Coming back to Oblivion & have have a few questions

[Nixak]

Hi, I have a stupid question that i'm sure most of you know the answer to, my newly installed Oblivion shows as version 1.2.0416 but the patch's shows the current version as 1.2.416 are these the same?

I used to play Oblivion years ago and still have the original retail disk around somewhere but I've not played it in about 6-7 years so I'm playing catch up at the moment, but when I played it before Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul was a must have yet I don't see it listed anywhere anymore, is it obsolete now? and if so whats replaced it?

Any ideas about must have mods for gameplay and graphics would be greatly appriciated.

p.s. the version I'v just bought is the Game of the year edition, running it on Win7 64bit

yes they are the same thing.

1.2.0.416 is latest version
So 1.2.0416 and 1.2.416 are quite same version.
OOO had final updated in 2015 version is 136. you can get 136 on NEXUS.

Oscruros Overhaul is still decent one but not essencial mod.

during your absence there goes Oblivion Reloaded project is gonig on.

It is a great achievement.
It makes this game something new.

And in 2015 there comes another greate work.
Oblivion Content Restoration Project
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45909/
It picks up many abandoned quests chacters etc into live.

Be careful do not intsall OCO or OCOv2(Character overhaul)
if you wnat to play Oblivion Content Restoration Project.

Pretty much exactly what TC posted but wanted to ask : Does OOO work with the GOTY Deluxe version?

yes

the only differece with deluxe is you get all the DLCs and not just Shivering Isles and |KNights of the Nine. OOO does in fact work perfectly with all DLCs. There is however a few Shivering isles files that must be used if you want the changes in Shivering Isles. those are included with the OOO download

Qarl's Texture Pack III Full Version avail on Nexus,Immersive Weapons for Oblivion requires OBSE,Idle dialogue,adds some pretty funny lines http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/38466/? i was going to recommend ImprovedWater but it'll conflict with Oblivion reloaded

[Nixak]

Thank you to all of you, I will look into those mods.
Just one more question though, do you use Nexus Mod Manager or Oblivion Mod Manager for your mods? because I used to install them all manually, now there are so many mods with different conflicts that I'm guessing you need a mod manager to avoid the conflicts.

Just checked the link from itis4u and it would seem that NMM, OBMM, BOSS, TES4Edit & Wrye Bash are used .... Oh boy this may take some time before I even get to play the game.

[CullinB]

Use OBMM or TMM(extended OBMM) . They can handle OMOD.
It is still simply easy way for TES4 MODDING.
And BOSS and Wrye Bash will helps you.

Do you know more about the Oblivion Restoration Project? How do the makers know what was missing from the game?

Normally the mod maker/s either were involed in making the game or they find the unused files/coding in the game and decode them

Like you I installed Manually for years until I needed to run a patch through Mod Organizer for Skyrim's PerMa(i think).
So I watched the link below and only use it for it's most basic functions but because I like to add and remove alot of mods it makes sense for me to use it however it is said it is not for the beginner. Because You have done it manually you may not be a beginner.
It has an out of date loot function but sense I understand load order and conflicts fairly well it serves my purposes. It currently can be used with Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout, and New Vegas. You can use the full version if you want.
I then used Wrye bash for the patch and also to help with conflicts and missing masters.

I have used Tes4Edit in the past but because I do not spend hundreds of hours on the same character I have not bothered to clean any mods and not worried about long term isues related to not cleaning them.

Just watch the intro vid. Decide for yourself if it could for you. If not keep it in mind but OBMM and NMM will do most people just fine.
Also anytime you see to use BOSS mntioned use LOOT instead as BOSS is obsolete and hasn't been updated in a very long time.

Good luck and any other questions do ask as someone with intelligence will respond eventually but you may have to deal with me first.

Wow, cool. It's not finished yet, this mod? But some of it is playable already?
