Mac, your new settings are stunning too. You got a new(ish) pc too?
I love all details... and the shrubs too.
Congratulation and very glad to see you again... please, don't give up.
...and he looks better than ever! To conquer new frontiers!
Nice to see you're still being around here! Love the 2nd pic and saved it!
....There must be a nirnroot around the corner... ^^
I'm considering restarting Oblivion and testing it.
I have to make room for that first. (Skyrim)(-;
Would you recommend a few mods to make Oblivion more realistic?
As for your question, the answer is yes and no - this time round I stick almost entirely to vanilla and my own textures - with exception of a few staples I can't play without, like Imperial Ecology - vanilla flavour, or Weather - All Natural. Yes, I even skipped Oblivion Character Overhaul in favour of my own face textures and hand picked age maps. The reason for such strict measures is that I want to keep track of my own progress with new ground textures (WIP), farmhouses (unfinished yet), architecture (WIP), Arboretum (WIP), and other stuff - some of which you can find in these images, and around nexus, should you wish so. WIP means that they don't cover every texture of their respective groups yet, but I'm completing them at leisurely pace. Right now I've started sculpting textures in Blender, and for me it's the beginning of a new era. They look totally awesome, even though they take waaaay too much time to make :)
To get yourself started in right direction - at least graphic-wise - you should absolutely begin with Bevilex' guide, and then adjust salt, pepper, and other spices to your taste. Bevi has selected the cream of the cream of current graphic mods for Oblivion. Also, for installing stuff you just must get familiar with basics of Wrye Bash - which is much easier than it seems at first sight.
I hope to see many great TES4 images coming from you. Easy wish, if your other screenies are the thing to go by. :)
As soon as I have time I will restart Oblivion and test your textures and recommendations.
Also, I'm looking forward to seeing something new from you.
(Tracking on!) (-;
Have a nice Weekend.
