about the best practices in 2024", as it may be as useful to some, as the UOP updates are. (I hope the authors are fine with that).
If you still haven't gotten all the official DLCs in 2024, first get/upgrade to the game's GOTY Deluxe Edition (not the GOTY version, as I happened to have before and thought it would have them all - it doesn't). Available on Steam and GOG (I got it 80% cheapier here for just 4 septims). If you have another Steam version like me, you can still install GOG's GOTY Deluxe version and just copy all the DLCs into your old Steam installation folder.
Remember then, to grab all the Unofficial DLC Patches too.
Absolute minimum must-haves (and still working great in 2024) for a stable setup, besides UOP, are also Oblivion Display Tweaks, MoreHeap and suggested, but not required, dxvk (only the d3d9.dll from the latest release). I no longer suggest Oblivion Stutter Remover, as it definetely causes more issues with modern Windows versions than solving. For a good setup with MoreHeap settings, refer to my detailed post in the specific mod. Then also grab EngineBugFixes and Blue's Engine Fixes. Do not install other no longer relevant or possibly damaging or conflicting mods, like NVAC - I looked thoroughly into almost everything I could find. Many are outdated, or not needed.
I truly hope, this helps everyone getting new or again into modding, and safes you some headaches and research, or solves some questions. I did a lot of
research and testing, this is just the conclusion of it all.
Also, there's nothing wrong with using NVAC, and everyone should be using it as it's compatible with Oblivion out of the box.
Regarding Oblivion Display Tweaks, I ran into serious issues trying to use that as well. It caused runaway frame rates which made the game unplayable due to the resulting physics issues.
dxvk is something I can vouch for though. That being set up properly rescued my game from a terrible state of crashing excessively. Once I had it set up well I was able to make the Cyrodiil loop around the roads on foot from Anvil to Leyawiin without crashing. Something I hadn't been able to get anywhere near doing in years.
The incompatibility warning comes from them both editing the same object, a script IIRC, the UOP fixed it for an oblivion installation without SI, and the USIP fixing it differently for one with SI.
It is covered in the documentation.
Version number for patched is 1.2. 0416
check it at the lower left of the main title screen at start
There was a mod fixing the dialogue I think, but it's hidden: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/37981
"Staada (Helpless Army quest Golden Saint commander) will no longer tell the player to inform Sheogorath of victory if spoken to after the main
quest is completed"
Sure, just use the CS or CSE yourself to add a condition:
getstage SE12 << 200
to that topic
in any mod you have.
I see on uesp it says this:
"If Shivering Isles has been installed, the enchantment on all "of Voltage" weapons and all "of the Dynamo" weapons is changed to the Shivering Isles' "of Soul Voltage" enchantment. Therefore, a Soul Trap for 5 seconds enchantment is added to the Shock Damage. Also, the cost for each strike is increased to 46 magicka instead of 24, so the number of uses is decreased to 26. This change is applied retroactively to all such weapons (including any ones that you found before installing the Shivering Isles).
But I had the soul trap enchantment before I installed Shivering Isles, and the description read: Shock dmg 15pts, soul trap 5 secs, 50 charges. Anything I can do here?
Thank you!
EDIT: i found the missing nif
" The statue's appearance is determined (and it spawns) the moment you enter a "new" cell occupied by Martin. This will usually be when you open the door to Cloud Ruler Temple after he has returned there, but can also be on the road to it if you intercept him along the way. The armor and weapon will be the best quality items that you had in your inventory at the time, not necessarily the items that you had equipped."
