Hi guys
I know there have been threads on Oblivion mods before but I'm after some specific ones that will change parts of the game without affecting it too much (as OOO does) so I wondered if someone could recommend some mods based on my descriptions.
1. No Scaling levelling.I would like the world NOT to level with me - I'm level 20 at the moment and want to blast crabs across the map in one hit and still be challenged by very powerful enemies that aren't scaled to my level...bandits shouldn't carry glass weapons for example. Minotaurs (and everything else) should have one hardness level, they shouldn't take as long to kill when I have upgraded my magic abilities, they should be quicker to kill then!
Eventually I want to be walking across the map killing any nasties without bother (powering through as a mage levelling up the magic skills).
2. More interesting cities
I remember years ago when I played I had a city mod installed, well two actually. The first enhanced the cities - the Imperial City had a second level with a bakery and superb magic shop on the second level, with a spiral staircase to get there.
Also the doors were always open to the cities - no loading screen to enter them.
3. Improved UI
There was a UI mod I used to use, I think it was called DarkUI...would it be DarnfieldUI? It made all the items smaller which was better for a hi-res monitor.
4. Improved graphics on people and clothes
Finally I would like the game to look better, environments and most importantly people and clothes (I'm playing through with the missus - clothes suddenly matter!).
I've installed all the unofficial patches for the game of the year version but I'm a bit green (can't remember) after that...will I need to install mod managers before I install anything?
Finally, will installing any mods now mess with my character? We've spent 20+ hours on this latest venture over the last couple of weeks so we don't want to knacker it up!
Many thanks in advance from both of us for any suggestions!
