Since we're all gonna have to be stuck at home, what better thing to do than to play Modded Oblivion!

[LordPalpatine2020]

For me, since I have to stay home until the authorities say otherwise, I'm gonna use all this time to replay Oblivion, heavily modded and all, with a fresh Level 1 character! My mods of choice include Elsweyr Deserts of Anequina, Elsweyr Pelatine, TWMP Hammerfell, TWMP Elsweyr-Valenwood, TWMP Black Marsh, the base TWMP Heightmap, Unique Landscapes Compilation .esp, Midas Magic, Nascosto Isles 3, Underdark OMOD, Windfall, The Lost Spires, Well Diver, Dungeons of Tamriel, Village of Sutch, Gateway Realm, The LAnd of Zedar, Shivering Isles Root System, ROads of Cyrodiil, The Gold Horse Courier, and Dibella's Watch (including it's expansion, too)! I also have patches installed, too, in order to make these mods compatable with each other, as well as the XM Pipe Smoking Mod just for cosmetic sakes! So far that makes it a combined 89 .esp and .esm files (including all Unoffical Oblivion/SI, etc patches, SI, KOTN, and official mods) I have installed on this single copy of Oblivion! Yes I used MTes4 to clone multiple copies of unmodded Vanilla Oblivion in which this heavilly modded Oblivion was once! And yes, I intend to replay this copy from a fresh level 1 character after having put in over 800 hours so far into this copy!

 

So after describing what I'm gonna do with my Oblivion to kill off the otherwise boring time, what are you gonna do as far as Oblivion? What's your recommended Oblivion mods to kill off the time?

The quarantine was actually why I started playing Oblivion for the first time. I remember when my brother had it back when it first came out, but we were both teens and had no idea about the mods that existed or how to do it, so I couldn't get into it because the character creator looked absolutely horrible, and a decent looking character is part of the gaming experience for me.

 

I've wanted to play at some time over the last few years, but couldn't justify the time it would take. With 8 hours of less work a day, plus another hourish of commuting time free, I've ramped up over 100 hours of playtime (and several more hours researching mods and how to work them) this month. It's been so much fun.

 

I have a lot of cosmetic/prettying the world mods (OCO and add ons, Better Cities, Unique Landscapes and all the compatibility patches) and some gameplay alteration mods (the store, crime has witnesses, vanilla supreme magicka, multiple rings/amulets though I limit myself there, it's more to keep things like water-breathing and a light constantly on without switching all the time). I haven't downloaded any quest mods except what came with UL and BC, but my "good" character is almost done with everything he can do with his moral compass and I like to vary questing with the dungeon crawls, so I'm thinking of downloading rebuild Kvatch because that looks like quality content.

 

Once I start my next character who's going to start neutral and turn to bad I'll be able to do more vanilla content. But it's been a ton of fun.

I suggest you play:

 

The Well of Minlorada

The Sundered Keep (has the coolest reward of all time)

The Life of Sir Balin

I never played The Life of Sir Balin and I had a good time playing the 2 others.

 

I hope you will cope with the frequent crashes to desktop in TWMP Hammerfell LordPalpatine.

Hey Addicted,

 

Sir Balin is an excellent story driven mod. I think everyone should play it.

 

Glenvar Castle is great too.

 

Also, Glowplug's mods are excellent.

I can play TWMP Hammerfell pretty well without the rate of CTDs as some people fear!!!! In fact, I completed the Stirk part and the part that takes you thru the 50-celled Old School DUngeon where you gotta get the sword to that one NPC in Elinor, all without any problems!

 

--And then again, I'm thinking the frequent CTDs people say happens to them on TWMP Hammerfell could be attributed to the Oblivion Gates that mod has active for those who havent completed the Oblivion MQ!!!

I'll definitely check those out. I've been doing a lot of research on story-driven quest mods and I simply can't believe how much content is out there.

In Sundered Keep, there is an unresolved bug. If you encounter it, you will have to advance the quest stage. It has to do with visions of the past. When you encounter this part make sure to save before proceeding, incase the bug occurs. If so, reload the save and advance the quest stage. After that it would run smooth and you will be near the end of the mod. Good luck. These are my favourite mods and you should get a lot of fun out of them.

TWMP Hammerfell is a compilation. The Old school dungeon and Stirk didn' give you any instability because they're well made.

The problem comes from the Hammerfell mod which is its main influence. All this mod's editor ID's start with numbers which will unavoidably inflict you many crashes.
