Oblivion, Part II

Still at it.

Turns out that half the mods I thought I had, I didn't. They'd bit it in past purges to 'clean up' my downloaded mods directory. HGEC was one of these. Sure, I still had like eight different modifications of it, but not the base mod that all the others require.

Others I still have, but have decided not to run in whole, as I used to. COBL is one of these. Turns out some of the problems the previous install was having were due to COBL Races; more specifically, the cosmetic resource pack that goes with said plugin. Annoying, but not insurmountable.

Installed a few weapons, map, and weather mods. Not going overboard and installing ALL the weapons and armor I had before. I didn't use the vast majority of them, and they were just eating space and causing conflicts.

When I got home from dinner, I started playing with my old companions. Man, I had forgotten how shitty Oblivion's facial textures were.

Been toying with some replacements. I miss Dimon99's facial textures. So much easier to make pretty. Still, I think I've managed to find one that doesn't totally suck. Now just to get it all installed...

Still haven't actually fired the game up and started a new one, but I've gotta say, for the first time in months, I'm having fun.

Not having to worry over compatibility with FOOK2, or whether someone's got a dirty save, or is too stupid to extract an archive properly...

GodDAMN I had forgotten how fun it is modding for me. I'm going to have to start doing it again in Fallout 3, pretty soon.
