About Mythic Dawn [edit]

Mythic Dawn was created by Hishutup and Soire (Red). It was updated in 2015 by Synthetik.

Oblivion is very much a dated game that is 15 years old now. This guide will help make Oblivion look as good as possible while maintaining a setup that adds to gameplay, stability, and re-playability. This guide's goal was to account for everyone, this includes users that only want a "fixed" game that includes improvements/fixes and also to account for users that want to see how many extras mods can offer to their game. With that in mind, Oblivion is old enough that the Game of the Year Edition or the base game with all DLC is required. This guide will use Wrye Bash as its main mod manager and LOOT as the main sorting tool.

If you would like to provide feedback or make suggestions relating to the guide, use this forum thread.
If you have issues or problems and need support for the guide, ask via this forum thread on the STEP Community forums.

NOTE

It is particularly important that users READ EACH SECTION CAREFULLY in order to be successful with the Mythic Dawn setup first time around, as no information included in this guide is irrelevant!

System Requirements [edit]

We recommend the following hardware configuration for running Mythic Dawn. The minimum requirements should be sufficient for installing the Core mods. For those wishing to use high quality options and/or to install the Extended mods, be advised that a more powerful system is likely necessary.

It should be noted that this guide is incompatible with SLI/Crossfire configurations and if you are a multi-card user you should create a custom graphics profile and disable SLI/Crossfire for this guide.
Please note that the higher the clock speed, the better the performance. Oblivion is very CPU dependent. On my old AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.6 GHz, I used to get near the teens in terms of framerate with only Better Cities. Now with a Intel 6700k I get a perfect 60 fps. Another thing I found is that GPU doesn't matter with any modern card.

Hardware Minimum Recommended
Windows OS Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 Bit)
CPU Intel Core i5 2500K / AMD (unsupported due to performance) Intel Core i5 6600K
System RAM 4 GB ≥8 GB
GPU 512MB VRAM ≥2GB VRAM

How is this Guide Modular? [edit]

Currently Mythic Dawn is built around a modular installation.

  • All mods should be considered required unless otherwise noted.
  • Mods marked as "Optional" are up to the user as they may or may not be for everyone.
  • When a mod is marked as "Extra" should be carefully looked over to see if its something for you as they may cause issues with other mods or have extra patches that need to be carefully examined.
  • Please don't use any mod marked as "Omitted" because the only reason its there is to remind me.

Installation Setup [edit]

If You Have Modded Oblivion Before.. [edit]

This guide assumes that the user is beginning with a clean Oblivion installation. If you already have the game installed or have modded Oblivion before please follow the instructions below.

The following will remove everything, meaning: games files, installed mods, game saves, etc. If you wish to back up your mods, game files or saves then do so now.

  1. Back up locations:
    • "steamapps/common/Oblivion"
    • "My Games/Oblivion"
    • "%AppData%/../Local/Oblivion"
  2. Deactivate all mods using your choice of mod manager.
  3. Open Steam, right-click Oblivion in your Library → Delete Local Content → Delete. Wait until the game has been uninstalled.
  4. Browse to your Oblivion directory and delete all files and sub-directories.
  5. Navigate to "%AppData%/../Local/Oblivion" and delete the Oblivion folder.
  6. Go to
    • "My Games/Oblivion"
    • Delete the Oblivion folder. It will be regenerated later.
  7. Uninstall your previous Mod Manager(s).
  8. If you did use Wrye Bash, navigate to
    • "<Steam>/SteamApps/Common"
  9. Find the folder Oblivion Mods. Backup first if you want to, then delete.
  10. If you did use any other mod manager, find and delete (and backup) their mod directories.

Installing Oblivion [edit]

Simply launch "setup.exe" if using a disc, or right-click Oblivion in Steam and select install.

It is recommended to install Oblivion to an SSD if available, and preferably separate from the drive with Windows. Oblivion should be installed outside of "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders as Windows User Account Control can cause issues with Oblivion.

