Fully compatible with and independent from "Book Jackets: Oblivion".

Requires bookplacing.esm from "Book Placement V2".


Version 1.1-a (upgrade package) - Does not include textures and meshes, as they were included in Version 1.0.

Otherwise exactly the same as the full package.


Version 1.1-b - Dependent on the default Meshes and Textures from "Book Jackets: Oblivion".

NOTE:

Default 'Mysterium Xarxes' cover from "Book Jackets: Oblivion" used for the library indexes

All other instances of 'Mysterium Xarxes' are unaffected.

Consider this if you plan to use any of the alternative covers from "Book Jackets: Oblivion".

** CHANGES IN THIS VERSION **


1.1-x - Both "Book Jackets: Oblivion" mesh and texture independant (version a) and dependent (version b) are

available for download.

A few books pointing to the wrong nif and dds files fixed.

An erroneous skill-level-increase attribute on a library book removed.

Small editing errors in Indexes fixed.





** THE REVAMP INCLUDES... **

These are the changes to Pigface's Original "Imperial City House".


HOUSE FACADE:

Turned the volume down a bit on the flora. Made it more quaint-english-gardeny!


GROUND FLOOR:

Minor redecorating.

"A Treatise on Bookkeeping" included on the bookshelf on this floor.

- Read it to learn 'bookkeeping' spells.

- 'Librarian's Lock' can be used on any movable object found in the house - i.e. clutter, food items,

books.

- 'Librarian's Restoration' can be cast on any "locked" item to restore them to their previous

locations.


PRIVATE QUARTERS:

Light and decor changed significantly.

Comprehensive library with books divided by genre and organized alphabetically by title.

Indexes provided for each genre including blurbs (Currently from 'The Imperial Library'. To be customized

soonish)

Books included in this house do not offer skill-level-increases, nor can they be used for quests.

Also included are the master alchemy apparatus. If this is too cheat-y for you, they can be easily

disabled by:

- Pressing "~" while in the game to bring up the console.

- Clicking on the item you wish to get rid of and then type "disable".

Plenty of storage to organize your belongings into!


BASEMENT:

Minor lighting adjustments

First landing redecorated with easy-to-access shelved storage chests.

Replaced that door to the training room, so it shouldn't be all wacky anymore.


TRAINING ROOM AND MEZZANINE:

Minor cosmetic changes only.


With the exception of some editing of the NPC journals found in the house, no other substantive changes have

been made to Pigface's original mod, including the mini-quest at the start.





** INSTALLATION **

(for both versions)

1. Make sure you have bookplacing.esm.

2, If you are installing Version B, ensure you have "Book Placing: Oblivion" default meshes and textures in

their default directory.

3. If you are currently using Pigface's "Imperial City House" mod, or "Imperial City House Mod Revamped"

*** STOP and read the notes below before continuing. ***

4. Unzip, the zipped file.

5. Drag and drop the folder marked "Data" to Bethesda > Oblivion (the place where your Data file lives).

6. If it prompts you to 'overwrite', select "Yes to all".

(All meshes and textures added by this mod are in folders labeled "YourICHBooks".

There shouldn't be any issues with them overwriting something they shouldn't.)

7. Activate "YourICHRevamped V-1.1.x" in whatever mod-manager you're using.

It should be loaded after "oblivion.esm" and "bookplacing.esm"

Neither version requires "book jackets oblivion.esm" to be activated, although it can be without causing

any problems.

8. Rejoice! For your mod should *fingers-crossed* be right to go.

Head to the South-West corner of Taloz Plaza. The house is pretty easy to recognize.

There's a note on the door...I think it's for you! :D
