About this mod
This is the sixth beta release (it can be considered a final but I want to leave it open to adjustments, etc.) of my mod, The Island of Saldaea. This adds two islands south of Leyawiin that contain a town of six buildings, two towers, a wreaked ship with an interior, a lighthouse, a cavern system, a stables, and an Ayleid ruin with two levels.

This is the sixth beta release (it can be considered a final but I want to leave it open to adjustments, etc.) of my mod, The Island of Saldaea. This adds two islands south of Leyawiin that contain a town of six buildings, two towers, a wreaked ship with an interior, a lighthouse, a cavern system, a stables, and an Ayleid ruin with two levels. It also has two forests and a unique teleporting system. The town includes a house for you but you have to explore the Ayleid ruin first. The town has two merchants in the larger two buildings, many NPC's, four guards, four archer guards, a dog, and two horses because at first your horse can't get there. The Ayleid ruin has some enemies and so does the cavern system.. There is a treasure somewhere on the island and a key to your own house. The merchants sell armor, weapons, and clothing. The mod should be stable as I have checked it with two companion mods, various other gameplay mods, and texture mods and it hasn't crashed at all. Still, to be safe, back up your save. As a result of a low score I received on the initial release of this mod from Woodbound Elf, I will make the following disclaimer: This is a beta release of The Island of Saldaea; this is not meant to be a complete mod until I can finish it, it is a beta mod and therefore may not give you the total satisfaction of a complete mod. The mod works well but it is not finished in some aspects but for the most part, it is finished. This is why it is called BETA.
Conflicts:
None known so far (email me with them if there are any, I will try to fix them.)
Required Mods:
None
Installation:
To install, simply extract the one .esp into your Oblivion Data folder. Then check the box on your Oblivion launcher next to Saldaea. Then play!
I don't believe there is any problems if you are upgrading, but my advice is to teleport to a safe area before installing and remove anything in the player house. I tested upgrading it and no things that I placed in the house went away and I still was able to use the same key, which was still in my inventory. If you have any problems, you may be experiencing mod conflicts that I have nothing to do with. If you have a problem, it is not my fault because I have had several people test it and there have been no problems.
How to Get There:
To get to the island initially, you must use the teleport marker in Chorrol to get to the Temple of Leya (Indicted on your world map as a mountain image. Teleport there and then go to the portal in the temple. You can't use your horse on the island so there is a horse there. When you get there you explore the town and wait for the message (at the bottom) to say that you have found Saldaea. After that you can either use the normal map teleporting or you can go though the Temple of Leya.
How to Get a House for You:
Search the gardens next to the houses for a letter on a bench. Follow the directions.
How to Get the Treasure:
I don't want to completely spoil it but you will want to find a handwritten note (a small, white, square item) aboard the wreaked ship. Follow the directions.
Notes:
This release is to determine how well my mod works and to improve upon it before releasing the final mod.
Contact:
If you would like to receive update notices or want to suggest something (I added the treasure finding mission, the new house key mission, the caves, and the guards change of armor for a person who suggested these ideas) I love to heard your ideas. Please PM or email me at [email protected].
My website (not completed) will be running soon at Link
If you have any problems, email me with a list of your mods and a description, I will try to help.
Thanks for downloading and taking a look at my mod!
