Tes4Mod:Types of Mods

Finally getting around to the downloading... first, some tips...

Choosing from Multiple Downloads
BAIN - try to get normal archive versions, not OMOD, not EXEs (OMOD-READY means the download is a normal archive but contains the files necessary for easy conversion to an OMOD, those are still better to download that the "not" options)
OBMM - try to get OMOD or OMOD-ready versions of mods, not EXEs (Regular archives can still be packaged into an OMOD with ease if they are packaged properly, plus you can add your own scripts to handle the less simply packaged mods)
Manual - always check the structure of a mod's contents before installing by first extracting to a temporary location
Everyone - not all mods are packaged nicely, so you may need to repack them
"Packaged Nicely" - at the top level their is either only a "Data" folder OR the default folders OR (OBMM) already in OMOD format OR (BAIN) BAIN-ready
NOT "Packaged Nicely" - you have to do some work...fortunately the big, messy mods usually do not do this to you...
BAIN - make the package either a simple or BAIN-ready archive (explained later)
OBMM - write a quick script to install things where they should go

The "Required" mods, strongly recommended!!!!
# Unofficial Offical Patches:
#* Unofficial Oblivion Patch (UOP)
#* (SI) Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch (USIP)
#* (DLCs) Unofficial Official Mods Patches (UOMP)
# Optimization and Stability: Streamline (SL) (3.1b and the 3.1b patch)
#:Notes: there is a BAIN version of SL available at TESNexus 
# In-game troubleshooting: RefScope,FormID Finder, Actor Details
# Optimization (users with onboard sound): Quiet Fee MAX
# Optimization (everyone who does not have a $3000 setup): Low PolyGrass (almost most robust) or RPG-BlackDragon's LowTriPolyGrass (most to least robust, has 12 options) or Short Grass (not as robust)
# Optimization (512MB or less Vid card): Optimised Distant Land MAX (definitely recommended for 512MB or less video cards)
# Other recommendations: Stabilization and Optimization Mods

Before you download a bunch of random mods are find that your setup is in the sewer...''  ''' 

Where and How to Find Mods

There are two types of collections of mods for the general community, general mod uploads and [?page=places_to_find_mods#SpecificLists type-specific mod lists]. For an extensive list of lists, check out CliffWorm's List of Mods Lists. Since they are specific, lists tend to offer more comparison and detail. If you have a type of mod in mind and it seems to fit in some sort of category, find the related list and compare the options. However, many mods will not make the lists, and they may be just right for you. If you are looking for a certain kind of mod and cannot find something that fits, search for the "Mod Detectives" and "Mod Psychics" threads on the BethSoft forums and ask for whatever you have in mind there. The mods sites catch almost everything and are constantly updated. These are the top upload sites 

# The Elderscrolls Nexus (TESNexus) -  />
#* biggest mod database
#* offers quick search (mod names), category search, tag search (user opinions), advanced search (many, many options)
#** a good way to find "top" mods is to browse a category and sort "downloads" "desc"
#** a quick way to find a certain type of mod is to do a quick search for part of a mod's name
#* See Searching TESNexus for search tips
# Planet Elderscrolls (PES) -

Utilities

Thse plugins, DLLs or applications extend capabilities for other mods, fix bugs, allow for more troubleshooting in-game or provide a pretty launcher with much more use that the original Oblivion launcher. The most important thing to be aware of when searching for utilities is that many are obsolete and out-dated due to newer mods that use later versions OBSE and the inclusion of various tweaks in Wrye Bash updates.

Examples

Auto Book Placer OBSE by Langy (original by Horny Quintus)  - allows the player to activate bookshelves as containers and have books stacked neatly (most of the time)
Clean up by Kuertee - helps prevent bloat, cleans up old junk data from save files
Elys' Uncapper - allows skills to increase over 100
Elys' USV - extends time subtitles without voice files are displayed
FormID Finder - get the FormID and much more of any object
Kuertee's Actor Details - print out to the console a comprehensive list of the plugin ownership of characters and their inventory
Pluggy - a plugin and extension for OBSE
OSR - FPS smoothing and memory management
Streamline - memory purging and buffer management


Game Tweaks, Immersion and Special Items
These mods alter game play. This is really a miscellaneous group of mods offering many, many possibilities.

Examples:
Deadlier Sneaking - want sneak attacks to do more damage?
Common Oblivion (COBL) - adds a lot of useful features and items and is now supported or required by many mods
Enhanced Economy (EE) - Living Economy's spirit successor, regional pricing, different pricing schemes, reduce the value of magic items...
Harvest Flora - plants disappears after you harvest them
Immersive Mining - Roleplay as a miner...?
Living Economy - the original economy enhancing mod
MOBS and OMOBS - armor and weapons stats balancing system
:Notes: OMOBS is the version used for OOO and FCOM.
MQSDone - for those who have already finished the main quest and do not want to replay it on a new profile...
:Note: Read the TESNexus description, especially the bottom bit, for usage notes.
 Oblivifall  - large-scale project to bring a Daggerfall-esque feel to Oblivion
OOO Gems & Gem Dust OBSE - an OBSE-enabled rewrite of OOO geomancy system
:''Notes: FCOM users should not use the MMM version of G&GD, but this enhanced version of OOO's system can be used instead
SM Encumbrance and Fatigue - no more suddenly running up against an encumbrance limit (but there are penalties)
Start Choices - lets you start in a different location, even Kvatch
:Notes: watch out for incompatibilities with quest scripts with alternate start mods

Skills and Leveling

Like the Vanilla leveling system? modifiers? Get rid of it. Also, you will probably want to slow down the advancement rate if you add a overhaul that has your PC fighting for his or her life all of the time.

:Note: Leveling mods may disable the progress bar and set it to either 0% or 100%. That is not an indication of anything being broken, unless the mod is supposed to have reimplemented the progress bar feature.

Examples:
Kobu's Character Advancement System - the most advanced leveling mod of its time, and it may still be the most configurable leveling mod around
It can take a lot of time configure things as you want, but that is why it give the options.
KCAS does offer preset level-advancement modes.
Read the ReadMe, especially if you are doing custom configuration or using a UI mod.
KCAS OMOD Script - if you use OBMM and you use KCAS, get this
nGCD - smooth leveling, no sleeping to level up, no modifiers, totally configurable 
:Note: Equally as good alternatives are Realistic Leveling (another smooth leveler) and Oblivion XP (brings to Oblivion classic RPG exp). This mod is partly inspired by KCAS, so it is a nice, more current alternative for KCAS users.
Oblivion XP Update - this mod brings the classic RPG exp system to Oblivion, now every action has another price 
:''Note: This mod is not compatible with skill progression mods (i.e., Progress) because of how the experience gaining system has been modified. Also, take care when installing the menus. There are different sets of menus for Vanilla Oblivion's UI and other popular UI mods.
Progress - take total control over the rate at which your skills progress 
:Note: The latest version, as of 03-30-2010, does not show an init message on screen or in the console. Do not worry about it. This is not compatible with Oblivion XP or Wrye Leveling
Realistic Leveling - another smooth leveling mod, but without a ton of configuration option, just install it and go 
:Note: There are five settings in the INI that allow the user to control how "smooth" the leveling is. You could even have the vanilla leveling menu appear in full.

Magic Overhauls

Vanilla magic is weak, OOO is a little stronger, then you can go for a real magic overhaul. You can find a few mods in this group to seriously unbalance your game. This guide only mentions balanced options, however.

Examples
Fearsome Magicka - very new
Less Annoying Magic Experience (LAME) - balanced, medium power
:Note: see "mirrors" for the download
LAME OMOD Installer - OMOD Installer for LAME
Midas Magic Spells of Arrum (MM) - more of a crazy spells expansion pack than an overhaul, fairly powerful
Supreme Magicka (SM) - most balanced, medium power

Companions & NPCs

Feeling lonely or wish you had backup in the overhaul-ed Oblivion world? Or maybe you want new NPCs that offer convenient services for the traveling adventurer. Although they might provide good backup, having multiple companions can really bog down your system. Mods that add many NPCs (which means many AI packages) can quickly start hurting performance as well. There are hard limits to the number of companions you can have at once. This can be tweaked some with mods like the bashed patch. However, you could leave Sonia at home while you run around Viconia if you really have to have them all.

