===== v 0.6.14.4 =====
I decided that I am going to try and develop an Semantic Media Wiki(SMW) system that I can move this guide to.<br>
I hope that it will bring better control over the content and remove the need for me to edit the entire guide to change one small thing. Its a slow process because I am learning as I go. I almost have a framework of what I want. <br>
Its a complicated mess and it is very difficult for me to explain but I will hopefully find a solution to many issues/limitations that are present on the wiki.


=== About Mythic Dawn ===
Mythic Dawn was created by [https://stepmodifications.org/forum/user/3928-hishutup/ Hishutup] and [https://stepmodifications.org/forum/user/2956-soire/ Soire (Red).] It was updated in 2015 by [https://stepmodifications.org/forum/user/7262-synthetikhd/ Synthetik.]


[[User:Hishutup|ROOT]]
Oblivion is very much a dated game that is {{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}} - 2006 }} years old now. This guide will help make Oblivion look as good as possible while maintaining a setup that adds to gameplay, stability, and re-playability. This guide's goal was to account for everyone, this includes users that only want a "fixed" game that includes improvements/fixes and also to account for users that want to see how many extras mods can offer to their game. With that in mind, Oblivion is old enough that the Game of the Year Edition or the base game with all DLC is required. This guide will use Wrye Bash as its main mod manager and LOOT as the main sorting tool.

<br>
===System Requirements===
<big>[http://forum.step-project.com/topic/6230-general-oblivion-support/ If you have issues and/or any problems please use this subforum.]</big><br>
We recommend the following hardware configuration for running Mythic Dawn. The minimum requirements should be sufficient for installing the Core mods. For those wishing to use high quality options and/or to install the Extended mods, be advised that a more powerful system is likely necessary.


=== What does this guide entail? ===
It should be noted that this guide is incompatible with SLI/Crossfire configurations and if you are a multi-card user you should create a custom graphics profile and disable SLI/Crossfire for this guide.<br />
This guide is here to be an up-to-date Oblivion modding guide that is exclusively on STEP, aiming to provide both basic and more sophisticated information for an enhanced Oblivion experience. As well this guide provides a Core setup that is compatible with modular packages and extended modifications suggested, but possibly if not always entirely with your own ideas, too. It does include some recommendations from other guides and credits will be given from where the original content was found.
Please note that the higher the clock speed, the better the performance. Oblivion is very CPU dependent. On my old AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.6 GHz, I used to get near the teens in terms of framerate with only [[#Better Cities|Better Cities]]. Now with a Intel 6700k I get a perfect 60 fps. Another thing I found is that GPU doesn't matter with any modern card.
 
This is supposed to be community driven, which means the community is going to take charge of how this guide is formatted, the content in the guide such as mod descriptions. If someone has a better way of doing things, then post in the provided topic above.
 
 
<br>
<br>
 
=== Are There Any Tips You Should Know? ===
Yes, I'll be populating this over time.
<br>
 
==== Multi Card Issues ====
Oblivion doesn't handle modern multicard setup very well.<br>
I would say make a custom graphics profile and set it to disable SLI/Crossfire.<br>
Multicard setups will not work in windowed mode.<br>
OBGE shadows will flicker with multicard.<br>
 
<br>
 
==== It may be helpful if you add markers at every section ====
It can get pretty chaotic because of the length of the guide so I would recommend that you add the markers in Wrye Bash.<br />
You can do this by '''right-clicking''' on the header bar at the top and selecting "Add Marker":

=== How is this Guide Modular? ===
 
==== I  would recommend restarting Wrye Bash often ====
This is be because Wyre Bash saves the Installers placement, markers and what you had installed/uninstalled when the application is properly closed. This means to restart it before rebuilding the Bashed Patch and/or restarting after adding, installing, removing, changing mods.<br />
Trust me, I got through half an install with out restarting and it messed up everything.
 
<br />
 
==== When cleaning the .esp ====
I would HIGHLY recommend to store the clean .esp in a project that is right after the mod archive.<br />
To ''Create New Project...''
#'''Right-Click''' on the header bar and '''select''' ''Create New Project...''
#A box will pop up. Rename the project to match that of the mod that you have cleaned.
#*Leave the ''Blank .esp'' ticked.
#'''Move''' the project to be after/later in the install order so that it overwrites the main .esp
#'''Open''' the project folder up.
#'''Navigate''' to the "<Oblivion>\Data"
#*'''Move''' the cleaned .esp to the project folder.
#'''Install the project and this will stop Wrye Bash from overwriting the cleaned version of the .esp


<span style="color: orange;"><big>Currently Mythic Dawn is built around a modular installation.</big></span>
<br />
<br />
 
*All mods should be considered required unless otherwise noted.
==== When making .ini edits ====
*Mods marked as "Optional" are up to the user as they may or may not be for everyone.
I would recommend NOT using the edits in Wrye Bash because Wrye Bash does not use the carriage return making future editing very difficult.
*When a mod is marked as "Extra" should be carefully looked over to see if its something for you as they may cause issues with other mods or have extra patches that need to be carefully examined.
*Please don't use any mod marked as "Omitted" because the only reason its there is to remind me.


