Building Oblivion

It used to be the case that the Script Extender didn't work on steam versions. Wasn't much of a problem for Morrowind (which i bought the GotY edition and can't get back into to play it ><) but for Oblivion it was practically a death sentence since a lot of mods needed it. I think since then though they've opened it up so there shouldn't really be any problems modding it at all.
 
Hey just an update about the eye issue.

It seems that the Male Body Replacer was causing the issue? :S

Ive just disabled it and deleted it and started a new game everything is working fine now.

Anyway thanks for this great guide!

AFAIK Valve assigned a couple of Devs to the OBSE project to make it work with Steam and there's a Steam DLL bundled with OBSE nowadays. Very cool of them. The Download versions from other places don't work.

Weird, glad you got it working.

Yes kudos to Steam if they did that. One of the reasons I don't use Steam is concern that I might not be able to mod their versions of a game.
 
Great thread Sldsmkd. Any idea where I can get that Thief armour in the bottom picture of Page 1? Plus anything else that might look good on a female thief / assassin type build ...
 
I’ve purposefully chosen not to drastically overhaul the gameplay, the aim of this is primarily to beautify the game...

Meant to ask ...do you use one of the map replacers? I was using Elven Map Redux, (think that was the name,) and it looked much nicer I thought.

It's R18PN - Eisen Platte; http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36939

L-R Adelina, Athol Brose, Eisen Platte, Ghost

(The Ghost one is massively unbalancing not to mention silly)

Just the colourized version with DarN. Haven't got round to looking at the maps yet.
 
Hmmm ... the game had dropped down to medium textures and a load of other graphic options have also reduced / turned off. I change them back, exit game, reload and it forgets the changes. Any ideas?

Streamline. Check you settings in Streamline.ini. If you are dropping below 25fps then it will start turning down settings dynamically.

Also, press ` to get to console and type saveini - sometimes you need to force the config changes to save.

I beat you to it with saveini, found it in a google search. Settings are now saved at max. I'll check the fps and the streamline.ini.
 
Nice thread, looking at some of the location pictures brought back good memories especialy of my time spent as a Vampire :)

Spent a hell of a lot of time on this game "wandering about" half tempted to reinstall if i can find my old game save and mod files..
 
MODS, can we please make this thread a sticky, Oblivion Mods get asked for all the time

Doesn't really deserve a sticky IMO, it's a 5 year old game. I'm sure it'll bounce around in the first few pages, and it's also the second result in search for Oblivion.
