You can enchant these items as well. If you do so, I recommend creating two versions...one set enchanted and the other non-enchanted. After creating the normal versions, you can quickly create enchanted versions by opening your item, such as '''MyModLongsword''' and changing the ID to '''MyModEnchLongsword''' and clicking OK and answering YES to create a new form. Once you do this for all your items, you will have a new group of items with '''Ench''' in the ID to let you know which ones are to be enchanted. | You can enchant these items as well.

If you are using Construction Set version 1.2, the internal version number of the .esp plugins it creates is version 1.0 and requires at least Oblivion 1.1.511 before it even acts like the plugin is installed. If you created a plugin that doesn\'t really require anything from Oblivion 1.1 or 1.2 patches, use a tool to back-rev the internal version number from 1.0 to 0.8 as the last thing you do before packaging your mod. | If you are using Construction Set version 1.2, the internal version number of the .esp plugins it creates is version 1.0 and requires at least Oblivion 1.1.511 before it even acts like the plugin is installed.
