Noob question #1 - Installed the same version of OBMM but I see a lot more DLC*.esp files in the manager than what you are showing at ~8:50. Tried to post a link to screencap but YouTube won't allow. Should I leave them or uncheck them? If they're ok to keep, should they be loaded before or after your other files? Thanks again for the great tutorials.

@thinkforaminute you're welcome! Hmm I don't know about the extra esp files. You should only have a few (knights of the nine and shivering isles, besides the main oblivion one). If you can capture your screen and stick it into a video file, then just upload to youtube under your account and I can see it then.

lol, when i watch your videos on 1080p, i have to wait 5 min that i can watch 30 sec of it >_< but it's worth it! ;P

[culveyhouse]

@McRepeee ;) Another trick that a lot of my viewers do is to start the vid, then click pause, then come back in 30 minutes. By then, the whole thing streams.

note to all who are installing mods. install UOP 3.2.0 & USIP 1.4.0 & UOMP v15. these are the unofficial patches made by Quarn and Kivan to patch oblivion & shivering isles & all other official plug-ins for oblivion. these are a must install because they fix THOUSANDS of the remaining bugs in oblivion left unpatched after bethesda stopped patching the game officially. this patch will fix everything from crashes to graphical glitches to quest bugs to fps drops to etc to etc.

Can you upload a version of Oblivion with graphic mods already installed? Thumbs up so he will see.

I've never played Oblivion and i'm downloading it now. Are these the must-have mods for a 1st time player? I've also got the Deluxe GOTY Edition off Steam, will all these work with that version?

Thanks.

[KleinerKiffaJunkie]

i <3 your tutorials :)

[90otto1990]

Is this walkthrough only for steam download ???

[uncleharris86]

Your videos are very nicely narrated. Plus, your organization with that plethora of mods are simply remarkable. I could learn from that for my Poser works. I'll be sure to check your tutorial videos when I get to play oblivion again after getting my half-decade PC upgrade.

Can i set the resolution 1920x1080 if i have a Geforce 470 GTX?

[thebestsniper8]

these video inspired me to begin modding Oblivion and must say i spend more time modding than playing now, its early days but could you guys check out how my oblivion looks and give some feedback, i uploaded a vid of my oblivion on my channel, many thanks! :D

[Ondori412]

What about those of us who still use the original oblivion DVD?

[premiumbright10]

Hey culvey, firstly I would like to thank you for the assistance you gave us on the olbivion mods, and secondly, could you tell me what theme do you have on or where to download it?

@thinkforaminute I bought the Steam Oblivion GOTY Deluxe version and I have more than one DLC .esp files aswell. They only came with the deluxe version.
