# Description

*This is a collection for noobs likes me who don't want to learn "real" mod management with Wrye Bash, and just want some relatively basic improvements to modernize Oblivion and enhance immersion a little bit.*

***

# Main features

- *Bug fixes (unofficial patches)*
- *Slight graphical improvements*
- *Better character faces*
- *Modernized UI (NorthernUI)*
- *Improved horse mechanics*
- *Enhanced hotkeys*
- *Slight NPC population increase (townspeople + adventurers)*
- *Building windows light up at night*
- *Dynamic time scale depending on location (e.g. time passes quicker in the wilderness and slower in towns)*
- *Ability to camp/sleep in the wilderness*
- *Overall level/skills/stats rebalancing, aiming to be more "realistic" and natural*

***

# Before you start

**Requirements**

- *Run *[*4GB RAM Patcher*](https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45576)* first before installing this collection. Read the instructions on the 4G RAM Patcher page.*

**Best practices**

- *Start from a clean install*
- *This collection was created incrementally starting from a clean Steam install, installed in the default location (within Program Files), which is apparently not recommended but it seemed fine for me.*
- If Vortex asks you to "fix loose files", you should ignore it. If you do "fix" them, uninstall and then re-install the texture pack.
- If Vortex reports a "script extender plugin errors", you can ignore it.

***

# Recommended specs

*Hardware setup suitable for this collection (worse specs are probably fine; runs very smooth with max graphic settings for me).*

- GeForce 940M
- 16GB RAM
- Intel i5-6200U

***

# Compatible collections

*Unknown - but I would generally advise against combining with other collections.*

Vortex-Friendly Mini Overhaul

Attempts to improve on all aspects of Oblivion while being easy to deploy and avoiding trouble with conflicts.

Added "Horse Gameplay Overhaul" mod. Added a couple of notes under "best practices".
