Updates

Version 3.6.0 is now available! See Posts for release notes of current and previous versions.

Which Version Should You Use?

Out of the box, OR E3 aims for a vanilla plus experience. Therefore many of OR's effects and features are disabled by default. You can still tweak OR until your pants fall off but ironically my target audience leans toward those who want to spend minimal time modding. Some parameters are out of my control and will inevitably need to be tweaked but in large, I want the install and config changes to be as minimal as possible. With that said I tried to develop presets which cover most of the vanilla plus spectrum, check below to see which is best for you:

  • 3.6.0: This is the most vanilla friendly version and aside from some traditional OBGE tweaks (GodRays, Terrain, Water) can be considered vanilla+real time shadows.

  • 3.6.0 Volume Light Preset: Uses everything from the above version but uses Volumetric Light in place of GodRays and adjusts a few night parameters to accommodate low light. This a separate preset due to performance impact and more drastic visual changes of Volumetric Light.

  • 3.6.0 Mcstfuerson Preset: My personal settings which I consider to be a good balance of vanilla feel and updated visuals. Of the 3 versions, this utilizes the most features provided by OR:E3 (but still not all of them). Additionally, uses OR's weather mode to override some of the vanilla weather parameters.

Gameplay and camera overhauls are not a priority of this version. Such things are leftover artifacts from the official Oblivion Reloaded and are not maintained. However, they may still be enabled if desired.

To learn more about the features in OR, see the document included at: /Docs/OblivionReloaded/OblivionReloaded.html . This documentation has been maintained for the OR E3 releases; however, information for the existing features may have already been outdated at the time of the fork.

Compatibility Issues

You will likely experience issues combining OR E3 with: 

  • Enhanced Camera (Use this as a compatible alternative as of 3.3.0)
  • Any eye replacement textures
  • Any window replacement textures
  • Third party overlays (Steam, Discord, etc)

Help and Troubleshooting
