First Playthrough Mods

[IxFa]

I have not played Oblivion before

My computer couldn't handle something beyond Morrowind. Barely Morrowind at all, really.

 

I have a new computer though, and this is high-spec.

 

For my very first playthrough of Oblivion, what mods would you say are good to add?

 

Unique Landscapes and Unofficial Patches(Oblivion, Shivering Isles, Official Mods) are a bit of a given, I would assume

 

Any others to make the first experience a stupendous one?

[LFact]

If it is really your first time, the must is Unofficial Oblivion patch(and Unofficial SI patch if you have SI, Unofficial Official Mods patch if you have any of official DLCs). The rest is optional. Play the game at least once, then write down what you want from the game before downloading tons of mods.

better cities

quarl's texture pack

armamentarium

armory of the silver dragon

 

these are all mods to make the game look better. They don't change the game play. Many people complain of the limited weapons and armors. I have a mod that has a lot, but like LFact stated, you realy should try the game without tons of game altering mods. Beautification is great, but breaking the game before you even start is wrong. Also most of the TOQL (top oblivion quests links) is a great place to get good story content without compromising too much of the game.
