The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Modding Guide

I recently had to reinstall Oblivion and mods so I decided to make this guide.
This is my own Oblivion modding guide with my own preferences, take what you like from it.

NOTE: Do not use cracked .exe or you won't be able to use the OBSE modding-tool. Buy the game or use gcw mini-image.
NOTE2: Use non-localiced version of the game (US version) to ensure that mods work.
NOTE3: Install Oblivion to the default directory. It will make your life easier.
NOTE4: When you download a mod, read the README file and always install all required files.

I. Before you begin

1. Learn modding basics:
Oblivion Modding FAQ - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
Installing Oblivion mods - Planet Elder Scrolls

2. Configure and tweak Oblivion to get the best gameplay:
See Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Tweak Guide

3. Register to Tesnexus and Planet Elder Scrolls:
The Elder Scrolls Nexus
Planet, The Elder Scrolls

4. Update Oblivion to latest version (v.1.2.0416):
The Elder Scrolls

5. Install Unofficial Oblivion Patch:
Unofficial Oblivion Patch at The Elder Scrolls Nexus - Oblivion mods and community

6. Install Oblivion Mod Manager:
Oblivion mod manager at The Elder Scrolls Nexus - Oblivion mods and community

7. Install latest version of OBSE modding-tool:
OBSE

8. Run Oblivion.exe before running Mod Manager (game loads .BSA files and creates Saves folder)

9. Check out this Load Order Guide


II. Oblivion Mods Group I: How to make a "Beautiful Character"

See this guide to understand the different methods of creating a character

To make a pretty character you need:
1. Body mod
2. Hair mod
3. Voice mod
4. Face mod
5. Clothes/armors

1. Body mods:
Most popular body mods are Exnems, HGEC and Robert's Female Body mod. Most armors are made for Exnems / HGEC (HGEC is updated version of Exnems), so I recommend to use either one.

Exnems:
Exnems Underwear Body
Undies New Textures
Exnems Nude
High Rez Skin Textures for Exnems

HGEC:
HG EyeCandy Body
High Rez Skin Textures for HGEC
HGEC Body Seam Reducer

You can use Luchaire's Neck Seam Concealer mod to hide neck seams.

2. Hair mods:
These two are the best hairpacks, get both:
Soya Hair Pack
Rens Beauty Pack

3. Voice mods:
Anime voices is the only one that I use
Anime voices
Custom Voice Tutorial

4. Face mods:
This is my own personal Face mod list. You can customize your character's face using showracemenu cheat

Required mods for elf faces:
Rens Beauty Pack (adds Mystic Elf race)
Beatiful People v.2.7

Elf faces:
Sia Mystic Elf
Raewyn Mystic Elf
Eva Mystic Elf
Tommy Mystic Elf
Mystic High Elf-Remake
Nec Elf Kaleah
Aeryn Mystic Elf
Siliana Lineage II Elf
Elves of Lineage II + Patch 1.5 (Beautiful People will conflict with this mod)

Promising looking, haven't tried (these may require other mods):
Imperial Girl Tamara
Dark Elf Eileen Telvanni
Imperial Girl Aliyah (requires Natural Faces mod)
Imperial Girl Albani Celii
Violet Elf

You can search Tesnexus for more (keywords "save", "elf" or "imperial girl").
It is also possible to import face of an NPC for the player character. See this guide.

5. Clothes / Armor / etc:

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to make this. Maybe now I'll finally have the patience to try modding up Oblivion. I just started messing with Fallout 3 modding although they've been a little disappointing to far.

 

[onlinehero]

I managed to import face of an NPC for my character and thought I might add it here..
This is just a saved game file. It may work, it may not.

