RitualBlack Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 BOSS was initially a tool made for Oblivion to sort load order. It works really well and can be found here. Also, in almost all cases you will overwrite all when installing mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I think it was the Unique Landscapes or Qarls Texture Pack but it asks me if i want to overwrite one of the Unofficial Patches so i just click yes to everything i install then?

M48A5 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Since you are new to modding, I suggest you do some research here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/112023-oblivion-modding-links/Also, before you add any mods, make sure your game runs properly on your computer. Than add one mod at a time, checking in the game to ensure it is loaded and working properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshano Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just installed no mods done yet do i tick all the unticked dlc in the data files where you first launch the game or do i leave it unticked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 First, start the game with Nothing ticked. Make a save right away. This initializes the ini files that are needed to play. After that first save, you can start adding mods. I like to leave the DLCs unticked at first as they will start giving you messages right away. The original intent was you finish the main quest - then start on the DlCs. Most of the DLCs can be done before the main quest is finished though. Basically if you are new to Oblivion, don't tick the quest mods for a while. You are not yet powerful enough to do them anyway. Do tick the mods that improve the appearance of your character, the mods that improve the appearance of the world, any mods that will affect XP or leveling. Go ahead and do most of the main quest - don't be afraid to go off track and do things that are not part of the main quest as you will level up quicker that way. If you don't feel like doing the main quest right away, no problem there are lots more things to do. a dozen or so secondary quest lines - like mages guild, Dark Brotherhood, thieves guild, fighters guild. Buy a house to keep your loot - or sell it as fast as you get it Whatever, have fum. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
