Thanks so much for your detailed and very informative answers to my questions as well as links to where I should have been posting all along. Very much appreciated.

Actually I can't seem to find a separate Oblivion forum so I'll try asking here. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I'll try to lay this out logically: 1. I've never added a mod to a game ever. 2. I'm on Steam and have Oblivion. 3. I have a laptop with no video card but can play Oblivion fine if set to medium video settings. But I'm a little scared to go crazy on mods because I don't want to overload my Dell laptop with visual mods it can't handle or run way too hot with. So I've read stuff and it seems I should be interested in these three: 4. Something called OBSE that allows mods to work period maybe? Is this here? 5. Does Steam include something called the Unofficial Oblivion Patch? If not can I find it here and add it and if so how? 6. I'm only wanting these to then find some mod to mod the mercantile stuff in Oblivion that takes forever to sell one item at a time. That's all I want out of all the mods out there now because of fear of visual graphic overload on my laptop. So do I need the two above before I get this and which "this" do I get? I've seen several listed online and am confused. Nothing fancy changing massive things. Just want to sell one item at a time without getting carpal wrist from using the slider bar endlessly. 7. If I find the first two above and some recommended mercantile mod as well then what? How do I add all of them? I see things online that say add to root or data and stuff like that and I have NO idea what they are talking about. I need someone to tell a dummy in plain English how to add/place these things in what Steam folder etc. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me.

Hi I just joined and don't know if I should ask this question here or in a different forum. It is about Oblivion so I guess I should do it there but just wanted to say hi here first and anyone checking out that a noob has a basic question ... err, questions ... and wanting to help I'll post there next ... if I can find the forum that is, heh.
