What Visual Mods Can I Use?

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 4:44 am

Hey Everyone,

I been trying out different mods to help me enjoy oblivion more and I was wondering giving my pc specs what would be a good compilation of visual mods that I could use and still play oblivion with little lag?

Here are my specs

Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit OS
RAM 4 gigs
GPU Nvidia Geforce GTS 450
Processor AMD Athlon™ 7750 Dual-Core 2.70GHz

Thanks for your help. If you need any other information I would gladly provide it. I definitely am looking in the lines of character models redesign and possibly landscapes if my pc can handle it. Also additional mods I could support would be nice...if I can that is, for example more creatures or additional trees etc.

Any of the Unique Landscapes I'd highly recommend. Not bad at all as far as performance goes and they add some amazing scenic areas to the game.

Improved Trees and Flora is another lovely one: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8500 and http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11891 They won't impact badly on performance and they really are gorgeous.

For better looking NPCs, Xeo is a great one: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22787

I like this one for a few more trees in the cities: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25621

This particular Unique Landscape adds more trees to the Great Forest: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11164

Just off the top of my head, those are a few good ones to try out :whistling:

Watch out for the changes to http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/22787-1-1256568805.jpg, though, with that one. It's not everyones cup of tea. An alternative is TNR, which changes face data. There are also versions of it made for Cobl Races and RBP.

Arkngt is right about Xeo not being to some people's tastes.

It has its flaws, but compared to Vanilla I much prefer it. Easy enough to disable it if you don't like the results :D

Also, if you do a search on Tesnexus for 'normal maps' you should find some good ones. When it comes to visual improvements, they can make a big difference detail-wise :thumbsup:

Alive Waters is great mod.

Natural Environments is another ripper too :liplick:

lol well that is good to know ^_^ I am trying to get a compilation of visual mods to let me enjoy the game to the fullest but I am obviously limited to my pc's ability to run them. Just finding a list until I can figure out this weird glitch when I get hit the screen goes all wacko >_<
