is NPC's Alive a really good mod? Can someone give me more details about it? Is it also bug-free?

Lance4791's first mod, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27730 is truly a unique gem.

And with almost 2000 downloads in two weeks how does it count as an underdog? Come on...

Compared to 150000 downloads for u no who's mod, I would consider that a drop in the bucket. If the nexus has a million member's bla bla... get the calculator out.

I was guessing 5000 was the mark to reach anyway for an underdog. How about this one. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23680

It's a brilliant mod. A shame that it hasn't been downloaded much.

I've never heard of that mod before, thanks for posting the link

sweet little mod.

Wow this thread seems to have died off. Let's bring it back to life then.

Dynamic Timescale is one of those mods I simply can't do without. In short the mod sets timescales appropriately for specific situations. SO you longer have to spend a day and a half to go through a small dungeon, and then whenever you start trekking back home the timescale is set up so that you can't make it across all of Tamriel in a single day.

Strangely though this awesome mod has only 300 and some downloads. I think this mod should be brought out into the spotlight a little bit more.

I've never heard of that, but it sounds awesome. Thanks for the link!

Downloaded! Thanks!

And here's another underdog:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5661, only fonts, no other changes, easy to install and beautiful.

It simply blows me away that this mod has little to no attention. It's been out since March, and only has just over a thousand downloads.

It does lack animations (but the page mentioned that it was for lack of an animator), and you can climb anything vertical, but aside from those minor issues (and I mean minor!) it's simply perfect.

It's skill based, is extremely fluid and fun to use, and absolutely the only mod I could never live without. It's the mod for acrobats and thieves. I've been trying to promote this mod off and on, but it never seems to get any real attention. I'm hoping mentioning it here will fix that.



:EDIT: Yeah, that is pretty funny, artfact. Take that, traditional ranking systems!

Is it irony that this threat is on top of the 'Top5 mods monthly' one?:)

I used to have that mod. I think it's been eclipsed byt the fact fact that Hex_Off has been thinking of adding climbing to UV. Come to think of it I haven't heard anything about that mod in a while.

That sounds real good...and he'd animate the climbing, I bet. But until I see the end result, I shall parade my thief around using this mod. I like that I can do nifty things in first person like wall jumps, climbing around cants, ledge-dropping, and my personal favourite - catching on to a tapestry after a flying leap. Fun, oh, fun!

Ashven, I thank you deeply for pointing out something so awesome. it's unbeliavable that it hasn't hit the spotlight already.

They look http://www.tesnexus.com/imageshare/images/457645-1260248608.jpg in dungeons if you have something like "Let There Be Darkness" running. :ahhh:

Yeah, I'd say that is an awesome little mod

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=2916 I found this little mod to be necessary.

Yes, a cheat mod but after playing it... it really doesn't feel like one. It just takes away the annoyance of spending hours of your game time fiddling with your inventory.... especially if you have a lot of armor/clothing/weapon/alchemy mods. Huge time saver. No more back and forth inventory trips. No more suspending your adventure until you go back to the city to sell the loot.

Removing inventory weight limits can be exploited for extra gold, but after letting myself do a little exploiting I notice that I really hardly gain any extra gold. After a while, I still default to just leaving the small things that hold little value, especially in later levels when most items hold little value for my needs.

I just role play where I have a spell that transports all items to some magic storage place. Really not any more unrealistic than vanilla Oblivion, where you as an adventurer can run around (without a backpack) with 2 unused shields, an extra armor, 25 (glass) potions, 5 daggers, a couple maces, thousands of gold coins, and a kitchen sink.

I remember downloading that before my laptop crashed.
That was an epic title screen.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25530. Very large mod, gives you a lengthy quest, an unusual companion and a great house, but no one knows about it here because for the longest time it was only available in German. It's in a reasonably decent (if sometimes awkward) English version now, and is really great. Definitely an underdog.

A shame if this one has not been mentioned yet (if it was, I missed it) but overall, my biggest underdog mod (in terms of effect and overall non use by the community) is Dynamic Place Centric Scaling (found at http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23993 ). It is best if you read the readme and also take a look through the ini file, as depending upon what you set, this mod can either cause the world to become more place centric or player centric, easier or harder. Works with or without any of the other overhaul mods out there and achieves some of the same aims as those without being complex about it.

The only downside is that right now it is not compatible with a few leveling mods, but I changed my leveling mod just to use this mod, and I could not be more happy with the decision.

I haven't seen it listed here, but it is one of my favorites.

I have seen some nice mods here, and I will try them out here in a bit. ^_^

This animation replacer for spears is a good underdog example with only 1920 downloads.