If you need help, here is a video.

Backing Up Oblivion [edit]

After installing Oblivion I highly suggest backing up the vanilla files for future use. Copying the folders in the following locations to a folder such as "Oblivion Backup" should ensure you have access to your vanilla files. If you would like to reduce the size of your backup, using Windows, 7-Zip, or WinRAR to compress your backup files should free up some space.

Back up locations:

  • "<Oblivion>"
  • "<My Games>/Oblivion"
  • "<YourUserName>/AppData/Local/Oblivion"

Archiving the Data Folder [edit]

It is required that you archive the Data folder. This is going to be used in Wrye Bash as the first mod. I believe this will help with some of the glaring issues when uninstalling mods.

To archive your Data folder with Windows:

  • Navigate to your Oblivion Data install folder
  • Select any file/folder that is not an "*.BSA"
  • Right-Click and select "Add to Data.7z"

Add Files To 7z From Shell.png

  • Wait for the folder to finish being compressed, which may take a few minutes
  • Move the Archive out of your install directory to somewhere such as your desktop as it will be used later.

Other Important Details [edit]

  • Users should change Windows folder options so that they can see file extensions on known file types as well as showing hidden files and folders.
  • Users should disable Steam overlay and synchronization.

Setting up Oblivion's INI Files [edit]

Setting up Oblivion via launcher [edit]

  • Select Ultra high presets
  • It is recommended to change the resolution to your native resolution, fullscreen, Vsync.
  • HDR is required for TES4LODGen, AA will be adding in by Oblivion Reloaded
  • It is also recommended to start the game and make any necessary changes in the options so that the inis can be archived for backup.

Tools [edit]

LOOT [edit]
  • Author: WrinklyNinja
  • Version: v0.8.1
  • Description: LOOT is helping with setting up the right load order for your mods plus provides helpful information about various plugins.
  • Download: "LOOT.Installer.exe"
  • Installation: Run the installer normally.
  • Notes: When running LOOT 0.8.1 you're told that there's an update to it of 0.9.1, but as of this time that update gives an error when sorting mods that it cannot read the mods, which has since been fixed in a snapshot at bintray and will make it in to version 0.9.2 in due course. Recommendation at this stage is to remain with version 0.8.1 until 0.9.2 has been reached.

If you need help here is a video on LOOT.

Wrye Bash [edit]
  • Author: Wrye Bash Team
  • Version: 306
  • Description: Wrye Bash (WB) is at this time the main Mod Manager used for this guide. Even for Skyrim and the Fallout Series Wrye Bash is used for it's ability to generate a Bashed Patch based on your load order. For more info refer to the Readme.
  • Notes: The link redirects to the Wrye Bash on the Skyrim version of the Nexus. If you need more info on Wrye Bash here is a Guide Link.
  • Download: "Wrye Bash 306 - Standalone Executable"
  • Installation: Drag the "Mopy" folder to the Oblivion folder and uncheck the "Lock Load Order" from the topbar.
It may be helpful if you add markers in Wrye Bash [edit]

It can get pretty chaotic because of the length of the guide so I would recommend that you add the markers in Wrye Bash when prompted to do so throughout the guide.
You can do this by right-clicking on the header bar at the top and selecting "Add Marker".

I would also recommend restarting Wrye Bash often [edit]

This is be because Wrye Bash saves the Installers placement, markers and what you had installed/uninstalled when the application is properly closed. This means to restart it before rebuilding the Bashed Patch and/or restarting after adding, installing, removing, and changing mods.

