Oblivion Beautification Project

INSTRUCTIONS

█ Mods with black text - Essential mods for a bug-free game that look exactly like the screenshots
> Requirements: At least 2GB video memory.
█ Mods with a green square - Not necessary for visuals, but recommended mods that won't have any FPS impact
> Requirements: At least 4GB video memory
█ Mods with a red square - Performance heavy mods, only recommended for high-end systems. (When installed on top of black/green mods)
> Requirements: At least 4GB video memory
█ Mods where lore-friendliness is debatable - Moste mods in this list are lore friendly. However... Lore-friendliness is subjective, and sometimes lore-friendliness depends on usage of a specific mod. Whenever something could be questionable, pink is the color.

MOD MANAGER

When starting NMM, use the username and password from the Nexus site. Make sure "Archive Invalidation" is checked. See image.
The links in the mod-list will take you to the description page of every mod. Click the "Files" tab and you will get to the download section.
NMM will automatically catch the file(s) and start downloading right away after clicking "Mod Manager Download". NMM will then save the file, and the mod will show in the "mods" tab in the main window. Right click the mod, and you can choose to install, uninstall or permanently delete it. When a mod has been installed, a green check mark will show next to the mod, and if the mod contains esm/esp files, then they will then show in the "Plugins" tab.

IMPORTANT: If at any time, NMM shows an "upgrade" dialog box (See image below), claiming that another version of a mod has already been installed, and asks: "Would you like to update?". Always select "No". No exceptions. ALWAYS "No".

MOD-LIST

PLEASE READ: Install the following mods one by one, in listed order. This is important, as some mods overwrite files from others.

Most listed mods are from NexusMods. Unless otherwise specified, install the latest "Main File" and click "YES" to overwrite if asked.

Recommended: After installing each section of mods, launch the game and see if everything works. The list is long, and it's easy to miss an item or overwrite the wrong file. If the game doesn't work, at least you will know where to look.
*Before launching the game, sort the load-order according to the list here: (LINK)

Note: Due to Oblivion's age, some mods from the Nexus are packed in a way that NMM can't use. Those mods have all been repacked and put in the files section of this guide. As a courtesy to the creators of those mods, links are provided to the original mods, even though no download is necessary.