<br />
<br />


==== Windows loves to change extentions on files ====
=== Installation Setup ===
You may download an .OMOD but then Windows will change the extention of the archive to .zip for some reason.<br>
This is bad because if you uncompress a .zip you will install the files below which will NOT work.
readme
script
image
config
data.crc
data
To fix this make sure you have the "Hide Know Extensions" setting in windows turned off.
and simply remove "zip" and type "omod"
 
<br>
 
==== Save corruption is a big deal in Oblivion ====
Apparently save corruption is pretty big in Oblivion here is a list:
:Do NOT load a different save without restarting.
:*You may even crash
:*Do NOT use autosaves
:*After you die, restart Oblivion and then reload the latest save
:*I would say to save in an interior rather than in a city or in Tamriel


<br />
==== If You Have Modded Oblivion Before.. ====


==== There are some common references throughout the guide ====
This guide assumes that the user is beginning with a clean Oblivion installation. If you already have the game installed or have modded Oblivion before please follow the instructions below.  
"<Oblivion>"
*That is your Oblivion install folder.
*Some people may choose to install it in a different location or I may change the install location in the future. This makes it so I don't have to edit every set of install instructions when I change it.
*Its the same as:
**"C:\Games\Oblivion\SteamApps\common\<Oblivion>"


<br />
The following will remove everything, meaning: games files, installed mods, game saves, etc. If you wish to back up your mods, game files or saves then do so now.
 
==== Commonly used console commands ====
 
{{fc|white|{{fs|150%|tdetect}}}}
:Use this to toggle on/off the detection system
:Remember it doesn't work 100% of the time
{{fc|white|{{fs|150%|tgm}}}}
:Use this to toggle on/off god mode
::In this you won't take damage, your stamina and magicka won't run out and you don't have a carry limit
:Remember it doesn't work 100% of the time
{{fc|white|{{fs|150%|tcl}}}}
:Use this to toggle on/off the collision
:Make sure you don't have anything selected in the console otherwise nothing will happen
{{fc|white|{{fs|150%|tdt}}}}
:This will toggle on/off the debug text
:Press the insert key to cycle through the different types of debug text.
{{fc|white|{{fs|150%|coc}}}}
:This is used to teleport to a specific cell
:It works by typing a correct cell name after it
{{fc|white|{{fs|150%|cow}}}}
:This is used to teleport to a different worldspace
::You would also need a coordinate to teleport to in the new worldspace
:It would be in the format of:
::"cow <worldspace> <x>,<y>"
 
<br>
 
==== Suggested Key Mapping ====
so far have an idea of what I want it to function like.<br>
Keep in mind I am using just about every mod in this list which my cause some keys to be far away when the closer keys are open.<br>

=== How is this guide modular? ===
 
<span style="color: orange;"><big>This guide still needs to be complicated in some sections but eventually the rough points are going to be worked out. Currently, we offer a modular setup built around a Core/Extended with some Optional packs/modules.</big></span>
 
<br>
[[File:Green_Box.png|20px|link=|bottom]] The Green Squares are Core:
:* Is required.
:* They mainly indicate a mod containing fixes, texture replacers, improvements of all sorts that are all about keeping that Oblivion feel, but updated (Lore-friendly).
:* They indicate a mod that is content of a basic setup that can be extended and built upon.
:* Install these if you use your own mod list or plan to use moduls from this guide.
:* Performance options are noted, where possible.
<br>
[[File:Yellow_Box.png|20px|link=|bottom]] The Yellow Squares are Extended:
:* They indicate a mod enhancing the Oblivion feeling further.
:* Most of them are not designed for low-end systems.
:* Some of them are heavy on your system or the game-engine.
:* Some of them are not necessarily Lore-friendly.
:* Some of them require configuration ability and a deeper understanding of modding.
<br>
[[File:Orange_Box.png|20px|link=|bottom]] The Orange Squares:
:* Entirely your choice.
:* The extra on top of Core/Extended improvements.
:* Some of them are not Lore-friendly at all.
:* Packages for all kind of complicated game-play enhancers.
:* Packages for housing, followers, survival.
:* Packages designed for diverse play-styles.
:* Designed for compatibility with the entire guide allowing even more freedom of choice.
:* Some of them are heavy on your system and the game-engine.
:* Some of them require configuration ability and a deeper understanding of modding and patching.
:* May have little support for because of lack of knowledge and testing.
<br>
[[File:Red_Box.png|20px|link=|bottom]] The Red Squares:
:* May or may not be usable due to limited instructions for installation and patches.
:* Tested a very small amount or not at all.
:* May have issues that are unexpected.
:* May have drastic performance decrease.
:* May have little to no support.
<br>
[[File:Blue_Box.png|20px|link=|bottom]] The Blue Squares are Dependent:
:* Is going to be on most patches
:* Marks the mod as dependent
:* If you are using any of the required mods then you must use the mod marked with blue
<br>
<span style="padding-left:20px;"></span> No Square or "Invisible":
:* Not yet included
:* I haven't decided
:* Waiting for opinions on
:* Place holder

