I'm soon going to get this game for the pc and I was wondering which mods do you people prefer and think are the best. I know theres the 100 top rated files, but theres always hidden gems, so fire away.
What mods do you think are worth downloading?

Marts Monster Mod.
Arcane Archery
Realistic Fatigue.
ALL of the Unique landscapes
Ramy's Enfant
TDA's Armoury Beta (gotta google search this one)
Origin's of the Mages guild.
***If you have a Nvidia card, get an Nvidia blackscreen fix!***
Atmospheric oblivion
Armamentium
Better Cities


i think thats it for now, everything else is on the top 100, or isnt something everyone should have.

Thank you for your reply and the information

Gosh - There are heaps of good mods.
For landscape (depending on your system) There is the Landscape LOD and normal map replacements.
Then we have the great UL landscape series Entius Gorge is beaut.
You might add Koldorns Cave textures as well.
For a bit of fun and originality try some of JQ's stuff (I only just discovered these), and the nude spell (I don't recall the author)
is fun too.
For effects try Night Lights, New Nebular, and 3D moons.
Slof's horses are beautiful.
For houses the IC Shack upgrade - cheap and so handy to the city. House on the Bluff is in a great scenic location.
Then we come to the bodies Exnem, and Exnem variations for the female and Robert for the male are my favs.
Clothing and armour - Where do I start ? You just have to look and look some more and find what you like.
Also go to Tweak Guides.com for a good tweaking guide, and maybe try the Streamline mod.
And that's just for starters....

I still haven't got the game due to exams however exams are now over and I was wondering would these mods work on the game of the year edition or not?

They should since the GOTY edition is Oblivion + Expansions.
I have GOTY as well and havent met any problems.

Also a couple of mods i like.

The Lost Spires.
Add a Archeology Guild with awesome quests and new cool stuff.

BTmod.
Makes the inventory better.

Lore Creatures.
Some new creatures and ingredients.

Helmet FOV.
Makes it look like you wearing the helmet.
Look for pictures and you will know what i mean.

Imperial City Library.
All books in the game and also lots from previous TES games (I think)

Midas Spells.
Lots of new spells.

Lost Paladin of the Divines.
A quest for a very cool armor.
Should be played at higher levels.

Reneer's Guard Overhaul.
Makes your bounty stay in 1 city.
Guards in Bruma wont know that yoou stole form someone in Bravil etc etc.
Also bounty go down after a while.


Akatosh Mount.
A cool dragon to fly around on.
What else to say?

it depends what type of mods you like they can fall into different category's e.d graphics enhancer, new buildings and lands, quests, companions and there are a lot more

Also do any mods collide, meaning I havge to make a decision on which mod to download.
BTW I'm interested in any type of mod so I don't mind what you suggest
