this mod

Re-upload of Regent Eagle\'s mod. One hundred years ago one man built a small cottage under a big redwood in one of the the Great Forests of Cyrodiil. The years past and that one guy assembled a thriving market with help from a few friends. After only previously being open to private shipping trades the market is now open to the greater public.

The Great Forest Market 1.3
by Regent Eagle
edited and uploaded by Lyss

Now requires Shivering Isles.

The original readme (unedited) from Regent Eagle is at the end of this document; refer to it for the details of the mod. The changes that I've made are as follows:
1. GreatForestMarket.esp has a dependency on both Oblivion.esm and DLCShiveringIsles.esp.
2. GreatForestMarket.esp has been cleaned using TESEdit, and 3 wild edits removed.
3. Textures which were virtually identical to ones in the DLCShiveringIsles - Textures.bsa have been removed.
4. Meshes which referred to the above mentioned textures have been edited to refer to the DLC textures.
5. Some quest topics were edited for spelling/grammar/punctuation/word choice.
6. Buying the house will increment the miscellaneous stat for houses owned.

No other changes have been made at this time. If any issues are noted, please let me know. I've gained greater understanding of the tools, but I can't guarantee that all the changes which needed to be made have been in regards to the textures. The meshes which are identical to ones from the Shivering Isles DLC (except for their name) have all had changes made regarding the textures used so I can't remove or replace them without errors (as far as I know), but as stated before, the DLC is now required. If I missed any textures which are the same as DLC ones, let me know.

My additions to the credits already found in Regent Eagle's readme:

Bethesda Software and all of their past and present employees who have worked on anything relating to TES IV.
Regent Eagle-for giving me permission to make his mod available again.

1a Description

One hundred years ago one man built a small cottage under
a big redwood in one of the the Great Forests of Cyrodiil.
The years past and that one guy assembled a thriving market with
help from a few friends. After only previously being open to private
shipping trades the market is now open to the greater public...
==========================================
1b Features

The market is a decent size for a village and offers street-
traders and indoor traders selling the things your character
needs to get by in the world of Cyrodiil.
That is not all though as you can relax and set-up your own
market stall, take part in many, many quests, use the many new
weapons and ingredients among many other new things on offer.
If you like the market and want to set-up home there you can!
Just go and talk to Dearon in the local bar and purchase a home
above the market as it has its very own sky-walk!
When you feel at home you can even go for a swim in the local
spa with some of the other residents and give your athletics skill
a boost.
The interiors are very detailed and reflect the npc's personality
and what they do. The exterior is also very detailed and you can
actually feel like you are traveling through a life-like market that
is in touch with nature and its exotic plant life.
The odds here are not against thief characters as well. You can
use ladders to climb through windows which are always locked,
but are leveled to make it easier for you to make for that perfect
night of looting.
The environment is quite interactive as well as you can pull straw from
roofs, cut hedges or explore the top of vast walls and quests will also
open up never before seen options in Oblivion.
Whatever you do and like the Great Forest market is for everyone.

============================================
1f Known bugs and conflicts

Known conflicts:

-Shezrie's Woodland Village
Fix? Yes
How? Download Oblivion Mod Manager if you don't already have it.
Open OBMM and in the list of mods click once to highlight Woodland
Village(version).esp. Then use the move down button and move the mod
BELOW GreatForestMarket.esp. You should now have no conflicts.
Thanks to member olja here at TESNexus for the solution!

-Ancient Druid Treehome? (not fully confirmed)
Fix? Unknown
How? Unknown

Known bugs:

-In the spa the big pots and vases don't have full havok, so may
behave weird when pushed over. Improved in 1.2 put still not
perfect.

- On the Sky-Walk the npc's do not have sleep packages as somehow
the game will not let them use doors leading to the same worldspace
while the player is in the region.
Even with moveto commands in scripts they still behave strange and
do not complete the sleep task.
============================================
