Oblivion Modding

Oblivion Mod Manager has been easy as shit for me. I don't have a thousand mods installed though so I don't know if that makes a difference.

nothing, simply can't be arsed to download the mods from Nexus with the terrible speeds.

Manual installation, the classic way.

Drag and drop works fine, use something later to edit your load order.

>wanting unidentified crashes
r u for real?

modding without a mod orginizer software may as well be suicide for your game.

Use Wrye Bash, OMM, and BOSS. Yes, all three because Oblivion is such a needy piece of shit. MO seems to be based off WB from what I've seen. Boss will help you sort like LOOT does for Skyrim and omm for installing specific mods that demand it.

There's legitimately no reason not to use a mod manager.

But I'm being baited, there's legitimately no way you can be as retarded as your posts.

In my experience, there's a lot of mods out there where a modder will change something without saying they did. For example, you might think that a mod that adds a bunch of hats wouldn't conflict with a mod that adds a bunch of jewelry, but if the first mod has "circlet" versions of the hats so you can make it clip with hair and the second mod considers circlets to be jewelry, they could both be using the same reference and conflict. Then you're walking around and enter a cell with some NPC that's equipped with one of the conflicted items and the games shits itself trying to figure out what to do. Mod organizers are an easy way to prevent or identify that.

Morrowind is easy shit since the mods are still simple
The hardest install I did I think was the sex mod

What are the must have mods to make skyrim challenging? Like
>new enemy mods
>mods that make smithing/alchemy/ enchanting less broken
>mods that make sneak attacks less overpowered and sneaking more realistic
>mods that remove leveled items and enemies

morrowloot for the leveled items
