Description:

Welcome to The Bank of Bowerstone (BoBS) Mod! This is a mod that I created for the PC version of Fable: The Lost Chapters, which tries to add a sort of banking system into the game to help with tackling a flaw in the way that Fable was designed. My hope is that some people will find this mod useful if they ever run into this issue themselves.

Unfortunately, Fable has a limit on the amount of items that it will actually show in each category of your inventory. This is mostly evident if you have collected ALL of the Melee Weapons in the retail game which is an example of a category that already has this problem and won't let you view all of those items in your inventory.

However, this problem becomes even more obvious if you have ever decided to mod the game. The decision to add even more weapons, clothing, food and misc items into the game can also lead to this issue, even if you use a mod that increases the player's inventory capacity. To help circumvent this annoying issue, I went ahead and created the Bank of Bowerstone!

It is a building that can be found in a new area on your right, as soon as you walk into Bowerstone North. The building is run by a Trader that will look after your goods. You don't receive any money for giving him the items and it doesn't cost you money to get any of your items back. Think of it as a storage system that functions like the trading system.

There is a ReadMe.Txt file that contains everything you need to know, which can be found outside of The Mod folder.

Installation:

Step 1) Extract The Mod folder from BoBS.RAR and put it somewhere else on your computer's hard drive.
Makes sure that it is somewhere easy to find, so that you can use it later.

Step 2) Revert to a fresh installation of Fable: The Lost Chapters, with no previous modifications.

Step 3) Have both the ChocolateBox and the Fable Explorer (ShadowNet) programs installed on your computer.

Step 4) Open up the ChocolateBox program. If it pops up and asks for you to sort out your modding environment, then you must press Yes.

Step 5) Once the program is open and finished loading, you must close it down. This has now allowed you to edit your game's Level files.

Step 6) Open up The Mod folder and look for the TNG folder.

Step 7) Open up the TNG folder and copy everything that can be found inside of there.

Step 8) Now paste it inside of your game's file directory. If it asks you to replace any files (which it should) then always choose Yes.

Step 9) Open up the Fable Explorer (ShadowNet) program. Once it is finished loading up, go to File and then Open FMP.

Step 10) This will ask you what .FMP file you would like to open. Go to The Mod folder that you extracted earlier and choose a file known as BoBS.FMP.

Step 12) Now go to File and then Save and Run Fable.

Step 13) Enter Bowerstone North from the gate in Bowerstone South and then go right.
