Hi TaiDinh. Yeah, I agree Oblivion is awesome!

Check out my MOD Recommendations in my FAQ, which is the first post on this forum. If you're looking for realism I would start with my recommendations in the World Textures Group & the Character Textures Group. I also strongly recommend you download and install all the mods I list in my Blockbuster group (or at least get Oscuro's Overhaul, Natural Environments, and the unofficial patch).

Have fun!

Would installing 2-3 overhaul mods mess things up?

Yes. Usually you need to pick one Overhaul Mod and then research what other big mods are compatible with it. All the mods in my recommendations section I play with in my own game and they do not conflict in a major way (some minor conflicts tho). Oscuro's Overhaul Mod is probably the best to get, it's huge, has had the most dedicated work by Salgudo, and even won Gamespy's best Mod of the year award.

Well, I'm wondering around and I see big yellow polygons. Could this be my video card? Even most of the monsters are square with a blue ! in the middle.

Hmm, not good. It's not your video card. Likely is you need to edit Bethseda's .bsa texture directly, and the best way to do that is using the Oblivion Mod Manager or OBMM. Read the instructions on the mods you installed, and check out the Archive Invalidation utility in OBMM.

Can you list all the mods you are using?

It is the most beautiful game I've ever played. Oblivion really is a next-generational leap in computer gaming.

And you're in for a treat Tai, because those are just stills. In the game,
you see the rain fall, the trees sway, and the sun set.

Note: the quality of those pics do depend on the player mods that effect textures and
lighting.
