User talk:Diana TES GotH/Morroblivion Overhaul with FCOM
FCOM Convergence CORE Install
Template:TOC right FCOM makes it possible to play Francesco's, WarCry, OOO and MMM together. It also adds support for other mods, such as Bob's Armory, Loth's Blunt Weapons, Cobl, Knights of the Nine etc. You can play FCOM in countless combinations as only OOO and MMM are required as the "base". The FCOM Convergence Overhual is Optional, however, users who intend to install it need to pay close attention as CORE in this section means that it is necessary to FCOM.
Notice: While I am updating the guide for FCOM fans, I personally will not be installing FCOM for my game, therefore I will not be providing any CR Patches related to FCOM. Nevertheless, I will list all known patches for FCOM and related mods.

Oblivion WarCry 1.09 Full installation
Description: Oblivion WarCry offers numerous new items and opponents, moreover, items and opponents of the original game have been re-balanced. Level scaling, that causes opponents to adapt to the power of the player character has been removed from standard opponents entirely. In other words, every opponent's power level remains the same disregarding the current level of the player character. The settings of weapons and armors have been revised slightly to provide a better balance between existing and new objects.

Description: The variety in MMM is almost limitless. Each creature and NPC, both original and new, spawns with (in defined ranges) a randomized size; randomized adjustments to stats (such as strength, agility, health, fatigue, magic, willpower, and intelligence) all particular to their class; as well as range-randomized confidence; aggression; and even combat fighting styles. No more clones of creatures or NPCs where each one is identical; with MMM every encounter is different because every creature -- even within the same race -- is a unique individual.

Optional: Quests and Adventures with Addons
All of the Quest and Adventure mods listed below are optional. The most popular mods are the ones chosen for this guide. Some of them expand on the Oblivion or Morrowind vanilla quests, while others add new lands, quests, NPCs, etc... Many Quest and Adventure mods require a new game and will not work with a saved game. Many may also require patches to work with other mods. Bear in mind that while many of these mods are merged with Wrye Bash, they should not all be installed at once. Be selective if you opt for any of the following quests.

Description: This mod adds more than 250 runeskulls to the game. These are objects that let you enchant weapons and armor without using an enchanting station, much like sigil stones work, but give multiple enchantments instead of just one.

You will most likely find these in places where there are necromancers or mages, and there are also some handplaced runeskulls hidden in several places (spolier: Check The First Edition's basement for one).

Description: A patch to remove the OOO one from all the games leveled lists leaving only the Cobl Ayleid coins.
Description: Removes the "shaky screen" inebriation effect from drinks in Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, and mainly restores vanilla effects. Works for FCOM too.
Description: This is a rewrite of OOO's Geomancy & Gem dust plugin using OBSE. The main purpose is to make the process of grinding gems into power faster and easier. Now when you click on one of those items, you have the option to powder a single item or to automatically powder all of those items in your inventory. Also, you no longer have to close a message box after the powdering is complete. So, what previously took a dozen or more clicks to accomplish can now be done with a single click. OOO's geomancy is preserved in its entirety, and in fact I have made a few changes to the spell names to preserve immersion.

OOO Harvest Containers Filter
Description: This mod changes containers added by a large number of mods into Harvest Containers based upon the Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul version which also includes the lock bashing features from Lap's Security Rebalance and Scruggsywuggsy's LockBash 1.1. So you will not only get the visuals from Harvest Containers, but many containers (based on type) will now also be bashable and some may also be trapped.
Description: This mod places 12 new weapons, and 1 set of Heavy & Light armor into Francesco's leveled list. Their power is carefully balanced to match level-30 items.

Note: Refer to FCOM Optional Add-Ons (New) for a description of each add-on. Select ONLY the ESPs that correspond to any of the optional mods that have been selected from the Quests and Adventures mod list.
1. Esp/m Filter: Uncheck All: DO NOT CHECK ANY ESPs listed below: FCOM_Archery.esp (There is an updated ESP to install if you want it.) FCOM_FranItemRelevelerALL.esp FCOM_OscurosOverhaul.esp FCOM_TamrielicIngredients.esp (Not compatible with COBL.) FCOM_VanillaItemReleveler.esp Any ESPs that are not relevant to the mods you have chosen need to be Unchecked. 2. Esp/m Filter: Check: FCOM_BobsGuardUnity.esp (Merges several Imperial Legion changes from Bob's Armory with OOO and MMM - Diverse Imperial Armor, inspired by nb_nmare's Unity project.

Use instead of MMM - Diverse Imperial Armor.) FCOM_DurabilityAndDamage.esp (This FCOM option increases melee damage. It works just like the MMM - Durability & Damage plugin, but without messing up the Oscuro durability settings. It will probably make melee combat overly powerful unless you use another mod that makes magicka a lot more deadly, too, such as Mighty Magicka or Supreme Magicka. Must be loaded after FCOM_Convergence.esp. Use FCOM_DurabilityAndDamage.esp instead of MMM - Durability & Damage.esp.)
