Note: I finished rewriting. I am still adding stuff though.<br>If you want to get involved then check out the [http://forum.step-project.com/topic/5766-oblivion-modding-guide-wip/ official subform] and if you want to live chat then take a look at [http://forum.step-project.com/topic/6056-unofficial-chatroom/ Unofficial Chatroom].You can use the history tab to see whats changed but its a lot. <br>I am actively trying to get this to an "Alpha"(v8) release soon. <br>Then "beta"(v9) a few weeks later. <br>I am going to need people to test this once I get to v8+ and eyes are short handed which will make this difficult.<br>

=== About Mythic Dawn ===
<big>[http://forum.step-project.com/topic/5766-complete-oblivion-modding-guide-wip/ Use this Official Subforum for feedback on this guide.]</big><br>
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.]
<big>Suggestions that are welcomed:</big>
:*If you think something is missing suggest it.
:*If you think that something is core and shouldn't be go ahead and suggest it.
:*If you feel that you have a better way to describe something.


<big>Suggestions that are going to be ignored and deleted:</big>
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.
:*This guide sucks fix it
:*Other unnecessary garbage.

=== What does this guide entail? ===
{{alert|type=notice|text={{fc|#ddd|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!}} }}
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.


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.
===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.


<br>
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 />
;Mods that are not (yet) included for the time being:
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.
* '''Better Cities''': This is excluded because it will cause the frame rate of the game to drop to around 15fps while in just about any town.
* '''Really AEVWD''': We didn't find yet a solution that justifies the noticeable framerate drop vs enhanced distant view.
* '''Open Cities and Open Cities Reborn''': There are several mod-incompatibilities as well as massive frame drops when even close to cities.

::* If you have a good amount of configuration ability and a deeper understanding of modding your game.
:* This will take time to get right.
:* At the end there should be a single patch and recommended Load Order.
<br>
'''What is Red's Recommendation'''
:* For the average User
:* Lore-friendly
:* In parts easier to install
:* Easier on hardware and the game engine.

=== 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'

<!--
<span style="color: orange;"><big>Hishutup's Recommendation:</big></span>
{{Notice Small|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)".

==== 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.
<br>
The reason for starting over.<br>
This gives us a starting point.


<br>
=== How is this Guide Modular? ===
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.


* Back up locations:
<span style="color: orange;"><big>Currently Mythic Dawn is built around a modular installation.</big></span>
::<Oblivion install>
<br />
::<My Games>\Oblivion
*All mods should be considered required unless otherwise noted.
::<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Oblivion
*Mods marked as "Optional" are up to the user as they may or may not be for everyone.
* Deactivate all mods using your choice of mod manager.
*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.
* Browse to your Oblivion directory and delete all files and sub-directories.
*Please don't use any mod marked as "Omitted" because the only reason its there is to remind me.
* Open Steam, right-click Oblivion in your Library &#8594; Delete Local Content &#8594; Delete. Wait until the game has been uninstalled.
* Navigate to <YourUserName>\AppData\Local and delete the Oblivion folder.
* Go to
::<YourUserName>\(My)Documents\My Games\Oblivion
:: Delete the Oblivion folder. It will be regenerated later.
* Deinstall your previous Mod Manager(s).
* If you did use Wrye Bash, navigate to  
::<Steam>\SteamApps\Common
: Find the folder ''Oblivion Mods''. Backup first if you want to, then delete.  
:* If you did use any other mod manager, find and delete (and backup) their mod directories.


<br>
<br />


==== Install Oblivion ====
=== Installation Setup ===


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.
==== If You Have Modded Oblivion Before.. ====


{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
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 actual install location is:
C:\Games\Oblivion\SteamApps\common\Oblivion
Throughout this guide that Oblivion folder is going to be <Oblivion>
|}


After Oblivion is done downloading, click [PLAY] in your Steam library. This will bring up the launcher for Oblivion.
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.
:* If dialogue box pops up, select [OK].
<br />
:* Click [Options]. Set 'Video Quality Presets' according to your hardware. Ultra High is recommended because most modern hardware can run it just fine.
#Back up locations:
:* Select Windowed Mode.
#*"steamapps/common/Oblivion"
:* Select your screen resolution.
#*"My Games/Oblivion"
::For example: 1920x1080 (widescreen)
#*"%AppData%/../Local/Oblivion"
;<span style="color: orange;">Note</span>: 'Screen Effects' needs to be set to HDR – this is required for TES4LodGen used later in this guide.
#Deactivate all mods using your choice of mod manager.
* We highly suggest doing a backup of your pristine (Vanilla) Oblivion directory for future use.
#Open Steam, right-click Oblivion in your Library &#8594; Delete Local Content &#8594; Delete. Wait until the game has been uninstalled.
* Starting a new game is required in most circumstances.
#Browse to your Oblivion directory and delete all files and sub-directories.
#Navigate to "%AppData%/../Local/Oblivion" and delete the Oblivion folder.
#Go to
#*"My Games/Oblivion"
#*Delete the Oblivion folder. It will be regenerated later.
#Uninstall your previous Mod Manager(s).
#If you did use Wrye Bash, navigate to
#*"<Steam>/SteamApps/Common"
#Find the folder ''Oblivion Mods''. Backup first if you want to, then delete.  
#If you did use any other mod manager, find and delete (and backup) their mod directories.


