:: Tamriel Travelers 1.35 This mod adds traveling merchants with unique personalities, pets, and travel schedules. They sit down to eat, run from place to place, enter inns and cities when their pets are small enough and even help you when they feel threatened. This is a perfect companion mod to balance the difficulty of playing with MMM and OOO…
Danger Sense – Feral Instinct v1.5 Interesting variations on Detect Life with different colors for hostiles, friends, and even corpses. No more corpse lost in tall grass forever ! (Continue reading if you have issues with missing meshes with this mod) Edit: I ended up discarding this mod because of unresolved conflict around the Dark Forest area.
I used to have systematic crash on exit after installing/removing/tweaking mods for a few months. I went through the pain of doing a clean install, with only the mods I found absolutely necessary, and used OBMM along the way to keep things clean. A good load order is vital to avoid crashes (for example, Knights of the Nine is known…
Based on the observation that the .esp file from Shivering Isles seems to be doing nothing more than registering new resources in the game, famous modder Quarn released a clever alternative to OBMM and Archive Invalidation files. ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! v1.1.0

Then I installed Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) which is a requirement for the Streamline 1.0 mod, and experienced a significant improvement of…

I happen to like the proportions of this one (not too extreme nor too skinny, although the shoulders and hands are a little too large).. .and judging from the number…

MorningDayStormSunsetNight Ayelid ruins at dawnClear weather over Imperial City To be fair, NE has a tendency to be too yellow but I prefer its color sky more and the clouds are just fantastic.

I still experienced too many crashes to desktop playing the game, probably a bad mod or issues in saved game, so I waited a few months to dull the pain of starting over yet again. I had to review the…
