Install Nexus mod manager, then go to nexus, and check out the mods you are interested in. Once you find one, read the description to see if there are any other mods required that you need to install first. If there aren't, checkt he download page. Click the "download with manager button. Nexus mod manager should start downloading the mod. Once it's finished downloading, select the mod, and press the "enable" button.
Done. Start the game.

In some cases there isn't any "download with manager" button. That usually means that there is another installation process you need to follow. So, once again, check the description for installation instructions.

The only real difference I know of is that the installation of Oblivion Script Extender, which is required for some mods to run, is a bit different depending on whether you use the steam or retail version. But that's all.

Ah sorry, should have explained that properly.
Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE for short) can be downloaded here: http://obse.silverlock.org/
It basically allows mod authors to do things with the toolset that they otherwise wouldn't be able to do. Of course, this means that you as a user also need it installed in order for it to work.

OBSE isn't always required, but if you ever come across a mod that you want to install, it might list OBSE as required - and then you obviously need this installed before you get the mod, in order for it to work properly.

As for the installation, check the readme. You just need to drag and drop some of the files according to the instructions.

The main difference for mods between the Steam instal and the disc is the location on your disc drive.

If you only have the one HDD and / or it isn't particianed, then you may want to set up a folder outside of C: > Program files for either (or both) NMM and Wrye Bash.

The default instal location for Steam Oblivion is C: Program Files(x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Oblivion

You may need to know that to install certain mods as will require you to access the data folder.

Also you may want to look into installing the Oblivion Graphics Extender[oblivion.nexusmods.com] if you install the script editor.

Why didn't you just start a new thread to ask your question? There's no point in dragging up a four year old thread just for that.

Not sure as to how much all this has changed in the times that has passed since, but if it's still as is, then you would have to have OBSE installed first for OBGE to run on as it's a plugin. OBSE was/is a prerequisite in the installation instructions

It appears that OBGE is no longer being developed now acording to the OBGE Oblivion Nexsus page [www.nexusmods.com].

Hope this is of some help.
