Coffinbag's Better Vanilla Potions and Poisons Modified 1.0m
Forum thread: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1510283-relz-mods-modified/

Required: Shivering Isles DLC
Recommended: Wrye Bash as it merges changes from many mods that you may have, that alter potions in one way or another, so that you can have those changes along the new look.


DESCRIPTION:

Potions with unique look depending on their quality and effect.

I liked Coffinbag's Better Vanilla Potions and Poisons, which itself uses some of the jbvw fine meshes and textures from Alluring Potions, but I wanted all the bottles to be a bit less fancy, acceptable even for warriors, so I changed it, along with few other things. Now the difference in grades is the colour of the bottle closure, not the shape of the bottle. Original mods are not required.


CHANGES:

Version 1.0m:

- added missing bottle neck textures
- changed all meshes to be like Grade 1 bottle
- changed all textures of bottle closings to be dependent from grade
- changed all icons to be like Grade 1 bottle with different bottle closures
- changed Alteration to use poison texture but with Alteration colour (used distorted Restoration texture before)
- changed Illusion to more greenish colour (fade-out green, like in Morrowind, and in the UESP.net on the bottom of Illusion school page)
- optimised some textures using Optimizer Textures from http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/42116/?

Location
========
No new items were added.

Details
=======
This mod changes the models of the vanilla potions depending on their Quality(Weak, Standard, Strong) and Effect(Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Mysticism, and Restoration). The idea was to make the Potions and Poisons more unique and colorful, while still having them easily recognizable.

1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

Upgrade
=======
Only one version at the moment, so don't worry about this.

Incompatibility
===============
Wont work with anything that changes the vanilla potions/poisons' Models and Icons. ...Duh...

Might add Future updates to include Overhauls that add lots of Potions/Poisons to the game if this mod is well received by the community.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
None known, if you find one let me know and I'll fix it.. :D

History