=== Preparation & Setup ===
For the most part Wrye Bash is the main mod manager to use. However, a few mods will require TMM (TES Mod Manager) since installing them can be tricky or even impossible otherwise. Mod Organizer is not supported (yet) by this guide for the tool still needs too many workarounds if used with Oblivion, and some of the tasks necessary are simply not yet possible to perform in an efficient manner. Until some of the issue are fixed, I will not be using or supporting it for use in this guide.
 
<br>
==== System Requirements ====
System requirements for this guide do differ quite a bit from the Vanilla (not-modded) Oblivion ones you find on the store page of Steam. This is, because this guide will add diverse visual enhancements that require better hardware than Vanilla does.
 
<span style="color: orange;">Note:</span> Oblivion does have an engine limitation. This guide and your performance is likely going to be varied from computer-to-computer. I will try to find the optimum mods that still run and feel good but provide the best visual experience for most higher-end systems.

:
On a side note: '''64-bit OS''' is highly recommended when modding Oblivion. However, the executable of the game addresses <~2gb of memory usage only and was never updated from Bethesda to have the LAA (Large Address Aware) flag in the executable. If you are running a '''32-bit OS''' the patch won't have any effect. In this case, you might consider to be selective on Extended options.
 
<br>
 
==== Windows Folder Options ====
<span style="color: orange;">{{fs|25px|IMPORTANT:}}</span><br>
Windows Folder Options should be adjusted as follows:
:'''Check''' ''Show hidden files, folders, or drives''
:'''Un-Check''' ''Hide extensions for known file types''
Folder Options are typically found if you open Start → Computer → Organize (upper left corner) → Folder and Search Options → Tab 'View'
:* This can be reverted post-installation.

<br>
<!--
<span style="color: orange;"><big>Hishutup's Recommendation:</big></span>
{{Notice Small|text=STEP does not recommend turning UAC off, so do so at your own risk!}}
;<big>This is only for Windows 7. Do NOT use on windows 8 or 8.1 because it doesn't have the same effect.</big>
:Turn UAC (User Account Control) 'OFF' or 'Never'
;*My reasoning behind this decision is because it causes strange issues with programs not having the right permissions. Wyre Bash is one program that does have said issues. Every Windows 7 install I have done, I have followed up with immediately turning it off.
;*I have never had any issues with it off.
;*As for security I have always used [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download Microsoft Security Essentials].
;*Overall, I hate that it freezes Windows and displays a box.
;*I am NOT responsible for your computer/hardware/install.
:The easiest way to find the UAC is go the Windows Start Menu and in the search type "uac".
:There should only be one suggestion "Change User Account Control settings".
:Click it and drag the slider to the "Never notify me when:" setting.
:The reason for this is because the applications in this guide may have permission issues with being installed in "Program Files (x86)".
 
<br>

==== If you have modded Oblivion before ====
Please, follow the instructions above. Sometimes mod managers in generally do not remove and replace the modded files. This may cause something to not work correctly or other weirdness. This is to provide you with the best support that Red and I can.
 
The reason for starting over.<br />
This gives us a starting point.
 
<br />
This pretty much means remove everything (Games files, inis, custom graphics profiles, downloaded mods, etc.). If you wish to back up your files then do so now.

==== Install Oblivion ====
==== Installing Oblivion ====
 
Oblivion should be installed outside of "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders. Installation in these folders can cause UAC (User Account Control) to unpleasantly interfere with Oblivion and some of the Utilities.


