## It's highly recommended that you don't use Vortex, the collections feature is not good enough, unless you know what you are doing then don't, follow the linked guides below so you can still use the collection while utilizing Mod Organizer 2.

### [How to use Mod Organizer 2 for Oblivion](https://www.reddit.com/r/oblivionmods/comments/gll2tb/a_step_by_step_guide_to_mo2_for_oblivion/), and [how to use mod collections for Mod Organizer 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/vvnfnb/how_to_use_nexus_collections_on_mo2/), make sure to read the comments too. &#x20;

###

The goal of this collection was to make things easier and to expand/improve Oblivion as much as possible, but since it won't be possible unless I really expand the guides for it (Which defeats the point), it's just better to stop using Vortex since the years of me using it were really painful, Mod Organizer 2 has been a blessing, use it instead, and use my collection to get the great mods.

This should hopefully be everything you'd need to play Oblivion without losing the original experience.

The mods are cleaned using TES4Edit, and a bashed patch is included in the collection.

If you face issues please let me know.

### If you download any mod not included in the collection no support will be given to you. As I only Intended the mods in it to work with each other, some (if not most) mods you add may cause issues. And please read the instructions, don't blame me if something goes wrong because you didn't.

> - ### Lot less manual work is needed aside from downloading the collection and its mods. Anything you need to do is in the instructions per mod that need any.
> - ### Load order/Mod rules already done.
> - ### No missing mods, broken mods, or major issues. If you find any report them.
> - ### Most mods can be deleted/ignored if you don't want them. Most mods don't have dependencies (Other than obse) which means they are safe to remove from the collection (prior to starting a savegame).
> - ### Bashed & Merged  Patch included, although it will require all mods they patch or it will cause issues, so past "feature" will not apply if you wanna use them. So you may need to create your own.

#### This collection has a mod for almost everything and everyone, including at least one mod in around 26 categories in Vortex.

Feel free to check the mod tap for further info!

# Prerequisites (Requirements)

###### It's highly recommended that you start with a fresh install of Oblivion, if not, issues can arise. You have been warned.

> - 1. Open the launcher once to generate the settings files. Required for later changes to said settings.
> - 1. Read any and all instructions (Will appear in Vortex) or the full guide unless you are an expert in Bethesda black magic.
> - 1. (Optional) Start a new game and ensure oblivion works normally on your system before attempting to mod it.
> - 1. (Optional) Create a bashed patch after installing the collection. This provides untold technomagical (really good) power to you and the game. One will be provided but it requires all merged mods in it to be preset and disabled if not it will cause issues.
> - 1. (Optional) Get  and use it to improve your settings, highly recommended.
> - 1. (Optional) Write down which revision of the collection you started your save game. This way you can go back and play it later (even years from now) or if any issues arise from using newer revisions.
> - 1. (Optional - Recommended) Get  the one that comes with vortex can be described as "hot garbage" so get this to fix many issues. I will try my best to include loader order changes in the collection but Loot can fix many issues.
> - 1. (Optional - Highly Recommended) Make a backup of the data folder of the vanilla game, this can be used to either revert back or fix many issues that are caused by the very bad vortex mod manager, which likes to mess up the game/install of mods.
> - 1. Change texture size to high. Open game> Options > Video\

## Minimum Specs:

> - Latest Game Version
> - 4 GB RAM (The highest I saw used was ~2032 MB)
> - i3 Intel CPU (or AMD equivalent)
> - 61 GB HDD Free Space (Depends on mods you pick | May change in future revisions)

## Recommended Specs:

> - Latest Game Version + All DLC
> - 8 GB RAM (Not entirely needed)
> - i5 Intel CPU (or AMD equivalent)
> - 61 GB SDD Free Space (Depends on mods you pick | May change in future revisions)
> - Windowed Mode (For alt-tabbing - Enabled by default + In INI Tweak - Will be borderless due to ORC)

##### While optional, having premium will make this much faster, but if you don't mind spending a bit more time then ignore this.

