So I've bought Oblivion for the second time (can't find my old disc anywhere) and have just exited the sewers. I have been on a two year hiatus with the game after two computer meltdowns and am finally willing to play again. (I think I played it out before....took a much needed break). Naturally, I'm going to dl all the DC and Gis' mods, and I have obmm installed already. I think I'm going to get the fast exit mod, but that doesn't leave much space on my hard drive for anything else (I do need a new one, but can't get one atm).

So I was wondering what would be the top....let's say 3 mods you would say you couldn't live without (again, besides our mods).

Thanks

Deadly reflex

Lost spires

Quest award leveler (a must)

And all the official addons(if this counts)

Castle Glenvar and or hoaraforst are nice castles look at old books reviews on the AK thread Dummer Skyship too

Race Balancing Project
LAME (Less Annoyin Magic Experience)
Living Economy
All of Duke Patricks Combat mods

Natural faces, beautiful people, and unlimited rings.

Advanced Mark and Recall
Apachii Goddess Store
Exnem Female Eyecandy..
The Lost Spires..

I like the Quest Award Leveler mod, the Race Balancing Project and LAME so far

Not sure about Mark and Recall as fast travel is convenient enough

Since I don't have much space, I don't think I'm going to dl any castles or anything that makes the game prettier to look at. And since I've finished the game a few times already, I'm not going to get anything that makes the game easier Living Economy I'll dl whenever I start my merchant character, but right now I'm just running around again and getting my character up a few levels. And Lost Spires I've played and finished before...although very beautiful.

Doom: I didn't see anything called Dunmer Skyship...is the title different?

Thanks everyone for your input

Also look at SM plugin refurbish if use any official addons, so you don't get everything right off the bat, choice and consequences adds some repeatable quests and tests to advance in FG and MG, and possibly an alternate start mod, I use Alternate Start arrive by ship (unless you like the prison sewer)

oh and it is dwemer skyship, not dunmer

Cyrodiil Training Center, lol, shameless self promotion!

If you ever plan to use a bow, denock arrows is a must have (very small mod so it hardly takes up any space). If you like displaying your hard earned armour, reznod's mannequens is good but then again it is decorative.
I don't know if you would be interested in Akatosh Mount by Saiden Storm? It basically gives you a flying dragon that you can use as a horse. It is alot of fun flying over cyrodiil but it can break immersion especially if you are a low level character.
Et in Arkay Ego is a new quest mod that is really cool. It doesn't involve any combat so the author had to add other content to make it interesting. I definitely recomend it. I would also recommend Heart of the Dead as another excelent quest mod but if you are concerned about hard drive space, you may want to wait on that one since the DL alone is over 500 MB.
If you get the frostcraig DLC, also get either frostcraig reborn or frostcraig revisited. (Whichever suits your tastes better). If you play the Dark Brotherhood quests, there is a tiny mod called Whispered warning that you might like (also a very small mod). I won't tell you what it does because that would involve spoilers. You can PM me if you want more information on it.
Realistic Physics and Force does exactly that. The ImpeREAL mods are esp only so they don't take much space but they make the IC look more realistic and better. Streamline (the main function I use is automatic autosave every x minutes but it also has some fps increasing features just don't enable the kill corpses function).

That was probably a lot more than you were looking for.

If like me you have a computer with a 128MB graphics card, you may find this link to be useful
EDIT - had to remove the link as it interfered with one of our members fire wall... if you want the link pm me, or brasi
