scottym23 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I recently concluded the Dawnguard expansion and started to think about Oblivion again. I want to start another playthrough fresh heavily modded. I was wondering if an experienced Oblivion player who tries out many mods could tell me the top mods I should get! These can include but are not limited to graphics mods, combat mods, new content mods such as quests, armor mods, and weapon mods. I am not against trying everything, so even if there's a small mod out there that isn't too popular but you've found to be extremely useful or that you love, please tell me about it!

JCP768 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Some of my favorites are in the below copy/paste GENERIC:If you want the most help possible it helps to give as much information, and uniqueness as possible.

Harvald Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 But lets better begin your modding in the beginning. There a some tools you need for good modding: Links to suggested toolsOBSE: http://obse.silverlock.org/OBMM: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097BOSS: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20516Wrye Bash: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22368additional fine is OBGE: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30054 For a better control panel: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10763and better map markers: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26389 now first my suggest for a new body As a Body mod I would prefer a HGEC body nude (female), (male) because tons of clothing are based on this mod. a good sekeleton for most of the clothing mods is http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27945 and a nice skin texture http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20022 or http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19021 perhaps with this http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22870 get a new hairstyles races find yourself, if you like. My favourite Elves of Lineage IIcause there are some fine modifications you find if you search them on tesnexus. If you are interested in Manga like japanese Stuff you can take MBP for better looking People. You need: http://depositfiles.com/files/10ixawqsm then you probably need a animation replacer http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35551 and now You have a fine person walking through Oblivion. for better athmosphere I suggest If you don't like leveling system try oblivion war cry,( english translation) and only the boss monsters will level up. :thumbsup: and a more realistic leveling system Better sound http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39804Basic Primary Needs http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37088bathing mod http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17190trade and commerce http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39255creature diversivity http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26634Economy adjustment: Enhanced Economy No more psychic guards: Reneers Guard Overhaul Unique Landscapes are great and nearly a musthave there are more clothing mods than I can tellmy personal choice in clothing is roadstrokers work http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/42258 slofs mens wear http://www.slofslair.co.uk/index.php?page=modarticle&modarticle/id=6024hiatkkdfemale clothing Rhyks work http://www.zodiac.o0o0.jp/rayk/ryk_mod_etc.html all not to sexy like some things here, for weapons gizmodians work http://www.tesnexus.com/modules/members/index.php?id=341209nicos work http://www.tesnexus.com/modules/members/index.php?id=64989 for better looking Horses http://www.slofslair.co.uk/index.php?page=modarticle&modarticle/id=5p5k6md28n8 my most liked housemod or have a look to Real estate companionmods: Summon Vampire,Vilja, , Saerilet , blade song You personalize your game by taking your favourite mods. No other one plays the same game. Oblivion is in my opinion the most and best modded game in the world. Best quests you find in hot 100 One little hint at last. Do not put in all mods at once. Go step by step and test,test,test. Don't forget ;) have fun Harvald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
