=====================================================================================
02. Recommendations by the authour
=====================================================================================

01. Read the instructions carefully before installing or playing this plugin.

02. It is recommended that you don't use "Night eye Effects". The only result it can cause is to spoil the experience you would have without it.

03. It is recommended that you don't use console cheat codes. They will probably break the quest-line and cause failure to complete it.

04. Although Gates to Aesgaard 2 has been succesfully tested with a variety of other mods, it is recommended that you don't use unofficial plugins that modify already existed items.

05. Gates to Aesgaard - ep.2 has been created on vanilla oblivion for vanilla oblivion and only official plugins are recommended. If you do use other unofficial plugins, please make sure that they are compatible with Gates to Aesgaard 2 before installing or playing the game.

06. It is recommended that you don't use texture or mesh replacements. This project has been created with respect to the quality balance of vanilla Oblivion. If you do use texture or mesh replacements you may notice unbalanced results in quality.

07. It is recommended that you don't use companion mods to any other world space besides Carhenia. They will spoil the experience you would have without them. If you do, please make sure that your companion mod is marked as "essential" and that it supports summoning.

08. It is recommended that you don't use unofficial lighting or weather mods. They will either cause bugs or spoil the experience you would have without them.

09. It is recommended that you don't use overpowered weapons, armors, spells or code-made characters. They will spoil the experience you would have without them.

10. It is recommended that you don't deactivate the border region or the autosave function by modifying the ini text.

11. Depending on your character's level, game's difficulty might change. Use game's difficulty level control to set the required difficulty.

12. The first-person camera mode is recommended for the maximum experiance of this quest.

=====================================================================================
03. Requirements
=====================================================================================

01. The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion
02. Oblivion 1.2.0416 Patch
03. 1,2GB of free hard-disk space

=====================================================================================
04. Installation
=====================================================================================

General rule:
Before installing any unofficial plug-in, backup your save-games.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install Gates to Aesgaard - ep.2:

-Step 01. Run GTAEPII.exe to auto-extract the required data into your oblivion data folder.

-Step 02. Open the Oblivion Launcher and select Data Files.

-Step 03. Tick both GTAesgaard_2.esm (Master File) and GTAesgaard_2.esp (Player File).

-Step 04. Play.

To uninstall Gates to Aesgaard - ep.2:
Click the start menu and use the "Unistall_GTAEPII.exe" located at the "Gates to Aesgaard 2" folder.

Note: The installer contains one (1) esm file, one (1) esp file, one (1) bsa archive and three (3) bink video files. There will be no manual installation version, so please, do not ask for it.

=====================================================================================
05. Load-Order
=====================================================================================

Landscape issues may appear in game if another esm that alters the landscape affects GTAesgaard_2.esm or vice versa.
Solution: Use Timeslip's Oblivion Mod Manager (http://timeslip.chorrol.com/obmm.html) to change the load order and set GTAesgaard_2.esm right after Oblivion.esm

The load order should look like this:

Load-Order:
-----------
Oblivion.esm
GTAesgaard_2.esm
*
All other ESMs

All other ESPs
*
GTAesgaard.esp

=====================================================================================
06. Known bugs/issues to understand
=====================================================================================

01. Landscape issues may appear in game if another esm that alters the landscape affects GTAesgaard_2esm or vice versa.
Solution: Check the load order section for more info.

02. Because of an unknown (and very rare) bug, the second part of the dialog between Claudius Otillus and the player might fail to start correctly. (It happened only twice during the final beta testing so, don't worry about it).
Solution: Save your game after exiting the "Engine of Creation". If the dialog fail to start just reload and play again.

=====================================================================================
07. Compatibillity
=====================================================================================

01. Other mods that contain esm files that alter the landscape may conflict with Gates to Aesgaard-ep2. Check the load-order section for more info.

02. Gates to Aesgaard-ep2 is not compatible with weather modifications that use scripts to set the weather instead of the normal region editor (such as Natural Environments
or Enchanced Weather). They will either cause bugs, performance issues and crashes or spoil the experience you would have without them.
Their authours should update their scripts with conditions that prevent the weather changes from happening to other world spaces besides Tamriel.

03. Gates to Aesgaard-ep2 is not compatible with any mod that alters the landscape at any of the following cells.
Tamriel 6, 39
Tamriel 5, 39
Tamriel 5, 38
Tamriel 6, 38
Tamriel 7, 38
Tamriel 7, 39
Tamriel 6, 40
Tamriel 7, 40
Tamriel 37,-14

04. Gates to Aesgaard-ep2 might not be compatible with mods that change the way the original loading doors work.

NOTE: Gates to Aesgaard 2 has been succesfully tested with a variaty of other mods. Some of them are:
Beth's official DLCs, FCOM, OOO, OWC, MMM, Deadly Reflex 5, Unofficial oblivion patch, several body replacers, beatiful people, and many more.
With the right load-order, Gates to Aesgaard 2 should be compatible with almost everything.

Metalman626 download oblivion mod manager. Open the program (if your using vista you have to right click and select administrator setting for it) open the program theres a button called create. Download the mod to your desktop for easy access, when you hit the create button click add archives and locate the mod. Type in a name so you to know what mod it is. Select create omod, it will ask you a bunch of useless stuff like who created the mod or whatever just hit ok and it should load. Then activate the mod by right clicking the green box and hit activate it will turn blue (it will also appear in the list on the other side with a check mark). Mod should be active the next time you start oblivion.

I have a MAJOR problem with this mod. when i exit the engine room thing with the soul stone thing i apparently have to go up the "stairs" and turn a "lever" to "open" the iron gate. the thing is there is no stairs or a lever. i have used the toggle collision cheat to walk through walls and try to find the lever but it doesn't exist. (by the way if u want to cheat press ~ which is the key to the left of the 1 and type "tgm"(without quotes) which is aka "godmode" while in godmode u can carry unlimited amount of stuff and u wont die from anything (with the exception of falling into endless pits) u can also type "help" and a list of things will come up and show u what to type to mod ur attributes and stuff. ANYWAYS..... can someone please tell me if my " no stairs or lever" problem is fixable and if so tell me how to fix it PLEASE I really want to finish this mod so i NEED an answer.

By fredyzg (SI Core) on Dec 29, 2009
