Running GOG version of Oblivion installed through Lutris. Noticed an issue when running Oblivion through Mod Organizer, even if installed in same prefix, background music would not work (sound effects do), while everything works fine when running Oblivion through Lutris. To fix this, did the following:

• installed Oblivion through Lutris
• re-configured Oblivion's “executable” path to point to MO2 installer
• installed MO2 normally, then re-configured Oblivion executable to point to ModOrganizer.exe
• set Wine version to Proton Hotfix (while still using runner=wine) System (v10.6 as of writing this)
• start MO2 and complete setup (portable instance, start managing Oblivion, connect Nexus etc)
• test-launch Oblivion through MO2 - it should launch but without background music
• close Oblivion and MO2, then set Wine version in Runner options back to default wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 > save
  • later switched to GE Proton (latest) since wien-ge gave slightly weird mouse-acceleration and comes with a shitty barebone filebrowser where it's not even possible to sort by name or date and thus hard to browse for mod files

This way, can launch MO2 through Lutris and Oblivion/OBSE through MO2 with sound working normally.

Mod Manager and load order sorting tool. (alternatively, use Vortex)

https://obse.silverlock.org/

Used v1.2.416 - first extracted obse_0021.zip in Oblivion folder, then replaced obse_loader.exe with the GOG version (second link). Can use OBSE Tester to verify OBSE is working.

diagonal movements, when in bow aiming rotate 3rd person spine2 to look up and down, skyrim-like vanity camera mode.

Requirements:

• OBSE

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/51244?tab=description

enhancement for walkblessed mod which suffers from very slow 3rd-person camera sensitivity and adds granular control over camera offsets and more

Config:

• by default, the 3rd person camera is offset to shoulder view and also snaps to different heights when drawing or sheathing weapons or when sneaking. To change those offsets, play around with the following settings in OBSE/plugins/Walkblessed.ini:
  • fDrawn3rdCamXOffset=0
  • fDrawn3rdCamYOffset=0
  • fDrawn3rdCamZOffset=20
  • fSheathed3rdCamXOffset=0
  • fSheathed3rdCamYOffset=0
  • fSheathed3rdCamZOffset=5
• there seems to be typo in DiableFlyCam=true, but not sure what this does, so left it at that

• OBSE

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/42400

Mod overhauls the grass in oblivion.

Requirements:

• seems to be a rather dirty mod as it apparently installs unneeded shaders and oversized LOD textures, see posts
• also comes with Grass Overhaul_xUL_Imperial_Isle_patch.esp which requires the missing master esp xulImperialIsle.esp, which in turn reportedly belongs to

Unique Landscapes Compilation

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/42438

scrapped - Camera Commands, which this mod relies on, is only available shared on upload sites as mediafire, just includes a dll with no documentation which is shady, and its functionality seems to be incorporated in Oblivion Reloaded, which in turn seems to be superseded by Oblivion Reloaded Combined which is a whole other can of worms.

adds beards…

Requires:

• Blockhead

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/25232

This mod populates the prisons in the cities of Cyrodiil. There is a 50% chance for a prisoner to spawn in a cell. The prisoners have their own greetings, which may give clues as to why they are in prison, while others will simply talk… In the prison you'll find everything from Vampires, lunatics, ghosts, drunkards, rapists and murderers.

may be removed - horrible voice acting and NPCs just standing around outside their cells

=== Oblivion - Enhanced Camera === https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/44337 This is an obse plugin that enables a visible body when in first person. Also, any points where the game force switches to 3rd person (sitting, death, etc) are now in 1st person. Requires: * OBSE likely to be replaced by Custom Enhanced Camera since EC is not supported by and causes CTD with Oblivion Reloaded (any version)

Requirements:

• OBSE

Config: The mod is packaged incorrectly, so need to install manually in MO2, recreating the necessary folder structure so that the .dll and .ini reside in Date/OBSE/Plugins:

=== Coronerras Maximum Compatibility Skeletons === https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/27945 Better Animation Skeleton with ALL the bones in every custom skeleton for Oblivion. Better Bouncing Boobs for HGEC. Better lower body for Demons with textures. What more can a person want? obsolete since using HGEC with BBB which includes this skeleton

=== HG EyeCandy Body === https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/15802 Improved body meshes by RAIAR (Normal, Fighter & GUTS) and MadCat221 (EBE). It also includes Exnem's EyeCandy Body textures.

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/34442?

Requires: * Coronerras Maximum Compatibility Skeletons * HG EyeCandy Body * RobertMaleBodyReplacerV52 Might remove since default armor actually looks decent enough with upscaled textures and this mod makes questionable style choices.
