I admit, I abandoned Oblivion for a few months to check out Skyrim, but I'm back now. I found that I enjoy each game about equally on its own merits, and Oblivion has ten times more mods that actually work, so Oblivion wins.
I'll head back to Skyrim to check things out in a few months and see if the mod scene has improved, though I imagine it'll take years before there's anywhere near the quality and sheer numbers of Oblivion... I'm not saying there are no great mods for Skyrim, just that there aren't nearly as many, and the few that I can envision becoming must-haves are still in diapers right now. They'll get there. Oblivion's insane number of quality mods didn't appear overnight, either. And unfortunately a good number of modders won't even begin working until the navmesh bug (among others) is fixed, not to mention Bethesda's devs are still accidentally buggering half the available mods every time a new patch is released.
I'm just glad I have so much left to do in Oblivion while I wait. I've been playing this game for almost three years and haven't completed the MQ or any of the guild questlines yet, lol.
Edited because I can't express myself well pre-coffee.
