Ddeatth Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hey all. I'm wondering if anybody knows any good mod lists. None of the lists in the official thread really catered to my tastes, and more than half had broken links to the Bethsoft Forums. I'm looking for the following... Graphical ImprovementsEnvironmentalPerformance (FPS Boosters)Immersion (Nothing too far out there, though. I.E. I don't want to have to eat food/drink/sleep regularly or anything along those lines.)PatchesGameplay Changes (But nothing heavy, difficult to install, or with a lot of incompatabilities.) I'm also not really looking for anything with adult content, house mods, or weapon and armor mods. If I want any of that, I can find it. :tongue: So, if you know any good lists along these lines, your help would be appreciated. :biggrin: Also, I have an unrelated question. I was looking at OBGE, and I don't really understand how to actually activate it for use in the game. It talks about how it provides scripts for certain visual effects, but is very unhelpful as far as how to get a basic setup running. Any help there would be appreciated as well. :ohdear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ4224 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) To start have a look at this. Some good mods are: Overhauls/large changes Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul this adds more difficulty, weapons, armour and monsters plus a whole load of other things. Francesco's leveled creatures/items mod just about same thing as OOO but slightly easier and IMO better. Martigen's Monster Mod adds a whole bunch of monsters and things. (I saw in your post that you don't want any armour and weapons but the ones that the overhauls add are non-anime - they are just plain stuff). Graphics OBGE - Oblivion graphics extender very useful. To install just extract the components into the Oblivion folder - then you should install some other mods which use it.Have a look at this.Patches The official patch Unofficial Oblivion Patch - fixes just about everything - I think it's essential to have!

It's my understanding that the core file doesn't actually do anything. What do I need to download and activate to actually get the effects working in-game?

russ4224 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) OBGE by itself does very little, but when combined with other mods like this you get very nice results. Just put the parts of OBGE in the oblivion folder and then search for the graphics mods. Other good mods include: Qarl's Texture Pack III Landscape LOD Texture Replacement Edited August 13, 2011 by russ4224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCP768 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) NON-GENERIC PART:Not even these lists? Immersion:http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1053088-deltes-thread-of-immersion-mods/http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/931523-roleplay-replay-a-randomly-generated-job-mod-list/ performance:http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?showtopic=881204 Can't really help you with graphics because most of the lists I know of are probably outdated, and I'm also not very big on graphics mods. Gameplay: I'd need more detail. Do you want more to do? better combat? better stealth? better socialization? more options? what? Patches:In addition to the unofficial patch there's also stuff like guard mods which fix the all-knowing guards, quest delayers for DLC and mods so you don't get barraged with quest updates at the start ofthe game, etc. GENERIC POST FOR THESE TOPICS: If you want the most help possible it helps to give as much information, and uniqueness as possible. Here's my generic written thing for these topics. if you want something specific give more details. I ask some questions in the below text as a small guide line.
