I Can't Believe It's Not Vanilla!"


Why this mod was made:

Many are aware of Oblivion's infamous 'every bandit has high level armor' problem.
This mod is an attempt at a more dynamic solution to this problem.

The mod I previously used to solve this problem was Bandits and Highwaymen without leveled items.
I used that mod for some time but I realized it only affects Vanilla Bandits and Highwaymen,
and does so in a way that makes their equipment static.

I set out to make a mod that implements the vision of basic NPCs without
Daedric, Glass, Elven or Ebony armors in a more dynamic and compatible way.
This mod also applies a few other fixes, detailed below.


DETAILS:

⭐ NPCs no longer have Daedric equipment, thus making Daedric equipment less abundant.
⤷ A good way to obtain Daedric equipment is by going into an Oblivion Gate or fighting Daedra.
⤷ Leveled lists for Daedra have been left untouched.

⭐ Many NPCs no longer wear Glass, Elven, or Ebony armor. Higher level / unique enemies such as Ringleaders may still have these armors.
⤷ Glass, Elven, and Ebony weapons have been left untouched; their rate of appearance is unaffected by this mod.
⤷ Technical: NPCs using "LL0" leveled lists will never have Glass, Elven, or Ebony armor. NPCs using "LL2" leveled lists may have these armors.

  • Loot leveled lists have been left untouched. (You can still find Daedric, Glass, Elven and Ebony in loot.)

  • This mod incorporates my other mod Leather Bracers. (Leather Bracers were previously very rare. Now you can find them in loot, NPCs wear them, and vendors sell them.)

  • Fixed Blackwood Company Merc leveled list issues. (They previously didn't have a chance to equip Blackwood Armor.)

  • Fixed LL0 and LL2 NPCArmorHeavyShield issue. (There was previously an Elven Shield (Light Armor) erroneously in these lists.)

  • This mod does not undo changes made by the Unofficial Patch.

  • More detailed notes can be found in the ReadMe.


RECOMMENDED:

⭐ No Obsolete Loot and Enemies ⭐
This mod "Makes it so that none of the items or enemies in the levelled lists become obsolete. No matter your level you might encounter an imp while wandering the forests of Cyrodiil or have a bandit wearing leather armor attack you. This also somewhat alleviates the problem with everyone and their mother dropping high end stuff when you have reached a certain level."

Combining 'Goons without Glass' and 'No Obsolete Loot and Enemies' is probably the best way to make bandits/goons look and feel like actual bandits/goons:

  • All goons/NPCs would never have Daedric armor or weapons.
  • All goons/NPCs would be less likely to have Elven, Glass or Ebony weapons.
  • Common low-level goons would never have Elven, Glass or Ebony armor.
  • Stronger or more unique enemies/NPCs would be less likely to have Glass, Elven, or Ebony armor.

⭐ Bandits Have Helmets ⭐
"Non-boss bandits now have a chance to wear a helmet. It's a 25% chance, same as their gauntlets in the base game, to maintain a vanilla-esque feel."

If you want Basic Goons to also have a chance to wear a helmet, this mod blends seamlessly with my mod for a fun modular installation process! Amazing!


⭐ Faction Relations ⭐
This file modifies faction relations, making the different factions and groups (of creatures) more dynamic. You will see different factions and creatures fighting against each other in the wild and in dungeons. No longer will they sit around waiting to gank The Champion of Cyrodil.


⭐ Race Relations ⭐
My definitive Vanilla+ Racial Adjustment mod for Oblivion.


COMPATIBILITY:

Other mods altering these same leveled lists will need a patch.
I figured not many other mods altered these leveled lists, making this mod highly compatible.
But then again, there's so many mods I haven't tried so I really don't know.
It's always best to check and see for yourself.
Regardless, this mod should be easy to patch.
