This one makes everything look much better with minimal hit to the system, while keeping the vanilla style:

Really Textured Normal Maps for Vanilla
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/38204/

Although I use "Really Textured Normal Maps for Vanilla" as a base (I install it before) for the next pack, because the next one makes everything look impressive, but it doesn't cover all the textures that the last pack does (that's why I use it as a base):

Qarl's Texture Pack III
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/18498/
http://www.theassimilationlab.com/forums/files/file/1046-qarls-texture-pack-loose-files/

"Qarl's Texture Pack III" is for high-end systems with videocards with at least 1 GB of RAM, but if you think your system can't handle it, or doesn't run too well, you may want to check this one instead:

Qarl's Texture Pack III Redimized
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45666/

"Qarl's Texture Pack III Redimized" uses the exact textures as the last one, but were reduced a little in quality (visually almost unnoticeable, except for some pixelation here and there) to keep the game running more lightly than using the original textures.

As Omgwtfbbqkitten mentioned, "Oblivion Character Overhaul Version 2" is a must-have if you also want to change the ugly faces :tank:, for much better faces:

Oblivion Character Overhaul Version 2
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/44676/

And if you want to change the bodies, "HG EyeCandy Body" for females and "RobertMaleBodyReplacerV52" for males are great to use as replacements:

HG EyeCandy Body
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/15802/
HGEC Robert Feet
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/35501/
Exlorian's Khajiit Tail for HGEC
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/33745/
High Rez Skin Textures for HGEC
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/20022/

RobertMaleBodyReplacerV52
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40532/

As for how the climate behaves and looks, you should see this, it's awesome:

Natural Environments
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/2536/

Although you will need this to avoid a glitch you may find with the weather in Natural Environments. It's a replacement for the weather in NE that works much better and stable:

RD Natural Weather Unoffical Test Fix
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/14918/

And for the armors, I like this one:

Better Looking Armor
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45071/

But I replace its Glass Armor for the Glass Armor found in this mod (textures are for female and male armors):

Assorted Protective Female Armors
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/44678/

Found better textures for Glass Armor and Weapons:

Dark Green Glass Armor
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/2996/

And the same for Elven Armor:

Elegant Elven Armor 3 (Male Armor and Shield)
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/28436/
Elegant Elven Armor Texture (Female Armor)
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/23188/

is this still good or does anyone else have a list for a great look?

That basic mod list still has many good mods in it, most recommended by the STEP project.

You definitely want to add Oblivion Reloaded to that list.

Your best bet is to look up the Oblivion STEP project and go through the texture mods it recommends.

But incase it is too difficult to follow, I started this list based on the STEP project and added a few other mods.

good lord man, thats alot, do they all work together?
Kongha May 25, 2016 @ 9:53pm 
you will not have good fps with RAEVWD if you use all its options. It dosent matter ghz, ram. Its about the game and that its old :)
oblivion reloaded can however give you a fps boost by using one of its many functions.
