In terms of graphics mods, right? Because I'd say you're missing tons of great quest mods, immersion mods, small gameplay expansion mods, etc. That's just based on my personal interests and necessities; yours may be different.

my usual copy/paste for these topics:
It has some useful links, some of my recommendations, and some questions for you if you want to answer.

If you want any further help I suggest you tell us about yourself; what you like and what you're looking for... Here's some questions to get you started:

Have you played Oblivion already?
What sort of things interest you?
What type of Character do you usually play? (good/evil, theif/mage, roleplayer/random-no-story-hack-and-slasher?)
Are there specific types of mods you think would interest you? (Quests, graphic mods, gameplay mods, overhauls, etc.)
When did you leave?
What did you not like about Oblivion? What did Oblivion not have or need more of?
Male or female character?

For the occasional "What are your must haves?"

Mostly quest mods: http://kno.li/i

EDIT:

I'll list my text and sound mods as they have no esps

Oh, I see... I missed that part. So that's why it looked like texture/sound oriented mod install. Still would be helpful to know your interest, and still a lot of great quest/gameplay type mods that could be added
