So with the current issues with FNV I decided to go back to Oblivion for awhile. Thing is I've played all the major overhauls (even FCOM) and now I want to get back to the basics. All I want is a simple static leveling mod. Something that caps creature and npc levels. I don't need unleveled or max leveled items (Quest reward leveler works fine for me). Also SI static levels would be a major plus. I've plowed through nexus and planet elder scrolls but I haven't found anything thats up to date.


Thanks in advance.

Cyrodiil Upgrade Overhaul or Tamriel Immersion Experience should do the trick for you!

Yeah it sounds like http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35265 is exactly what you're looking for.

I remember CUO but the site has taken it down, looked good though.

So I download TIE, went over the readme, and it looks good. A couple questions though. I've got Armament complete, artifacts, Oblivion XP (updated), cats and rats, hear no evil, and supreme magicka updated. From what I read it should have no issues with any of the aforementioned mods, would that be a correct assumption (well maybe hear no evil)?

Also, you have any suggestions on house mods that work well with UL?

Thanks for the speedy reply man.

(nevermind about cats and rats, found a patch on nexus)

Armament weapons and armor would not be balanced for TIE stats, and IIRC there's a TIE version for Cats & Rats, but otherwise they're completely compatible.

http://waalx.com/RealSwordsForum/viewtopic.php?t=249 Not quite finished, but the amount of new creatures, weapons and armor is mindblowing. There's no levelscaling on the creatures.

Just fyi, CUO is still available http://www.fileplanet.com/215489/210000/fileinfo/The-Elder-Scrolls-IV:-Oblivion---Cyrodiil-Upgrade-Overhaul-Mod-v6.6 on Fileplanet.

The problem with CUO is that since it uses what are known as diverted leveled lists - depending on load order it will either almost completely block other LL or be blocked by them. Wrye bash will not resolve this issue. The only way is to roll up your sleeves and re-position each entry in those leveled lists into the non-diverted variants.

I've know of it being done by adding them to custom patches or to TIE.

I currently use TIE+WAC but keep in mind the WAC plugins require some editing (not a lot and described on that forum) and there is a few funky things I've found with WAC and Wrye Bash - but those are being investigated by Pacific Morrowind.

I like this combination and yes probably I'm not seeing 100% from each - but I'm fine with 80% from each. TIE handles the humans and some animals and WAC adds as much as MMM does with monsters and crazy animals. http://waalx.com/RealSwordsForum/viewforum.php?f=13

There is also the TIE+Frans combination - patch available on the TIE nexus page.

Oh and yes I use these with John's Leveled List overhaul, Armamentarium, the Arsenal and now the new weapons from BFG99.

Going through the TIE readme about weapon and armor values, I'm assuming Armament items would be to weak compared to TIEs or overpowered?

You can add MOBS variants of Arma to compensate.

But really the issue with weapon damage, I think, is often misunderstood and overly emphasized. In real life some weapons are better than others. With Oblivion weapon stats matter more when your character is low level and much less when your character is higher level. Because other stats go into the damage formula.

Or use a mod like Phitts Phighting Phixes or Kuertee Attribute and skills damage mod to give more presence - but again this work globally so yes this is an issue if you are a 'stat watcher.'

I believe that a sword regardless of the skill of the person who welds it, is still deadly. That why I've been a huge fan of Oblivion XP + Eyls uncapper. 200 Blade skill basically negates most vanilla combat issues, kind of cheap in some respects, but has helped with balancing issues in the past.

So I'm assuming Arma items are useless with TIE? From what I was reading, the stats were adjusted to fit OOO standards, which would make them slightly overpowered in vanilla. Which isn't an issue seeing how TIE (from what I've read) increases the effectiveness of armor.

Stats aren't a big issue, I just don't want to be using an Artifact weapon against a mere bandit and doing zero damage.

Here, just offering suggestion about "simple mod" that I have been using:
http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2357


I also used to install http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4905, for reason unknown to me this mod crash Oblivion at one point (although this could be to my already bloating save game),

I've seen the Static Level mod before, wasn't sure if it worked with SI though. Figure I'll give TIE a shot. Small file, so if it isn't what I'm looking it not a big issue. Thanks for the replies guys.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=33114 is another, and new, one you might want to check out.

TIE, FTW!!!
It's, hands down, the best overhaul mod out there. Weapons and armor from other mods would probably be weak compared to TIE weapons. TIE does modify several spells so I'm not sure how it would work with supreme magicka. TIE already has rats and cats - no need for that one. I'm not sure how TIE would work with Oblivion XP.

To quote Danny Ocean, that is "a problem, but not the problem," as CUO simply has too many problems to single out only one. Long story short, don't use CUO.

Yes. You can use http://lovkullen.net/Emma/oblivionbyemma.htm with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19370, but remember you still need to install this http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13834 unless you want to http://a.imageshack.us/img819/7921/screenshot09810170.jpg.
