Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch Mod

Installation (Wrye Bash)

1.) Copy the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.7z into the folder you use for BAIN installers. The default for this would be Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion Mods\.

2.) In the BAIN tab, make sure the USIP file is at the top of the package list, directly below the UOP. Right click on it, select "Move To" and use slot 1.

3.) Left click on the file after it's moved. Then right click on the file and select "Install".

4.) Once installed, enable the .esp file via the Mods tab. It is recommended to run LOOT at this point to verify load order placement.

5.) Make sure you've got some form of archive invalidation set. You can use Wrye Bash, OBMM, or the ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! for this.

If you are updating the USIP from an older version, after making sure Step 2 is done, you can right click the file and select "Anneal" and it will update the files accordingly while also preserving anything later in your setup that needs to override them.

Installation (Manual Version)

1.) Extract Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.7z into your Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data\ folder.

2.) Enable Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp in the Oblivion launcher and the other optional plugins from the package.

3.) Make sure you've got some form of archive invalidation set. You can use Wrye Bash, OBMM, or the ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! for this.

Manual installation of this or any other mod is STRONGLY discouraged. You should make use of Wrye Bash if at all possible. Using OBMM will work, but is not recommended. Absolutely DO NOT use Nexus Mod Manager to install this! NMM does not handle the installation of Oblivion files well and will cause things like missing meshes to crop up in your game because it seems to randomly skip files for no apparent reason.

Uninstalling (Wrye Bash)

1.) Launch Wrye Bash, go to the Installers tab.

2.) Right click on the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch package, select uninstall. That should be it.

Uninstalling the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch in the middle of a current save is not recommended. Doing so should only be done if you plan to start a new character.

Uninstalling (Manual)

1.) Use the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.7z archive as a reference to what files you need to delete.

Uninstalling the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch in the middle of a current save is not recommended. Doing so should only be done if you plan to start a new character.
