☑ Real Hunger with Animation - Best eating and drinking mod that I've tried. ☐ SHOUT - Have you ever wanted to yell for help? Maskar's overhaul seems to supersede this mod, so I wouldn't use it. ☐ Dynamic Levelled Lists - Some sorcery that governs the levelled lists. ☐ ROM Drop Lit Torches - If you don't use OOO but want to drop torches, use this plugin instead, See You Sleep mod has an alternative bedroll mod if you don't want to use this but still want to have immersive sleeps.
WHERE DO YOU INSTALL THE UNOFFICIAL OBLIVION PATCH PORTABLE
☐ Real Sleep Extended with portable bedrolls - If you don't use OR use this mod instead. ☑ Put it in its Place - Enhanced Grabbing - Absolutely essential mod, it simply makes the game better. ☐ Cyrodiil Travel Services - Morrowind-esque travelling.
WHERE DO YOU INSTALL THE UNOFFICIAL OBLIVION PATCH PATCH
You can easily adjust crime distances in your bashed patch "Tweak Settings" menu so that's what I do. Reneer's is buggy as hell though so use Hear no Evil or an alternative if you find one. ☐ Reneer's Guard Overhaul or Hear no Evil - STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM. ☐ Alternative Start Arrive by Ship, Alternative Beginnings, or New Beginnings - I don't know which one is the best to use. OOO to me just isn't necessary and it's a pain to mod around due to conflicts.
WHERE DO YOU INSTALL THE UNOFFICIAL OBLIVION PATCH MODS
Difficulty enhancing mods are all over the place and many people have went out of their way to make alternatives to OOO's features, for instance dropping lit torches. The reason I use WAC over OOO is because OOO makes the game harder and in ways more realistic whereas WAC adds a seemingly infinite amount of new monsters, weapons, armors, npcs, beards, accessories, mounts, and critters which makes the game feel barren without WAC. WAC + MOO are my preferred overhauls but OOO can be used alongside WAC with a patch. As an example you might like TIE if you just want to be a sneaky dickweed. You should look into these mods if you're inquisitive though because oftentimes I have controversial opinions. FCOM used to be popular but honestly it's always been a mess. The other overhauls I know of are ROM, TIE, OWC, MOBS, MMM, and Frans but I can't recommend them for their compatibility problems or just because I find them boring. ☐ Quest Log Manager - If you feel your quest log is cluttered. ☑ Enhanced Hotkeys - A robust hotkey manager. ☐ Map Marker Overhaul - The definitive map marker overhaul. ☑ Dynamic Map & Extended Map if you need it - The definitive map texture mods. ☐ Display Stats - A mod that lets you see previously hidden stats. ☐ HUD Status Bars & its add-on - Many mods use this framework, you might need it.
WHERE DO YOU INSTALL THE UNOFFICIAL OBLIVION PATCH UPDATE
☐ Unofficial update to DarnUI - I don't use this but you might want to.
☑ Rotating Compass - My preferred compass mod. ☑ Darnified UI and this plugin - DarnUI is typically the reason why a fresh installation of Oblivion will crash as it edits the Oblivion.ini, causing the game to look for something you haven't yet installed. UI mods are any mods that add to the "Menus" folder, it's a good practice to back-up this folder just in case. User Interface(UI) UI mods should be installed carefully as they can break your installation, I suggest finalizing your UI setup before anything else. ☐ Fast Exit - Alternatively you can use the function in OSR or OR. If you're wondering why there are no mod packs for the game, it's because they can't possibly work well with Oblivion's ever growing modding scene and its buggy diversity. This isn't a step-by-step installation or a mod pack, so you have to pay attention to what you're doing. And if they're giving you trouble, check out the comments section of the problematic mods' page. Make sure you read the readme for mods you end up installing. I also have a lot of other guides on the website covering mods that you may not see listed here. If the box is checked it's a mod that I absolutely always use, if it's not I may or may not use it depending on my installation. In this article you will see check boxes. The mod suggestions have come from extensive debates about and investigations into Oblivion mods and I've always been trying to learn more, so in most cases the mods listed are the top of their game. It will first cover mods or frameworks that are considered essential - including mod managers, script extenders and patches - and then categories of mods with working alternatives.
This is a WIP guide to setting up a foundation for a modded installation of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
