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.

New to Oblivion modding, need some advices

https://preview.redd.it/ogbwps55j01d1.png?width=479&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a2bbfd6712b4bf39b15e77d8e2d4de6ff8beb78

So I'm a 6k+ hour Skyrim player, and eager to do the same with Oblivion, so this is my first run, modding Skyrim is very easy for me, but in Oblivion I don't even know the essential mods, I ended up following Bevilex's guide and the game seems more or less stable, despite some stuterrings (drop of about 10 fps for a second). One of the biggest problems I've encountered so far is that there seem to be multiple sensitivities; when I'm unarmed, wielded and moving the sensitivity seems to be the one chosen in the settings, but when I'm standing and in the menus the sensitivity is much lower, another thing is that the sound of the game also seemed laggy, but I found a tutorial and modified some things in the .ini and fixed it, but now the sound sounds a little muffled, It doesn't bother me, but I was wondering if there's another solution, or maybe an immersion mod. This is the list of mods I have installed at the moment, I followed the guide but I didn't want to install so many texture mods or new content because I like to keep some vanilla experience. I'm interested in mods that improve the quality of life in gameplay, If anyone has any suggestions for interesting mods, I'd be grateful

Is there still a legit way to get Dark Brotherhood Chronicles?

Rebuilding my heavily modded Oblivion on a new PC. Thought I had copies of all the mods on an external HD. Unfortunately, it seems the external HD has issues, cause a few of the mods reported read errors when trying to unzip them - one of which was Dark Brotherhood Chronicles... Going on Nexus, it's been hidden, and it seems the same is the case on moddb. Is there any location to legit download this mod still?

3D Artists needed for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake

Hiya folks, thought I’d share this with you since it seems like a cool opportunity that will definitely interest some people.

A group of extremely professional modders are remaking The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Skyrim’s engine and are in need of 3D artists to help create in-game plants and other objects for the game. I will link the most recent Development Diary below:

https://youtu.be/ZZ2w3ciSVEQ?si=llxZ0t9unvmYX7CZ

Although this isn’t a paid gig, it could open up many doors once it releases in 2025 as the team have a huge following both online and with many major industry professionals. If you have any experience in creating 3D art then follow the steps in the link below to submit a volunteer request to the team:

https://skyblivion.com/volunteer/

I do not work on this project by the way, I am simply passing on the message as a fan. Good luck 🙌🏼

Alternatives to Qarls Texture Pack?

Hey guys and dolls,

Do you guys recommend any alternatives to QTP3? I think it's great work but it changes the game a little too much for my liking. It gives the game a somewhat grittier look but I quite like the bright and colourful original. Is there something that gives the game somewhat more modern textures but keeps the overall look of the game?

[MO2] Instantly crashes when my Bashed Patch is enabled - but only on Steam Deck, for some reason? Windows Desktop is fine!

I am running the (admittedly outdated) Heartland mod set for Oblivion. After making sure the pack, my addons, and built bash patch all work right on PC (sorted with BOSS), then after installing MO2 on Steam Deck, (Proton 9.0.1 as recommended) I copied over my 'Mods' folder and the load order / modlist .txts into a profile from the computer to the Steam Deck. But, I get a CTD on Steam Deck, during the very initial load, well before the main menu.

I am 100% sure it's the Bashed Patch. The game launches and loads if it's not enabled. What's more, I loaded up a blank profile that's just the official plugins / DLC, added the Bashed Patch, and that immediately crashes too in the same fashion. It's the same bashed patch as desktop - I get the 'Bashed Patch' folder from MO2/Heartland/mods and put it in the respective location on my Deck. Is there something I'm missing?

When I try to rebuild the patch in Wrye on desktop, the following are tagged 'NoMerge':

Knights - Book Jackets

EVE_KnightsoftheNine

KvGuardFeaturesDevastationReduxPatch

OCO_Eyes_Fix

OCO Cleaned - Vanilla Hair

NAO-Brighter-Nights-Sam

tbskGuardsFeatures-NoGreatHelmets

Here is my loadorder.txt and my modlist.txt (which seems to be in reverse order from how it appears in MO2, but I doubt that's the problem), although, again, this happens with the Bashed Patch on an otherwise clean profile, so that's why I included the merged stuff above and I'm still baffled why this just happens on deck, just to the Bashed Patch, but PC is fine with all the same files.

New to Modding, need info on basic mods

I've played Oblivion since I was a kid but I actually never managed to finish the game even though I played it so much lol but my point is I still have a full vanilla playthrough to experience but I might want some stability mods and/or some UI mods and maybe texture mods but I'm entirely new to Modding, and I can't seem to find guides for this situation. I don't know how to tell if mods are compatible with one another or if you need one for the other to work (except I know OBSE is needed for most things).

