Modding my game

[syprus32567]

Hi. First of all, I love Oblivion. But to make the game more interested i'm installing mods like crazy.

 

Rens beuty pack

several new eye mods

midas magic

 

And many many more, Now my main question is

 

Can u tell me your most prized mods?

 

Mainly one adding weapons and clothing.

Ive found alot of weapon mods, But they tend to add only 1-5 new weapons. And most of these are ''God weapons'' Wich is rather useless. As it defeats the point of lvling in the game. As u can just ''Pwn'' anything with 1 hit :wallbash:

 

The Godshop, or whatever it was called (in waterfront) is great. But honestly most of the gear isent my type, Too shiny and flashy.

''Nudisme'' is fine by me, But mainly i dont want objects that have a insane shine on em, (like black leather would have)

 

Perhaps some small addons would be nice too, to improve gameplay. Like physics or whatever :biggrin:

 

Also i love decorating houses, So if uve got a nice EMPTY manor or castle. That would be great

For weapons you should DEFINITELY pick up all the real swords mods, fantastic mod and it also has blunts, bows and arrows and some armor with it. One of my favorite quest mods that also comes with a great selection of arms and armor is Blood&Mud it has a lot of asian armor and weapons as well as some crusade age stuff and things styled after the city the mod takes place in (bravil) adds nice character. Oblivion Warcry is a full overhaul with lots of new weapons. There's also Fran, MMM and OOO (and of course you can get all four of those in FCOM Convergance) all of which I'd recommend as they all add tons more content to the game, from weapons and armor to monsters and dungeons. I can't think of any big empty castles but Almgard is definitely a big castle and there is space for you to add your own flair to it. Hope I helped.

(like black leather would have)

"patent" leather shines. Apachii on the waterfront is cool. I make my own armor and clothing. but bartholm and MMM are game staples for me

Thanks for that, I'l be downloading the FCOM convergance, As i used to have Fran, And i loved how it added new bosses to the instances. Gave a fresh feeling to the game (as i LOVE instances)

 

Mainly asking for an Empty house, As with it you can make everything look exzacly as u like. I dislike downloading houses. Wich are already fully furnished. As it feels like its not realy your house (Imo)

 

"patent" leather shines. Apachii on the waterfront is cool. I make my own armor and clothing. but bartholm and MMM are game staples for me''- Yes indeed i know some of its supposed to shine, Somewhat like latex or so. But its not just the leather, Alot of the headpieces/the special ''gloves/metallic gloves/nails'' they all have this rather ''anoyying'' shine/glow about them.

 

Nonetheless, All his work looks phenominal. Its just not all ''my style''

 

-Much love-

Also, thanks for the real swords mod. It looks fantastic, Just a bit anoyying that u have to download them one by one.

Mainly because i'm a EU player, And the servers are located in US soil.

 

Nonetheless I shall download them all. As they look phenomenal.

 

 

Any more usefull mods? Please add them here.

 

-Much love-

Ive also noticed not all my addons are loading, for example ive got one that should add new combat sounds/city sounds/dungeon sounds.. But its just not loading :S Ive got Oblivion mod manager, And use OBSE to load my game.

 

i remember something about a archiveinvalidation file. But i believe i did download it (was implimented with another addon that needed it)

You don't need Archive Invalidation for sound files plus OBMM will do that for you for textures if you read the instructions.

 

You don't say which sounds mod you're using, but if it has an esp or even if it doesn't, if you installed the sounds to the correct directory they should be noticeable in game.

 

There was one that I was using for awhile that added city sounds and I know that one worked. I removed it because even though it was good, there were no horse drawn carts, dogs, crowds etc to make it realistic. Having the sounds and no visuals to back it up just didn't do it.

 

Any mod that adds sounds should be subtle and not over the top so if it's installed correctly just play for awhile and take notice of any differences. I have Symphony of Violence which adds better weapon and battle sounds among others and it is much better than the vanilla sounds. A sword being drawn from it's scabbard actually sounds like it should and bows are more realistic etc.

Theres a reason why i dident add it straight from the bat, Because i just dident remember the name, After some digging, I found the file name, Its BetterMusicSystem (Should find it if u do the search)

 

But i'm not sure why it doesent work, It should also add ''heavy'' breathing when your stealthing in instances etc..

 

Ive followed the read-me to the bone, And its not the first mod ive installed xD But currently its just 1 mod that doesent work, the other (30ish) do.

 

Anyway, I'm not that botherd. Pref i would have people add mods they realy believe ''improves'' they're gameplay.
