Brodual, Hodilton, and Gopher were the people that kept me up to date on good Skyrim mods that I might have otherwise missed. Thanks to them, I find it hard to keep under the 255 .esp limit. To my knowledge, Oblivion doesn't have anybody like that; at least anybody with that amount of dedication and professionalism. Because of this, I'm afraid I'm missing out on some good mods that might've slipped past me (which is understandable since I usually take long hiatuses in between playthroughs).
Can anybody name some good under-the-radar mods I might have missed? Heck, it doesn't even have to be under-the-radar. Just recommend some mods that you think are great.

What I'd prefer (but not limited to):
- Quest/faction mods. Anything that adds more content to the game is a plus for me.
- Animation mods. Vanilla animations are...okay. Could be leagues better though, IMO.
What mods I DON'T want whatsoever:
- Lore breaking mods. Don't give me My LIttle Pony mods. That's pretty much it.
So, what mods would you guys recommend? Don't be shy.
