SanBackUp

A small beginners mod that adds some Japanese armor and weapons to the imperial isle region.


Prerequisites:
marcos armengol's Samurai V4 @ http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/5414/?
marcos armengol's Samurai V5 update @ http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/7931/?
And if you use the OOO version:
Oscuros Oblivion Overhaul 136b @ http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/15256

I've made this mod a long time ago to assist my "Satai San" avatar - see screenshots; as a starter it places a barrel near the exit of the imperial prison. In it there are some very useful items for the beginning player and directions on how to proceed. When done you will have found an enchanted light and heavy japanese armor set, alchemy sets and some weaponry.


Installation.
There is only a SanBackUp.esp file, you must have installed its resources - Marcos Samurai [and Oscuros Oblivion Overhaul for the OOO version] - for it to work but "Cethegus Utility Belt" has been removed from the Nexus so I added this in the optional files ...
If these resources are installed, put the SanBackUp.esp in your Oblivion\Data folder and activate it in your main menu [or use your favorite mod manager to do this].
To uninstall, make sure you don't have any items from this mod on your avatar before you remove the SanBackUp.esp from your Oblivion\Data folder.

The only difference between the OOO version and the old one is a pair of red leather boots you find in the starter barrel.

Loadorder [only if you are using the .esp's which is not necessary] :
Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esp [for OOO version]
samurai.esp
SanBackUp.esp

compatibility:
With all I know ...

Updates:
1.1 : modified the script on the flower bouquet "Nanny's Smile", it now works as intended :)
2.0 for OOO : replaced the boots in the stater barrel with OOO's red leather boots.

Utility belt:
Belt/Bag/Sack meshes/icons/texturing by Cethegus
Samurai armor and weapons:
Texturing, retexturing and meshes : Marcos Armengol
Red leather boots:

Permissions to use where found in the Utility Belt Readme and by Marcos personally and for OOO I forgot to ask permission but since no items were uploaded - only a reference to in the .esp - I do not think this is a problem ...



Ps.
This mod is part of a project containing 3 complementary mods aimed at assisting a "new" player.
My motivation for this project was a lvl 40 corrupt save game forcing me to start a new game with a clean install. Using Wrye Bash I can give this avatar the attributes and skills of my former lvl 40 but not the "visited" world map, spells or armor and weaponry and the intention of this project was to deal with this.
So:
Akaviri Kojima Extended @ http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40832/? gives you player homes in the wilderness of Tamriel,
ImpIsle Walkabout @ http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/41089/? gives you the most elementary Midas spells and
SanBackUp @ http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/41133/? gives you Japanese armor and weaponry.


Happy hunting