{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background-color:#35383B;"
Simply launch "setup.exe" if using a disc, or right-click Oblivion in Steam and select install.

|}


After Oblivion is done downloading, '''click''' [PLAY] in your Steam library. This will bring up the launcher for Oblivion.
It is recommended to install Oblivion to an SSD if available, and preferably separate from the drive with Windows. Oblivion should be installed outside of "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders as Windows User Account Control can cause issues with Oblivion.
:* If dialogue box pops up, select [OK].
:* '''Click''' [Options]. Set ''Video Quality Presets'' according to your hardware. Ultra High is recommended because most modern hardware can run it just fine.
:* Select Windowed Mode.
:* Select your screen resolution.
::For example: 1920x1080 (widescreen)
<span style="color: orange;">Note</span>: ''Screen Effects'' needs to be set to HDR – this is required for TES4LodGen used later in this guide.
* I highly suggest doing a backup of your pristine (Vanilla) Oblivion directory for future use.
* Starting a new game is required in most circumstances.


<span style="color: orange;">Suggested:</span> It is a good practice to backup your pristine (Vanilla) Oblivion for future use. For size reduction use 7-zip – download latest stable version here (v9.20 August 2014): [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip Org] 
[https://youtu.be/TrqqAtdLuoo If you need help, here is a video.]
 
:For this, navigate to:
::"<Oblivion>"
::"<My Games>/Oblivion"
 
If you want to use 7-zip to archive your game files then '''copy''' both of the folders above and add to and archive.
If you are going to compress the files using 7-zip then use the Ultra setting.
 
'''Open''' Steam, '''right-click''' Oblivion in your Library &#8594; Properties &#8594; General &#8594; enable "Steam Overlay while ingame". This is needed for OBSE.
 
<span style="color: orange;">Recommended</span>: While still in Steam, '''right-click''' Oblivion in your Library &#8594; Properties &#8594; Updates &#8594; '''Un-Check''' "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"
 
 
<br />
<br />
 
=== <span style="color: white;">INI Tweaks </span> ===
<span style="color: orange;">Note:</span> After you are done with editing Oblivion.ini, right-click the file &#8594; Properties &#8594; check: ''read-only''. <br />
This is to prevent the launcher and Streamline from resetting it.


<br />
<br />
==== Basic INI Tweaks ====
If you hate windows Notepad, try out [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++]
----
[General]
SIntroSequence=
Disables the intro-movies playing every time you start Oblivion.
----
[General]
SMainMenuMovieIntro=
If you like to disable the Oblivion menu-intro as well.
----
[Display]
iShadowMapResolution=1024
I believe Arthmoor said to change this because there are issues with the default 256.
----
[Controls]
bUse Joystick=0
Add this tweak if you don't use a game pad. If you are using a game pad, I would recommend using external software and still use this tweak.
----
[Water]
bUseWaterReflectionsMisc=1
bUseWaterReflectionsStatics=1
bUseWaterReflectionsTrees=1
bUseWaterReflectionsActors=1
Water will reflect static objects (like houses and sky), trees and NPC's. This setting will impact about 5-25% frames/sec – consider turning back off (=0) if you experience unwanted low frames/sec.
----
[Main]
bEnableBorderRegion=0
This disables the invisible borders in Tamriel. There is not much beyond, though. It may be needed for mods that are part of non-core. Be aware of the in-game map to show if you are in the borders of Tamriel because there isn't anything special outside the borders.
----
[Gameplay]
bSaveOnTravel=0
bSaveOnWait=0
bSaveOnRest=0
bSaveOnInteriorExteriorSwitch=0
This disables autosaving which is known to produce corrupt (unplayable) savegames over time.
----
[Grass]
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=7
Increases grass diversity with a small cost to performance and yup, "texure" and not "texture". <br>
Consider 5 or 7 if using grass retexture mods.


----
==== Backing Up Oblivion ====


[Archive]
After installing Oblivion I highly suggest backing up the vanilla files for future use. Copying the folders in the following locations to a folder such as "Oblivion Backup" should ensure you have access to your vanilla files. If you would like to reduce the size of your backup, using Windows, [https://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip], or WinRAR to compress your backup files should free up some space.  
SInvalidationFile=         
Yes, there needs to be nothing.


----
Back up locations:
 
*"<Oblivion>"
[BackgroundLoad]
*"<My Games>/Oblivion"
bBackgroundLoadLipFiles=1
*"<YourUserName>/AppData/Local/Oblivion"
bLoadBackgroundFaceGen=1
bBackgroundCellLoads=1
bLoadHelmetsInBackground=1
[Pathfinding]
bBackgroundPathing=1
These tweaks supposedly help with reducing stutter and smooth FPS.<br />
I cannot confirm this.

