Up to date list of recommend mods?

Post » Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:15 pm

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of picking up oblivion on steam and having a good old replay but that means mods and I've been to long out of it to remember the good stuff let alone what I've missed in the last few years. There's lots of places you can find lists but most of them are from a good few years ago like this one from 2006

http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Feature/36919,optimising-oblivion-v30-into-modblivion.aspx/1

The downloading site "top 100" and the like are not all that useful either if I'm honest as it gives you no idea what works well together and so on. So I was wondering if there's any more up to date lists around or if you guys could recommend me a few as good starting places. There's a good few of us on a gaming forum thinking of replaying and a list of cool and useful mods would make that a whole lot more fun.

If you can't help then I'll just use that list as a starting point and have a good dig around my self :)

edit:

having just posted that I noticed a link I'd not check in the FAQ lol

which seems nicely uptodate so you can likely forgot this whole post :(

I keep a list of popular mods and cut and paste it every time someone asks, but unfortunately I've just moved and can't access that computer at the moment. I think the list is something like:

OOO / MMM / FCOM (FCOM includes both OOO and MMM)
Better Cities / Open Cities / Open Better Cities (performance killers)
RAEVWD (performance killer)
OSR - Oblivion Stutter Remover
MM - Midas Magic
SM/LAME - Supreme Magicka / LAME
Fast Exit 2
DR - Deadly Reflex
Enhanced Economy
UL - Unique Landscapes (performance killers)
RGO - Reneers Guard Overhaul
Tamriel Travellers / Crowded Roads / ???
...

Not counting quests. I think the most popular quest atm is Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina, followed by maybe The Lost Spires.

Regarding quests here's my recommendations, and two mini-reviews for most of them.
