			'''You will need [https://nodejs.org/en/ Node.js] in order for this work.'''

			# Download [https://github.com/valarnin/oblivion-save-reader/releases/tag/v1.3 oblivion-save-reader-v1.3.zip], which is the release containing the ESM/ESP reader.
			# Extract the zip file.
			# '''TODO: I can't remember how to actually set all this up in the most non-programmer friendly way possible and with the fewest downloads of external things like git.'''

			...

			# Run the following command, which excludes records you may not want that make the resulting file size much larger:
			#: <code>npm run esm_to_sqlite -- -f G:\Stuff\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Oblivion\Data\Oblivion.esm -e 'GRAS,TREE,STAT,SOUN,LIGH'</code>
			# Wait for the program to finish running. This can take upwards of 15 to 20 minutes.
			# An Oblivion.db file has now been generated in the Data folder for the game. If you are playing on the steam version, the file path will usually be located here:
			#: <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion\Data\</code>
			# Download and run the [https://sqlitebrowser.org/ DB Browser for SQLite].
			# Go to <code>File -> Open Database</code> and select the Oblivion.db file using the filepath noted previously.
			# You can now search through the database. The primary use-case is to browse scripts, which can be like so:
			## Go to the ''Browse Data'' tab and type <code>SCTX</code> into the ''type'' filter to show only scripts.
			## In the ''content'' tab, type whatever code snippet you are looking for within the scripts, and wait for results to apppear.
			## Click on the different ''content'' results to view them in the text box to the right. Settings ''Mode'' to <code>JSON</code> will make this slightly more readable.
