Mod suggestions for a new playthrough


Stonga

Recommended Posts

Hey.

 

I installed Oblivion again a couple of days ago. First I tried a mod compilation, but it kinda screwed up the speed of npc's/mob's. Then I did a complete reinstall with Shivering Isles + patch and all DLC's including Fighters Stronghold. I followed

FCOM guide. Everything seemed to be working after I finished the guide. I've added a couple of extra mods afterwards and all seem ok so far.

 

My question is: Is there any other mods I should install before I start my playthrough, other than the ones I have now?

 

Here is my load order:

My generic copy pastes for these topics can be found below, but yeah as one of the main Integration fans I definitely agree with SAMTAM

 

 

Recommendations For you?Can't really answer that seeing as how I know nothing about you.

 

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. You can answer them if you wish:

 

 

 

Lists and resources for finding many popular mods, and some good mods:

(note the distinction between the two, don't just follow mindless peer pressure, try and make your own opinions and find what you'll like)

 

List of lists:

General help in terms of installing, utilities, workshops, etc.:

 

TESCOSI

Oblivion mod wiki

TES Alliance (Check The Enclave forum, the Oblivion forum, or the Voice actor forum depending on your pursuits)

Bethsoft forums-Oblivion: (Hardware/software for non mod related issues, Mods for mod users, Construction set for making mods.)

 

 

List of topics exactly like yours generic pleadings for "Any mods?" that have already been answered:

http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1072579-the-any-mods-list-of-topics/

Read the AZERessential topics to get the basic "get wryebash, OBMM, OBSE, start slow" basic advice for starters recommendations

 

If you want any further help I suggest you tell us about yourself; what you like and what you're looking for... Here's some questions to get you started:

 

Have you played Oblivion already?

What sort of things interest you?

What type of Character do you usually play? (good/evil, theif/mage, roleplayer/random-no-story-hack-and-slasher?)

Are there specific types of mods you think would interest you? (Quests, graphic mods, gameplay mods, overhauls, etc.)

When did you leave?

What did you not like about Oblivion? What did Oblivion not have or need more of?

Male or female character?

 

 

For the occasional "What are your must haves?"

Mostly quest mods: http://kno.li/i

 

My favorite quests are:

Integration (my most favorite)

Malevolent, Runied tail, Tears of the fiend

Windfall

The Blackwood company

Dremora Companion

Servant of the Dawn

Imperial Legion Faction

 

 

Gameplay mods:

 

Hear No Evil

Vector

Crime Has Witnesses

Audacious Magery

Conduit magic

Custom spell Icons

Training cattle

Keychain

Refscope(good for troubleshooting)

Vows and Covenants

Pluke's roleplaying persuasion

LAME (Needed for Integration)

RBP (Needed for Integration)

 

I'm mostly a quest mod player and I recently posted a big rundown for most of them that I've played here and here.

 

(Some of these are probably outdated by now)

S'lider's Copy/paste

SkyRanger-1's

Pseron Wyrd's top 10 (Don't really want a lot top 10's or simple lists but I'm desperate for cop/pastes at the moment)
