^^Absolutely true

I was just about to post in this thread actually. I hope you are going to continue with this sldsmkd. I imagine you are not happy with the way things went the other night, but this is a great thread which has helped a lot of people

What happened the other night?

Teaf · 6 Aug 2011 at 16:46

Bit of a bump, just wanted to say thank's a lot for putting this together. Decided to give it all a go and it's took the best part of 10 hours to get it all sorted, but got there in the end

Couldn't use the RAEVWD mod, and unfortunately neither the Better Cities stuff, both just destroy my FPS (sub 12). Even with just Better Cities I'm sub 15 fps in all of the cities and under 10 in Anvil and the Imperial City Waterfront, which is a shame as it was really nice looking. Just for note system is an E8400, HD5850, 4GB DDR2 and a regular non-sdd hard drive.

Only other thing I have off is the shaders, going to have a play around with them now that Better Cities is turned off.

But again, thanks

thread was extremely helpful.

Damn right

I spent ages modding it, made a mistake, got frustrated and gave up. Now I can't remember where I left off or what that mistake was. I want to play again but I fear it means starting from scratch.

On that note: I can't wait for Skyrim!

Hi guys!
Thanks so much for the guide...it REALLY helped me out, and inspired me to mod my Oblivion install.

I have a slight problem though: my view distance is 'white' in the distance.

Here is my ModList

jp_bl_68 · 18 Aug 2011 at 20:31

I'm going to have another crack at this. If you don't hear from me again it's probably because I've gone mad. But if you see a naked man waving around a map of Cyrodiil, flinging his poop at passing cars, babbling something about load orders then don't be a stranger!

uInterior Cell Buffer=12 - Keeps more areas cached in RAM, cuts down on loading times
uExterior Cell Buffer=108
iPreloadSizeLimit=104857600 - We have more memory with the 4GB patch, may as well use it

I can't find any of those lines in my .ini file. Do I just add them?

LOL thats so true.

Shame someone hasn't rolled a load of the better mods into a single EXE installer as I am too lazy to get all these cool mods running.

I will, i'm just kind of busy with other stuff at the moment.

That's one of the shaders, SSGI I think. There's some issues with fogging at the moment (or were last time I looked).

They should be there if you have run the game once.

I've run the game and have a save file just after you leave the king and enter your first dungeon. Those lines aren't appearing in my .ini.

It's a retail version of the game.

If you want a good all in one mod. I can't recommend Nehrim enough.
I know its in german but, damn its a beautiful place.
A lot better then oblivion.
I say all in one mod but the qarls texture mod helps too.

Neil79 · 21 Aug 2011 at 21:02

Nehrim was posted on this forum, it's very good but system resource hungry

gomola · 22 Aug 2011 at 19:34

true, I was down to 15fps in Erothin.

madindehead · 22 Aug 2011 at 19:46

This looks tempting, I have Oblivion installed, and I want to try and complete it before Skyrim comes out. Will have to give this a go

I'm assuming it's alright to have Oblivion installed on another drive, just in a TES folder?

I'm a bit confused when it comes to making the OGBE package. Is it enough to simply rename the folders as they are? Or do things need to moved around. Sadly, that bit isn't really very clear sadly. Would be easier maybe with a screen shot to show the folder layout again. Especially with so many shader folders. Installing OBGE sadly killed my game, and after uninstalling, I don't get normal water textures anymore

The entire folder structure thing is confusing me, and annoying me at the same time. If modders make mods, and there is a specific folder structure, why don't they stick to it? Seems like laziness on their part.

Anyone whos using OOO can you tell me how to know if its working? I'm new to this but I have Oblivion working with OOO and Unique Landscapes but not having played it vanilla i'm unsure how to tell anything is working.

Is there somewhere I can go that will have tougher enemies to see if OOO is working?

Cheers
David

I never got it working, but from what I hear if you leave the Imperial Isle you will see tougher monsters.

OBGE is best to go to the TES forums for support. The way they organise stuff with that changes on a daily basis.