Examples
CM Partners Mod Basic - make everyone in Tamriel your companion or even make your own
:''Note: searching "CM Partners" to find this mod will turn up a bunch of people's custom CM partners
Crowded Roads Revisited - adds more life to the roads
NPCs Travel - Adds 114 NPCs & 13 creatures to Cyrodiil and Shivering Isles.
Roaming NPCs - Adds 31 travelling NPCs to Oblivion world.
Tamriel Travellers (TT) - trade with travelers to unload your loot while in the remotest areas of Tamriel  - TT Adv Script >-- See the TT thread for notes on the update.
Tamriel NPCs Revamped - gives makeovers to the 1000+ vanilla (and/or SI) Tamriel residents 
:Note:  TNR Complete OMOD - OMOD version of Tamriel NPCs Revamped''
TT Horse Textures Add-on - requires Slof's Horses Base or MMM 3.7+
Viconia - a romance, quest companion with great voicing
Companion Vilja - fully voiced questing companion

Animations

Maybe you want to take screen shots of your characters in interesting positions or give the Tamriel women a sexier walk.

Examples
Actors in Emotions - how about a smiling portrait of your character? a mildly, angry face?
Seph's Hand-to-Hand Animation Replacer - replaces the default hand-to-hand animations with slightly cooler versions

New Buildings & Locations

Modders have designed all kinds of player homes, new lands and shops. Quests may add plenty of these as well.

Examples
Bank of Cyrodiil - make money while sitting on your behind with interest
Faregyl Village - for the farms!
Glenvar Castle - a castle with an interesting quest (and voiced inhabitants)
Vaults of Cyrodiil - a thief looking for a new challenge?

New Armor, Items and Weapons

Self-explanatory, but look for new additions with OMOBS or MOBS stats if you want them to fit in well with Frans, OOO or FCOM. (See the FCOM-wiki for a list of some MOBS-ified weapon and armor add-ons.) Make sure to check the requirements. Many clothing and armor mods are only compatible with certain body types.

Examples
Bob's Armory - FCOM rec
Lera's Clothes for Men - various outfits the guys (Robert M)  
Loth's Blunt Weapons - FCOM rec  
KD Circlets OOO Optimized - adds Kafei's armored circlets to OOO's leveled lists
Nexon's Armory - cool robe and some very well-designed weapons
Pure Steel Blade 
Slof's Oblivion Goth Shop I - adds a lot of new clothes for Robert's males
Slof's Oblivion Robe Trader - adds many cool new textured robes and replaces many existing robes
Xiamara's New Amulets
Xiamara's New Amulets OOO-FCOM add-on - adds Xiamara's Amulets to OOO's leveled lists

Big Mesh Replacers

These mods are QTP3 (and variants) and optimized Vanilla and SI meshes. They are huge, and parts of them need to be overwritten by many mods.

Examples
QTP3 Redimized - one of the greatest and biggest (multiple Gbs) mods around
:Note: do not forget the patch! 
:Note: QTP3 Regular & Redimized & Reduced Versions - Alternative location for QTP3

Optimized Distant Land MAX - want more FPS outside?

Unofficial Official Patches and the Official Add-ons

There are unofficial patches for Oblivion, SI and the DLCs. There are also MOBS versions available.

Examples
DLCs - i.e., DLCOrrery, DLCBattlehornCastle, Knights of the Nine (KoTN)

:Note: 1) These patches are separate and do not overwrite any plugins. They are not replacement plugins. 2) The patches can be deactivated and imported into Bash by checking them under Import Stats.

Quests

There are so many to choose from. Do you play a good guy? a bad guy? Do you want a 40 hour immserive addition or a fast and furious adventure to get a new set of armor? Maybe you would even like to save your companion's life. Compatibility is a big issue with these guys because they may modify an area around or outside of Tamriel, but there are quite a few that get along with biggest, sprawling-est mods out there.

Examples
Ayleid Ruins Expanded - gives a new reasons to explore (intended for high level characters)

Cosmetic Mods and Body Replacers

The final beautification mods. Adding them can become addictive, but it only takes two of them to break some part of the games features if their installation is not approached with care. Some cosmetic compilation not only give your more options with which to create your character, but may also completely overhaul the Vanilla races. Give your PC a different body, new background history or a new race all together. Lastly, you CANNOT mix mods that use Elaborate Eye meshes with those the use the vanilla mesh. This applies ALL mods that add races. If you use EE, all quest mods you install better have EE support.

See Body Replacers for a more detailed break down of the available mods.
