Since this is a very focused guide, intended to help users build a working setup with as few uncontrolled factors as possible, many important details may be skipped.
However, there is a more general page on the site that is directly related to each discussed subject. As for this page, unless you are already familiar with the available mod management utilities reading the first section of Preparing for Mods should prove very worthwhile.
After this step, the rest of the guide, up until the last few modified setup steps, will be focused using a primary installation tool. The utilities and the configurations for the utilities presented below are not specific to your preferred installation method.
More specific instructions will be given later. Many mods are packaged in. This update is required for some utilities and many mods, most notably OBSE. This is the "official" plugin-editing utility. If you want to make mods or tweak plugins, this is a useful tool.
OBMM , Timeslip's mod managing utility is probably the oldest, most-respected utilities for Oblivion. It is a new mod user's best friend. This is a powerful plugin-editing tool. If you want to investigate inter-plugin conflicts or make a quick patch, this is the utility to use. It is not necessary to get your first modified setup running, but later on you will probably hear about its usefulness for cleaning and tweaking plugins.
BOSS is a load ordering utility. Maintaining an organized load order is very important and a non-trivial task. OBSE and its plugins are not "regular" mods and require a different kind of installation, which is why their installation is covered here.
Most of the following are stabilizers, all highly recommended. Unless you are troubleshooting there is no harm in always launching through the OBSE launcher.
The following are all recommendations, and they are strongly recommended but not at all necessary. Pay attention the folder into which the downloaded archive is extracted because the archives vary in their packaging. Since it's so popular If you are going to use Elys' Uncapper --uncaps the level for the PC skills and attributes, raising the limit from to or extract it to or in --extract the downloaded archive into the OBSE plugins folder. In this last step you will further stabilize Oblivion by applying some basic configuration changes and checking the environment you will be running it in for compatibility.
If you wish to try to really optimize your settings, play with the tweaks mentioned on that page and even those in the Oblivion Tweak Guide. You can do that after applying mods, but test between adding mods and applying tweaks to make troubleshooting potential issues that can arise as a result of using either.
Good systems may need a heavier load in order to really see differences. Once mods come into the picture expect whatever FPS you are experiencing will decline greatly, regardless of what system you are running the game on.
A heavily modified Oblivion running consistently around FPS is very good. If your vanilla game is running around those values, using many mods or heavy mods may not play nicely. Make sure the game still runs properly after applying any of the aforementioned tweaks before making any further changes to your Oblivion setup.
It is recommended to install mods as they are listed here. Weapon Expansion Pack for Oblivion Nthusiasts. Really Textured Normal Maps - Updated. After having installed these mods, last thing to do is to sort out load order of the mods and deal with dirty mods. These are referred as "dirty edits" Keep it open. First time launching it gives you ad for supporting the tool creator, but you can safely close the window after a few moments.
It then should give you the list of plugins. Tick one of the plugins that LOOT said is with dirty edits and then click ok. The process is automatic and should take only around seconds. Afterward, you can close the TES4Edit. Repeat the process for other plugins that are dirty, one by one instead everything at once. Static images of game just won't do justice, so have a video showing off what gameplay looks like with these mods.
Music is great for the atmosphere. However, you can balance it out by including your own custom music. Yes, you can drop your. So for my music recommendation, I would want to offer you the music of second Elder Scrolls game, Daggerfall. A composer, Dan Gooddale, had made amazing remakes of the original soundtrack, which enhances the experience and fits well into the game.
Here is an example of the most popular tracks upon Daggerfall:. Why did you create this guide? There are other mod guides as well which could do the same thing and adds a lot of cool stuff. The game is too hard! Bandits kill me way too easier and mudcrabs deal a lot of damage! Spollut 28 Nov, am. Hey was wondering if you could help. Steam tried auto updating oblivion but keeps getting a disk write error now making oblivion unplayable.
Tried all the standard suggestion which was restarting computer but nothing. You know any way to circumvent this by any chance? Callivain 21 Nov, am. Thank you very much! For the fast replies too :D. Valde [author] 21 Nov, am. Callivain, anywhere but on program files, basically. Should I just install it anywhere else, then?
And its okay if my Oblivion. Sorry for being so oblivious pun intended , just been the first time modding without nexus mod manager and the likes. Callivain, don't install Wrye Bash to program files directory. In that manner, don't install your modded game to program files directory either. Hey everyone, Im just at step one of this guide to install Wyre Bash and its not happy with me trying to install it into the program files directory.
Seeing how steam wont start the game otherwise tho, I dont think I have a choice? Does anyone know if it actually causes issues and if so, if there is a workaround? Valde [author] 15 Nov, pm. Tick Font 1 and either one of Large or Normal this determines what size of text you have on dialogues. Vrishnak92, Yes, I did.
ForgottenGamer, Script Extender Plugins by default wouldn't cause issues like that. I suspect you have installed either something else as well. Link, No, it doesn't.
Link 27 Sep, pm. However, doing so fails to load OBSE. ForgottenGamer 19 Sep, am. It was very quick at the start so the difference is pretty apparent, anything I could have done wrong? Oblivion Uncut doesn't add 'custom created resources'. That's misinformation. Uncut merely utilises vanilla assets. I think I'd know considering I created it lol.
As for silent voices, they were limited to one quest only. Not the whole mod, as people reading this guide would assume.
