No idea where to start....

[thefinalhope]

So I just reinstalled Oblivion and want to replay it with MODS. I have got the game installed, and all the addons I want installed downloaded as well, but no idea where to start (what to install first, ect)

The mods I'm planning on using are:

Unofficial Oblivion Patch

OOO

Beaming Sunglare

Ancient Towers

Qarl's Texture Pack 3

Better Cities (Bananasplit's Better Cities)

Let The People Drink

ImpeREAL Unique Forts

Shadowcrest Vineyard

IFT Improved Facial Textures

Elven Map Redux

DarkUI'd Darn

Book Jackets High Res

Clocks of Cyrodil

The Lost Spires

Unique Landscapes

Imperial Furnature

Clamshell Cottage

Animated Window Lighting System and Chimneys

Really AEVWD

Alive Waters

Improved Trees and Flora 1 and 2

Improved Fruits, Vegetables and Meats

Real Lava

Improved Signs

Arena Alive

Improved Amulets And Rings

CM Better Wine

Improved Sky Textures

Illumination Within

Natural Enviornments

Enhanced Weather

Enhanced Vegetation

More Immersive Sound

 

If someone could make a quick load order for me that would be great, but mainly I want to know what to install FIRST. (OOO? Unofficial patch?)

 

Any help would be awesome.

For the load order you could use Better Oblivion Sorting Software - BOSS (link given)

There is a quick and easy to follow read-me on how to use it. The only thing I would recommend is that after you use it (It will sort the common mods very well) you should go to the bottom of your list. There should be any "uncommonly" used/not listed by BOSS mods here. Move them up on the list to similar mods in order to avoid any "loaded last" mod issues.

I suggest you read and follow the information on TESIV:POSItive. It's a top notch resource for anyone, from beginner to advanced.

not exactly matching your mod list, but theres a general install order procedure for many of the mods youve got here which suggests first getting BOSS and OBMM, and installing all the unofficial patches. Also just cause its intended for steam installation is irrelevant: dont have the links atm, but that guides basically a duplicate of a dozen other versions with the same lists/install orders, so its obviously applicable to any copy of Oblivion, and whoever the original author of it was, wrote a great guide.
