When I played this game back when I had a non sucky computer (read, that one broke, got different one that sucked then traded it for this bad ass one) And I played through the Fighters Guild quests I got the ring that would deal fire damaage to anyone that wore it and it would kill them. That gave me the idea, that I just recently remembered when I started playing again, is there a mod, and if not would someone be willing to make one, of a ring/amulet/spell that will make you appear dead until it wears off/ unequipped. It would be great for the situations where you're getting chased by a mob of NPC's trying to kill you.

also has anyone made a mod yet that prevents guards from following you into the sewers? Because one of my characters is a sewer dwelling Argonian theif, I had a botched robbery and was running from the guards back to a sewer entrance and was shocked that they followed me in. I figured that since there were other kinds of baddies and bandits hiding down there I wouldn't be followed. I was wrong and got stabbed many many times. So is there one that exists or would anyone mind making it?

rock on I'll see if that works, what about something that keeps guards from entering the sewers?

I got a different idea. After doing a little bit more exploring in the sewers, I found a place that I like and is easy to get to. The sewer entrance where Thoronir meets Agamir at night. I like that little area, now what I'm wondering is if there could be a second bidden turn wheel in that area that activates the grate, and possibly adding a hidden crawlspace in that room that will take me to my own little hide away. Could somebody make that?

anybody?

Considering how tough the guards are, I don't think the reason they usually stay out of the sewers is that it's owned by outlaws... Just to clarify, do you want the turn wheel in the sewers, or blocking off the entrance grate?

Well the fact that they come into the sewers to chase me doesnt bother me seeing as after more exploring I know most of the sewers like the back of my hand, that and I have the TIE mod installed so it connects all the sewers together so I'm sure I can easily out run them. I'd just like my own little hide out added to place I'm currently using to stash my loot and sleep.


The place where Agamir meets Thoronir at night, there is a sewer entrance in that area. The room that leads too is where I hide out at. Maybe a manhole cover in that area that leads to my own secret hide out will do, one that will only open for me with a bedroll and places to stash things and a hidden compartment to stash my stolen goods.

I drew up a couple of diagrams, but seeing as i drew them up in paint real quick I dont know how much of a help they will be

basicly what i'm lookign for is stuff thats already in the game, just thrown together in a hidden in the sewers

the first diagram is what the area looks like and where I would like the entrance to be for 'The Hideout'. It would be cool if it could be set up so that only my character would be able to enter, but if that's too hard/cant be done, thats still ok


the second one is a layout of how I would like the hidden room to look. I hope this isnt TOO difficult. If anybody would be willing to oblige then let me know and I'd be very thankful. I'd do this myself but I dont know the first thing about modding.

Learn, you lazy! tongue.gif

Just kidding. Will see what I can do.

thats great, if you know of anyone who's good at doing armor check out my other thread for an idea i got for amor
LoginToDownload
Taking another look at those pictures... I like the idea of two different exits, but it doesn't really seem to make sense, heading straight from the Market District sewers to outside the walls...

EDIT: Things are going smoothly, but how much of it do you want to respawn? The cupboard? Barrels?
exesinxmyxalias
well maybe two small jewelry boxes on the table in the hidden room, on e to stay empty and one that respawns 500 septims every few days? Leave the rest non respawnable.

also has anyone looked at my other thread, the one for the armor?

Why a respawning box that stays empty? unsure.gif

I did read your armor thread, and it sounds cool, but a huge amount of work... I think modeling is already much harder/time consuming than CS-work, (Though I plan to learn how eventually... Stupid NifSkope) and the model/texture requests already outnumber the ones without models and textures...
exesinxmyxalias
well i meant a box on the table that stays empty so i can just stash stuff like jewels and rings in it, and another that respawns 500 septims every couple of days, and if i don't come by and collect it, to have it just accumulate.

I'd definitely like to get into this whole modding and armor making scene but I don't have the time to learn. I'm in the process of trying to finish a novel, looking for a job, trying to learn what I can about my car's electrical system so that I don't have to pay money for some dude to look at it and say 'nothings wrong, just hit it really hard and the lights will come back on and the window should roll down'. As well as various other things.

Tadaa! One made-to-order sewer hideout. The entrances are behind the stairs entering the Market District Sewers where you asked, and another behind some stairs in the Talos Plaza Sewers. (It seemed too weird, putting it outisde the walls) Other people can still enter, but a lever is conveniently placed to ensure that, if any undesirable people barge in on you, you can supply them with rapid-fire darts to the crotch as they climb down. Also included is the enchanted Cask of Tchi-Tir, which generates 500 gold a day, and can hold a maximum of 5000 gold. (Any more and it stops generating gold until you remove some) Enjoy. smile.gif

YES! Thanks. I'll test it out right now. One question though? Have you installed vampiric overhaul ver 3? I have that and I just became a vampire and I cant seem to feed at all

It looks like, if you just transformed, you would be a Hybrid Vampire. Sticking with it for four days and, if necessary, reaching level 5 should get you to the next vampire level and give you the ability to feed.

YEah I went over the readme file last night while I was installing the hideout mod. The hideout mod looks really good, I love it. It took me a while but I've got everything set up the way I want it. And I almost want to trick a guard or two to chase me down there so that I can use the dart launcher.

Really good job guy, kudos to you.

So how does one go about throwing together a great mod like that anyway?

Most of it is just placing things in the Construction Set. Aside from that I had to make a few new (changed) lights and containers, but that's no difficulty. The Cask also needed a bit of scripting.

Why is it so frakking difficult to find Rens Beauty Pack? I had to do all kinds of googling and found nothing in English, I had to pretend I knew Italian to find a link to file planet to get it, they want me to sign up to download the thing and then after I create an account the site wants me to do some special dance to get it to log me in.

And NOW after several minutes of frustration I can has download.

You should have just searched "Rens Beauty Pack" (You can't put apostrophes in filenames) here on TESNexus. It's the second hit. tongue.gif
