Oblivion grass will eat up your cpu and make loading choppy without it. Lowpoly Grass/ Short Grass - There are many versions of this.STREAMLINE WORKS!!! You just have to be patient and scientific with it: Experiment, experiment experiment. KEEP TWEAKING UNTIL YOU FIND THE RIGHT SETTINGS. Note: if your choke point is your GFX card or you intend to overclock you might want to go the other route and set cache-clearing high).
ON DEFAULT IT WILL PROBABLY SLOW YOU DOWN!! In particular bring the fps range up, set combat fps very low (I have it at 3), bring the fog closer, allow clipping behind the fog, increase interval between Streamsaves, and lower rate of cache clearing (this is important if your GFX card is better than your cpu (like me). After installing read the config info and edit the Streamline ini to match your computer. They are idiots who have installed this on default without experimenting with the settings.
unless you are a masochist.ĭown load some mod lists. YOU WILL NOT ENJOY A HEAVILY MODDED OBLIVION WITHOUT THEM.
These will take you an hr to setup and install and they will save you ungodly amounts of time and frustration. OBSE - Scripting software needed for most super cool mods.Tes4edit - Tells you what mods are conflicting.BOSS - Auto sorts your mods with one click.OBMM - for installing and organizing mods.I know its a hassle but trust me you will thank GOD you did in the end.
It is already the recent version and patching it with the official patch will destabilize your game.Īfter Installing Oblivion, download these programs. DO NOT PATCH THE GAME OF THE YEAR ADDITION. STOP!! Did you buy the game recently? Most of the articles are old and they will tell you to patch it. If you put it in program files, Vista is going to give you hell every time you try to mod it if it even runs at all. This should make Vista happy about modding and altering the game. Instead make a folder in your User partition for Oblivion. First DO NOT install oblivion to program files.