==== Memory INI Tweaks ====

{{Notice Small|text=Some of these tweaks may have unknown consequences but definitely improve fluidity of gameplay.}}
<big>The memory tweaks described below are controversial, meaning there is no real exact amount but only trial and error. </big><br />

| Jaga Telesin's explanation:
|-
| iPreLoadSizeLimit is one of those things people thinks work like a regular "cache", when in fact it does not. Larger values in this setting are WORSE for players since the 1.2.x patch. Martigen and I spent a week straight looking into this and a few other performance related INI values, and in fact it's better to keep it lower if possible. The right number is something you arrive at based on what you are using. The default value of 26214400 can be equated to one "unit" of cache. To find out how many units you need, refer to the following list:
* (+1) Vanilla Oblivion + 30 or less mods (all small)
* (+1) OOO, Fran's, Warcry (not FCOM)
* (+1) MMM (not FCOM)
* (+2) FCOM
* (+1) QTP1 (or similar normal-size texture pack)
* (+2) QTP2 (or similar medium-size texture pack)
* (+3-4) QTP3 (or other large-size texture pack)
So for example, someone running Oblivion, a few small mods, OOO and MMM would need a setting of: 1+1+1 (3x default) or 78643200. Generally this floats up and down by 1x, so that person might be able to get away with 2x instead, which is BETTER than 3x. You know you are too low when just after changing it and reloading the game, you start stuttering badly.
<br>
A machine with more than 2gb of RAM doesn't need to set their cache at 1gb, that's just insane. They need instead to evaluate what they run and see what setting value they need. If they had Oblivion+mods, FCOM, and QTP3 they would need: 1+2+3, or around 6x default (157286400), which is roughly 153mb of Oblivion cache.
 
Everyone's experience is unique, so people will have to play with their settings to get it just right. Too large and you will get problems, too small and you'll get different problems with similar symptoms (stutter and lag). Finding the sweet spot is what tweaking this entry is all about. My numbers are just a rough guide, and are by no means the final word on the setting."

;Hishutup: My X is (7) and the value is set to (183500800)
Any decent system for today should be fine with setting this higher than vanilla.

==== INI Tweaks that affect FPS ====
[General]
uGridDistantCount=25
:This affects the distance at which the lod load for buildings. This is the safe LOD tweak when its between 25 and 15.
If you have trouble with unusually low performance then reduce to 20 or even 15.

=== Downsampling ===
This is a tweak for mid-high end PCs with respective graphics cards. If you do not believe you can run it then skip this.<br>
Downsampling is when a game is rendered at a greater resolution compared to what it is displayed at.
<br>
This is the only way to have downsampling work on AMD but nVidia have other options.<br>
For Example:<br>
I am using a 1920x1080 display on an AMD 6970 but the game is rendered at 3840x2160 because of the engine limitation in a short test I gained a frame which should be incorrect.<br>
<br>
The examples used are to show my setup, yours may differ.<br>
In the Oblivion.ini set what resolution you want the game to be rendered at.<br>
iSize W=3840
iSize H=2160
 
In the ENBLocal.ini
AddDisplaySuperSamplingResolutions=true
 
Start the game and see if it works. If it doesn't then try boarderless windowed fullsceen.
 
Known Problems:
:Causes textures to appear sparkly.
:Mouse in menus is slow
:Steam in-game interface has tiny text.

==== This is a good time to back up the entire Oblivion Install ====
 
Why?<br />
*Because everything is set up. If you screw up down the road then uninstall all the active mods, replace all the Oblivion folders including my games and the Oblivion Installation folder.<br>
*Its better to archive the folders afterward to prevent from accidentally moving the files rather than copy from a backup folder verse archive.<br>
<br />
No, Really, Do it.

===== It may be helpful if you add markers in Wrye Bash =====
It can get pretty chaotic because of the length of the guide so I would recommend that you add the markers in Wrye Bash when prompted to do so throughout the guide.
<br />
<br />
 
You can do this by right-clicking on the header bar at the top and selecting "Add Marker".

===== I would also recommend restarting Wrye Bash often =====
This is be because Wrye Bash saves the Installers placement, markers and what you had installed/uninstalled when the application is properly closed. This means to restart it before rebuilding the Bashed Patch and/or restarting after adding, installing, removing, and changing mods.

:* What is LOD/VWD?
::LOD (.lod) data files are necessary to view landscapes that are distant in the middle-ground or background. These are different than the static objects you see from far – also
::known as 'Visible while Distant' objects (VWD). Not all mod (replacer) packages do provide all necessary files related to LOD/VWD and therefor the player runs into

I would recommend enabling MSAA through your drivers and not through Oblivion's internal one. This is to avoid the 1 pixel line on the first column on the left.<br />
* '''Version''': 1
If you are able to get SMAA to work that is a possible alternative. One bad effect SMAA has is that the image will be overly bright and washed out which is due to Steam overlay being enabled.<br />

About Mythic Dawn

Mythic Dawn was created by Hishutup and Soire (Red). It was updated in 2015 by Synthetik.

