FOMO Imperial Isles - Heart Of The Empire is a mod that truly follows the FOMO spirit, it is a comprehensive Imperial Isles region package that will greatly reduce the esp count for heavily modding your Imperial Isles and provide compatibility across the various mods that effect the region. The mod includes within itself (With permission naturally) various Imperial Isles region mods such as Talos Bridge Gatehouse, Region Revive - Lake Rumare and then provides as patch between mods that are not absorbed (Either because they are too frequently updated or they are too often used by other mods) including Unique Landscapes - Imperial Isles and Better Cities - Imperial Isles.

The mod also adds the exterior of the East Docks District mentioned in the FOMO Main description, the Artisan's Guildhall, as well as a host of changes all around the isles, from simple farmers houses to chapels to quests to Legion training grounds and much more, however this is only if you wish to have these exterior changes at all, if you do not want to worry about any compatibility issues and simply want access to the East Docks District or lower Imperial City districts there are simpler versions of the mod to install.


Currently there are four different levels of FOMO Imperial Isles for installation, pick the one that suits your load order or how much content you want.





Note: Not all of these will be included in the smaller versions, which mods  will be included in which versions is explained below ^^.

FOMO Main

Else Univeral Silent Voices
- Latest Oblivion patch and Shivering Isles

For Better Cities versions of the install:
Better Cities





- Download FOMO Imperial Isles Resources archive

- If you are using Wyre Bash throw the Resources Archive into the Installers Folder (Generally...\Oblivion\Oblivion Mods\Bash Installers) and install it, I recommend having it Higher up so it is overwritten as needed by other mods' assets.
(Wyre Bash might may mention that there are .dll files that come with the package, there are OBSE plug ins to make the games in the Goblin Gambling Den work, allow these to install)
If you are installing manually (Boo~), just extract the Resources Archive as you normally would.

- Download the current FOMO Imperial Isles Esp archive that suits your install, e.g if you want to install the Only Better Cities version, download just that Esps archive and the Resources archive.

- Like with the Resources Archive throw the Esp archive into the Installers folder is you are using Wyre Bash and install it. 
If you are installing manually extract the esps to your Data folder

- Activate the two new esps.
For example these will be "FOMO Imperial Isles Only Vanilla.esp" and "FOMO Imperial Isles HotE Vanilla.esp" for the Vanilla version of the install.

- Uninstall any mods that are Directly Integrated into the version you have chosen. Refer to the above Directly Integrated Mods for links and the smaller version descriptions for which versions Integrate which mods.

- Run BOSS to fix your load order (If you are using Mhahn's updated BOSS Master List this should work everything out for you)

Recommended: 
- If you installed either of the two larger versions with exterior changes once you are happy with the load order:
  - Run Tes4LL to generate distant landscape meshes
  - Run Tes4LODGen to generate distant objects

And... your done ^^!






Sadly the larger two versions of FOMO Imperial Isles are currently not compatible with is Roads of Cyrodiil (Naturally the Vanilla and Only Better Cities versions will still be compatible).

Compatibility Patches:
Patches for Weye area mods

Known Issues or Bugs:
Assuming the correct load order, no known issues.




This mod contains assets and the loving works of many modders other than myself along side my own works, so I can not grant anyone permission to take parts of this mod for their own mods. However if you are interested in any assets you can refer to the Credits section to see if you can track down the creators of specific content.




 

By the very nature of the project many FOMO mods are the products of work from many talented modders from across the Oblivion modding community, so my thanks go out to those who contributed ^^!
Naturally the full credits list is in the "PERMS" tab at the top of the page, however I really wanted to give a shout out to all the amazing modders of the Oblivion modding community that contributed in the main description as well.




 

While I will naturally keep and eye out for posts and messages over here at the Nexus, the fastest way to get a hold of me is to post in the appropriate discussion thread over at The Assimilation Lab forum where my released and WIP projects are hosted.

The Lab has a very active, knowledgeable and helpful modding community. If you are working on any modding projects of your own and need a place to host it, a place to get advice, assistance of any manner and/or just feedback I couldn't think of a better place to recommend ^^.
