Fresh Oblivion install, the must haves?

[ElvenScoundrel]

I just reinstalled Oblivion, no mods, just the DLC. What are the must have mods I have to have, in your opinions?

Your bod(ies)y of choice, Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, MBP++ (etc), Better Cities, Kvatch Rebuilt, Plom's Overhauls, City Life - maybe Enhanced Daedric Invasion, Hoarfrost Castle too. Streamline and OSR for FPS help, then OBGE to kill your FPS again but make everything look pretty

Armors

If you want a lore friendly armor I'd advise getting Waalx Animals & Creatures.

If your looking for great armors for men. Head over to Slof's Hive for a good number of her armor conversions. Also get Apachii's Heroes and Goddess Stores. There are conversions for DMRA bodies that can be found here on L.L.Forums. I use both of these because I like the changes W.A.C. makes to the game and because I like making the CM Partners dress like bitches and my character is there Pimp.
