Oblivion mods

[Nic Miller]

Hi there guys

Just after some advice re mods for Oblivion - bought it recently and want to get the best mods from the start to make it fun and good looking rather than realise after 200 hours that I should have installed x and y ! Not interested in any'cheats' etc ie saddle bags. I have patch 1.2.

Currently have the following:

Things to make it look good:

Natural weather
Red nebula at night
Qarls TP3
Flora and doors upgrade
No tiling grass
Better looking soul gems
Better looking enchanted items

Gameplay mods

MMM - love it !
The beheading/cutting in half mod
no psychic guards
More life in cities
Street gangs - not installed yet - should I ? Looks a bit hard!
No infrared seek
key chain
Frans or OOO - not sure have downloaded both but think I may go down the route of Frans as OOO seems a bit hard and changes just a bit too much. Frans seems a halfway house - what do you think?
Colour map

So my questions are - Frans or OOO and also what I don't have are any quest mods, armour and weapons. What do people recommend here? I will get the official ones but are there any others worth getting?

I've checked out Mooseys excellent guide and got a few bits off here, but it doesn't really help with quests - and people tend to put huge lists of their mods without any descriptions!

Any other great things to make it pretty or things you wouldn't live without?

Thanks

Nic

Thanks guys. Unsure about Fran or OOO now - don't want the game changed too much but don't want the game impossible later on!

The game is awesome though and just want the best experience from the start!

Keep the comments coming!

Cheers

Ps MooSey - your great big thread is awesome and a good place to start! How would you recommend chosing your main skill set - ones you use or ones you don't ? I like a big of slash and bash so have a warrior - but want to use magic ie destruction and restoration and alchemy. At the moment I have mainly all the skills I always use - is this the best thing to do? I have levelled up quite quickly and am now struggling to beat oponents - especially with MMM in the wilderness !!!!

Thanks

Nic