;<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] 
<br />


:For this, navigate to:
==== Installing Oblivion ====
::<Oblivion>
::<My Games>/Oblivion


If you want to use 7-zip to archive your game files then copy both of the folder above and add to and archive.
Simply launch "setup.exe" if using a disc, or right-click Oblivion in Steam and select install.
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.
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.


;<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"
[https://youtu.be/TrqqAtdLuoo If you need help, here is a video.]


<br />


<br>
==== Backing Up Oblivion ====
<br>


=== <span style="color: white;">INI Tweaks </span> ===
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.  
;<span style="color: orange;">Note:</span> After you are done with editing Oblivion.ini, right-click the file &#8594; Properties &#8594; check: ''read-only''. This is to prevent the launcher and Streamline from resetting it.


<br>
Back up locations:
==== Basic INI Tweaks ====
*"<Oblivion>"
If you hate windows Notepad, try out [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++]
*"<My Games>/Oblivion"
*"<YourUserName>/AppData/Local/Oblivion"


----
<br />


[General]
==== Archiving the Data Folder ====
SIntroSequence=
Disables the intro-movies playing every time you start Oblivion.


----
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.
[General]
SMainMenuMovieIntro=
If you like to disable the Oblivion menu-intro as well.


----
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"
[[File:Add_Files_To_7z_From_Shell.png|400px]]
* 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.


[Display]
<br />
iShadowMapResolution=1024
I believe Arthmoor said to change this because there are issues with the default 256.


----
==== Other Important Details ====


[Controls]
*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.
bUse Joystick=0
*Users should disable Steam overlay and synchronization.
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.

<br />
<br />


[Water]
=== Setting up Oblivion's INI Files ===
bUseWaterReflectionsMisc=1
<!--
bUseWaterReflectionsStatics=1
==== [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69787/? BethINI] ====
bUseWaterReflectionsTrees=1
*'''Author''': Vuud
bUseWaterReflectionsActors=1
*'''Version''': 1.3
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.
*'''Description''': DoubleYou cleans and reorders the INIs so that it is more readable without touching the vanilla values.
*'''Files''': "opINI Installer"
*'''Installation''': Run the program like normal but be sure to change the directory where the Oblivion folder is located. When dialogue boxes popup select "Yes" to them. Steam copies of the game may fail to start the launcher. If that does happen then just launch Oblivion from the Steam interface.
<br />-->


----
==== Setting up Oblivion via launcher ====


[Main]
*Select Ultra high presets
bEnableBorderRegion=0
*It is recommended to change the resolution to your native resolution, fullscreen, Vsync.
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.
*HDR is required for [[#TES4LODGen|TES4LODGen]], AA will be adding in by [[#Oblivion Reloaded - OBGE v4|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.  


----
<br />
<br />


[Gameplay]
=== Suggested In-game Options & Controls ===
bSaveOnTravel=0
bSaveOnWait=0
bSaveOnRest=0
bSaveOnInteriorExteriorSwitch=0
This disables autosaving which is known to produce corrupt (unplayable) savegames over time.


----

==== Memory INI Tweaks ====
 
{{Notice Small|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>
Tests done in the past with or without memory tweaks are located [[User:Hishutup/OblivionGuide/TestResults|HERE.]]<br>
Take a look:

| Jaga Telesin's explanation:

|-
|E
| 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."

: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.

* '''Description''':
:* What is LOD/VWD?
:: LOD (.lod) data files are necessary to view landscapes that are distant in the middle- 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 installationorder that affects these quadrants – like for example 'Qarls Texture Pack' or 'RAEVWD'. The
:: tools for this are known as 'LOD Generators'.
 
* '''Download''': TES4LODGen_3_0_32_EXPERIMENTAL
* '''Notes''': TES4LODgen MUST be ran every time load order changes, also if you change something in your Installertab 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.

=== <span style="color: white"> Cleaning the DLC </span> ===
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.

<br>
<span style="color: orange">Note:</span> Some mods have "UDR(s)" or "ITM(s)" but must not be cleaned. Follow BOSS report unless other wise described for a particular mod.

=== 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>
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.

===== I would also recommend restarting Wrye Bash often =====
* '''Author''': TheNiceOne
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.

*'''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.


<br>
::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.

*Move the installer package to be after the vanilla package.

*'''Requirements''': [[#OBSE_.28Oblivion_Script_Extender.29|OBSE]] and subtitles enabled
*'''Download''': "OBSE -Elys- Universal Silent Voice v93"

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 />

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"

  • Run the MPGUI-Setup.msi file and install it normally except when it asks to install batch file templates, uncheck the option.


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
  • Author: ElminsterAU

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

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.

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

The purpose of this package is to make TES IV: Oblivion look even better than when you bought it. To do this I've created new textures, normal maps, specular and parallax maps to replace a large number of those in the game with ones which are higher resolution and more photo realistic, while at the same time still very close to the original feel of Bethesda's intentions.

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
