Mods a new player to Oblivion might want or need?

jrtibayan · November 15, 2013

Hi all.. I have been wanting to play Oblivion but it seems the only things stopping me right now is because there are some features of the game that i dont like.. so i decided not to play vanilla and add mods that might make the game better.

Im not much into visual enhancement.. can you guys recommend mods i might need for a better oblivion gameplay experience?

right now i have these mods and the reason why i want them installed. if you know a better mod please reply the mod with reason why i should replace or remove a mod

1. FCOM 1 - mainly because of OOO which changed many of the enemies difficulty and theyre difficulty is not any more related to your characters level.

2. Harvest Flora 301 - because its so confusing in vanilla when you harvest a plant, you can still see the plant even after harvesting from it

3. All In One basement - for convenience of having a shared basement for all owned houses.

4. Bank of Cyrodiil - Ingame banking system

5. Companion Vilja - not too sure with this. if there is a better customizable/trainable companion please do tell

6. HUD Status Bar - I think I intalled this because it is required by Basic Primary Needs

7. Enhanced Hotkeys - better then oblivion? not sure

8. Trade and Commerce - I think this is the mod that lets you have your own shop and sell your stuff there. havent gotten to that point yet

9. Realistic Leveling - I dont like the leveling system in vanilla. it forces you to stop and grind for the skill you want to level up to get the +5 you want

10. Basic Primary Need - because it makes the game a little harder and adds a little realism maybe

11. Alluring Potion Bottles - wouldnt hurt to change how bottles look i think

12. Detect Life XRay Vision - no reason

13. Low Polygrass - little boost in performance

Im also thinking fo adding Enhanced Economy since i noticed that there isnt one in OOO
but im sure ive read that OOO incorporated Enhanced Economy in it so I didnt install a separate one.

Also thinking of adding deadly reflex, is there a better combat enhancer mod?

hope you guys can tell me if theres any known incompatibilities on these mods and suggest mods few mods i dont know which i can add or replace these mods.. thank a lot in advance
