Loading Screens Themed Replacer SI v1.0
Modification for The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles
Created by Trollf, 9th of March, 2008
Table of Contents:
Description:
Loading Screens Themes Replacer for Shivering Isles official expansion. In SI expansion there are only 5 different loading screens combined with 58 loading descriptions. This mod links each of those descriptions with different and unique loading screen. Each loading description is connected with matching loading screen (hence 'themed' in mod's name). This means if you see the description about particular location then loading screen shows that location as well. If you can read something about particular monster then loading screen shows that creature, too. And so on. No original descriptions were altered in this version.
Installation:
  • Copy 'LoadingScreensSI.esp' file to 'Oblivion\Data' folder (if you have Loading Screens Themed Replacer for vanilla Oblivion installed then copy 'LoadingScreens.esp' file from 'LoadingScreensSI_Optional' folder instead).
    Copy 'Textures' folder' to 'Oblivion\Data' folder.
    Copy 'Menus' folder' to 'Oblivion\Data' folder (if you have Loading Screens Themed Replacer for vanilla Oblivion installed then you don't have to copy this folder).
  • In Oblivion Launcher choose 'Data Files' from menu and mark the checkbox close to 'LoadingScreensSI.esp' or 'LoadingScreens.esp' if you chosen that one.
  • Run the game and load your any save. From now on, during loading times, the game should display Loading Screens from this mod instead of the originals.
Removal:
  • Just delete these two files:
    Oblivion\Data\LoadingScreensSI.esp or/and Oblivion\Data\LoadingScreens.esp
    Oblivion\Data\Menus\loading_menu.xml
  • And remove this folder:
    Oblivion\Textures\Menus\Loading\trfsi
Known Issues:
There shouldn't be any. This mod changes only one menu file (loading_menu.xml) thus incompatibility is reduced to minimum (even with any GUI mods as those usually don't change this file at all).
 
Compatibility:
This mod isn't compatible with other Loading Screens replacers. It should be compatible with mods which add new Loading Screens instead of changing original ones.
Credits given to:
  • Bethesda for such fine and moddable game.
  • All Creators of various modifications for their work which I used to make base screenshots for this Loading Screens mod. All those mods that I remember are listed below.
Contact:
If you have any questions, comments, etc. related to this mod just mail me or drop me some personal message (nickname Trollf) on official TESForums.
 
Last Words:
This mod is being provided as freeware. All I ask is that you don't claim/release it as your own and if you want to use the whole or part of it in your mod just give me a credit for what I have done.
