How many mods are you currently using in Oblivion?

None

Less than 10

Less than 25

Less than 50

Less than 100

More than 100

Just over 20.

I voted over 100 because I have A LOT !

It's about 14, currently. I don't like to go much further than that with any one character if I can avoid it, as that's when the mod conflicts can start rearing their heads...

just under 25. I try to keep it well organized, only use ones i really need.

-.- . I have well over 5,77 Gig of mods installed (my data folder). Last time I counted I was running 44 of them, out of like 60. so Under 50, thats me ^_^

Im running just under 20 esps. And many texture mods if those count as well, I'd say around 10 texture mods. As said before in this thread, any more than that they don't get along.


As of 08/21/06 my count has risen to about 50. These great mods just keep comming. Not all are big game altering mods, most are subtle changes that make my friends with the XBox 360 just that much more jealous.

less than 50, but thats subject to change. keep up the good work modders !!

I have about 20 or so a few i made for problems and so are so small i dont think they should count, such as the oh so secret secret passageway opened by the very secret moveable pillar, WONT FREAKING OPENT HE STUPID WALL!!!! so i looked at it in the TES Construction Set and made a small portal that looks like it's replacing a tabletop that teleports you just inside the wall, and another to get back out.

I'm also curious how on earth anyone could get over 100, seriously, thered be so many problems... I guess i shouldn't be talking seeing as in Morrowind I had like over 200, every time I wanted to play I'd start it up and then click through over 150 warning messages telling me theres some file missing or this conflicts with that and so on and so forth... Usually took about 5 minutes to get through them all, five minutes of straight clicking and im not talking about the loading part... Well, at least I have strong fingers now...

It depends on the character I use. Right now i'm playing a warrior, who is not using any special mods specifically for him. I'm using Natural environments and it's addons, Strike a Pose and that's it. I just load those with every character I use... So right now it's 6, but with my archer i'm using a mod for marksman, for special armor and more...

I currently am running 9 mods. But for each character I use different mods so its hard to give an actual number but 12?

About 100-105 with my primary character. (Male Argonian)
Plus a number of texture replacers.

Among them are Francesco's, Natural Environments, Illumination Within, Beautiful Companion, Kobu's Character Advancement System, Cats and Rats, University Cosmetics, Parallax Cities, Bobos Summoned Chest, Darker Dungeons, and a couple of fixes and beta mods of mine own.

I think it should be known that I've hardly had any conflict issues even with this many mods running. However, I did spend time with OBMM making sure the order they were activating minimized conflict issues and I'm also willing to accept the consequences if they do crop up, since the game is hardly worth playing without significant modding. (And definitely worth it, when it is modded so.)

Most of the problems I've had relate to mods battling over which textures to use. (Original, Texture replacer, New mod texture, conflicting mod texture, or none at all.) I've had my eyes disappear once and then more recently, I had the sky disappear during daytime. Both cases were archive invalidation issues, the former using archiveinvalidation.txt, the second using OBMMs method of modifying the BSAs.

As far as other issues... Nothing Gamebreaking, certainly. I once had two buildings dropped in the same place by different mods, but thats the only one I can think of that forced me to choose among them. I also ended up with an unremovable quest item from one mod after grabbing a duplicate from the inventory of a companion produced by the 'unique companions' mod. It took a bit to fix that with the console, but I finally got rid of it.

Alas, I admittedly haven't taken advantage of some of the mods I have installed. The Amnesia Stone, for example, is nice for hiding those annoying quest items that build up in your inventory, but since the Keychain from another mod is a quest item, I have to ditch the stone everytime I want to fiddle with my keys. That or just leave the keys off the keychain constantly, which begs the question why I have the keychain at all. The Skingrad House Basement addon is certainly worth having - well, assuming you have the house, and in my primary game I have been spending more money on spells, furnishing my other homes from the Imperial Furniture mod, and equipping my companion, and getting less money since I hardly find much in the way of expensive weapons as a result of using Francesco's. As a result, I have not purchased half the houses available, including the Skingrad house. Perhaps I will someday, at which point I will certainly enjoy the larger basement provided by the extra mod.

Regardless of the issues, I've had far more fun since installing the additional mods and recommend a bit more adventurous modding of your own games if you really want to enjoy it to the fullest.

Just be ready to pull out the console, spend some time fiddling, or write a small mod to fix the damages if you're unfortunate enough that they do occur.

