A bright new build from scratch

[Monglor]

Hi folks, I hope this isn't a monstrous breech of forum rules or something, but I wanted to start a new Oblivion mod build and play it through before Skyrim turns up, and I was wondering if I could get a few pointers.

 

I've modded Oblivion pretty thoroughly in the past, then modded Fallout 3 and now have a big modded New Vegas game on the go, so I'm pretty confident with modding in general, but it's been a good few years since I put a successful build of Oblivion together and I was wondering what the best mods are to go for, if any new tools or big packs have appeared lately, and if so have things changed much?

 

My traditional big three of mods that I'd start out with are:

 

Obscuro Overhaul

Mart's Monsters

Francesco's Wossname

 

And I normally bung Qarl's texture pack on.

 

But that said last time I put a game together it was about three years ago, maybe more, so all kinds of things might be around now. I've looked at the top mod lists, but I've found these to be a bit of a mixed bag in terms of reliability.

 

I tried Deadly Reflex way back when too, but it didn't really grab me, has it improved much since the last couple of builds?

 

Lastly, I'm probably going to build a female rogue/light fighter kind of character, are there any good mod packs that spring to mind for that sort of build?

 

Any help much appreciated. I'm feeling a bit like a newb again at the moment. :D

Lots of things changed the last thre years. Im new on nexus but watched the site for the last two or three years.

 

Try out oblivion war cry,( english translation) and only the boss monsters will level up. :thumbsup I don't like FCOM cause there are too much bugs.

 

The whole Modular beautiful people thing from Japan is definitly great but not on tesnexus.
