I would like to be a private tester for this mod. I have a high level character a lvl 31 high elf and plenty of spare time for the next few weeks. I would be happy to inform you of any problems or faults that I find with this game. I really liked morrowind I still have it installed and I would like to try out your mod.

I'd enjoy being a tester for the mod. I've been watching your progress for some time now, and I'm eager to see what you've done. I'd be glad to give feedback and report glitches.

I'd love to give Morrowind another visit with the Oblivion engine. I will give feedback as well

[jollyboxer]

This mod/expansion sounds great I'd love to try it out and hopefully contribute in some way, thanks.

Alright, guys, you're now the new testers!

But please don't run a test with a lot of mods activated at once. Or if you do, post your mod list. Otherwise, it will be impossible to tell if something is a bug or a conflict.

I am quite sure that will never work regardless of our efforts to try to minimize conflicts. In fact, if you can, all mods should be deactivated and a new game started.

Also, make sure you have the latest Bethesda patch and tell me your system configuration and other third party programs (such as OBSE, OBMM etc.) you use. I suspect slower machines might cause a CTD too, but I can't verify that.

[wyzzardd]

Can do!

I've already played around a bit with the Solstheim Recreated demo work. I like! And it worked fine with other mods activated. I think I even had FCOM activated at the time. But I'll definitely deactivate my other mods for this test and start a clean game.

So how do we "unblock" the download for SoVvM on Tes Nexus?

[wyzzardd]

Oh sorry! Disregard!

Uhm yeah, I sent a private message to each of you.

One more thing, testers, there is a new Sheogorath quest, but you have to go to Shivering Isles for it.

The quest in only available right after Sheogorath tells you THE SECRET! (You know... ) But you have to do it right after you get it. If you advance too much into the SI main quest, it will become a failed quest and you will lose your awesome rewards.

[thePOSTALmodder]

And if you want something really cool, type "coc zzzzTestCell" in the console.

[wyzzardd]

Yeah...figured that out after my second cup of coffee! I've got it loaded on a clean Oblivion load, and first blush I'm truly impressed by the work! BTW...I'm running on Vista and have had no problems so far.

[thePOSTALmodder]

I was especially concerned with Vista, I heard Vista users have trouble with Oblivion VANILLA... If that's true, I hope mods won't make it even messier.

Tell me if you try out the Sheogorath quest. There's also an easter egg related to him, see if you can unlock it. ;D

[thePOSTALmodder]

One more thing, I wanted to test this as well:

Create a new game, new characters (using a beard), see what Valen Dreth says, then use player.setlevel [value] and play Boethia's quest.

Save often and make sure all save reloads work. I had trouble with that on another mod, the unmodular Oblivion Enhanced. Then again, it had massive dirty references. SoVvM is very clean actually.

[wyzzardd]

K.

I've had no problems with Vista, and I've played over 800 hours of Oblivion on the system with an assortment of mods. Once I turned off the User Account Controls, everything worked fine.

I need some clarification on the kind of feedback you want.

I know, for instance, that character creation still has some bugs, per your Manual. I noticed that it also has some cosmetic issues. You're aware of all these, right, and I don't need to mention them?
