I know this kind of thread has appeared before, however instead of just asking what I need I would like to define my request.

As thread says - have just installed and would like to know what mods I should put in.

When I had it installed before I remember putting on something call OOC I think however I remember some of the characters turned in yellow cubes or something. I also remember the mod scene for this game got (imo anyway) very confusing with certain mods not working with others or them requiring to be installed in a certain order or something or another. This put me off and I just shelved it.

Well now I want to play it and basically I would like to install any graphic enhancing mods, and any mods which get past, fix, or improve the auto-leveling in the game.

It is not that I am lazy, but I am sure there are some of you out there who run this game and who can tell me exactly what I need and how to make it work.

Your help is most appreciated.
 
I used the following mods.
Forgive me if I get the name a little wrong as I've not played Oblivion in aaagees.

Darnified UI BT mod (I think that's what it's called)
Qarls Texture Pack
Natural environment (weather an stuff)
Unofficial Oblivion patches

Hehehe, the same happened here. I remember downloading like 6GB of mods, I think I actually spent as much time reasearching/downloading/configuring them as I actually did playing the game. It's one of those rare cases where it's all a bit too overwhelming.

If I try the game again, this time I think I'll be much more reserved and try to stick to just a handful of graphics mods, then hunt down extras if there's any specific flaws I find I want to rectify.
 
Can anyone help!

Just downloaded 1.3 and the 1.31 patch unpacked them to desktop then moved all files to Oblivion Data Directory, ticked the checkbox OOO.esp in the data files in the lancher but when I run the game I get the following message,

unable to find masterfile: Oblivion.esm

Clicking ok returns me to the desktop, checking back in the launcher the oblivion.esm is present and ticked off.

Little mythed as to what I've done wrong so any help would be much appreciated.

I am patched up to 1.2
 
I recently tried to replay it all modded out. Dont think I got the install order right or something and it didnt run properly so I put it back in its case and will try again next month :P
 
great game but i shelved it very early on due to the way you have to level up,how do you beat the leveling up system?
