Nothing beats if for out and out replacement handling though.
You can easily make ini tweaks of the main oblivion ini - to be somewhat automated with Wrye Bash. In fact somewhere I acquired ini tweaks for Darn UI that are useable with bash. Probably here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22170
To be able to see visually what mod replacer is attempting to overwrite what other mod replacer is as useful as looking in tes4edit to see what mod entry is attempting to overwrite what other mod entry. They go hand in hand. And with BAIN you can tweak install order without ever having to reinstall a mod. If you do reinstall it is with a quickness.
Updating them BAIN packages is easy once you've made about 10 you get the hang of it.
But yeah no doubt I use OMODs for what BAIN won't do. The only mod I have that has an ini so sophisticated that I use the OMOD is realistic fatigue. All other ini I tweak by hand.
of course to each their own. The reason I brough this topic here is because Ray007 is set on an extensive load order - and BAIN is the best method for uber installs.
I checked out the link you provided. You have quite a bit of experience, especially on the demands mods can put on computers. I thought I had it good with my 24" iMac but your system along with your 28" screen & 1Gig video card easily Trumps it.
Judging from your comments (from thread-link), it seems to me there is noway for my system can handle QTP3Redimized - correct?
My System Specs are:
Apple iMac
2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM (3GB since XP OS)
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (BootCamp)
Display 24" with 1920x1200 resolution
Based on this, after I install FCOM, what do you suggest would bring about the most visual enhancement without crashing/overloading my system?
Note - I do plan on adding RBP & EVE HGEC.
Thanks
