Now that Skyrim is on the horizon, I decided to reinstall Oblivion with mods just to taste a bit of TES again.

My question is: are there any mods that deal with NPC and item scaling, changing how it is done in the vanilla game? I know the big overhauls (OOO, Frans and others) do this, but I'd rather install a small mod that wouldn't change lots of things.

I'm looking for mods that prevent NPCs from wearing rare equipment when I reach a certain level, and mods that remove the annoying loot and item scaling in the game.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, you could get Frans to ONLY do that and not add any extra items/creatures etc.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'd rather use separate mods.

I found these mods:

I don't know if they work together or if one or more of them will conflict with the others... :ermm:

A small overhaul that uses only vanilla resources, and includes everything you asked for and more. :wink_smile:

Ya I second TIE, very small mod that makes a lot of great changes. Much easier to install and manage than FCOM or OOO.

definitely "leveled lists overhaul"
