The OFFICIAL Oblivion mod sticky!

Caffeinated, I have most of the mods you have and also have
darkgreen glass armor
arian trudeaux (companion archer or paladin)
saddlebags
dragon knight armor
elven map redux
natural environments
far and away 3d moons
almost everything vwd

I havent gotten everything that I have downloaded installed yet, but I can already tell the mods make a huge difference. With all of quals textures installed my fps took a nosedive (probably 25-30 average with lots of times falling into the teens.

I have a new cpu and 8800gtx coming this week though, so that should improve dramatically.
 
Man I would love it if you would take some screenshots with your 8800 GTX - especially AA+HDR. I'm going to get a GTS very soon, and it is my understanding that their filtering quality is off the chain. I'd love to see what that card can do.

As soon as I get my stuff installed, I'm going to do an updated list of mods and the order in which to install them to prevent conflicts. That's also very important to prevent conflicts.
 
I tried googling and did not find this mod
The 9 Unique Landscapes collection OMOD
Could someone tell me where to get it? Or is it simply 9 different mods and you listed them together
 
Yeah the Unique landscapes is a set of mods. Some really prity ones too.

Heres my list. I made sure that my game remained a balanced, big and immersive as I could.

* = Must have IMO


OOO*
MMM*
Immersive Inter Face*
BT Mod*
Illumination Within
Natural Environments/Habitat/Weather*
Natural Weather Unofficail Patch*
Landscape LOD/No tiling*
No Psychic Guards
Ren's Pack

Theivery In Imperial City
Living Economy*
Alexandra's Wings
Visually Enchanted Weapons*
Improved Soulgems
Improved Rings + Amulets
Improved Facial Textures*
Book Jackets
Quiet Feet
Gorier Blood*
Colour Map Mod*
House Map Markers*
Call Steed and Saddle bags
Bank of Cyndril - Could be unbalancing as it essential gives you free money over time (intrest)
 
A faster system and the following mods really brought me back to Oblivion...

Illumination within
Natural habitat, water, weather by Max
Marts Monster Mod
Hero's retreat (Is this cheating?)
Landscape LOD/No tiling
Better Night Sky
 
Anybody know a mod that adds multiple visuals to custom spells?

Example: My "microwave" spell does electricity and heat damage but I only see the lightning arc toward my foe...I would like to see a fireball ride down the lightning bolt simultaneously...sizzle..yeah baby!

;)
 
Hm. I was going through the other thread, and since half the links are dead/subscription, I thought i'd ask here - is there anyone about that feels inclined to sacrifice a bit of hosting to mirrors of some of the better mods? I don't particularly feel too happy gratifying some dickhead webmaster by signing myself up for some forum simply to download a single file that may not actually work.
 
Never mind, i've managed to get all the ones I think I want besides BTMod; now all there is to figure out is why I get this when I install OOO:

Did you install the extra mesh pack that was bundled with OOO?
 
Uhm, I used the auto-instally thing. There's definitely a mesh pack in my Data folder - was it in the .RAR? Thanks, i'll keep looking.

EDIT: yeah, I only got the .exe, and presumably that'd have included the meshes, no?

I would think so. I did it manually.
 
Ha, yeah, so I only got 1.31 under the impression that it was a "full" install, rather than incremental patch. Mnnnnggh.

Here is what I am installing so far, and the order of installation via OBMM. OBMM is Oblivion Mod Manager for those who don't know what it is - it allows you to prioritize the order in which mods are loaded for compatibility.

Ok, I have all 7 of the texture pack for 512MB downloaded and unzipped, but absolutely no clue what to do w/ them. There's no guide on that site. Perhaps a guide to OBMM? Thanks!

EDIT: I found this. Didn't think it'd be that simple...

EDIT2: Well it didn't work. I'm very frustrated as I lost about 3 hours messing w/ this crap...grrr.
 
So what is the cost for Microsoft points for the 360? I haven't looked much, but hear they're relatively expensive. I just want to know because i think that's what you need to be able to get mods for the 360 oblivon.
I've played for a little while so far. Consumed my life by the way, but that's besides the point. Just want to know about ease of getting mods and also if there's problems associated with bugs in any of the mods for the 360. Thx.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/t/theelderscrollsIVoblivion/

That's the Xbox page for Oblivion, and it has all of the official downloadable content listed with pricing info.
 
Ok... I am a bit confused here with all the mods. Which mod removes the 'auto level everything with you'?


I am going to install oblivion tonight and I am looking for that and probably Quarls 2.0...

Danka...
 
I just installed all the mods in order that I found on a linked site here and the grass in the distance looks horrible. I downloaded about 7 files and installed them in the order that I was told to. That and I was supposed to get some amazing textures close up and they don't look all too impressive. Everything is maxed at 1440x900. It can't be my 7800gtx can it? Should still get another 6+ months out of that.

I installed these, except for #7. It wasn't done downloading when I tried the rest out.

1. Qarl's Texture Pack 2
2. Better Tiling Textures 1.11
3. Parallaxed Qarl Textures 1.0 (includes Skingrad Roof Textures)
4. Parallaxed Qarl Textures 1.1 Update (includes normal map fix)
5. Parallax Qarl Reduced Normal Maps 1.1 (jjtr)
6. Bluesteel's LandscapeLOD NormalMap Fix MipMap Fix v.1.1 (by Soor)
7. Better Tiling LOD Textures (2048 or 4096)
8. Better Night Sky
 
I think I saw a .jpg for something like that in one of the .rar files. I'll have to take a look when I get home, thanks for the links.
 
yes - that image shows exactly how to set the screen for the archive invalidation stuff.. that should solve the issues for sure..
 
Not here.. I am using Francesco's leveled creatures and extra items 4.0c.. with KOTN and it does work fine..
 
I'm fairly new to the mod world of Oblivion, when I bought the same I simply played it without any. I did a search for OOO and did some reading on it. I have a few unanswered questions.

1. Is it compatiable with the popular enviroment enhancement mods..

2. Should I install OOO before I install the above mods? I would think yes, but I want to make sure.

Thanks for all the help.

No luck with the settings. I must be doing something wrong.
 
Well it was a task for sure, but here's some screens.

oblivion.zip 5ish MB

What hung me up:

0. Rushed...don't do this. Read the danged readme Jod. :D

1. There were archives within archives. So telling OBMM to find the file within that mess obviously wasn't going to work. With the help of a friend, I checked all the .zip/.rar/.7z's out. After making sure they all read /texture, /sound, etc...OBMM worked fine.

2. There's a batch file in the Qarl update 1.11 to delete some meshes. (it deletes them all, why not just the folder?)

3. Run the archive invalidation tool (Rev mentioned up a few posts) AFTER you activate the mods. You'll see it change a bunch of stuff.

Here's a SS to see what my OBMM looks like now:

Oblivionmodmanager.jpg


I know that you can define groups, but I found it easier to name them:

T(Texture)1(Order)

L for lighting, etc. That way everything's kept neat. :D

edit: as you can see below, my friend took it a step further...I'm just trying to get into something different than an FPS :D
 
^ Yes, I believe I've tried that. I don't get anything in the right pane of my OMM. I'm following the steps and doing my Archive Invalidation. Here are some screens...



And for some reason when I mod the .ini files I cannot enable screenshots...wtf. Wow, and I can't alt-tab. I think I remembered why I stopped playing this game...
 
I also get some weird facial problems...



Here's a couple examples of my problems. I had to download Fraps to take the SS.
