New to Oblivion Mods

[dTd]

Hi, I just bought Oblivion and have no idea where to start. I'd like to know what most consider the essential mods needed to play a decent looking game with a minimum of bugs. I already have the unofficial patches and have tried Roberts Body, I liked the way it was quite thin. Anything else people always use as a must have?

There are quite a few threads in the general section that has many suggestions. It is usually suggested that you play the game at least 1 time and beat it without mods then when you start modding it you will know what you what to change/replace.

 

If you have all the DLC's you have lots of bugs already all the DLC's except for the shivering isle DLC are dirty and need to be cleaned with TES4EDIT.

 

Do *not* use LOOT for oblivion for load order use BOSS instead.

 

It is best to install mods through OBMM (oblivion mod manger) instead of NMM.

 

If you want a body mod there is the set body reloaded here on LL by Gerra6 and Movomo that contains almost all oblivion bodies in it and you just use a spell to change the players body size.

 

The link below also check out fejeena's yellow link in their signature it contains a lot of helpful info.

I suggest using TESMM over OBMM; TESMM was developed from OBMM, has an identical interface, functionality etc - but is significantly better optimized.