I'm running 148 mods right now. At one point it was close to about 180. Yes, there are conflicts but I have never had any gamebreaking issues. Everything works just fine. People need to understand that conflicts != will not work or not compatible. They are overlaps. Everyone automatically assumes this is a bad thing and 99% of the time it is harmless. Then again if you do use 2+ mods that both do the same thing or modify similar aspects in different ways( lets say AF levelling and Kobu's) then yes they "conflict"...........and you should be smacked upside the head for even trying it.

i realize i'm super noobish at this, but after i dowload a mod, what do i hafta do to run it? i've never worked with them before at all...

Hi there Cabaedium, please check this thread to find out how to install and use mods, rather than asking here, as your post is off-topic and thus against the rules. Thanks. ^^

ok...

i'm running 150+ and not getting an inch of trouble

is my computer a freak of nature?

Im at 9 but there are a few that I will be testing for compatability over the next few weeks as I get time off from work

It drove me crazy when I’d load up a new mod, only to have my coolest armor vanish, my hands turn purple, and my eyes disappear. There is so much great content out there that I want to use, but yet so many conflicts. So I’ve been doing some heavy duty merging. Tonight I merged 46 mods to 1 which I now need to add to the game. My mod content folder has 19,000 files in it, and although they won’t all be used or remain untouched, a good portion will be incorporated in to the game. Well over 100 mods will be used, but I plan to keep the loaded esp’s to under 10. The fewer the better.

Thanks go out to all the great modders/artists out there, and Bethesda for making such a great game for us to bend and shape (and play I almost forgot that).

I am useing 59 Mods right now and get it get to 70 by the end of the week of coruse it depend what cool mod will come out in the coming days. i got the game a month ago i think it one of the awesome games i played so far..

Heh.. I picked under 50, 'cause I've got like 49
Earlier I have no idea.. I deleted some.
Just active: 49
With unactive: like 61...

250 lol Not kidding..

67/90ish.

I should definetly clean soem stuff up. Some mods conflict and things dont work anymore.

im usim 60ish but by next week iutl like double .....let us thank the internet

Lol, I just finished packing all my mods into .omod files. I counted over 150 mods. I only about run a hundred though. And no conflict, thanks to HOURS spent in the CS editing mods so they wouldn't conflict.

I'm currently running about 15 mods.

The less, the better... so I try to make each one count. Most of them are cosmetic mods... and a few are small gameplay adjustments. Nothing major... I like the gameplay the way it is, more or less.

Less than 100 (62 esp's) ....

156 active. 50 essentials and 106 misc

Last time I checked I had 108 mods, but I was only using about 70 of them. I should get something to manage them but I'm too lazy.

I am using about 16 mods and 5 of them are mods that I made for me only.

189 active, and 200 collectively

and, believe it or not, i have only discovered 1 thats right, 1 conflict

omm is the best thing for organizing everything.

I'm only in the less than 10 category, but i keep looking around for those great mods .

+300

Could you please explain how you accomplished this?

accualy i have 200 ESP-s active but about +300 in there(merging)

I have about 60+ mods running.

Around twenty, maybe less.

Wrye bash lists 257 ESM/Ps in my Active Mod files list. I am using the Merge Mod feature of Bash to merge 14 ESPs into Bashed Patch, 0.esp. Some of the ESPs are parts of MOE and other mods with multiple mod files.

I have 212 OMODS enable in OBMM but again some of these are replacers and have no ESM/Ps while others have many.

Data folder is 10.7 GB (11,498,702,733 bytes)

I know way to much info Sorry.

X > 200

Lets see, I have ...

77 esp's and at least 10 retextures

6.86 GB of info, 4909 files (and counting)

All activated
0 conflicts

Twenty esp files but a lot of retextures.

26 and probably wont put any more on my current game (or at least thats what i keep telling myself)

Around 55 mods at the moment here, not counting multiple .esp's from modpacks. All working smoothly so far.

253 Mods for me.
About 50 of them are exnem related.
The rest are gameplay and content modifications.

less than 10, none actually(I don't know how to make em work)

I have more than 300 installed- but I hit the limit (256 selected) a month ago- and am at a loss what to do now...

Merge or purge, those are your options.

Less than 25

Less than 50

More than 100, but I think it's less than 150~160.
