It includes extra steps, and in my experience it overrode some of the ENB effects due to loading all the other mods after the ENB. (Mod Organizer 2 is viable as well, but it does not negate the need for either of the programs above. The executable is in Boss/bin/Release-64 (or 32 if you are running a 32 bit version of windows) and then boss_gui.exe. Can also be installed into the /oblivion mods or /Mopy folder. I install this into a steamlibrary/oblivion mods/mopy folder.īOSS to sort our mods in Wrye Bash after installing them. The only mod manager we'll be using is Wrye Bash, which may look complicated, but it does all the work for us.

It may be beneficial to have another save outside on the dock, and in the imperial city so you can quickly access a few different places to see if mods are loading properly from an unmodded save file.

This way you will have a clean save with no mods just before you finalize character selection. You may also want to make a copy of a virgin /steamlibrary/steamapps/common/Oblivion folder as a backup.īefore modding I recommend beginning a new character, getting to the gate at the end of the sewers and saving right before you exit. (Be sure to back up any save games you want to keep.) Keep in mind if you have previously installed the game, Steam will not delete the files in c:/mydocuments/mygames/oblivion, so you should delete that folder to clear any files previous mods or ini settings left behind. Launch it once to set ultra high preset, HDR, No antialiasing, and your preferred screen resolution. Start by installing the game fresh ( someplace other than the Program Files folder). Once you are comfortable with what you have, I suggest browsing through Bevilex's Modlist to see what else you would like to add. It's also for those, like myself, that can't leave well enough alone when you dip a toe into modding, which is why I have yet to finish any of the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. This is intended as a relatively quick and easy guide to get you familiar with downloading and installing mods, to give the game a more modern look without spending hours sifting through a flood of downloads.
