Bethesda has released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Construction Set, allowing you to create your own content for its imminent RPG. This application is not included in the retail game, requires the original, and only works with the PC edition. This v1.2 adds a spellchecker and fixes a few bugs.
General Issues
The Elder Scrolls Construction Set allows you to edit and create content for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is required to create and play content created with The Elder Scrolls Construction Set. However, the Construction Set will install and work without the game.
It is strongly recommended that you have at least 2 GB of RAM to use the Heightmap Editing, and at least 1 GB of RAM for any world and level building.
Limited user accounts will not be able to use The Construction Set. You must have administrative rights.
The Construction Set will occasionally appear to hang or lock up while attempting to exit. Wait 5 minutes. If it still hasn't closed, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and manually END TASK on the application.

Update 1.2 Notes
New Features
Spell checking functionality
Bug Fixes
The Construction Set now increments the version on plugins so that old Oblivion executables will not load a plugin saved with the new Construction Set. The Oblivion executable must be 1.2 or higher to match the new Construction Set executable. Simply install the latest Oblivion patch to get the latest executable.
Under File, there is an new option to Combine Loaded Plugins. When this is selected, the user is asked for a filename. Once a valid file is selected, all loaded data that came from a plugin is resaved as a part of the new file. In order to do this, any new objects are given new IDs on entry into the new file. This means that if you have plugin A.esp and B.esp and C.esp loaded and save your game, and then merge those plugins into ABC.esp, you may have problems trying to load your save with ABC.esp.
Fixed a crash with DeleteAllCells option in the Heightmap Editor.
Fixed bug in Region Editor preventing cutting and pasting in object list.
Export functionality: Adding bExportPluginOnly=1 to General section in constructionset.ini lets you export only the data that is saved in the loaded plugin.
Fixed a bug where references generated by the Region Editor were incorrectly flagged as being owned by the user and not the region.
