First select the | First select the '''Owner''' tab. In the '''Faction''' drop down list select '''NONE'''. Now the door belongs to no one and we can open it without triggering any alarms. Now go to the '''Lock''' tab, and in the top left corner uncheck the '''Locked''' tick box. The door is now unlocked. Great! However, if we go into the cellar, we are entering a ''room'' that belongs to someone else, and we are '''trespassing'''. Let’s change that. | ||
Look for the cell that refers to the cellar. It is called | Look for the cell on the '''LHS''' of the [[Cell View Window]] that refers to the cellar. It is called ''ChorrolTheOakandCrosierCellar'', and is right above the tavern in the list. Right-click on it, select '''Edit''', and a dialog box pops up. This has three tabs. '''Common Data''', '''Lighting''', and '''Interior Data'''. Select '''Interior Data'''. In the '''Ownership''' drag down box, select '''NONE'''. | ||
Now save your mod. Call it something useful like ''Test02''. Now before we go look in the game, just have a quick look at the [[:Category:Objects|objects]] inside the cellar.

Load up the CS. This time select BOTH | Load up the CS. This time, in [[:Category:File|File]] >> [[Data]], select BOTH ''oblivion.esm'' and the ''Test02'' mod you've just created. Make the ''Test02'' file [[Active File|active]]. We might as well overwrite this mod since some of the work we need to do is already done. | ||
Take a deep breath, we are about to get creative and carry out some real, functional modding at last. | |||
