I’m also investigating mods that display the map in color. I have checked out the Darnified UI and found it goes too far in the other direction, with text becoming smaller than I’d like. While it’s nice for my aging eyes to have everything giant-sized, I find the inventory screen and map especially annoying in how little information they show at a glance. These are the main things I would like to address via mods: While I’m not looking for any level scaling fixes, I could be sold on one that keeps low-level threats like rats and wolves from becoming uber-beasts when my character is tricked out in crystal armor or whatever the heck you end up with. I’ve installed the latest version of the Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) to start. I seek the advice and wisdom of other Oblivionites here. Last night I spent some time on the TES Nexus combing through the possibilities. To that end, I’m avoiding the admirable and exhaustive packages put together by Jason McCullough and triggercut in favor of trying to address my specific needs. I’m not interested in modding the heck out of the experience but I do want to adjust a few things.

Predictably, the discussion thread for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had me re-installing Oblivion and I’ve decided to make it my One True Game until I either complete the main quest or end up with a castle filled with yarn, whichever comes first.
