Essential Oblivion Mods.

Purdy · 27 Feb 2011 at 11:19

Alright so i've read this thread - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17693564

And just wondering are there any more essential mods people would recommend, i'am mainly looking for ones that are for textures of the world and maybe anything that adds more gameplay to the dark brotherhood. Played this when it came out on 360 and want to give it a whirl on PC modded and actually complete it. So anything that makes the game look nicer really, don't want to change it too much in terms of story and quests etc.

Just incase specs are important to performance of mods i have
6950 2gb
i5 @4ghz
4gig ddr3

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys, definately getting Nehrim once i give vanilla oblivion a good play through, that is bloody ridiculous looking.

Anyone know why this is happening?

At a guess it's the "\new folder" in the install path.

OBMM just installed directly into "\oblivion" for me.

Sorry for inclusion of mass images but.
This is my OBMM, and i think its set up correctly. I installed that mod by just clicking on the qarls texture RAR file is that correct?

I launch oblivion through steam and just check the data files, no mention of textures.

and oblivion looks like that and doesn't look very modded to me.

That is ultra high+8x aa

You probably missed archive invalidation.

Utilities --> Archive Invalidation

Make it look like this...

And hit update.

Qarls doesn't add a data file as such like a lot of other mods, it just replaces textures. The game needs to know to use them, which the steps above ensure.

EDIT: Also this is the latest Qarl's texture pack neatly packaged as an OMOD for OBMM...

Cheers, going to give it a whirl.

Tell you what it takes a long time for it to be compressed.
