Need help with my pre-download stage modlist

[Risenz]

Hey all who are reading this. This is going to be my modlist in my next game, so I was just wondering if there are going to be any problems before I dive into

downloading and editing/perfecting anything. I have some questions at the end. answer only what you know if you want to know. Kudos for any helpful answers, or

even any trying to help me when they get it wrong :P. Suggestions for my modlist are always welcome. Sorry for my english, I am Swiss. Thank you all in advance! :)

end (finally)

 

A few questions also:

Where are the ATP textures located, or have they been removed from the site?

Is Bank of cyrodiil in better cities?

Do any of the mods listed here already have depth of field/motion blur?

are there any conflicts I should know about with anything?

any notes or anything?

Should I use the rainbows in tamriel mod? I read that there are rainbows in natural weather, but I havent seen them

I have seen lots of Luchaire's UI mods, and they look very nice. Will they work with Immersive Interface

 

Notes:

I will be using obse

This is not the load order i'll be using (i'd be screwed if it was)

I usually know about patches/SI versions.

I know some of these don't yet have UI patches, but I will use the non-UI mod instead and wait patiently for a patch ;)

I'm going for a Very High but not Maximum detail game, which is why I have so many texture mods and fps patches

As for my mod knowledge, I know quite a bit but not everything about using and them (and nothing about making them :P)

I am running an english GOTY version (disc version, no digital downloads and definately no torrents)

 

Ok I think and hope that's everything, if there's something you don't understand or I have missed, just ask.

 

Thanks,

Risenz

you are installing

 

- Streamline - be certain you get the current version 3.1

and read its documentation about its features

 

- Oblivion Stutter Remover - read its readme carefully

it defaults to attempting to achieve 10-30 fps

 

- Quiet Feet - would that be "quiet feet", "quiet feet max" or "quiet feet complete" - read up on all 3 you may like one more than the others

 

- denock arrow - isn't this included in cobl?

 

- Nvidia black screen fix - included in Unofficial Patch

[yeldarb]

Wrye Bash and Cobl integrate alot of smaller fixes and changes and eliminate almost a third of the tweak mods you are listing.The Uop will cause conflicts in Elsweyr. Install Elsweyr after installing the Unnoficial patches to fix eliminate them.I would avoid SoVvM and try Morroblivion instead.EDIT Race balancing project is a requirement for Choices and Consequences and is a Combination of Cobl races/TNR/ Cobl balaced races. I do not know if it will interfere with Elswyr Anequina. I have not used it myself for this reason.

[Risenz]

Thanks both of you for the help. Kudos Given.

@Fonger: Quiet feet max. I just read that denock arrow was in cobl, gonna remove that from the list. Also gonna remove nvidia blackscreen fix. Just as a question, will I need to install the Natural Interiors version over the UOP version if I decide to get that mod?

 

@Yeldarb Which fixes will those be? Just so I can remove them. Also, I don't have morrowind so I can't install morroblivion, but I thought that was illegal also? Finally the main reason I want to install race balancing project is for Intergration: the stranded light (which I think is awesome) so its one which may take priority over elsewyr, even though that mod is really good. I'm guessing it will cause conflicts with khajiits and the new khajiits added by both mods?

 

Note: Will Miknmel's Improved *insert town name here* work with better cities?

 

EDIT: I've decided to add OOO and MMM and look through the mods for any incompatibilities

Streamline eliminates the need for Oblivion Stutter Remover and Auto Save and Time.I am going to reccomend Auriels Retreat. This mod gives you a summonable storage spell and some mark and recall spells and some fast travel options.Read a post by Tomlong54102? His Signature has links to assist you with merging mods and he has been answering all of the comments for Streamline lately.Wrye Bash has adjustments for many game settings including how long arrows remain on the ground and in a corpse. If you are going to use the HGEC body replacer Download Eves Stock Clothing and Armor Replacer.I think it is a requirement for OOO.It has better textures for Argonian and Kahjiit bodies already included and none of the armors are unrealistic, they appear as realistic feminine versions of the stock armors.P.S Stirk does have a few glitches.EDIT I downloaded RBP and Elsweyr Anequina and visited some cities. I found no missing heads,Nif markers,invisible bodies. I did srew up my game by adding saves from a different computer. I am also recomending BOSS, because it will help you with installing the correct esp's and getting them in the correct load order.
