Well, there are mods and then there are mods...

Sorry if that sounds, I don't know, however it might sound. But it's true.

For example, there's say, "A Takes All" (which I can't see impacting perfomance much if at all), and then there's say, "Better Cities" (the whole thing, without FPS patches, which can murder FPS). Worlds apart, really.

Anyway, if your PC can run Oblivion, it can run modded Oblivion. Just go cautiously, install mods one or two at a time. You can always backtrack - particularly so if you happen to use BAIN as your install method.