Oblivion is very much a dated game that is 18 years old now. This guide will help make Oblivion look as good as possible while maintaining a setup that adds to gameplay, stability, and re-playability. This guide's goal was to account for everyone, this includes users that only want a "fixed" game that includes improvements/fixes and also to account for users that want to see how many extras mods can offer to their game. With that in mind, Oblivion is old enough that the Game of the Year Edition or the base game with all DLC is required. This guide will use Wrye Bash as its main mod manager and LOOT as the main sorting tool.

If you would like to provide feedback or make suggestions relating to the guide, use this forum thread.
If you have issues or problems and need support for the guide, ask via this forum thread on the STEP Community forums.

Info-Logo.png

NOTE

It is particularly important that users READ EACH SECTION CAREFULLY in order to be successful with the Mythic Dawn setup first time around, as no information included in this guide is irrelevant!

System Requirements

We recommend the following hardware configuration for running Mythic Dawn. The minimum requirements should be sufficient for installing the Core mods. For those wishing to use high quality options and/or to install the Extended mods, be advised that a more powerful system is likely necessary.

It should be noted that this guide is incompatible with SLI/Crossfire configurations and if you are a multi-card user you should create a custom graphics profile and disable SLI/Crossfire for this guide.
Please note that the higher the clock speed, the better the performance. Oblivion is very CPU dependent. On my old AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.6 GHz, I used to get near the teens in terms of framerate with only Better Cities. Now with a Intel 6700k I get a perfect 60 fps. Another thing I found is that GPU doesn't matter with any modern card.

Hardware Minimum Recommended
Windows OS Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 Bit)
CPU Intel Core i5 2500K / AMD (unsupported due to performance) Intel Core i5 6600K
System RAM 4 GB ≥8 GB
GPU 512MB VRAM ≥2GB VRAM

How is this Guide Modular?

Currently Mythic Dawn is built around a modular installation.

  • All mods should be considered required unless otherwise noted.
  • Mods marked as "Optional" are up to the user as they may or may not be for everyone.
  • When a mod is marked as "Extra" should be carefully looked over to see if its something for you as they may cause issues with other mods or have extra patches that need to be carefully examined.
  • Please don't use any mod marked as "Omitted" because the only reason its there is to remind me.


Installation Setup

If You Have Modded Oblivion Before..

This guide assumes that the user is beginning with a clean Oblivion installation. If you already have the game installed or have modded Oblivion before please follow the instructions below.

The following will remove everything, meaning: games files, installed mods, game saves, etc. If you wish to back up your mods, game files or saves then do so now.

  1. Back up locations:
    • "steamapps/common/Oblivion"
    • "My Games/Oblivion"
    • "%AppData%/../Local/Oblivion"
  2. Deactivate all mods using your choice of mod manager.
  3. Open Steam, right-click Oblivion in your Library → Delete Local Content → Delete. Wait until the game has been uninstalled.
  4. Browse to your Oblivion directory and delete all files and sub-directories.
  5. Navigate to "%AppData%/../Local/Oblivion" and delete the Oblivion folder.
  6. Go to
    • "My Games/Oblivion"
    • Delete the Oblivion folder. It will be regenerated later.
  7. Uninstall your previous Mod Manager(s).
  8. If you did use Wrye Bash, navigate to
    • "<Steam>/SteamApps/Common"
  9. Find the folder Oblivion Mods. Backup first if you want to, then delete.
  10. If you did use any other mod manager, find and delete (and backup) their mod directories.


Installing Oblivion

Simply launch "setup.exe" if using a disc, or right-click Oblivion in Steam and select install.

It is recommended to install Oblivion to an SSD if available, and preferably separate from the drive with Windows. Oblivion should be installed outside of "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders as Windows User Account Control can cause issues with Oblivion.

If you need help, here is a video.


Backing Up Oblivion

After installing Oblivion I highly suggest backing up the vanilla files for future use. Copying the folders in the following locations to a folder such as "Oblivion Backup" should ensure you have access to your vanilla files. If you would like to reduce the size of your backup, using Windows, 7-Zip, or WinRAR to compress your backup files should free up some space.

Back up locations:

  • "<Oblivion>"
  • "<My Games>/Oblivion"
  • "<YourUserName>/AppData/Local/Oblivion"


Archiving the Data Folder

It is required that you archive the Data folder. This is going to be used in Wrye Bash as the first mod. I believe this will help with some of the glaring issues when uninstalling mods.

To archive your Data folder with Windows:

  • Navigate to your Oblivion Data install folder
  • Select any file/folder that is not an "*.BSA"
  • Right-Click and select "Add to Data.7z"

Add Files To 7z From Shell.png

  • Wait for the folder to finish being compressed, which may take a few minutes
  • Move the Archive out of your install directory to somewhere such as your desktop as it will be used later.