***

# Updating

When a new revision is released please make sure to disable and re-enable the collection, this can be done in the mods tab in Vortex.

Vortex may not remove mods that the collection doesn't include anymore or update modes that were updated in the collection, if that is the case please make sure to do so yourself, if not, issues may arise.

***

# Troubleshooting

### "Plugin missing dependency"

Disable those ESPs, the collection either wasn't intended to have their dependencies or you didn't get their dependencies that were already in the collection.

### Game Crashing On Startup

- Update the collection under the mods tab in Vortex. If this doesn't work, reinstall the collection but don't delete the archives of the mods, this way you don't have to re-download them.
- Could be "Knights - Unofficial Patch" a fix is already included in the collection but just in case here's the fix:

> 1. Open vortex, go to "plugins" then press "manage rules" on the orange top bar, when it opens see if you can see "knights - unofficial patch.esp needs to load after unofficial oblivion patch.esp",
> 2. if you see it then it's not the issue, if you don't then in "Select Plugin" type "Knights - unofficial patch.esp" and select it, then in the box on the right of it select "Must load after" then on the box right of that type and select "unofficial oblivion patch.esp" then on the right of that press "Add".
> 3. Lastly, if it's still not working, use  to sort your load order, which was reported to fix the issue.

## **Neck Seems**

- Open Oblivion.ini in /Documents/My Games/Oblivion and change bFaceGenTexturing=0 into bFaceGenTexturing=1
- Remove Robart Male Bodies. This is should've been removed from the collection.

### Reproduceable/Reoccuring Game Crash

Share the details of it in the bugs section with as much info as possible. Feel free to use the comment section as well.

### OBSE not launching or the game crashing.

Don't run the game with Vortex, either use steam or obse\_loader.exe if you don't have Oblivion on steam.

### OBSE reports "Name".dll incompatible

Delete "OBSE\_Kyoma\_MenuQue.dll" & "OBME\_CS.dll" & "AddActorValues\_CS.dll" from Oblivion\Data\OBSE\Plugins

If it's another .dll report it in the comments or bug section.

### Keyboard or Mouse not working or delayed, etc

Open Oblivion.ini (in Documents/My Games/Oblivion), then edit bUse Joystick= to bUse Joystick=0.

If still doesn't work, do the following:
Change bBackground Keyboard= to bBackground Keyboard=1, if your mouse doesn't work you can change bBackground Mouse= to bBackground Mouse=1 otherwise leave it be.

### None of the above

> - Due to how bad Vortex is with dealing with mods with games like Oblivion and older Fallout games, it may mess up your files, create an insane amount of clutter, and much more. Sometimes you just have to delete it all.

> - Disable all mods, delete the data folder then verify game integrity then re-enable the collection. You may need to redo some stuff like the 4 GB patch and the Oblivion stutter remover ini changes.

## Any other issues

Again, report them in the bugs section (<-- preferable) or comment section.

***

# Known Bugs

1. Robert Male Bodies Should Be Removed. This causes neck seems for males.

***

# Warning!

The majority of people are not having any trouble with the collection of the votes but some are facing issues. I think this might have to do with this collection being created when collections were just introduced (the collection was created in 2021!) although it could be a mistake on my end too.

I will attempt to fix any issues but please use the bugs section to report your issues.

I apologize regardless and I don't want you to see the above as an excuse, I truly feel sorry and I know I was at fault regardless of any issues not caused by me, I take full responsibility and ask you to give the collection another chance 😉

## INI Changes

Already included in an ini tweak with the collection but just in case that stops working at some point. You can ignore this.

Go to Documents\My Games\Oblivion and edit Oblivion.ini

\[General]
bUseThreadedMorpher=1

Oblivion Vanilla Plus

Oblivion Vanilla Plus, modding, made easier. This should provide a hugely improved experience, read the instructions, and you are set. This has mods to satisfy any player.
