Cyrodiil Re-Loaded

Imagine Oblivion, but all of the characters have much more to say,
Where there are new quests to discover,
NPCs live more active lives,
And there are new locations to find.

Now stop imagining, because this mod can make it a reality.

A melding pot of totally original and brand new character and story ideas,
with additions from Bethesda's own cutting room floor,
Cyrodiil Re-Loaded is a game-wide content and immersion expansion.

Adding in over 50 new NPCs, 6 quests & a Black Horse Courier questline,
Hundreds and hundreds of new voice lines,
new locations, new items, new spells,
Argonian & female Highwaymen & all Highwaymen respawn,
much improved AI for some base game NPCs,
new bug fixes and tweaks
and female Imperial, male Nord and male Redguard guards with full arrest dialogue!

This mod is not any one specific thing.
It is not a cut content mod, nor an overhaul, or a fan-made patch.
It is simply a huge helping of cool new stuff to see and hear and play through.

It's a passion project made by a lifelong fan of the game to breathe more life
and variety into Oblivion's world and improve upon almost all
aspects of the game and it's immersion factor.

If that all sounds good to you, then keep reading below to learn about the new stuff in detail,
or download the mod to get stuck right in!!


(Notes: *Cyrodiil Re-Loaded has been extensively patched for optimum Unofficial Patch compatibility and stability.
*A lot of new dialogue within the mod was generated through Elevenlabs and OBVASynth, the latter of which I am slowly phasing out of the mod. The rest of the dialogue was unpacked directly from the game's files, or edited together.)


Installation & Load Order:

Click yes to replace any files, I restored dialogue the unofficial patch removed, as I've created/restored the quests, npcs, etc.
Put near the bottom of your load order! (Doesn't have to be the last mod loaded though, but I'd recommend it is!)

What this mod adds:

Brand New Quests (written and designed by me):
'Clashing Colours' - Ask a Chorrol resident about Strantus to start.
'The Cat, the Wizard and the Hero' - Talk to Gilgondorin in Silverhome-on-the-Water to start.
'Wealth Beyond Measure' - Talk with Ralril in the Fox's Den Inn to start.
'A Thorn to Her Rose' - To start, after completing 'Wealth Beyond Measure', head to Fort Naso.
'Fox of a Different Shade' - To start, after completing 'A Thorn to Her Rose', head to The Fox's Den Inn
'An Honest Living' (Black Horse Courier Questline) - To start, talk to Ra'Jiradh at the Black Horse Courier Offices. This questline is optional. If you don't want to do it, simply tell Urjahbi you never want to be a courier. The quest will complete and all the involved npcs will be made unessential.

Restored Quests/Quest Content (originally written/designed by Bethesda):
'Doran's Family Troubles' - Talk to Jirolin Doran in Chorrol to start
'Lonely Hearts' - Emfrid and Bittneld's relationship quest has been expanded with unused dialogue and will now appear in your journal with a quest name.
---
Sulinus Vassinus can now rescue Erthor in the Skingrad Recommendation; fully voiced and scripted. (This took less than a minute to restore lol)
2 minor alternate endings to 'Where Spirits have Lease' (and added the rumours)
Minor alternate end to Legacy Lost that ends with Reynald's death - restored dialogue and journal entry
Restored original name for the quest 'Vampire Cure'. It's now called 'Till Death Do They Part'.
You can now convince Faustina to back down, as an alternate way of completing ‘The Siren's Deception’.
Henentier is no longer essential, allowing you to kill him as an alternate way to complete ‘Through a Nightmare, Darkly’.  (currently non-functional)
Fingers of the Mountain can be now completed without joining the Mages guild, making use of lots of unused dialogue.

New Locations/Location Content (designed by me):
Imperial Battle College, south west of Cheydinhal - The battlemages of Cyrodiil train, study and reside here.
Soul Bound Cave, outside Leyawiin - contains three zones.
The Fox's Den Inn, north east of Sercen Camp. Contains 4 new npcs, one of which, 'Ralril', will initiate a treasure hunting quest.
Fair'n'Square HQ is a new location outside Chorrol where Hides-His-Heart now lives.
Six small rats now roam Leyawiin, in accordance with Weebam-Na's rat complaints.
J'bari and Tsrava's house now has a new backyard that contains stray dogs, in accordance with frequently heard rumours.
Added the Practice Room Basement to the Arcane University, where a new NPC called Ereek-Wa resides.
Overhaul of Vanilla house naming - Houses are now named to include all collective residents & are grouped by surname, or first names where more appropriate. Consequently removes the sexism of seeing [The Husband's] house everywhere.

Restored Locations/Location Content (designed by Bethesda):
Castle Varaldo, in the mountains near the Morrowind border. (I've added NPCs to it and much improved detail and objects).
Gretwold - A farmhouse outside Chorrol and the residence of a newly restored NPC, Oghat gro-Othmuk.
Imperial Villa, which is now the home of Lerexus Callidus after 'Raid On Greyland'. (I've added much improved detail and objects).
Forgotten Cave (2 zones). It's near Fort Urasek and Sideways Cave.
Re-implemented the unused portions of Unmarked Cave, the Mazeway and Black Queen's Hall.
Wellspring Grove can now be accessed pre-quest and Zahrasha and Eletta's greeting are now available.
Restored Nirn Stone and it's power, Nirn Breath.

In addition, given some captains (excluding Adamus Phillida) clothing for those who had none, or changed their clothing, in cases were many captains had identical clothes to each other.
