Gog Oblivion Options

[SubRosa]

I bought Oblivion from Gog.com a while ago, and finally got around to installing it. It comes with the executable already pre-patched to 4gb aware. It also comes with all the dlcs. They install automatically with the game.

I tried it with my old Morroblivion files, and they work! For some reason Morroblivion had stopped working with my old GOTY disc install of Oblivion. So I think I might give that a try sometime soon.

I also got my Martial Arts for Oblivion mod mostly done today. As I did with Morrowind, I took a dagger and changed the mesh to a ring, and renamed it Martial Arts. Works like a charm. I just wish there was some way I could change it to use the hand to hand animations instead of the dagger animations. But I am not sure that is even possible.

I also created a shield the same way, but have not tested it yet to see how it works.


And now Morroblivion CTDs every time I try to load a save again.

Ah Ha! I got it working. The problem - somehow - was that after my initial install I added the Morroblivion files into OMOD files for OBMM. For some reason those files coming out of an OMOD broke the game. I deleted the OMODs, and copied the files over directly. Viola! It works again.

Thank you both, Lena and Sage Rose, for the quick replies!

I hit a wall with my Skyrim playthrough since Bethsoft updated the CC/Mods section Monday - now the game won’t launch with outdated .dll files. After all the work I put into this mod build I’m kinda pissed. So it’s a matter of waiting for the last five or six mods to update their .dll files (probably over the weekend). I’m thinking of downloading Oblivion from GOG today and getting started on that one.

Have either of you used Oblivion Character Overhaul 2 (OCO2)? I gave the original one a whirl over ten years ago but didn’t care for how it gave every Imperial male a boxer’s nose. This time around I’m a little put off by how Elven faces are managed - I don’t like that line over the brows - it is managed much better in both Skyrim and ESO.

I also saw the earlier discussion of OR, which makes me want to try it again. But I think I’ll try OB without any visual enhancements and see what I like and don’t like.

Is Robert’s Body still the go to body replacer for those who want more realistic bodies (i.e. no boob jobs, thanks)?

I haven’t decided yet on using Slof’s again for the horses . . .

Sorry to be late on this. I've been very tired as of late and not keeping up on things. I know you've already started and I surely wouldn’t expect you to restart for seemingly trivial enhancements, but I wanted to give you my thoughts.

I use OCOv2.3 in my current adventure. Over all I find it gives acceptable faces, but with the number of quest mods I use it takes 9 patches to do so Still not all issues have been resolved. The custom races in the companion mods I use have grey face bug, most noticeable in certain lighting condition. But worst of all is brown pointy nosed Orcs. I want Pig faces! Those two things annoy me maybe not you. Would I use OCOv2 again or go back to TNR, I haven’t decided.

My current game (you may have seen some of the screenshots) is setup with OR. OR does render gorgeous scenes. Its visual enhancements are its best feature, but nearly everything else I‘ve turned off. If I was to reinstall OB I probably would not use OR again, there are other ways to get the look.

Yes, Roberts Male V5.2 Blues body with the #5 underwear is my go to male body replacer. For the females, I’ve been using some version of HGEC for a long time. Currently it's EVE, which is fantasy enough for me. I did once have a female body mod with as many body options as Roberts Male V5.2. From boyish to busty, it allowed you to assign a different body type for each race. I misplaced that one somewhere, what a shame.

Kvatch Rebuilt is interesting. Had some issues with Unique Landscapes in places. If you like rebuilding Kvatch you should give Sutch Village a look. Renee recommended it to me and I will recommend it to you.
