No doubt y’all have discussed this to death elsewhere, but I was just curious what are some of y’all’s favorite mods for Oblivion? Feel free to leave out things like the Unofficial Patch, and OBSE since those things are pretty much crucial to modding this game.

The ultimate Oblivion character overhaul is....drum roll....Oblivion Character Overhaul v2 (OCO2), combined with male and female body replacers, needed patches, and add-on augmentations. It can be a bit complicated to install, but "Bevilex' Modlist" at Nexus provides satisfactory instruction (plus plenty of screenshots).

(Link) Bevilex' Modlist for Oblivion Graphics (Link)

Scrolls down to and open its Body, Armor & Weapons section.

I'll link a couple of screenshots from my experimental build. Some of what I use has had updates since these were captured:

1) Uriel Septim and Baurus in an Imperial Prison cell, game start. There might not be a single original texture in this image, with the 'possible' exception of the Emperor's hair. Lighting isn't the best to show off OCO2, but I've next to no experimental build captures of NPCs.

2) My experimental avatar near Anvil Castle. I've many shots of my OCO2 avatar, but as with image 1, few show OCO2 to best advantage.

3) A favorite of Mine. Not a character closeup, but it demonstrates what can be done with the game.

BTW, the Bevilix List is, imo, the best Oblivion graphics improvement guide.
