MODs Steam Workshop?

Hey guys, I love the ease that Skyrim does mods, I just go to the Steam Workshop and click on mods and the next time I play Skyrim, they work!
Does Oblivion have such a thing?

There is no "Steam workshop" for Oblivion, but, there are some sites that have quite a few mods. for example, NexusMods. and there are mod managers for those mods.

TL;DR: No and Oblivion modding is more difficult then Skyrim Workshop modding.

Yes sorta there is Oblivion nexus all you have to do is install the nexus mod manager go to the mod u want click download with mod manager and when it downloads there will be a little +1 thing next to the cattegory of the mod on the manager click that catagory and click the mod then look to the bottom of the manager to see how many active mods u have!

I'm not very tech-savie, so I was hoping for something simple, is Nexus?

Download mods from Nexus, use Oblivion Mod Manager or Wrye Bash - Wrye Bash is a little more complex but once you know what to do it's pretty much just point and click, and the readme is pretty thorough if you're confused by anything.

Essentially to install mods through Wrye Bash you need to move them to the right folder (on my PC it's something like f:/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/Oblivion Mods/Bash Installers - my Oblivion directory is f:/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/Oblivion so from there it's just up one level and then look in Oblivion Mods) and then click on the "installers" tab in Wrye Bash.

For most mods all you need to do is right click on the mod's installer and hit "install" - some mods are a bit more complicated and you need to look in the bottom right corner to see if it has multiple options, and a few have a BAIN "Wizard" which is just a type of installer that gives you a menu of options to choose from.

If you get stuck, posting either here or on the Bethsoft Oblivion Mods forum (google "bethsoft oblivion mods forum" and it'll be the top result most likely) should get you all the help you could wish for.

(To be honest, Skyrim modding gives far better results, more stable, etc if you don't use Workshop mods, too, but that's a story for another board...)

I'm getting back into the game after several years. This guy (Gopher) helped me out with setting up Nexus Mod Manager (NMM). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVC31Qu048Q
The first couple videos in the series should be enough to get you going.

Having said that I've got NMM installed and ready to mod. What are:
1) Essential first step mods? (I see OBSE mentioned but is it necessary? Are the unofficial patches necessary for the GOTY edition?)
2) What is the best leveling mod? (I'm leaning towards Attribute Modifiers on Levelup to 5 by Dogan80 but would I enjoy the game more (better immersion) with Realistic Leveling?)
3) Best facial mod for yourself and NPCs?

Thanks everyone and CoolLew I hope I helped with your Nexus questions and asked a few you may have had as well.
