New to Oblivion, want to start with the best mods

[Lucidx]

I'm new to oblivion on the pc, ive played through it on the xbox 360, but i only did the story, and not much roleplaying.

 

So far ive downloaded natural environments and all the modules, brighter torches included and I have start by boat which is really cool.

 

I kind of don't want to do the hole oblivion gate and daedric thing, i just kind of want to do adventuring, is there any mod that makes Kvatch just a normal city and disables the main questline?

 

Also, what are some major mods that I need to have (except for better citys)

 

Besides the major ones, what are a few small ones that enhance the game alot?

I never even played the main quest, I just did the boat start and went from there.

 

I think there is one that makes Kvatch all not destroyed and stuff, but you can't go in it, but I have no clue what it is. There is Kvatch Rebuilt, but never having done the main quest, I couldn't tell you how it is and you have to save Kvatch, first.

 

A great series of enhancing mods, in my opinion are the Unique Landscapes. They take otherwise bland areas of Cyrodill and make them truly amazing and breathtaking. I downloaded this series before I even booted the game. This is an OMOD, which requires Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) to unpack. Once downloaded, you'll get a lighter version of the Oblivion symbol after extracting your mod to your Data Files, double click it and then double click the Unique Landscapes in the right column.

 

Then there are CM Companions. This adds many, many companions to the game, from Barbarians to Assassins. While great for following you around and helping you kill all sorts of things, I find they're also good for livening up large, empty player houses. It's also fairly simple to make your own, should you need one for a specific purpose. This also comes in an OMOD with an optional manual install.

 

There are also hundreds upon hundreds of house mods for your player. I'd start at Oblivion's Real Estate to look for a house, castle, estate, and more, suited for your character, they have virtually everything.

 

If you have anything specific, such as armor, clothing, weapons, etc., you can do a search here on TESNexus and if you don't find what you're looking for, there are loads of people here who may have the answer, and if such a Mod doesn't exist, just suggest it and someone may make it.

The best mods are on Tesnexus' top 25 for a reason, start there.

Okay, thanks guys, I'm going to check out Kvatch rebuilt, cm companions and unique land scapes right now.

 

I went to the top 25 and got a few mods there too.
