FINALLY reinstalling Oblivion

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:18 am

System Model: Dell XPS420
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 3070MB RAM
Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
Card Memory: 1018 MB

Posted a little info on my PC so graphics enhancers could be properly judged :P

Basically, it's been years since I played Oblivion... any mods I had installed were WAY outdated, so I just cleared everything...

So... I was hoping some kind modder out there would be willing to post me a list to a few mods for me...

I ALWAYS play a thief/assassin. So anything that improves the thieves guild and the dark brotherhood is good. I also play a Breton vampire. So vampirism and magic addition mods are good too... nothing overpowered or cheat-like though...

Latest version of FCOM would be excellent (don't even know where to look for that anymore...)

any huge quest mods would be great too (well, infamy/vampire friendly mods)

but mostly, I'm looking for the best graphical (quarl(sp?)is too much, but I think there was a performance friendly version someone made) enhancement, world enhancement, city enhancement mods I can use...

I'm REALLY sorry if I sound demanding or bossy... I really don't mean to be... but I've been out of the oblivion world so long, I don't have any idea where to get the lates versions of the best mods out there... Thank you SO much for any help you provide...

Im currently reinstalling myself. After looking for updates, mods I had lost, discovering new goodies, replacements, improvements, PyFFIing, cleaning, bashing, and omoding for the last 2 days, I'm about to puke. Just thought I'd share. But seriously, for FCOM and such the threads are near and current. Happy reading.

-headscratch- I dunno anything about computers, I told someone what I wanted it to be able to handle and had them do it for me. :angel: So, I dunno if this is out of your league or not. If not, since you're likely to be in the towns a lot, maybe look at the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16513? And for when you're not in the cities (and again, this is graphic intensive, YMMV) the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2536 mod (I'd include darker nights option if you use it) and the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14918.


http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21125 makes it look amazing.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9357 adds some great challenges for a thief class.

A nice http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21465 set well away from the road.

Maybe some fun scars with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8261?

Mods I'd recommend: (many of these require http://obse.silverlock.org/)
One or more overhauls: see http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=820948 (OOO is good)
GUI: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10763 or a reskin of Darn
Quests: http://www.lostspires.com, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5156, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16316, http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13714
magic: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12466, http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22984, http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12049, and my own http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14750.
Performance: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22410, and my own http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23208. PyFFI can also help.
Other: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5296, http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2037, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12859, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12032, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22282, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4774, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9333, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10256, and my own http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22326.

Popular non-quest mods include:
Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul and/or FCOM
Darnified / Dark Darn
Unofficial Oblivion Patch
Martigen's Monster Mod
Midas Magic
Deadly Reflex
Unique Landscapes
Tamriel Travellers / ???
Reneers Guard Overhaul
Toggleable Quantity Prompt
Harvest - Flora
Oblivion Stutter Remover
windom earls Oblivion Crash Prevent System
Fast Exit 2
RAEVWD
Better Cities, Open Cities, and/or Open Better Cities
LAME and/or Supreme Magicka
Super Hotkeys
QTP3R
Enhanced Economy
Streamline
Thieves Arsenal

In terms of quests:
Traditionally I think The Lost Spires was most popular, followed by maybe Simyaz's stuff (Ruined Tails Tail / The Butcher / Malevolence / etc)
Lately though, Elsweyr the Desert of Anequina seems to have taken over the top slot.
other quests that remain popular or semi-popular include:
Verona House: Bloodlines
Blood & Mud
Dungeon of Ivellon
Thievery (aka Thievery in the Imperial City)
Cybiades
Windfall
Ayleid Steps
Bartholm
Castle Glenfar

As someone that is waiting for a few mods to update before coming back to oblivion, thank you for this fairly comprehensive list. Question: I skimmed the FCOM thread and couldn't find any info on when they will officially release 1.0. Anyone know when they might do so? Thanks.

Thieves Arsenal - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9655
If you've played Thief series games, this will be really familiar to you

A to take all - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27638
Mostly speaks for itself, but it's a welcome addition. I wish I had found this sooner though

City Stealth Exits - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=24894
This is a pretty simple mod, but it sort of fits for any thief character.