Sorry for the preamble but just trying to get info specific to what I'm looking for; can I download just some texture, UI & maybe stability mods without having inconsistencies or anything? Or will I need a whole suite of mods for them all to work properly? And Will those mods affect my game's stability?

Academic Survey (Video game modders) (<15 minutes)

Hi everyone,

I’m a college student writing a paper regarding modding and codestruction. I’m looking for video game modders (as in people that create mods, to be specific) and cc creators to answer my survey. It should take 10 to 15 minutes only. The answers are anonymous and your response would be a great help.

(Note that in this survey “mods” refers to any game modifications (such as mods and cc))

Thank you in advance for your time !

Arrow mods

Hey y’all. Any tips on finding mods for new arrows/quivers? I just want some dope looking dark arrows and such for an assassin build. Thought that would be an easy thing to find, but I am struggling. Any ideas? Also, cool bows or mask mods would be appreciated as well. Thanks! Hope everyone has a nice day.

Oblivion Reloaded Combined documentation?

Does it exist? I'm trying to tweak some settings in ORC, but some of them have barely any explanation. What's the Jump Fix for? What are Detection Fixes? What are the ini Tweaks? Interior Generation?

Anyone has anything on this? Patch notes on the nexus page do provide a bit of insight sometimes, but some things just have 0 documentation it seems.

Edit: after messing around with it a bunch and getting some answers on a modding discord here's the best I've got: keep ambiguous settings off, or even stick to the defaults and you should be aight. Don't really need to turn on most of the "off by default" stuff, and some of it requires further implementation from other modders so it doesn't even do anything right now. I wish there was more documentation, but eh. Skyblivion is gonna happen eventually and this will become moot.

Tracking down a mod Hillsborough Estate

I am hoping that somebody here may still have the file for the mod called Hillsborugh Estate. It was released on TES Nexus around 2008 but sadly has since been scrubbed from the net. I am hoping somebody may still have a copy in an old folder.

I am needing this mod for research into cross mod references that where occurring in the community during this time period. This particular one has a connection to Pemberly Manor which connects to Arthmoor's villages mods that were then referenced in the Verified Creations so trying to draw a map of all connections between mods of this time period.

NorhernUI slow diagonal movement with gamesir G7

Not sure if anyone can help me here, but worth a shot. I bought a GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller because it's a lot lighter than the usual xbox controller. It works fine but strafing and diagonal moving is as slow as molasses.
The xbox one controller works fine.

Issues with water and precipitation in the game

Here's a video of the specific issue:

https://medal.tv/games/oblivion/clips/2cvFGZw7O93zFF/d1337tKjuwhK?invite=cr-MSxsRzAsOTI1MzgyMSw

As you can see, any kind of precipitation is "stuck" in the air and there is no downpour effect at all. Also any water surface has absolutely no physics at all, stands completely still. Been behaving like this since I started a new game with the Oblivion Rebirth+ collection.

I cannot find this issue anywhere on google, but with how shaders are usually guilty of these kind of issues, any chance of you guys know how to deal with this? I'm sorta too scared to go fiddle too much with files I don't fully understand.

Custom Skills, how do I?

I want to be able to create a collection of skills that work similar to Masker's Unarmoured and Pickpocket. An example would be Enchant. Also is there a way to make it work to be able to create a Custom Class with them.

Enchanting mod

Does anybody know of a good enchanting mod to make ridiculously overpowered items? I’ve been searching all over but no such luck. Was using ElderEdit before, but one of my other mods messes with it I think, it stopped working. Any tips would be much appreciated!

Oblivion rebirth lighting issues.

I'm using oblivion rebirth for the first time and it looks great but one thing I can't seem to find a remedy for is everything is far too dark at night/unlit areas and the polar opposite for light sources , it just looks either pitch black or completely over saturated . Is there a setting for this I'm missing as opposed to me messing with the brightness slider every time the lighting changes

Oblivion Rebirth and Better Cities compatibility

Hey guys

Been modding for a few years, decided today I wanted to give one of those mod collections a try and so far I am very happy about the results. About one hour into the playthrough and the game runs on better visuals and stability than I have ever manually been able to proccur.

One of my most favourite mods for Oblivion is Better Cities, and I initially thought I read it as part of of the mod collection, but turns out I was wrong. I want to get in my playthrough now, but I'm kinda stumped regarding compatibility issues. Better Cities is a HUGE mod.

I have faith in my computer to handle it well, but I cannot find any info on the internet regarding compatibility with Better Cities and other people who use the mod pack. Anyone has some specific experience with these two mods maybe? or is Better Cities a garanteed problem with the 400 list mod pack and I must play without?
