Book Jackets. If only for Origins of the Mages Guild.

I like Salmo the Baker:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9545 <--haven't gotten this one but I plan to, as the first one has a few tiny minor issues.

Chorrol Suburbia:

The detail in the landscaping here is unbelievable, and you even get chickens wandering around in the farmyard! It has a working flour mill with a water wheel, gorgeous views, a bunch of new NPCs and guards with guard towers.

Sexy Circlets:

So pretty!

Travelers on Cyrodiil's streets!

I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of nice ones, but that's a start.

So very yes.

I don't really have a "favorite", but I do use a bunch. In addition to the ones already linked, you can try:

OOO, it's a major overhaul and it's best to start games specifically for OOO. Personally I use OOO-Light, since it lets you customize which parts of OOO you use and which parts you'd rather keep vanilla (I drop the slow skill leveling but keep all the magic, enchantment, skill perks, and increased guild difficulty, for example). Plus you can play a hybrid vanilla game with OOO tweaks if you really want to if you get Light (just don't enable the OOO master file when you start playing).

OBSE. Technically not a mod, but it's required for lots of great mods, and a big help for lots of other ones too. The Power is Yours!

http://wrye.ufrealms.net/Wrye%20Bash.html
Wrye Bash. Also not a mod, but a great tool with a number of uses. Mainly there to manage mods and conduct the occasional savegame repairs.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2299
No Psychic Guards, simple and sweet. Stops guards detecting silent crimes from twenty miles away, and makes a life of crime far more realistic. Much more risky, too, since it (optionally) increases the penalties for getting caught. If you want to do the DB and/or Thieves Guild, don't leave home without it!

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10168
Exnem's Female EyeCandy, nude or non-nude depending on your preference. Changes all female meshes and textures to a more, ummm, "endowed" setting. There's tons of armor and clothing mods that rely on it, so if you plan on downloading lots of new equipment mods, this is a good choice.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10643
Almost required if you get Exnem, mods (almost) all vanilla and SI clothes to work with Exnem's new figure. If you decide to download Exnem, get this right away.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6239
Actors in Charge, not really necessary, but fun and lets you get some AWESOME looking effects. Gives you control over NPC and PC animations, so you can make Adoring Fan walk like a lich or get your character to pray at altars.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4431
Rens Beauty Pack, very popular for some reason, but I hardly ever use it. Adds in a crappy little elven race and some interesting new hair, as well as new eyes for the elves. Also good for the same reason Exnem's is, i.e. lots of addons. BE WARNED: don't try downloading any of the "bundle packs" which claim to merge Rens with tons of other good mods. I tried one once, and wound up with Cyrodiil full of Orcs who looked like Botox zombies and effeminate Nords who resembled those overpriced Japanese dolls. Just stick with Rens.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3644
BodyLifting Package. Do you like to drag bodies? Sick [&@%!]. So do I. This helps you do it.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6021
Decorator Assistant. Do you like to decorate houses? Then you need this.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/V ... ail&id=416
Fatality Cam. Do you die a lot? Then you... well, you don't need this, because it only works when you're dead. But it's fun. Jump off Dive Rock and watch the show!

Also, there's another "mod" which isn't really a mod, but I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it. You can remove the world boundaries with some simple tweaks to the game files. I did it myself a looooong time ago, but have since completely forgotten how I did it. Searching on Google turns up nothing but page after page of the same bloody review sites mirrored 50,000 times, so if anyone knows what I'm talking about and can post a link to the method, it'd help us all. It's tons of fun to run around Skyrim and Valenwood, and it's prime real estate incase you want to make your own mods, since, well, it's not got much in it and nobody puts mods way out there.

Codex · Post by **Codex** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 4:06 pm

To take away the boundaries, go to this directory: my documents/my games/oblivion. There you'll find three ini files, BlendSettings, ConstructionSet, and Oblivion. Open the one named Oblivion, in notepad. Search for: bBorderRegionsEnabled and set the variable from 1 to 0. Be sure to make a copy of the ini file before you start making changes to it. If you change the wrong lines, it could mess up the game.

Oh, shoot, thanks! I was almost certain it was Oblivion.ini, but I was looking for a line including "Boundary", "Boundaries", "World", or "Edges" (and of course not finding it), not "Border".

Cookies for codex! Huzzah!

Ohgma Infinium rescripted

its my mod and just google " oblivion mods" and click on the first link... my username is shadowsforu... same as on here.
my mod just adds more skills to be increased when you click a button... it does not increase the increase value at all...

just read the description on the mod page...

I like the quest award leveler mod. Now I don't have to wait until level 30 to do the Dark Brotherhood quests.

lol thanks... I got frustrated that after all my work and leveling for the Daedric Quests, that only 2 attributes and 3 skills went up by 10.
so I made it better by adding more skills and attributes to level up.

Does anyone know of a good mod that changes the leveling system, so you don't have to keep careful track of which skills have went up this level?

Anfauglith126 · Post by **Anfauglith126** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 8:30 pm

Search in TESNexus, under the gameplay changs and tweaks

Doesn't this topic go into "MOD-Oblivion" forum?

oh well. I once download such a "leveler mod" on my pc acount. Not recommended. For some reason it took me like a week 24/7 gaming to get from level 1 to 5. Only made it worse

Yes, but that forum has a limited number of active people.

From description:

Learn why Count Leyawiin hates the Bandits so much. Save the Count's missing daughter.

I wonder why the Count hates the bandits. Hmmmmm...

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 1:12 pm

It is actually not what you think. It is not that she is missing, but why. The story is a bit cheesy, but worth the new and improved Lodge, with more members, that you can command to come with you (essential followers). Full Commanders Armor & a White Stallion of your own. Definately takes Mazoga's Quest a bit farther.

Are there mods actually starting with Rens?
That's a Dutch name, and my freakin name!

My name's Rens, probably you don't recognize it
