Essential mods?


PoisonedV

Recommended Posts

Hi, so, I've been playing Oblivion for the past couple days, 3 or 4 hours, I'm currently going to kill some guy for the Dark brotherhood. Anyway, I love it, it's like fable but better. My question is, what are the essential/best mods for this game? I looked at lists on blogs and sites but they were all outdated. I'm generally looking for things to improve interface, graphics, fix bugs, and other good things. (the only mod I have right now is snail race) Also, I heard there was a mod that made your vision get fuzzy when you drank alcohol? If there is already a recent topic about it please just tell me then delete this, I don't want to clog up the forum. If you have any favorite mods that don't unbalance the game feel free to tell me about those too.

The best and most stable are the top 100, here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/top.php

 

You will see many lists of what certain individuals consider absolutely necessary, but it s all subjective. They might not like what you like and vice versa. Try them, but not all at once. Pick two or three maximum at a time. Be sure to read the readme that should be with each one first to be sure it doesn't interfere with something else and that you have what is needed for it to run. Don't worry about what everybody else uses, use the ones you want - and have fun.

JaySuS Capes!

try that one :) it adds capes to all the guards and even some to you... no conflicts... no trouble... just beautification at its finest... enjoy!

lol i love advertisement XD but its really good... you must believe me in this...

 

as to OOO, well basicly anything that changes default oblivion stuff will conflict with OOO sadly... but its prolly worth it - you can try it tho maybe youll get a very individual gaming experience as the 3 mods might overwrite each others monsters thus youll end up with a fantastic new gaming experience never seen before... but itll prolly just crash

what i enjoy is the Open Cities mod. Cant remember who does it, but basically all cities (except for IC) dont have their gates closed, so everything is more open and theres less loading. but you do need a good rig for your game to run smoothly afterwards

Alright, and is it possibly to have Martigen's Monster Mod, OOO, and Fransecos creature/item mod all at once?

 

For any new Oblivion MOD users looking for the best MODS

 

I suggest looking at the FCOM / TOTO page for the best MODS.

That being said, I've tested many many Mods in the past year and made a list of the ones that are my favorites and really changes Oblivion competely. With these MODS installed the gameplay and graphics of Oblivion will change drastically. I apologize to anyone's great MODS I have not included.
