My Oblivion Remastered Recommended Mods

Introduction

This is a (small) list of the plugins/mods for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered that I use. You can find many more, but I mostly want small tweaks and re-balances, so I haven't even looked at what else appeared since I began playing.

Installation Instructions

For standard mods, download the corresponding files and put them in the Content/Dev/ObvData/Data subfolder of where you installed the game. Then open the file Plugins.txt (in the same folder), and add the names of the new plugins to the list (often to the bottom).

Custom mods usually come with their step-by-step instructions.

My Mod Recommendations

• Ascension Remastered - Vanilla-Plus Loot and Balance: Fixes leveling and loot. I use the main Ascension Remastered plugin, and Vanilla Spell Effectiveness.
• Better HUD: Smaller and better organized HUD elements. I use the Default Size (16x9) version.
• NPCs Catch Fire: Adds a bit of realism.
• Permanent Doomstones: Makes Doomstones more useful. I use the vanilla version.
• No Pickpocket Chance Cap: Caps the ability at 100%, instead of to 85%.
• Richer Vendors: Makes vendors have way more gold, to purchase your items. This one becomes more useful as you progress in the game and find better items. I use the standard version.
• Shady Sam Buys Stolen Goods and More: Useful if you play a thief, but beware that selling items to Sam does not count towards your thieving rank. It is still good to simplify getting rid of stolen items. Move to the bottom of Plugins.txt if you enable the Richer Vendors mod too.
• Skip Intro: No explanations required. I use the basic "Skip Intro Screens" version.
• Weightless Alchemy and Misc. Items: I don't like having to travel home just to drop resources and other miscellaneous items, and this mod solves that. Important stuff like armour and weapons still has weight.
