So, after trying to do a few more playthroughs of Skyrim, i've decided to go back to Oblivion. Just not getting any actual RPG experience out of Skyrim :/

Anyways, before jumping into it, i guess i need to stock up on a whole bunch of mods... that i know nothing of. So... perhaps some of you have played Oblivion recently and can recommend something to start off with?

I'm interested in graphical enhancement stuff, whatever removes levelling enemies, extra content, that is balanced and other enhancements and additions. Not interested in any conversion mods or "adult" mods.

I can recommend Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul', or 'OOO'.

What does it actually do? The description only seems to cover changes from some previous version...

You should definately check out Nehrim if you haven't done so!

Oscuro's is widely regarded as the main overhaul mod for Oblivion and what landed Oscuro a job at Bethesda afterwards. It removes the stupid creature and gear scaling with the player stuff, adds hundreds of lore-accurate items, dungeons, monsters, npcs, improved AI, factions, wars etc.

Aha, that sounds about what i'm looking for.

Sorry, not interested in total conversion mods at this point.

Any other mods i should get?
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45749/? looks promising.

Also, what are the current tools for applying mods? Or is just manually applying them enough?

Feature list at 3.08:

Watch it if you want to install other mods, OOO is so large and has so many smaller tweaks you'll be sure to run into compatibility issues (though most major mods have compatible versions). And I don't know, last I used any I just applied manually.

Also, iirc, you had to use that 4gb patcher thing to actually allow the game to use more memory?

Can't remember, sorry. It's so long ago it was one of the first mods I ever used for any game.

Concerning other mods btw, I always found this one was pretty nicely done, at least for when your PC comes up in level:

I can also vouch for Natural Environments and Living Economy, NE adds some awesome weather effects.

Almost forgot the Open Cities mod http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/16360/?, which works really well in Oblivion (especially when flying).
