Oblivion Mod Manager

This is a program which can be used to manage your oblivion mod collection. It handles the installation and uninstallation of mods, and can also detect some conflicts between them. Never again will a mod overwrite some of your favorite textures without warning.

Tweaked AWS Weather 2.0

This mod is based on the great Atmospheric Weather System mod by HTF. You need to have AWS installed to use my mod
http://tinyurl.com/y6uzbz .I love AWS but there are some things I like from Natural Environments and other things I like from Vanilla Oblivion.This mod is more or less an heavily revamped version of the Brighter Nights-NE colors modification for AWS.

Gizmo's Nebular Mod

This mod replaces the default textures for the central band/main nightsky nebular with a new more colorful/detailed texture

Improved Doors & Flora Ver1.0

This is a retexture of several doors, flora and other miscellaneous objects. I have included three vanilla door meshes so if you are using a parallax mod it will overwrite the parallax meshes which can cause problems with the textures.

Oblivion Mod - Improved Trees & Flora

This is a retexture of several trees, flora, shrubs & fungus. The majority of the texture are 1024x512 & 1024x1024. Over half of the trees have been done so a performance hit (more shuttering) when loading new sections may occur. To install unzip or drag to the oblivion folder. If asked to overwrite, choose "Yes".

GAMEPLAY

Deadly Reflex 2.51- Combat Moves! Thread 2, Dynamic combat! Shieldbashes, flips, dodges, knockdowns

Deadly Reflex 2.0 brings a whole new dimension to Oblivions combat, making fights filled with action and speed no matter on what level you or your opponent are! New version includes knockdown effects, dodging, flipping and shield bashing, for BOTH you and NPC´s!

The reason was the fact that I´m trying to squeeze out the update today, so instead of downloading now, I would hold on to the update.
This update will add/fix the following:
* NEW non-acrobatic dodges. Only some NPC´s will use the rolls and the flips, and the change is greatly smaller for Heavy Armor types.
* NPC´s can jump over obstacles, so they can jump or flip over low walls or follow you on that rock you thought they can´t reach.
* Fixed the shield bash not "firing" before you RELEASED the bash key, making it feel like input lag. It will now work the instant to press the key.
* Fixed the NPC´s flipping through ceilings in some dungeons.

Throwing Stars II, Throwing Knives, Darts, Axes, Stars and more

Title says most of it and this MOD essentially adds throwing weapons similar to, but more versatile, than those provided in Morrowind. This MOD is primarily marksman skill based but has other real time and role play features.

francesco's mod - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GAMEPLAY CHANGING MOD

Tired that nearly all creatures level up with you? Bored that at level 25 all bandits of the world are god-like ones with daedric equipment? Than this mod is for you. I think that the game has to be challenging but that not every fight has to be an epic one. This mod aims to create a more realistic and enjoyable experience, it will not make the game easier, just more credible (actually it can make it harder depending on the parts you decide to install)

The mod is now splitted into 2 files.. the main file.. which installs everything needed to run the mod.. and an add-on file.. which adds new user made weapons/armors and creatures to the mod (more info can be found in the readme) Keep in mind that you have to download and install both files if you want to use those new items/creatures.

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul - Another Highly Recommended Gameplay Mod

Now in its sixth version, this plug-in is set to revolutionize the way you experience TES IV: Oblivion.

In their name, and with great pleasure, I welcome you to Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul!.Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul is a very complex and extensive modification to TES IV: Oblivion. It changes thousands of variables of this excellent game and also merges into it several very popular third party modifications.

SOUND AND MUSIC

Extra music pack for Oblivion

I've produced some ambient/soundtrack music in spirit of Jeremy Soule's original score, which I've imported into the Oblivion music subdirectory and have found the atmospheres quite enjoyable ingame, so I thought it would be nice to share the material with other friends of Oblivion. The main goal has been to stick to the original atmosphere so that the new tunes wouldn't feel out of place but would enhance the original ideas

The Oblivion Texture Overhaul - The Ultimate Visual Experience for TES IV

The Oblivion Texture Overhaul (TOTO) is not a mod itself, but rather a guide to a lot of great mods that improve the appearance of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Low Poly Grass

This mod reduces many of the grass meshes down from 20 triangles to 8 triangles. The effect this has depends on your computer, but for most it is a sizable increase in FPS.

Improved Facial Textures Redefined (2.1v)

This increases the resolution of all facial textures through a complete facial texture overhaul. No longer will you notice discolored squares on people’s faces or jaggedy wrinkles. While this may change the way the faces look, rather than just making them look sharper, I believe it will look much more natural.

GAMEPLAY

Lock Bash

This is the most realistic lock bashing mod currently available: just strike the chest or door with a heavy weapon until the lock breaks. Bashing causes damage to your weapon, and is a crime. The damage done to the lock with each swing is based on your strength.

No Psychic Guards and Reneers Guard overhaul

When you murder someone out of sight and out of sound range, the guards will not show up out of nowhere, unless they are nearby and hear the yelling e.t.c

QUESTS

HERE

The Oblivion Quest List (TOQL) is intended to be a comprehensive guide to good quest mods for TES IV: Oblivion. It is a community project, in the sense that all of the mods here have been recommended by members of the mod community, primarily in this ESF thread. Good quest mods are critical to the future of Oblivion modding, because without them people quickly get bored with plundering random dungeons, no matter how great the "eye candy" is.
