Help me in this Mod-jungle!

Razbojnik666 · November 28, 2009

Hey guys!

I felt a urge to play Oblivion today, so I installed it again on my pc.

I however wanted it to be a bit different then vanilla oblivion, so I found this site so I could download some mods for my game.

I knew oblivion had many mods, but THIS many?! Wow!

I'm looking for something that makes the game more beautiful.. Like eyecandy!

You know, better textures, better (and more realistic) characters, better whether system etc etc..

Hope you can help.. I'm a total noob on this mod-stuff!

What's your computer and graphics card like? It makes a difference as to what you can run sensibly.

Generally, people start off with a few large base mods and then just add to it.

If you're looking for a new experience that doesn't require a whole lot to get setup, I would suggest starting off with OOO, Midas Magic, Illumination within, crowded roads and cities. If your system can handle that, it should help make the game seem almost entirely new and still leave many options for additional mods that enhance things visually. It will also help serve as a decent base to which you can add other, more specific mods.

Although FCOM would allow for even more variety, it can be rather troublesome to get working right. For someone who's used to Vanilla Oblivion, OOO is the closest single overhaul to the leveling system you're familiar with.

The better cities mod makes it to where you don't even recognize oblivion anymore... Lots of requirements though

These are the specs on my PC:

Core2Duo E8500 3,16 GHz

4Gb DDR2 800Mhz RAM

and a GeForce 280GTX

It runs the vanilla game with no problems at all, with all the settings set on the highest and a resolution of 1680x1050

EDIT:

Is it possible for you to add a link to your suggested mod?

When I search for the mods, I get like 10-30 results, and dont really know which on I'm supposed to choose..

First, you should probably get and install OBMM. This will allow you to install OMOD format mods. You will also need this to manage your load orders, unless you run into problems, the load order should be in the same order posted here.
