Introduction

>> Guide still under construction! <<

Why did I make this?

How do you organise your mods?

How do I install all these mods?

There are many mods you didn't include! Why is that?

Are these mods compatible? What about performance?

This is a comprehensive list of the best mods available for Oblivion, categorised by function, along helpful links and insight - all so that you may have the best possible experience.I found myself reinstalling windows, or switching hard drives and being too lazy to back them up and eventually losing my mod configurations. I always mod the game again before starting another playthrough, and to centralise everything and make sure I never miss a mod again, I decided to make my list here, where it can also be public for you, the other players to benefit from it. I hope you like my list and that I was helpful.I recommend that you create a separate folder called Modding somewhere other than your Steam Library where you'll keep your mods. From there, you can organize them in subfolders for better cleanliness. I made folders based on functions. So I have Graphics, Gameplay, Immersion etc but you can create them however you want. Another advantage of sorting them like this is that if you plan to back this up for a hardware replacement or an OS install, you can easily figure out what goes where. Also, I wouldn't bother with NMM updates, as most of these mods are not getting updates anymore, so downloading them and keeping them here will be just as good.Most of these are installed via a few clicks in NMM, while other require a bit of extra tinkering. Explaining that in a short fashion would be counter-productive and confusing, and giving an extensive tutorial is outside the purpose of this guide. But don't worry. A quick google will reveal any unclarity you may have.It is not my purpose to list every mod in existence, that is the job of the Nexus. I am just listing my selected favorites which I run (almost all at once) in my game. These are certainly my subjective opinion and is open to criticism, but ultimately, this is my mod showcase, not encyclopedia. You may also notice I don't have any Wrye Bash mods. I just don't like the program, so I chose not to benefit from its mods. You however, can customize your game however you want. That's why you are a PC gamer - you have the choice to have whatever experience you want, however you want it.All the mods listed below are being used by myself simultaneously. There are some great mods that I haven't included due to conflicts and drastic drop in framerates. On my rig (specs in my profile description) the mods below still allow my game to run at a stable 60 FPS, as it should.
