You can then uninstall the game later in Steam itself. Paste it in C:\tes so that you have C:\tes\Oblivion\. Browse to your Steam\steamapps\common\ and Cut the Oblivion folder. Unzip this and copy the contents into your Oblivion folder so that the *.dll and *.exe are in the root of the installation. OBSE allows a number of very clever people a way to extend the original Oblivion engine, this build requires it for two main reasons Stability and Eye Candy. Current version at the time of writing is v0020. Once Oblivion is installed you will then need to get Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) from OBSE. Install the game as normal, if you have a disc based Oblivion install into c:\tes\Oblivion and then download the appropriate patch from & install it.

Also might be useful for when Skyrim is released on 11 11.ĭO NOT INSTALL TO PROGRAM FILES (OR PROGRAM FILESx86) It's a couple of dollars/quid for a month and lets you skip the annoying videos before downloading. I also strongly recommend upgrading to premium. Register yourself an account at The Elder Scrolls Nexus - Oblivion mods and community - you will need to be registered to download files over 2MB (and you will download a lot ). This guide was written against the Steam version of Oblivion with all of the DLC, if you are using a different version then there may be different steps. GPU: The faster the better, at least 1GB onboard VRAM Note: There are some multithreading tweaks available, and will be listed later on in the guide.Even if you can run Crysis 2 with 148612 shaders, 74421 lighting effects and 178862xAA, Oblivion will be lower performance wise.ĬPU: i3/Phenom2/Core2 clocked as fast as they will go Usually the graphics card is at 700MB/800MB usage, but mainly my game is CPU bound. All of this was performed on an i7-2630qm (quad dual hyperthread 2Ghz), a GTX 560m (1.5GB), and 8GB 1333hz RAM. With all of these ambitious mods installed, the game will push a modern PC hard. Although I have very basic knowledge of the TESconstruction set/TES4Gecko/scripting in general, I have completed this without a PhD in electrical computer quantum engineering(although it would help). Most of these mods are overhauls that add a great deal of depth, thanks to the wondrous modding community behind games. This is because the game engine (gamebryo) was mainly optimized for singlecore/dual core. Also, performance with this many different mods will be lower than you expect.

This requires a lot of time, roughly 3-4hours(perhaps double that if you read the readmes ), but I would highly recommend the investment of time, as these mods listed/featured in this guide are excellent and well worth the effort. This guide assumes that you are proficient with computers. Difficulty: Hard (should be no problem for most of you though, right?) Screen shots + video on second page of thread!
