OBGE...am I missing something?

Post » Sat Apr 25, 2015 2:33 am

Hi guys,

I recently got back into Oblivion and while I have gameplay mods installed, I decided I wanted some graphic enhancing mods as well. I came across a video that showcased Oblivion Graphics Extender (OBGE) with the Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) and God Rays. While I found and downloaded OBGE v3, I cannot find the downloads for SSAO and God Rays. I found several mentions of these two extensions, but all the links seem to be dead and lead to a generic TESNexus page. Can someone clue me in here?

Do I need a different version of OBGE that I'm not seeing, or are SSAO and God Rays already included in OBGE? Thanks in advance!

OBGEv3 is abandoned and deprecated. You need to uninstall it, then install http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45749/?.

OBGE has been replaced by this highly improved and recommended mod:

But if you really want the original, the shaders you're looking for are part of the OBGE Core, available here:

AHHHH! Thanks I was looking at the reloaded and thought it was an alternative instead of a replacement. Does the Reloaded have the same stuff the old one has or is it all new stuff? I really liked the look of the SSAO in OBGE, which is the main reason I got OBGE in the first place.

The shaders are different but it does include Ambient Occlusion. I don't see many people switching back to OBGE after trying OR. I've been back and forth a few times and although OR isn't perfect, it's the wave of the future and it's getting better all the time. And it has nowhere near the performance hit of OBGE.
