Chapter 6 - Utilities
In this chapter I will try to give some insight into some utilities I have found, what they
can be used for, usefulness, and maybe a couple tips to using them. This will not be a
tutorial on how to use any of these. This will be just some basic information. By
including this chapter I am not in any way endorsing any of these utilities, merely
providing some information about them. Make your own judgments about whether they
would be of any use to you, and if you should download and use them.
TES4 Plugin Utility:
The TES4 Plugin Utility has many useful features, such as merging mods, creating silent
MP3 voice files and more!
BookGen (Book Generator utility):
Write the text of a book in HTML or text format, and then use to create the book for in
game use.
BSA Commander:
This can be used to view, unpack, or repack a .bsa file. Even pack a new .bsa file.
Markov Name Generator:
With this program, you can generate new character names quite easily and the new
names tend to sound like the normal race names.

NifSkope:
NifSkope is a tool for analyzing and editing NetImmerse files, it has many useful
features; defiantly worth a download.
Oblivion Mod Manager:
Oblivion Mod Manager, as its name suggests, is a utility for managing oblivion mods. It
can just be used as an enhanced version of the data files selector on the oblivion
launcher, with sorting and load-order reordering capabilities, but there are a lot more
features which can only be used when mods are packed as omod files.
