- Shivering Isles.
- Knights.esp
- DLCBattlehornCastle.esp
- DLCFrostcrag.esp
- DLCHorseArmor.esp
- DLCMehrunesRazor.esp
- DLCOrrery.esp
- DLCThievesDen.esp

- DLCMehrunesRazor - Unofficial Patch.esp. (A no-UOP and SSSB version excludes this and the SSSB patch.)


DESCRIPTION:
- IMPORTANT: Use only with a new game!
- Yet another mod to delay the start of the DLCs. I figure more choices are better.
- This one starts the DLC quests based on conditions you can configure in an INI file. If any value is out of the acceptable range, you get a warning so you can fix it before continuing.
- Be sure to back up your changed INI file or document your preferences in case you reinstall this mod.
- The way you choose to play your character matters.
- Map markers are not added to the map until the DLC starts. Fast travel is disabled until you discover the location.
- For the three skill-based settings (sum of fighter, magic, and stealth skills), there is no maximum value in case you use a mod that increases their maximum from 100.

1) Shivering Isles
   1.1) Player level >= 20
   1.2) Player is in the Bravil worldspace (can choose to ignore location check)

- Battlehorn Castle: more descriptive log entries; the maid cannot be a follower; clarified purchasing requirements; adjusted quest markers.
- Mehrunes Razor: more descriptive log entries.
- Horse Armor: standardized naming convention for armored horses. All end in "(Armored)."


INSTALLATION:
- Extract one of the plugins to the Data folder:
1) If you have both of the Unofficial patches above installed, use Delay DLC Start.esp.
2) If you have the Mehrunes Razor patch installed but not SSSB, use Delay DLC Start - no SSSB.esp.
3) If you have neither of the Unofficial patches above installed, use Delay DLC Start - no UOP and SSSB.esp.
- If updating from V1.0, just overwrite the esp and continue. Remember to save your INI settings. 
- Extract the Ini folder to the Data folder (the ini file is in the Ini folder).
- Again, use with a new game!


COMPATIBILITY:
- May conflict with other mods that affect DLC quests. If in doubt, check with TES4Edit and look for conflicts. Of course, feel free to make compatibility patches.
- Both versions include UOP/UOMP fixes.


LOAD ORDER:
- Load after the Unofficial Oblivion Patch mods listed above.
- Load AFTER mods that edit the DLC quests, since they may restore the "Start Game Enabled" flag.
- Change the load order or your preference in case of a minor conflict. Otherwise, I recommend a patch so both mods function as you desire.


CHANGE LOG:
V1.0 = Initial release.
V1.1 = minor tweaks. No change to the ini file.
