Thanks sandor!

Cheers sandor. Would you mind changing the rocks with 'moss' variations, please?
Edit - Come to think of it, the preset just has not been effective again. It's so unreliable! X( There are still plenty of vanilla textures in there. I'll send along new replacement instructions. Hopefully, it won't be too much.

Sorry to post here, but i wanted to ask this.
Why it freezes, if i wanna walk and look around Black Marsh?
I've tried everything, close CS, lower resolution, lower grapics... it freezes every time.

I don't know why it is freezing, to be honest. Have you followed the instructions that Ibsen should have sent you, along with the BSA download link? You have to edit two different ini documents for Oblivion, to get the BSAs to work properly in the game.
My Recent Personal Experiences When in Blackmarsh:
I've only been in Blackmarsh worldspace once since the BSA version came out, and this was just a few days ago. I was in an interior cell of an NPC to check on her Iguana armor, and when I was playing with some items on her table, the game crashed.
Also, I found out that I couldn't console "cow" to the Soulrest lower child worldspace where this NPC's house was located, without the game crashing. I had to use the console to go straight to the NPC's house interior, instead.
Thinking back, I should have mentioned these issues to Ibsen, but I now post my experiences here in this thread, in case sandor or Ibsen knows what might be wrong.

Sadly, but good to hear not only my game crashes...
Some months ago, i've tried one of Silgrad Towers beta version. The name was something like Garden... aw yes, Forgotten Garden. A really great mod.
And it was (almost) the same. I've looked around this "small" world, and it was VERY laggy, and it freezes after 10 minutes or less. What a shame...
About Black Marshes.
Well, i've tested my interiors. It was okay, and i spend over 20 minutes in my interiors without freeze. But when i gone to the wilderness...
I've seen 2 trees, and that's all: the game freezed.
I really hope we can solve this problem in the near future. Im really interested in landscapes, but every time i tried to walk around, it freezed. Do not know why .. ?(
EDIT: These models are phenomenal, by the way.
That is really great, that we have that much model, with that good quality.
Just let you know, you've got an another fan.

Freezing is model related.
For the Forgotten Garden I ran a number of tests and it confirmed that it was model related. When using vanilla models the FPS was fine.
The FPS improved when we shifted the FGa HM quad to the center (quad 0_0).
Steve's (SACArrow's) theory:
My WAG about the issue still relates to either non-MOPPed or incorrectly MOPPed collision. Since there does seem to be "leakage" where the engine has to test more of the surrounding area, maybe some of that "leakage" goes all the way to the origin, so the farther from the origin (from quad 0_0) the problem is, the worse it manifests.
I agree with his idea.
I'll test the various regions and report back.

Thanks for your answer, Sandor!
I wish you good luck, hope you can get more information.

Here is my latest bit of modding for the city interiors. This includes work on various places but mainly Soulrest. I have also attached Vintra's work on Atreyu Onathar's house.
@ Vintra - I left you a message on the 'Corals' claim in the thread. I'm sure it will be fine to merge this once you follow my suggestions so just post up the results here once you're done. :goodjob:
