djariel1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 What mods should I absolutely without a doubt get for oblivion? Includes texture packs, body, face changes, etc. ? p.s, I have never used mods before, so I'm totally lost on which ones to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkInMKUK Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7and are thinking of modding, do yourself (and us, because you'd no doubt be asking for help with it later) a BIG favour and use Bben46's guide here to move the game from the default install position to C:\Games\Oblivion. That stops the UAC from mucking up just about every mod you try to use, including (sometimes) official patches. Many mods will require you to be patched to version 1.2.0416, and a lot will require the Shivering Isles expansion - if you don't already have Shivering Isles, buy it and add it to the game, THEN patch it (otherwise you'll need to uninstall and reinstall from scratch to add Shivering Isles later). I strongly suggest adding the Unofficial Oblivion Patch (UOP), the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch (UOSP), and (if you have Knights of the Nine and/or any of the official downloadable content files, the Unofficial Official Mods Patch (UOMP), plus the Unofficial Patch Supplementals and the UOP Dark Sister Voice Fix. They between them bugfix several thousand bugs and errors, and make the game much better to play. Other "essential" mods are Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE), and then Fast Exit and Windom Earle's Oblivion Crash Prevention System (weOCPS) - the pair of those greatly aid stability and stop many of the more common crash scenarios from wrecking your game.

djariel1 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Okay I'll get right on that. But my Oblivion isn't on the default install path. I bought my copy off of Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steam directory is under C:\Program Files it still has the same problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
