@ XxBeNigNxX

Do you use the Gates of Aesgaard with weathermods, companion, texture or mesh replacements etc?

I read the readme and it was going on about how it should be as Vanilla as possible or the experiance would be ruined.. :/

I can't say FCOM is really... vanilla. Especially as I have about 120 mods loaded so far

FAQ UPDATE:

-Added Reneers Guard Overhaul 1.92 I originally did list this mod a few years ago but had some problems. But it appears this mod has been reworked and upgraded and most recent release was in April 2009.

I do like to recommend mods that are being kept fresh!

-Removed No Psychic Guards
-Removed Lem Bounty Reduction Over Time
-Remove Attack & Hide

The 1st two mods will conflict with Reneer Guard Overhaul and 3rd mod with MMM.

Great thread Jamenta. I've used a couple of mods that you mentioned, namely OOO, I really enjoyed that one.
Now I've got a massive urge to play Oblivion again, with all these mods :P

I think I'll need to wait til I finish my new system first, the graphical mods will make my computer implode.

LOL. Thanks. Yes, Oblivion makes upgrading your rig a treat.

FAQ Update

-Refactored links to OBSE to make it more brief, and added some links to other
references

New additions to Character Enhancements recommendations:

-Added Realistic Physics and Force Package 1.0
-Added Roleplaying Dialogues 0.72b

Both above were also recommended by Arwen from her excellent Arwen Oblivion Mods recommendations section (I'm stealing her recommendations without shame!)

You also can't use Tamrielic ingredients and COBL yet the Aylied Steps requires COBL, while Tamrielic ingrediants is a major part of FCOM... :/

EDIT: Nvm, I took Tamrielic ingrediants off.

I've seen many Oblivion modding FAQ's and lists of quality modifications, but this one is much better, and more importantly still kept updated!

Hmm, I wonder how many GB's my mods will take if I install pretty much everything you've mentioned.. Although I'm afraid I have to skip the texture enhancements as I'm running on a single 8800GT. It never hurts to go a bit more RP (which seems like your point in the FAQ, which I appreciate very much), so pretty much every one of the mods you've recommended seems to suit my tastes.

Can't wait to try all of these, thank you!

Thanks Shiobock!

In regards to installing all the high-end textures, yes your system will take a hit but its well worth it. Also the mod "Streamline" that I recommend in my Blockbusters section
will dynamically alter parameters on your game as you play that will smooth FPS considerably whenever there is a strain on your system resources (it also statically helps improves running overall as well). Check it out.

There is the script change too, which I use. But by damn this game is still a beast!

Granted I'm running 16AF and 4AA with Quarl's TP3 and all the .ini tweaks done... but by gosh and golly when there are lots of NPCs about the FPS goes into the teens :/

The game is running though, which is amazing, the mods all work! I had to tweak a couple and move and swap and edit in the bash file but they seem to be working seemlessly. FCOM installation really is EASY to set up. the instructions are all over the place but the actual doing once you know how is straight forward, especially with BOSS

Thanks for the links on the front page btw :eeek:
I didn't know they were there before

I took one of the sound mods out of there, it's supurb

I think you shoudl include UI mods on there too, they really make a good difference to the game, I use Darnified UI and a colour map mod.

jamenta · 05-18-09

Hiya Unstable,

Yes Darnified UI is an excellent mod and I have recommended it in my Blockbusters section. Keep us posted on how your mods go. Pics are always good!
