As title really, its hard to find a basic guide with essential mods.

I want it to really look as nice as possible and have a 2900xt oc'd, 3.8ghz quad 4gb mem, so whats the BEST setup for the game?

then gameplay mods, i was under the impression the mod to monsters leveling issues was great, but then saw it can increase length of game, while i want the game to be interesting i don't want to play it for months. is vanilla fine for that or are some mods still useful. I read that it makes early game really long as everything is killer to you, whats the vanilla game like in that sense, and what makes it good later in the game.

i played it when it came out, briefly and just didnt' like it. bows were slow and boring, it just all felt slow and boring to me and fighting felt weird to me.

i dunno, whats a "standard" mod setup, for graphics, gameplay but without the need for 300 armour mods, and adding months to the game.

i was wanting a game as i'm utterly bored at the moment, so thought might try oblivion with mods, but its all starting to seem more effort than its worth. mod loading app, having to make them all work? hasn't someone made a streamlined "standard" mod for gameplay + gfx in one installing package and after that i can simply load the game?
 
Yeah the oblivion modding scene is immense and i often feel overwhelmed at all the stuff available, it really transfers vanilla Oblivion into another game!
 
i still can't work out what to do. i'm thinking the obscuro overhaul jobby to fix leveling stuff.

normal patches, unofficial patches i hope fix almost all buggy missions? nothing worse than playing a long rpg to find yourself screwed, not saved for hours and hours and in middle of a bugged mission.

but graphics wise i can't work out what to do, the Qarl's texture pack III , is that all i need, or on top of that the lod stuff and other packs. what do most people do, just install the texture pack.

if there was an average install, would it be Qarl's texture pack III + some other stuff, obsucro's, would that be it, or more stuff.
