Jamenta, firstly +rep for the dedication into keeping this updated. Kudos

I'd just like to ask, what companion mods would you recommend? I am ideally after one that levels up independent to the player so as not to be overpowered then possibly a cosmetic mod to make them standout from the standard Oblivion NPC's.

I don't know if what I am after even exists but if it does, I am sure you'd know.

Basically a companion that:
- Levels up independently without being overpowered.
- Can loot etc.
- Can use magic to heal etc.
- Can change armour.
- Has a "good" AI script basically.

I think I am in the right thread but sorry if this is not the place to ask, I don't wanna hijack your thread.

Hi iDeal. Thx for the rep+

. For quest and companion mods I reference Dev_AKM's excellent TOQL quest website. Here it is:

http://knol.google.com/k/devnulldeva...com&locale=en#

You will also find on this site a link to a webpage called (you got it) Companion Mods, here is direct link to it: http://knol.google.com/k/devnulldeva...com&locale=en#

Perhaps the most original companion mod of all is Ruined Tail's Tale and is one of the best: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3027

FAQ Update

Added to Miscellaneous Recommendations section Mod "Clean Quit"

"This mod allows you to quit Oblivion in a clean way, with the absolute guarantee of no crash on exit. To use the clean exit feature, go to the pause menu (the one normally used to exit the game) and keep pressed F4."

FAQ Update

Replaced Clean Quit Mod with Fast Exit based on recommendation by "Clean Quit" author himself. "Fast Exit" does same job as "Clean Quit" but even better. Link is here:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22410

This requires OBSE 16.

This is a modified version of Scantis FastExit plugin for OBSE, published with permission from Scanti. It makes Oblivion quit instantly and without errors. In general functionality it is similar to Deathless Aphrodites Clean Quit (aka Exit Oblivion With No Crash Guaranteed). Note that this requires OBSE, which can be obtained from http://obse.silverlock.org/

Gonna spend a good while reading through those, many thanks!! It's great to have come back to this game and find it somewhat refreshed in every department. Had I not been recommended to your thread I may have passed on a second Oblivion outing, so think nothing of the +rep haha.

I have one problem however...I have started the game from scratch with Progress and ngCD installed to balance/correct levelling. However, I am only a level 2 at the moment and ALREADY 45 in sneaking, 43 in security and ~30 in blade. This is way too fast surely?

I don't mind starting again at this stage if I am honest...if of course there is indeed a problem.

Cheers, Jamenta.

FAQ Update: Items Recommendations Section

Removed Rusty Items mod & replaced it with more recent OMOD by same
author that includes original Rusty Items with the addition of Fine Weapons as
well. Both have 1st rate quality thus why I recommended mod originally.

Link to addition: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13302

"This mod provides a modified versions of Windsurfer's FineWeapons 1.0 and RustyItems 1.3 that adds Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul's changes to the items stats.
Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esm and Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esp are both required; �FineWeapons for OOO.esp� and �RustyItems for OOO.esp� should be loaded afterwards"

Hiya iDeal,

Thx again for compliments. Oblivion really has been given a 2nd wind by the mod community, and what amazes me often is just how high quality the mods can be by the players, often outstripping the original vanilla Oblivion in quality and depth.

The levelling mod i use is "Realistic Leveling" http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13879
which comes with an .ini file so you can adjust all sorts of leveling speeds including skills. For example, here is one adjustment you could make:

setGS fSkillUseFactor 0.73 [the default setting was 0.35]

which slows skill progression down.

FAQ Update: Character Recommendations section:

-Added Zumbs Lockpicking Mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17894

"This mod exchanges the lockpicking minigame with real-time lockpicking. It integrates (almost) seamlessly into Oblivion, including animations, sounds and easy configuration."