[Ellina]

hm modding games up is really fun XD
u can mod up oblivion to a nearly different game.
sexyer womans. better looking npcs
weapons spells... a littlebit martial arts
surely some gore and brutal stuff too o.o

but allways u have to hope, the stuff fits to ur version XD

 

[ramallo]

i have some hot mod too, just for who like busty girls XD

 

[handofdoz]

this is good information for when i get oblivion for the cp :D

 

[Deleted member 160]

I played the holy hell out of Oblivion on my first x-box...I'm thinking over 1,000 hours total. I think if I could have a character that looked that hot I might still be playing. I'm assuming you can only do this sort of thing on PC?

 

[Mebius]

This is why you buy PC versions of games when you can, yes. Granted, since modern consoles are pretty much PCs anyway, it's not completely impossible to do on the console. But it is a lot more difficult and generally requires unofficial firmware of one brand or another. If you've got a decent PC, may as well save yourself the hassle.

On a different note, in all my years of going back to Oblivion I haven't been able to get a single character save file to come out like they are in the screenshots, even if I've got all of the mods and whatnot they require. The faces always come out wrong. Anyone else had better results? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I figure they've got to work or people wouldn't upload so many of them.

 

[Ellina]

hm yea
i remember the mistic elf race faces lookedmuch better then normal ones
same maybe for other faces like lineage
but yes i saw my charakters still looking les good like in the screens
but maybe its because the screens are smaler again then the real 3d?

i don't know~

 

[lalala]

mm can anyone make a torrent with patched oblivion or it is impossible?? =) because i haven't oblivion and i 'm a bumb in modifing the games hihihi

 

[Chrno]

Thanks a bunch for the thorough explanation!

Modding Oblivion became a lot easier after creation of the Mod Manager but it was still such a pain to make it all work together without conflicts :)

 

[jojo777]

Ahhhh I've been looking for a collection of adult mods for Oblivion, thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for!

 

[Unrelated]

Finally started playing Oblivion... got bored of it, and decided to check some of this stuff out... and hoooooly crap. Estrus and Chain-It! were particularly nice.

 

[onlinehero]

Then try Fatigue penalties and go fist-fighting (losing). I plan to make similar mod to Skyrim when it comes out.

Personally the funniest thing I did in Oblivion was ski jumping with my horse after I had given it +255 speed and acrobatics :P

 

[Someone92]

As chance would have it I implemented adult content in my Oblivion version just a few days ago, and I came across a site which members translate the XLover Mods into Englisch. Enjoy:
Lovers Lab - Lovers with PK

Found a great side with many, many links to mods and in which order you should install them, follow the instructions and afterwards use the above link to install xLover. The side is in German, but it is so little text and as far as I've seen so far all links lead to English side it should be no problem to navigate through that page even if you hardly understand a word German.

 

[Dandy TIger]

I seem to have an issue where all of my ini and texture files from 10-200 are missing, no matter which version of Xlovers (or files making up the entirety of link in first post) I download. I'd love to just attribute it to my incompetence with mods, but the files just aren't there. Could someone post a link or tell where to get these missing files?



Edit: Also missing 244-300

 

[Someone92]

Have you followed these instructions to install xLover? The ones from 1-200 are in the LOVERS RESOURCE PACK, the ones from 201 to 243 are in the Lovers with PK Base Package rev90. New and improved animation project version 2.4 adds 244, but I'm also missing 245-300; I dunno if they even exist.

 

[Dandy TIger]

Ah, I forgot the Lovers Resource Pack. I feel a bit silly now. Thank you for the help!

 

[Someone92]

On another note, use the OBMM (Oblivion Mod Manager) to create an omod out of every mod with an .esp file, it helps alot to delete/deactivate or fix broken mods.
If the file is already an omod just click 'Load' and select it, if the archive has a folder named "omod conversion data" or similar click 'Create' and then 'Add archive' and select the packed file/archive, OBMM will do the rest.
If it's only a .esp file and maybe some other files/folder unpack them into a folder named 'data', click on 'Create' in OBMM, then 'Add folder' and select the 'data' folder you unzipped the files into; it helps a great deal later on if you fill the name, author, version, website (the one where you found the mod) and copy the description from the mod.
