How to use this modders resource?
===========

I could not make the fish move without some fish AI scripting. Standard Oblivion had no scripting for that so I used a fish AI script from another mod called “Alive Water v0.6”. This fish AI script is not perfect so I advise you to create ore find a better script.

How the fish AI work:
I have given all the fish the characteristics that they need to work naturally in the game world. All the fish have the AI setting ore task to find containers. This means that they will swim from one container to the next within a preset range from there in the Construction Set designated point.

How do you let the fish swim:
Because the fish need to find containers in order to move. So that mains that there should be containers on the bottom of the lake ore sea where the fish are in. Containers are clams and boxes that can contain something. You have to make a wide spread grid of containers on the bottom of the lake ore sea.

Known Issues or Bugs
===========

- The Fish AI is not fully developed which causes strange fish behaviour and the fishes will die for no reason. (Probably a bug in the fish AI script)


Future
===========
Still to come in a next version:

- There are no future plans set for this mod jet so suggestions and ideas are welcome.
