Fathis Fix: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2106

This NPC was for one pulling a "Brokeback Oblivion" and sleeping in some Orc's bed instead of his own and secondly he was not appearing where he is supposed to, or if he did appear you couldn't use him as a fence. This seems to fix most of the issues with this bugged NPC.

Deadlier sneaking: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1866

Good for someone with high sneaking skills and low combat skills... Sneak attacks are a joke by default.

Deadlier Traps: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1991

Haven't used it, but was just thinking of installing. The traps are so damn weak.


There is a replacement sky that is pretty cool and some others im looking for right now.
 
Thank god I got the PC version.... Some excellent mods guys!
 
thanks for these.. the texture one is great since TES always has problems now. I can't until i go home so i can try the water and the UI mod enhancement.
 
The BT UI mod is AWESOME. I can see all kinds of crap in my inventory now and my map is actually useful.

I'm also using the water, sky and textures mods. Fantastic stuff! Thanks for keeping it updated!
 
BTmod is a must for PC users imo, kudos to the authors for creating it :)
 
how the heck do you get BTmod to work?? I tried following the readme, but I couldn't figure it out.

I downloaded the auto-installer version of the BT mod and just accepted the defaults as it installed. Nothin' to it.
 
Thanks for the list, I've been looking to try out some mods and this is perfect.
 
Thanks, the auto installer worked for getting the menus changed.

BUT

now all kinds of stuff is messed up. My graphics dont look as good (even though its all maxed), the shadows are totally wrong (stripes across peoples faces) and My character now jumps way higher than before and runs much slower.

any ideas? I tried turning off the new mods and running the game, no diff.
 
Eek! Perhaps check the official thread for the BT mod feedback. I couldn't begin to guess why the mod would affect your graphics in that way. :(

there's a graphics option called Self Shadows. Default is off, but when I turned it on, the shadows looked like crap. I don't even know why it is there.. I have a 7800GT and when it is enabled it looks terrible.

Maybe the mod turned Self Shadows on? You can check in the graphics options.
 
The game is really buggy when it comes to self shadows, on almost all graphics cards, whether it be nvidia or ati.
 
I want the modifier that changes your encumberance. So, someone who knows where to get it, or if I've missed it, hurry the hell up. ^_^
 
we need armor mods, thats one thing i never really liked about Morrowind and Oblivion is that while there is different types of armor, theres not many diffrent styles/looks of armor, hopefully this is somethin that will be done, new items and stuff we would be awesome too..
 
Your link:

Turn Off Lights w/ Water Arrows (Version 1.0)Official Link

Is busted.
 
I DLed two mods that I would like to have work but I don't think they are working, anyone else running the follwoing 2 mods?

High Elf Weakness Remover - Removes the weakness to magic that comes with being a High Elf
Apprentice Birth Sign Balancer - Removes the 100% weakness to magic that comes with picking the Apprentice as your birth sign.

A couple of them, yes... :) But the graphics mods? I fail to see cheating in those.... lol

He might have been commenting on Majin's post specifically...

Anyway, I have found the Harvest mod adds a splash of realism (it removes the plant or portion of a plant after you grab it's contents):
http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=332743

I am also fond of the better grass texture (not one of the LOD textures):
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2415


IT sure seems as if the mod community is making mods fast, I can't really keep up with all the new releases to see what is good.

Did you notice any slowdown with that grass mod? It kinda scared me... :eek:

those mods seem more like cheats to me :p

My weakness to magic is making it imposible for me to complete the Finger of the Mountian Part II quest. I can't find the boots of grounding now, cause I sold them. I have put on 15 spells at once to protect me and I still get my ass fried.
Also any cave that has a defence gem that shoots magic at you, 1 shot kills me.

I have been noticing some pauses in the wilderness, but I also have the 4096 LOD textures and the original Normal Map LOD replacement mod too, so I am not sure which of the 3 is creating the slowdown. All the replaced textures definately give a more immersive feel though (which is then countered by the hitches / pauses)

I have read that normal map LOD (the first one to be release) causes stuttering when people use cards with less than 256mb or less of RAM... There is a 512x512 LOD normal map mod which looks beter than the stock normal maps but is the same speed, but i haven't tried it yet.

I've got the first two mods you mentioned, too. I've got a 256mb 7800GT and this game really cranks the poor thing at 1280x1024. I'll get that 512x512 LOD mod to ease some strain and then I'll get the grass mod, too.

I'm lovin' this game just for all the mods/tweaks you can do. lol

Yeah I have two 256mb 7800GTXs, so i am htinking that the stuttering which has been introduced recently (really only in outdoor areas), is probably form my texture mods using up more than the 256mb buffer...

Yeah seriously, I spend more time trying out new tweaks, new texture replacements, and ini changes.

I just found anothermod which alleviates one fo the things that irritated me about Oblivion. This one adds landmark markers to the shrines and rune stones if you disocver them:
