RULES

  1. Be Respectful. This is one of the most important rules. Possibly the most important. We have worked hard to cultivate a positive environment here and it takes a community effort. No harassment or insulting people. There are a lot of mods that do similar things and people have preferences...debating those preferences is fine, insulting someone based on their choices is not.

  2. No Piracy. If you submit a link to or explain how to obtain pirated material you will be banned. If you discuss piracy or seek help in modding a pirated game you will be banned. This is not debatable.

  3. NSFW Content There are a wide variety of body meshes and armors that are NSFW. Posting about and discussing the use of these is fine. Sexual content is not (mods/galleries/screenshots that involve sexual acts). There is a dedicated forum for this type of modding over at LoversLab. Take it over there.

  4. Memes, gameplay stories and screenshots go in /r/oblivion. This is a sub centred around the discussion of modding and creating mods. Memes, gameplay stories and screenshots do not contribute to this whatsoever and we respectfully ask that you keep them off of this sub. It is safe to assume that most of the people subbed here are also subbed at /r/oblivion and will see your post over there.

  5. Help. If you ask for help and are helped by another user. Say "thank you" and let them know if your problems/issue/question was solved or answered.

Nehrim Question

What mod can I use for Nehrim that makes the third person feature look better? Because the last time I used it it felt pretty stiff and it made it hard to see some things. I want this so that I don’t feel like I’m playing a knockoff of oblivion and more like a completely different game.

OBME Detects CustomSpellIcons.dll despite not being anywhere on my computer

I'm not sure how I could elaborate on this much further. The game crashes on loading a save implying that it's somehow there despite being nowhere in my plugins folder, or anywhere else on my computer. I originally had the original CSI but uninstalled it completely. Disabling the updated CSI does not fix the issue.

Edit: upon creating a new save, the game loads as normal but crashes in the magic tab, most likely trying to find the dll.

How to modify "Beards in Tamriel" ?

Beards in Tamriel is a mod that adds beard to several NPCs in the game.

I would like to add/remove these beards on some NPCs. How could I do knowing that the mod folder is only composed of textures and meshes?

Modlists

Hey all - I have a desire to play some Oblivion again with some nice visual mods and QoL fixes but no huge overhauls to gameplay or content. There was a modlist called Heartlands on Wabbajack but I can’t seem to locate it at all now in the app, nor can I find any other Oblivion modlists in the there.

I previously played a fun one called Dungeons and Daedra which has since been removed, but that was pretty unstable and changed loads of features and content.

Any suggestions or recommendations? Sometimes Wabbajack can be a little janky with loading lists so it may have just been that. Whats the best stable list for visuals in 2024?

Thanks in advance

Game immediately crashes after only a few minutes of play

I stress test my build by running through the wilderness since Oblivion seems to have a lot of trouble with this. After only about maybe 15 seconds of running around I CTD with zero errors. Have only a few but pretty heavy mods installed. Yes I realize that running BC and UL is a bad idea but the crashing still occurs when I uninstalled UL.

Mods here: https://imgur.com/0a1BaVo

Installers here: https://imgur.com/uDzEptK

Plugins here: https://imgur.com/PjjoiR7

It used to crash after a few minutes but somehow it's gotten worse. Yes I use the 4GB patcher, patches, enginefixes, moreheap, etc. I've tried everything but Oblivion refuses to stop the crashing. I'm using messagelogger too to see if I could find the culprit that way. I don't really know how to interpret all this and I don't know if anyone here would either. But here's the text file anyway: https://pastebin.com/SPxWk5J7

I think it might be something obvious that I'm just not noticing. But I've stared at this for so long and need a fresh pair of eyes.

Any help is appreciated.

"I HAVE NO GREETING" When using Waalx Animals & Creatures

I have a fairly simple modlist using MO2

Highlights are: Better Cities, Unique Landscapes, MOO, Dynamic Oblivion Combat, Av Latta, GOSH, Ultimate Leveling, and some OBSE plugins/quest mods (integration stranded light no requirements version, kotn revelation, reclaiming sancre tor, the lost spires, tales of cyrodiil, Elsweyr Anequina, kvatch rebuilt)

Things have been pretty stable so I decided to add WAC, but it then causes certain NPCs to have the "I HAVE NO GREETING". It sucks because I really enjoyed exploring with it

I figured since I dont have any other mod touching leveled lists that WAC would be ok (and I kept it simple to avoid wyre bash since previous attempts at modding Oblivion using wyre bash I've failed at)

Anyone know whats up here? Do I give in and create a bashed patch?

Giskard's Origin of the Mages Guild & Elder Council compatibility with Better Cities / Unique Landscapes?

I found a download link on moddb to Giskard's mods: Giskards Oblivion Mods2020 file - ModDB

I am interested in origin of the mages guild & elder council. Mainly the former since I am doing a mage playthrough, but I finally have a somewhat stable modlist that uses better cities + unique landscapes, and I know those two can have a lot of hiccups with other mods. It seems origins and elder council both make edits to the imperial city

Wondering if folks have any experience with these 4 installed, and if there are issues if there are any compat patches?

Thanks!

Visual bugs with water

https://preview.redd.it/z1nwqvmwvnvc1.png?width=1360&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e6b33d071e3ccde56dce9cf65134bed272c213d

I'm modding Oblivion and can't solve the water problems.

The first problem is that for some reason the sky is visible in the distance at a depth.

The second problem is that on the surface of the water, with the correct viewing angle, the water becomes crystal clear, as if without shraders.

Of the mods that change water, I only have "Lush and Gaudy Water".

I will be glad for any help.

Architectural plan of the Imperial City

Hello !

I'm looking everywhere where it says oblivion (discord, etc) :D. I assume the use of copy and paste x)

Can I ask you if you have any info on the dimensions of the imperial city? Like area, size of buildings, roads, staircases?

I need to be trained in drawing software, like autocad or sketchup. And I wanted to reproduce the imperial city.

As everyone here loves this game in their own way, I thought some people might be "hardcore fans" enough to have data like this.

I understand that you may not want to reveal all your work. But if anyone can help me at least with the surface area of the city or a way of measuring it myself.

Thanks :)

Annoying message box popups

Is there any way to remove certain message boxes? I keep getting this one from "Cold Tyrants Oblivion Overhaul" at seemingly random intervals at random places not connected to the mod, I looked through TES4Edit and found nothing. Sorry for bad phone photo my screenshot button doesn't seem to work.

Help - Heartland: NPCs are bald

Hi.

I've installed heartland using the steps outlined on the wabbajack installer page, but the vast majority of NPCs are bald (including women).

For instance, 99.9% of NPCs in the imperial city are bald. The only characters that seem to have hair at all, are Uriel septim and jauffery. I'm just at the beginning of the game, so I've compared what named characters are supposed to look like, by looking at the oblivion wiki.

Has anyone else experienced this? I've googled, but I haven't been able to find any relevant results.

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone who has had this issue before, guided me towards a fix.

Thank you.

Oblivion Reloaded causing weird visual jerk when at higher FPS

Modlist is here

Disclaimer: I've tested this at both 120 fps, 144 fps and 60 fps. 60 was fine, the other two had the same problem. I've looked online just about everywhere for someone who has a similar issue, but to no avail.

Also I'd love to record the problem but every recording app I've tried drags the game's FPS don't to the point where the problem doesn't occur.

So I installed OBR because I heard it had a slew of stability features as well as some other cool features. It has WAY too much feature bloat but that's besides the point. Normally when you first install it, OBR limits you to 40 frames per second. I have a pretty good computer and wanted to run it at the capacity my monitor has which is 144hz. I set OBR to 144 frames in my game, and reset.

What ended up happening is as I move through the world my character will jump forward. If I'm in third person and move the camera, the view will jump and jerk around almost randomly. The best way I can describe is it a quick visual jerk where everything jumps forward very quickly and in rapid succession. It only happens on high framerates. I moved it down to 60 which solves the issue, but I'd prefer to play the game at the highest framerate possible.

Does anyone else have issues running OBR at high framerates? I don't know what to do other than play at 60 FPS or just dump OBR altogether.

TLDR: Running OBR at higher framerates causes a visual "jump/jerk" that's rapid fire at its worst, seems to occur when the game is loading terrain and other objects. Wondering if anyone has a potential fix or recommendations.

Mods like ashfall?

Hey, pretty much what the title says. I played Morrowind with Ashfal and it was great. For those who don’t know, Ashfall introduced the need to eat drink and sleep and not just that. Certain meals like soup or tea could have different effects depending on the ingredient. I remember brewing a tea that caused magaicka to regenerate. Does Oblivion have any mods like this?

Weapon animation mod other than DMC Stylish

Hey there!

I am searching for weapon animation mod but not DMC Stylish as it breaks all the seriousness of this game. I have seen only stance replacers so far :(

Repeated random crashes after some time playing; no loggers output

Having a repeated crashes after around 30-60 minutes playing; loading save made immediately before crash allows me to play for another 30-60 minutes without problems. Crash Logger and MessageLogger' outputs outline no problems, as if crashes never happened (although there are repeated messages "Voice was off by -x milliseconds, attempting to correct" in MessageLog.txt through the playtime). Game version 1.2.0416, GOG. What can I do to solve the issue?

Any mod to get borderless window?

I tried some sketchy dl called Borderless Window Tool (or something like that) from a file hosting site from a like 6+ year old thread, it didn't work. I tried game companion from nexus mods, didn't work as well as I wanted, and rn I'm using oblivion display tweaks which works about as well as game companion but it isn't its own program that needs to be ran on startup and I feel better about that. But they all still make the game minimize when I alt tab, they just fix the crashing issue. I mean if this is as good as it gets I can live with that, but just thought I would ask if there is any true way to get borderless window mode.

edit: I forgot I also tried oblivion reloaded and didnt like that one at all. made the game take ages to boot up and didnt seem any better than Oblivion display tweaks.

I would like to add a message at the top left when I hit a specific NPC (Construction Set)

I'm trying to create a mod but I'm chaining the complications... I can't make a message appear at the top left of the screen when I hit an NPC, I'm sure someone knows here, please how to do that?

Even better if you are very competent, how can I ensure that when my character "hits" a specific NPC, the attack is not counted? A bit like hitting a ghost?

Potential corrupt Save fix

Hello, I making this post to offer a simple solution as I had a save script issue preventing me from saving my game (ctd) and if it did actually go through the new save would be corrupt. Looking online through years of forums it seemed most hope was lost as the general form of thought was the save was gone and either go back to a point where it did save or start anew. This disgruntled me and I did not play for a year. I decided to see if I could fix it myself after seeing a friend play oblivion and all I did was open Oblivion without OBSE, save and then start it again with OBSE and voila, it worked. No need to post modlists, no need to restart the game and tack my mods on one by one to see the culprit or any increasingly difficult troubleshoot fix I see recommended.

To summarize -Start Oblivion with no OBSE, Save, Load that save with OBSE and hopefully it works for you as it did me.

Northern UI seems to be blocked by steams controller input system.

The mods is installed correctly it seems. When I disable steam input, I can see the controller glyphs but I can’t use the controller. When the steam input is enabled, the controller works but none of the modded options work (no glyphs and incorrect mapping)

Is there a known fix for this?

I am using a PS4 controller through Bluetooth

Adding overhaul to Through the Valley

Today I followed Through the Valley on a fresh install. Everything seems to be working great, but I am interested in mods that add or overhaul content for a fresh experience. For perspective: I've been playing Oblivion on and off since launch, but suck at modding.

Right now I'm interested in adding Better Cities, Unique Landscapes, and Kvatch Rebuilt. But I have some questions.

  1. Do these all play nicely with each other, and with Through the Valley? If so what's the load order advice?

  2. Are these still the best mods for a fresh experience? I've never played through Kvatch Rebuilt as I'm not really interested in becoming a count or the second Arena and whatnot, but I'd like to see the city get fixed.

  3. I put a few hours into this character. It's okay if I have to start over, but I'd rather not. Would these require a fresh start if I saved them in an interior cell?

Looking for Abbotsford Mod

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had the Abbotsford 2.0 (even 1.0) mod. MissAniThrope’s mod page isn’t working and I don’t know how long it’s been inaccessible, so I was wondering if someone can post an alt link for me? It was one of the coolest mods, especially the demon huntress outfit. Thanks for reading this!
