Happy Sunday everyone. Hope everyone has had a refreshing weekend. I have been playing minecraft and Disco Elysium this past week.

    Oblivion, kinda Vanilla+. I have a depressing number of hours dumped into Morrowind and Skyrim, but Oblivion has kinda always just been “there” for me. That game that came between. I’ve beaten it in the past, enjoyed abusing things like paintbrush steps and all that, but never got really invested. Couldn’t tell you why.

    So, I’ve decided to change that. Taking it slow, exploring, and just having a generally good time.

      Fancy sharing the vanilla+ mods you have? I had a collection for oblivion myself ages ago but my HDD died and i didn’t remember what I added but i remember it being quite fun.

      I did the same with morrowind but that has a website dedicated to a vanilla+ modlist

        Home, wanted to give a cleaner version now. Just for awareness, I have a copy from GOG, so I have the 4gb patch baked in, but for physical copies and I think the Steam version, you’ll have to grab that, too, like with most older Beth titles.

        First, running BethINI for deep ini tweaks for the base game, highly recommend.

        xOBSE, not the older OBSE.

        Unofficial Oblivion Patch, Unofficial Shivering Isles patch, Unofficial DLC patch.

        Blockhead.

        Engine Bug Fixes and Blue’s Engine Bug Fixes.

        Oblivion Display Tweaks.

        SkyBSA.

        OBL Mod Limit Fix.

        MenuQue.

        LINK.

        OBSE Elys Universal Silent Voices.

        Shambles Crash Fix.

        Cornerras Maximum Compatibility Skeletons.

        HG EyeCandy Body Replacer.

        Oblivion Character Overhaul V2, OCO- Advanced Edition for bashed patch compatibility, OCOv2 - Filter Patch for Mods. This is where I needed the guide as you need to have things a certain way for WryeBash and UOP.

        New Eyes for OCO V2.

        Ultimate Leveling.

        Carry More Stuff(I use the Lite esp).

        Maskars Oblivion Overhaul.

        A Brotherhood Renewed.

        Kvatch Rebuilt.

        Immersive Weapons.

        Clearer Underwater.

        Here’s a link to the Essentials guide

        I’m currently away from my laptop, so I’m going mostly off memory for now, but it’s pretty basic:

        Oblivion Script Extender(OBSE), Blockhead, HGEC body mod, Immersive Weapons, Oblivion Character Overhaul, Better Underwater(removes the fog from outdoor underwater locations), Maskars Oblivion Overhaul, Ultimate Leveling customized to near Vanilla but using the KCAS wheel setting for attribute leveling, LINK, Unofficial Oblivion Patch, a few sub patches for UOP.

        If you look up “Oblivion Modding Guide Steam”, that’s the list I pulled from for the base setup.

    Satisfactory. The factories keep getting bigger and bigger and producing fewer and fewer parts.

    I’m currently feeling heavy decision paralysis. Do I build a second gigantic factory to produce motors or do I build a railroad across the entire map and transport them instead?

    Silent Hill 2 Remake- I had been wanting to get into the SH franchise, but when I played the SH1 via emulation I was underwhelmed by the controls. Hated to drop it because it nailed the ambiance of what a horror suvival game should be like. Anyway, I’m liking the SH2 remake so far.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio- Still making my way through the demo since I don’t know if I want to jump all in just yet.

    Been playing Remnant 2 because I have a terminal addiction to looter shooters. It has two separate guns that fire the platonic concept of “cube” as a projectile to deal damage. They both have infinite ammo and I will fire them at thin air because they fire “cube” and that fact is absolutely delightful. Something is wrong with my brain.

    Some space fash simulator (space marine 2) since a recent patch actually allows it to run more than 30s before crashing. Fun game, difficulty overtuned as fuck though

    Been playing Fire Emblem: The Morrow’s Golden Country. It’s a pretty great romhack, with a good story, and that Three Houses feeling of “is anybody really good or bad? I don’t want to kill them”. I have a feeling it’s only going to get more complex and gain more depth, and I’m here for it.

    I’ve been replaying Celeste because last time I stopped in frustration at 5b. Now I’m on 7c and oh boy the last screen is something else. I’ve been stuck for two hours already.
