New to modding

Hello all! I actually managed to install mods in the proper order and got a bunch of mods working with oblivion. It was smooth and nice. However... that was all last year. I had to quit oblivion to concentrate on my school work. Now I'm in the mood for playing oblivion again, but I really miss those mods. I could install them myself, but the problem is I forgot how to do EVERYTHING! I forgot where to get the organizer that automatically orders which mods load before which other mods (I forgot its name too), I forgot the mods I want to get (except for OOO - forgot what it stands for - and the unofficial patches), yeah.. I forgot everything. I don't know where to start. Can anyone give me a hand? Like, link me a site where I can read a step-by-step tutorial on how to get mods working on Oblivion (preferably more than 5)?

 

on a side note: Modding was SO complicated that it literally took me a week and a half to get it all working. I lost count on how many times I had to reinstall the game just because I messed around with the files and accidentally edited some.. definitely more than 10 times though lol. Thinking about this makes me wanna cry... I don't wanna go through the trouble again LOL. But I really love modding so I guess I won't mind.

You forgot about BOSS-Better Oblivion Sorting Software. It is the organizer that automatically orders which mods loads in what order. OOO stands for Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. Best of Luck if you have any Questions feel free to PM me
