Mods are what make Oblivion playable for me. True, many of them are fixes, but I don't think they can be classified as "minor" fixes when those fixes completely change how the game plays and sustains its value. And quite a lot of the real content mods out there are intended to have unique moods and explore a different feel than what Bethesda was going for, there are also a lot (such as the Elsweyr beta) that stick stringently to lore, stick stringently to the feel and style of game Bethesda sought to make, and make the whole thing worthwhile.

Besides, even if some mods don't fit a user's preferred tastes, that's the great thing about the modding community: It's almost infinitesimal in scope, so a user can easily find other mods that are more to their style. Or they can request or suggest a mod they'd like to see, and an inspired modder can take them up on it. Or they can pick up the CS and make it themselves, true to their own conception.

*cough* So the freaks come out at night *cough* :P

I didn't say mods svck, just that they're overrated. I'm just explaining to console users that from the outside looking in, mods seem amazing. But once you actually use them, they don't seem as great. I was like that with Morrowind. I had originally played Morrowind on the X-Box and a few years after I had it for the X-Box I got it for the PC, mainly for mods. When I started downloading mods, they all seemed really good. When I put them in action though, not so great. It's the classic concept that what you don't have always seems better then what you currently got.
