Monkey God of Modding

Wrye Musings hosts my Morrowind and Oblivion mods, utilities and tech notes. Most viewers will find the Wrye Bash (Oblivion) and Wrye Mash (Morrowind) utilities to be of most interest. However, you'll also find several other minor and major mods here – several of which are considered to be must have by many experienced players.

 

About Me: Wrye and the Pythons.

 

Current status: I should be retired right now, but in fact, I'm pretty busy with Bash, Mash and COBL (Common Oblivion). I hoping that my real life won't leave me while I'm busy with this stuff.

 

My thanks to Silmarillion for generously providing hosting at Unforgotten Realms.

 

PS: The name is Wrye, like "Rye"!

Wrye Bash

Wrye Bash 177...Download...Tips and FAQs...Discuss ... Recent Changes

Wrye Bash is a Swiss Army Mod Tool! I.e., it does a bunch of stuff, so it's kind of hard to categorize! However, in general, it does two types of things:

•  Manage Oblivion mods and savegames in a general way. E.g.:

•  Sort rename, reorder, preview, etc.

•  Load savegame masters

•  Separate savegames into profiles.

•  Provide a few special purpose functions. E.g.:

•  Import NPC levels (useful for Oscuro's, Francesco's and similar releveling mods)

•  Import PC face from one game to another.

•  Fix the door/flame animation bug that occurs around 200 hours.

Elder Scrolls Forum Censoring

•  Elder Scrolls Forums moderators now seem to be deleting topics that are even mildly antagonistic. I.e, not just flamewars, but simple discussions about disagreements or possible disagreements. No warning, no lockdown, just plain deletion. The discussion that never was. When that happens to me, I'll try to preserve it here.

•  Britney is DarkFlame?

•  It was suggested that Britney is actually the notorious DarkFlame. My thoughts on this, and a brief exchange with Britney before the thread was deleted.

•  Mystica Books: Support for books with dynamtic contents.

•  Enhanced Clothing ESPs: New versions of some popular clothing esps that makes them work with Erika's Outlet, fixes bugs, and modifies names to make items easier to find. (See also Wrye Patches below.)

Wrye Patches....Download

•  Ever been annoyed by having left and right gloves separated in inventory? Or by trying to remember whether it's "Ring of Khajiit" or "Khajiit Ring" Or by having scrolls appear right in the middle of your book collection? Or by having polysyllabic "ex" words as distinguishers of clothing? Or by having no clue as to what "Rusty Key" is used for? Wrye Patches is a "name replacer" that fixes all of these problems and more!
