Travel the continent of Tamriel, defend the land against Oblivion's Daedra hordes, and help fill the empty throne of Cyrodiil in the fourth installment of the Elder Scrolls series.
So I played through Oblivion on my 360 when it first came out, and I remember being astonished with out great it looked. Well, a little while down the road, I picked it up for PC and...well, I guess it just is not as pretty. I have all the settings maxed out and it still looks kind of meh. So my question is, can you guys link me to the essential mods that make the game prettier please : )
Aw man, these mods bring me back the times when I had a good gaming computer...I was young and downloaded so much stuff that ended up having bugs haha.
The highly recommended mods in that page are a must. Also, that's a tweak guide you got there so you'll able to improve framerates and other issues if you follow it closely.
You need that distant landscapes mod thing from the looks of it.
Is that the thing that just adds noise to distant textures or is that something else? I don't like those noise filter 'fixes' because they just hog RAM without much benefit.
I wish someone could figure out a way to bump the sector LOD so objects such as buildings could be seen further off.
I don't know, I think it was just proper high res distant textures but it's been a while since I last tried Oblivion. I would install it again because I got somewhat interested but I actually wasn't satisfied with its performance on my new PC even without mods so I left it... Too bad they couldn't patch it to better use newer hardware... The biggest offender in Oblivion's looks is really the LOD and the character models anyway, which as you say nobody has fixed either... Oh and the lighting of course, no shadows to speak of for anything except characters and such objects...
Having just come off playing this on my Xbox 360 which just produced a lot of noise and some lag when playing this, I damn past me for not buying the PC version. I bet there's some mod which fixes the horrible leveling system also, which coming back to it some years later now seems amazing passed testing. Come on it's just broken.
I have played this game on both PC and Xbox 360. The PC version (without mods) of this game (with max settings) blows the 360 verion out of the water.......it is WAYYYY better looking on the PC imo.
Look up 'Almost Everything Viewable when Distant' as well as 'Atmospheric Weather System.' The game should look fantastic then, if you have an epic PC.
