About this mod

This mod completely overhauls Benirus Manor. The changes will take effect after you complete the quest, but you can install it before you complete the quest if you want without harm. If you need to switch back to the original Benirus Manor, there is a turn switch in the basement next to the door.

Requirements:

Oblivion 1.2.0.416
All Natural

Description:
=================

This mod completely overhauls Benirus Manor. The changes will take effect after you complete the quest, but you can install it before you complete the quest if you want without harm. If you need to switch back to the original Benirus Manor, there is a turn switch in the basement next to the door. The house also has light switches so you can toggle the lights on and off.

You need All Natural installed to be able to see the city of Anvil through the windows. It isn't explicity required, but very heavily recommended. Enabling the All Natural patch included here will also get you All Natural's lighting and weather effects.

An alternate plugin is included for compatibility with Better Benirus Manor by Khettienna. Using the two mods together results in a blend of both mods.

A Cobl patch has been included to provide the Luggage, a dinner plate, water source, food larder, grinder, static apparati, and alchemical sorter.

=================
Installation:
=================

Before updating from any previous version, please move your character & your belongings out of and away from this mod's location. A clean save will be made for you automatically because the plugin name has changed.

The archive may be installed with Wrye Bash, or manually as follows:

1. Extract the archive to a temporary location.
2. Copy the contents of the "Core Files" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder.
3. Copy the contents of the other folders to your ..Oblivion\Data folder only as needed. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
4. Activate the plugin(s) in the launcher.

Note: If you use the Better Benirus Manor compatibility version, and you have All Natural, you need to install the All Natural patches for BOTH mods to get the All Natural lighting scheme AND the see-through windows!

=================
Un-Installation:
=================

In-game, use the switch in the basement to reset the original house interior.
Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

=================
Incompatibility:
=================

Any mod that edits the porch clutter of Benirus Manor might conflict, other than Better Benirus Manor, for which support is provided.

Any mod that moves the Benirus Manor exterior will conflict.

This mod uses a new cell for the Benirus Manor main interior. This means other mods that change Benirus Manor's main interior won't seem to have any effect on it, unless you use the basement switch to toggle back to the vanilla interior.