Other Important Details

  • Users should change Windows folder options so that they can see file extensions on known file types as well as showing hidden files and folders.
  • Users should disable Steam overlay and synchronization.



Setting up Oblivion's INI Files

Setting up Oblivion via launcher

  • Select Ultra high presets
  • It is recommended to change the resolution to your native resolution, fullscreen, Vsync.
  • HDR is required for TES4LODGen, AA will be adding in by Oblivion Reloaded
  • It is also recommended to start the game and make any necessary changes in the options so that the inis can be archived for backup.

Tools

LOOT
  • Author: WrinklyNinja
  • Version: v0.8.1
  • Description: LOOT is helping with setting up the right load order for your mods plus provides helpful information about various plugins.
  • Download: "LOOT.Installer.exe"
  • Installation: Run the installer normally.
  • Notes: When running LOOT 0.8.1 you're told that there's an update to it of 0.9.1, but as of this time that update gives an error when sorting mods that it cannot read the mods, which has since been fixed in a snapshot at bintray and will make it in to version 0.9.2 in due course. Recommendation at this stage is to remain with version 0.8.1 until 0.9.2 has been reached.

If you need help here is a video on LOOT.

Wrye Bash
  • Author: Wrye Bash Team
  • Version: 306
  • Description: Wrye Bash (WB) is at this time the main Mod Manager used for this guide. Even for Skyrim and the Fallout Series Wrye Bash is used for it's ability to generate a Bashed Patch based on your load order. For more info refer to the Readme.
  • Notes: The link redirects to the Wrye Bash on the Skyrim version of the Nexus. If you need more info on Wrye Bash here is a Guide Link.
  • Download: "Wrye Bash 306 - Standalone Executable"
  • Installation: Drag the "Mopy" folder to the Oblivion folder and uncheck the "Lock Load Order" from the topbar.
It may be helpful if you add markers in Wrye Bash

It can get pretty chaotic because of the length of the guide so I would recommend that you add the markers in Wrye Bash when prompted to do so throughout the guide.
You can do this by right-clicking on the header bar at the top and selecting "Add Marker".


I would also recommend restarting Wrye Bash often

This is be because Wrye Bash saves the Installers placement, markers and what you had installed/uninstalled when the application is properly closed. This means to restart it before rebuilding the Bashed Patch and/or restarting after adding, installing, removing, and changing mods.

TES4LODGen
  • Author: ElminsterAU
  • Version: 3.1.1
  • Description:
  • What is LOD/VWD?
LOD (.lod) data files are necessary to view landscapes that are distant in the middle-ground or background. These are different than the static objects you see from far – also
known as 'Visible while Distant' objects (VWD). Not all mod (replacer) packages do provide all necessary files related to LOD/VWD and therefor the player runs into
strange views. Or bugs.
LOD is built on the basis of quadrants of four adjoining blocks of 32x32 cells. Now, as landscape mods and such changing exterior cells are added, these quadrants realign
themselves. Further they depend highly on loadorder and the heightmap used in each cell. However technical all this sounds, this results in the necessity to rebuild LOD
every time a mod is added, removed or changed in both loadorder and installation order that affects these quadrants – like for example 'Qarls Texture Pack' or 'RAEVWD'. The
tools for this are known as 'LOD Generators'.
  • Notes: TES4LODgen MUST be ran every time load order changes, also if you change something in your Installers tab that affects related LOD files. This includes that one tiny file called 'bashed patch' at the very end. If you fail to do this, your game wont crash nor will your savegames be destroyed but distant meshes will be strange, out of line or simply not appear.
  • Download: "TES4LODGen_3_1_1"


Landscape LOD generator tes4ll-v5
  • Author: Gruftikus and Lightwave
  • Version: 5.03
  • Forum Link
  • Notes: Running will take place at the end of the guide. After you have completed this guide, this should be ran every time you install or uninstall a landscape mod. Be sure to install the MPGUI below.

OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender)
  • Author: Ian Patterson, Stephen Abel, Paul Connelly
  • Version: 0021
  • Notes: OBSE is mandatory for this guide. For Steam version, launch Oblivion using the Steam client. For any other version use the obse_loader.exe to launch. You do not need to use obse_loader.exe under normal circumstances.
    If OBSE is not running, most mods that require OBSE will bring up a dialogue box saying "OBSE is not working". If that's the case, check if you have enabled 'Steam overlay while ingame'.
  • Installation:
  • Download: "obse_0021" and the "Latest Loader"


TES4Edit

MoreHeap
  • Author: shadeMe
  • Version: 1.1
  • Description: Starts the game with a larger footprint of memory, allowing the game to run for longer without resulting in impolite CTD behavior.

