stealtrecon, Thanks so much for this kind offer. I would have two things to suggest to Bethesda. - Do something about the game crashes. Oblivion is so hard to maintain. Maybe they can do it such that if a mod makes the game crash you cannot install it or something.. - Daggerfall style music system. I use BMS to correct for this. But when you enter a tavern, the same music should stop playing. Tavern music should start, maybe even a couple of performers on the corner like in Daggerfall. Thanks again, and all the best, Melkor

Me want it be easy Me want who clicks mouse faster kills Me want only one move other moves make it hard for me understand Me want hit computer hard if me hit my guy win fight ... Well, let's hope it won't be so bad at least :)

I want the characters hair and clothes to ripple in the wind or get covered in snow when it snows. and please Daggerfall's music system (or Better Music System)

It is going to be the best game ever! Thank you Bethesda, I wish a lot of fun for me and a lot of money for you!

Guess what? I did do a full reinstall to outside of the program files folder and it worked! I now use Wrye Bash! (But I do not yet know a lot of stuff about it, for example I don't know what's a bashed patch..)

I do have the same exact problem. How can I get the ripples back? (Yes, removing obge dll does solve the transparency issue, but I really like the ripples :( ) Thanks on advance for all the help! FOUND IT! It's the Water Reflection Blur mod that causes this. It is even on the official thread: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/111341-water-reflection-blur/page__st__20__p__2346551#entry2346551

Normally in the game you can select different types of music to play only in limited circumstances like while outdoors, in a town, in battle.. But with BMS you can sort your favorite music depending on where you are (in a house, in a tavern, in an ayleid ruin, in a mages guildhall...), when it is (day, night, night in a town), what you are doing (riging, fighting, swimming...), what part of Cyrodiil you are at (the great forest, jerall mountains...) etc. Needles to say, I am a huge fan of it.

Thanks for your reply Smooth613! So that was my problem all along... I will reinstall Oblivion outside Program Files as you said. I will back up my Data folder and just replace it with the new empty one. I will also reinstall SI and all the official, non-official patches. Hopefully then it will work. Thanks again!

Ok, so I did give it another try and again I failed :( Here is what did: 1. I downloaded and installed "Wrye Python 03a" (I said "yes" to every question by the installer). 2. I downloaded "Wrye Bash 289 - Archive Version - Full" and extracted to the Oblivion\data folder. 3. I downloaded "Wrye Bash 290 - Archive Version - Update Only" and extracted to the Oblivion\data folder. 4. I double clicked "Wrye Bash Launcher" as in the below pic: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8733/wryt.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us 5. Nothing happened when I double-clicked it. 6. I opened "Run" and typed cmd.exe and typed chdir C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Mopy and then typed c:\python26\python.exe bash.py 7. I got the below stuff: http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/465/bugdump.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us And I do not know what to do next. The Wrye Bash readme does not say what I need to do with this bugdump (?). I still made it further than my last try though :)

Stupid me! I did not pay attention to that! I hope someone turns it to a nice mod soon! :)

You don't like Jeremy Soule's music, then? I just replaced all the in-game music with MP3s from my own library, except for the title screen and battle music. No don't get me wrong I do love Jeremy Soule's music for TES.. I also use A LOT of other music but the original tracks are great. I just don't like the fact that they do not depend on the time of the day, type of building, region, type of ruin/dungeon, etc. Better Music System solves this to a large extent..

I was looking for such a mod and came across this modder's resource by Vacuity http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35590 I was wondering if there is also a mod

To add to my previous post: Fable series soundtracks are pretty good for night, ayleid ruins, and mages guildhalls. Also Runes of Magic tracks, Warcraft Cataclysm music, and Battle for middle earth soundtracks are pretty good. I never played any of these games by the way :)

I hate the music system. Lucky we have BMS to deal with that. Daggerfall was great in this aspect but for Morrowind and Oblivion music categories were grouped only by explore, battle, dungeon, public... Music should be more variant. When you enter a tavern tavern music should play.. forests and ruins also should have different music.

Public outcry? So what? It's just a goddamn video game! Totally fake. Not real. Made up. If they can have kids in Fallout 3, they can have them in Oblivion! Bethesda had better learn from this and fix all these problems once TES5 gets out the gate. Especially all the glitches that they never fixed--it's like they just didn't care. Then there's the official plugins. They know we like the plugins--why not just put them in the game from the start? They could make kids so that you cannot kill them (e.g. your sword goes right through them).

Did you have any trouble getting it to work? When I tried (for a long time) to install Wrye Bash there were problems within problems :( I was also frustrated when I could not do what the readme casually tells me to. I had a similar issue with "Godrays" but after some struggling it worked ok. I guess after what you said I should give Wrye Bash another try sometime . Thanks! I've installed several different versions of Wrye Bash. The only non-windows-security related problem that I had was when I installed WryePython03 (no-a) and found that part of the installer was broken and I had to manually run the installer for wxpython. That defect was fixed in WryePython03a. Otherwise, I usually run into "should I or shouldn't I run as administrator" and remember to create and modify the bash.ini file. EDIT: Also, I always install from the archive releases of WryeBash - never the exe installer. Thanks Shadowfen! I will try to install again (as soon as I have some time) paying extra attention to your posts and the other posts on this thread. Then I will write the outcome here for any other members that may be facing similar problems.

I hear you man. I also have windows 7 and tried everything on the readme without any success. I am convinced that Wrye Bash will never work for my game. I have Windows 7 - 64 bit and it works fine for me. Actually I have Oblivion and Wrye Bash installed on two win7 systems - one with UAC security turned off (not networked) and a default install location; and the other with full UAC and an alternate install location. Both work happily. Really, it is possible to do... Did you have any trouble getting it to work?

Actually Tamira made it as a lightsource just like a torch. I said that it would be cool to also use it as a shield so the author updated the mod to include both versions. To use it as a secondary weapon could also be really nice but I don't know if that can be done.. For example right click = Sword attack, Left click = Staff attack. http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=33934

Daedra Spider. Good think they are all done for in my game :)

I hope there will be people out there that can help you. I will follow this thread since I use the gandalf lightstaff (shield) mod and it would be really cool to hit my enemies with it and then slash them..

I was wondering if there is any mod other than Adrenaline Fueled Combat that allows different combat outcomes depending where you shoot the guy with an arrow. Basically, I am ok with the fact that I may need to shoot an NPC multiple times if I keep hitting him on his elven cuirass but it would be cool if I hit him on the head (unless he has a helm) or face or heart (if he does not have armor) for an instant kill.

I like this one: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5347 It changes the looks of the shock (on target) spell. It looks like a beam of lightning and it is much faster.

I think it would be great if there was a combat mod out there that adds more realism. Mods like deadly reflex and Stylish (in my opinion) just make Oblivion less realistic. I find the vanilla combat more real. I do not want to fight like a samurai, ninja, anime character, etc. But I do want stabbing, better blood, locking the swords and pushing, and so on.. But not like a Japanese person. I like Japanese culture but it simply does not fit TES, just like Arabic or Chinese flavors will not fit. So I want combat more like Luke vs Vader rather than Obi-wan vs Anakin.. Speaking about better blood, I tried out deadly reflex and excuse me being so direct but the blood sucks! The whole body is covered with some shiny jel if I shoot a guy with an arrow (yes, I did try out the blood mod for DR). When you slit the NPC's throat, it looks like the guy is pooping out of his throat rather than bleeding. I wish there was something less exegerated and more real.
