Thank you Jamenta, you did amazing work! I have read every single words in your FAQ and I'm reinstalling Oblivion at the moment! Can't wait to see the quests list! Lots of downloading ahead!

Wow. Thx for the compliment.

Let me know how it works out and what you
think. Yeah, I plan on updating my quest list section someday, but dev/akm's
recommendations in the link I give are so good and up-to-date it's going to be
hard for me to add anything more to the quests he already recommends!

Quick question: I don't know which mod caused that but the writing in tab are all oversized. In maps and inventory, etc. Do you know any way to fix that?

Most likely the: Phinix Dark UI mod. It requires you to go into your Oblivion profile & change fonts I believe. Take a look at the readme file for the mod, it will tell you exactly what to do.

Question for you: HDR or Bloom?

I'm a little torn. Bloom's AA options are nice for smoothing, removing model jaggedness and whatnot, but once you see HDR in an area (interiors seem to be the best) with lots of lighting.. amazing.

What's your preference and why?

Also, wth's up with "Self Shadows" looking so crappy? Seems lots of people have issues with them. I know the edges of shadows, specifically on npcs, look dirty and gritty when I have it enabled. Do you know of any unofficial and/or third party mods that addresses this?

Heru: My original answer to your question, for some reason I'm clueless on, I said Bloom when I meant HDR. HDR is better. Bloom fakes lighting effects in my opinion, whereas HDR really has more realistic lighting.

Ahh, okay.

So, I installed the huge texture pack, Qrts, or whatever it's called. Is it just me, or do textures only look marginally enhanced? Looks more like he took the textures then just made them look bumpier. In reality, its look crappier for some reason.

Something is wrong. You should see a huge difference right away. (Take a look at my pics a few posts back) Are you using OBMM and using the Archive Invalidation Utility? You need to edit the original .bsa files for the textures to work. Best way to do that is using OBMM.

That must be my problem then.

Downloaded OBMM but at that moment it looked a little too intimidating for me try fart around with. I'll give it a try tonight after work.

What are your suggested hair packs? I have Ren's, or whatever.. but although those hairs look nice up close, once you zoom out they have major clipping issues.