Installation:

Place the "Version.dll" in the root folder, where "Oblivion.exe" is located
Create a new text file in the same directory and name it "MoreHeap.ini", and do change the type of file.
Open it up in any text editor and copy/paste the info below.

[Editor::MemAlloc]
DefaultHeapSize=512
[Runtime::MemAlloc]
DefaultHeapSize=512

Note: I am not 100% solid on this heap size.



Before Starting to Mod

Setting up Wrye Bash

  • Start up Wrye Bash and select the Installers tab and accept on the dialogue box.
  • Open the context menu on the top bar and confirm that "BSA Redirection" is ticked


Adding Oblivion's Base Game Files

  • Drag the previously made Oblivion Data folder archive into the Installers window and select Copy.
  • After the file is done copying, move it to the top of the install order and install it.
  • The red plus box will turn into a green plus.


Cleaning the DLC

This is a required step and should be done regardless of whether you are going to follow this guide or if you are even going to mod your game. Cleaning DLC .esp's and certain mods is critical for creating a stable modded game environment.

Info-Logo.png
NOTE:
Only clean one mod at a time. This can be done by selecting the one mod you are going to clean, all needed masters will be loaded.


If you are NOT familiar with cleaning, click me.
Note: Some mods have "UDR(s)" or "ITM(s)" but must not be cleaned. Follow BOSS report unless other wise described for a particular mod.

  • Reminders are going to be located after the installation description of mods that do need cleaning.


Here is the DLC that you should clean now. xEdit Cleaning Required
Knights.esp
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCSpellTomes.esp
DLCVileLair.esp

Add Cleaned Mods to Wrye Bash

I highly recommend you do this every time you clean a set of plugins.

  • You can either create a project inside Wrye Bash's installers and then copy the cleaned esms to it or you can just archive the cleaned esms and then copy or move the archive into Wrye Bash.
  • Move the installer package to be after the vanilla package.


OBSE Mods

OBSE plugins allow mods to interact in different ways with the game using extended scripting abilities.

  • Installation:

Oblivion Reloaded

  • Unpack to a project and keep the original archive
  • Unpack to a second project called Oblivion Reloaded ini's and move it to be below the OR project
  • Delete all of the files in the OR ini's project except for the ini files. Updating the OR ini's can now occur without needing to reconfigure the OR installation.

The process of updating an Oblivion Reloaded ini file, if you want the change to be a permanent part of the installation, is:

  1. In Wrye Bash, double-click on the Oblivion Reloaded ini's project to open up the folder
  2. Navigate to the desired ini file
  3. Right-click on the ini file and open it with Notepad++ or other comparable text editor
  4. Make the desired changes then save and close the editor
  5. In Wrye Bash right-click on the Oblivion Reloaded ini's project and Refresh, to have it recognise the changes that you made
  6. Right-click on the Oblivion Reloaded ini's project and Anneal, to update the installed Oblivion Reloaded ini files with the desired changes

INI Tweaks

You can find your .ini file in "/Documents/My Games/Oblivion".

I would recommend NOT using Wrye Bash to make the edits because Wrye Bash does not use carriage returns, making future editing very difficult. The best method of editing your .ini file is with Notepad++.


Oblivion.ini

Each of the following entries can be pasted directly into the INI. The entry descriptions are commented, so they will not be interpreted by the game at startup. Alternatively, these descriptions can be omitted. Descriptions are only provided on tweaks that needed explaining. There are too many tweaks to list what each one does, but know that all are required.

Warning-Logo.png
WARNING:
After adding these tweaks, changing settings in the Oblivion Launcher can undo user-configured INI tweaks. To avoid 'unapproved' alterations to the INI file, set Oblivion.ini as "read only" after all the tweaks are in place.


Anti-Aliasing

I would recommend enabling MSAA through your drivers and not through Oblivion's internal one. This is to avoid the 1 pixel line on the first column on the left.
If you are able to get SMAA to work that is a possible alternative. One bad effect SMAA has is that the image will be overly bright and washed out which is due to Steam overlay being enabled.

Note: Using both MSAA and HDR will not work unless you have Oblivion Reloaded

WIP

The rest of the guide will come as I get the time to get a section updated. My plan is vastly different for low maintenance(hopefully), easy to read(colorblindness is a thing), quality over quantity(I suck at this because I went through a phase) and hopefully get another spinoff for Pretty Much Vanilla Oblivion which is going to be the guide I will likely play through with to get a baseline on oblivion today.

I also noticed this, which will be useful after it matures for a few more weeks/months
