Why not suport a Xbox Controler?

[Jornada nos Retrogames]

I cant play this game in mouse and Keyboard.

It does

On nexus, get SkyBSA and Northern UI. There you go. if I'm remembering correctly. You need SkyBsa just for its archiveinvalidated implementation.

Did you.. plug in your controller?

Unoffical Patch and Darnified UI .. thank me later.

I have the same problem, I downloaded OBSE, nothernUI, and SkyBSA and nothing seems to work. Or better, the game does recognize my controller, the controls simply do not work in game

You also need to disable joystick in the ini file. I’ve never used that mod. I use Xpadder for all non controller supported games and it works great.

this game at its time never had really good controller support, the best controller support is the console versions the pc version is more outdated, but with the controller mod found in nexus forgot what it's called can essentially replicate the xbox 360 controller and UI making it so much easier to play oblivion like if it was on console.

Ya, you need obse too of course. Don't forget to check off the boxes in the launcher. I don't use a mod manager for this game. I also do have the unofficial patch, I didn't know that it helped with controller function.
Oblivion is a very finicky game to mod. I just started modding it again after 10 years of ignoring the game. Its more difficult to mod then Fallout New Vegas I think.
There's a Stability guide on Nexus and I used everything he has on it except enboost because I don't like enbs. Enbs in my experience have a tendacy to alter themselves, strangely.
I have MMM that monster mod working too and IDK if its causing this but my game's difficulty ramps up on its own....so if I put the difficulty on the easiest setting, while I'm playing and because we all know that the easiest difficulty is very easy, the game will up its own difficulty and become as high as 3/4s the of the difficulty bar.
So, I'll try to explain,clarify, I'll set the difficulty to easiest, and then while I'm fighting enemies, I'll pause mid-fight and check the difficulty and its now moved on its own to 3/4 while I was fighting, from easiest, all on its own.
(I had to be tricky not to die to test this.) because I was getting killed easy on the easiest difficulty but I realized it was changing the difficulty for me.
ANYWAY: the point being, this game's harder than Fallout New Vegas to mod, to get it stable.

According to what I've read, you need to use big picture mode and your controller must be plugged in via cable, not on wifi. I use a google stadia (generic xbox) controller.
Also, for me, I still have to use the mouse for any kind of text menu. So all the "new game / load game / etc" screens upon load.

the controller mod has been broken for a cpl years now

I have a video on youtube called 'Oblivion Modded Taking out a Devil Gate' and I'm using a controller through the hour long video. You can see the controller inputs and that the arrow doesn't come up so its legit. Its an xbox 1 controller type. Not the actual xbox version, one of the cheaper ones.

I get that, but when did you make that video? Back when the controller mod actually worked? Maybe you have just the right versions of things to make it work, but if you tried to just get mods working to get a controller working at 100% right now from updated mods, you would be out of luck.

I understand that I have mods to make it work and I even tried to install one and it didn't work perfectly. But the fact that the game doesn't have native support for controllers at least the original ones from microsoft, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 is unacceptable. I refunded the game because of this and will only buy it again when they make an official support of the game for controllers.

RIP i guess you will have to wait until skyblivion cuz i doubt they will update this game in any way that doesn't inconvenience the player.

Oblivion came out around the same time as XInput which was still relatively new. Bethesda may have opted not to implement controller support on PC to avoid potential technical issues, especially since the game was primarily designed around keyboard and mouse for that platform.

By Fallout 3, Xinput was solid.
