A selection of TheEnigmaticMan's favourite mods.Edit
Herein stands a table detailing those mods of special interest and profound meaning to TheEnigmaticMan.
AestheticsEdit
Those mods intent on the beautification of Oblivion.
Mod | Description | The Good | The Bad | The Ugly |
---|---|---|---|---|
Book Jackets. |
Adds unique covers to all books, including titles on the bindings. |
Libraries are now much easier to navigate. |
Nothing. |
Some books appear upside-down on bookshelves. |
Clocks of Cyrodiil. |
For those gentlemen to whom punctuality is everything, Clocks of Cyrodiil is essential, adding as it does a wide variety of handsome clocks to the many edifices of cyrodilic cities. |
Lends an air of realism to the game - how do those not blessed with an f4 button know the time? |
Nothing. |
Quite the reverse. |
The Elven Map. |
A full colour, textured map. |
Beautiful. |
New icons do not mix well with DarkUI'd Darn. They become very small. |
Nothing. |
DarkUI'd DarN |
Renders the UI interface a far more useful affair, allowing one to see many more items in their inventory at once. |
More convenient, customisable interface. |
Can make map icons rather small with certain map mods. |
Nothing to my prejudice. |
HomesEdit
Those mods providing new places in which to domicile oneself.
Mod | Description | The Good | The Bad | The Ugly |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ancient Towers. |
Two towers filled with interesting things, like a renewable Oblivion Gate. |
Two shops, new weapons, massive display room, jewel waterfall, rooms which are maps... |
No unique dialogue. |
The wayshrine atop the first tower looks slightly askew. |
MechanicsEdit
Those mods making changes to the properties of gameplay elements.
Mod | Description | The Good | The Bad | The Ugly |
---|---|---|---|---|
Better Hunting. |
Changes the price of pelts and meats, making it possible to earn a living through hunting. For example, a Bear Pelt is now worth 100 Septims. Also adds an NPC operated hunting store in Weye. |
Hunting is now economically viable. |
Nothing. |
Nothing. |
Blood Potions. |
This mod adds various blood potions to the game, allowing vampires to slake their thirst in the field. After all, a gentleman can hardly be expected to abandon his present endeavours at the bidding of so primitive and macabre an urge, can he? |
One can ingest blood at any time, and can advance vampiric state at such a rate as entirely obsoletes the obligatory three day wait. |
Nothing. |
Nothing. |
MountsEdit
Those mods facilitating rapid transit throughout Cyrodiil.
Mod | Description | The Good | The Bad | The Ugly |
---|---|---|---|---|

There are some minor animation problems. |
ServicesEdit
Those mods adding merchants, purveyors and all manner of service providers.
Mod | Description | The Good | The Bad | The Ugly |
---|---|---|---|---|
Arcane Bank of Cyrodiil. |
A bank which generates interest on both gold and enchantment points. |
Can increase the player's wealth dramatically, and provides instant access to recharge points. |

Strangely placed entrance - in the middle of the street. |
