🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a simple location mod, just drop the files into your Oblivion Data folder and activate the .esp in the launcher or OBMM.
If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
Check for conflicts with other mods that alter the New Sheoth palace courtyard—load order matters if you have multiple location overhauls.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (70k downloads, 224 endorsements) shows it's been tried by many and appreciated by a decent chunk.
- Fills an empty space in the Shivering Isles without overhauling the whole area—nice for players who want a quick visual boost.
- Adds NPCs, which can make the palace feel more alive and immersive.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2022—might not be compatible with the latest Oblivion patches or mod setups, so check for conflicts.
- No install instructions provided by the author, so you'll need to know how to manually install mods or use a mod manager.
- Only touches the courtyard—if you're looking for a full palace overhaul, this won't cover interiors or other areas.