TES4LODGen [edit]
  • Author: ElminsterAU
  • Version: 3.1.1
  • Description:
  • What is LOD/VWD?
LOD (.lod) data files are necessary to view landscapes that are distant in the middle-ground or background. These are different than the static objects you see from far – also
known as 'Visible while Distant' objects (VWD). Not all mod (replacer) packages do provide all necessary files related to LOD/VWD and therefor the player runs into
strange views. Or bugs.
LOD is built on the basis of quadrants of four adjoining blocks of 32x32 cells. Now, as landscape mods and such changing exterior cells are added, these quadrants realign
themselves. Further they depend highly on loadorder and the heightmap used in each cell. However technical all this sounds, this results in the necessity to rebuild LOD
every time a mod is added, removed or changed in both loadorder and installation order that affects these quadrants – like for example 'Qarls Texture Pack' or 'RAEVWD'. The
tools for this are known as 'LOD Generators'.
  • Notes: TES4LODgen MUST be ran every time load order changes, also if you change something in your Installers tab that affects related LOD files. This includes that one tiny file called 'bashed patch' at the very end. If you fail to do this, your game wont crash nor will your savegames be destroyed but distant meshes will be strange, out of line or simply not appear.
  • Download: "TES4LODGen_3_1_1"
Landscape LOD generator tes4ll-v5 [edit]
  • Author: Gruftikus and Lightwave
  • Version: 5.03
  • Forum Link
  • Notes: Running will take place at the end of the guide. After you have completed this guide, this should be ran every time you install or uninstall a landscape mod. Be sure to install the MPGUI below.
  • Download: "Landscape LOD generator 5_03"
  • Installation:

Install the files into the data folder except for the bat files

Multi Purpose GUI [edit]
  • Author: Gruftikus
  • Version: 1.22
  • Forum Link
  • Notes: This program is used to run the GUI for Tes4ll.
  • Download: "mpgui_1_22"
  • Installation:

mpgui_1_22

  • Run the MPGUI-Setup.msi file and install it normally except when it asks to install batch file templates, uncheck the option.
OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender) [edit]
  • Author: Ian Patterson, Stephen Abel, Paul Connelly
  • Version: 0021
  • Notes: OBSE is mandatory for this guide. For Steam version, launch Oblivion using the Steam client. For any other version use the obse_loader.exe to launch. You do not need to use obse_loader.exe under normal circumstances.
    If OBSE is not running, most mods that require OBSE will bring up a dialogue box saying "OBSE is not working". If that's the case, check if you have enabled 'Steam overlay while ingame'.
  • Installation:
  • Download: "obse_0021" and the "Latest Loader"
TES4Edit [edit]
  • Author: ElminsterAU
  • Version: 3.1.1
  • Description: This tool is primary used for cleaning the official DLC's and mods. However, it's also a powerful utility with various other functions such as merged patches and reordering masters.
  • Notes: For more information, download the FNEdit PDF-Files (applicable to TES4Edit) here.
  • Download: "TES4Edit_3_1_1"
  • Installation:

Unpack the archive somewhere for use in the near future.

ENBoost [edit]
  • Author: Boris
  • Version: 0.259
  • Description: Provides an 3D graphics performance and reduces amount of memory used so that more mods can be installed.
  • Installation:

Extract the wrapper version to the "Oblivion" folder.

"enblocal.ini" [edit] 
          [MEMORY]          ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false          ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true          DisableDriverMemoryManager=false          DisablePreloadToVRAM=false          EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false          ReservedMemorySizeMb=64          VideoMemorySizeMb=0          ;Use this tool to get the correct value for the parameter above          EnableCompression=true

Remap the Free VRAM key to a different unused key 

          [INPUT]          KeyFreeVRAM=121
MoreHeap [edit]
  • Author: shadeMe
  • Version: 1.1
  • Description: Starts the game with a larger footprint of memory, allowing the game to run for longer without resulting in impolite CTD behavior.

Installation:

Place the "Version.dll" in the root folder, where "Oblivion.exe" is located
Create a new text file in the same directory and name it "MoreHeap.ini", and do change the type of file.
Open it up in any text editor and copy/paste the info below.

          [Editor::MemAlloc]          DefaultHeapSize=512          [Runtime::MemAlloc]          DefaultHeapSize=512

Note: I am not 100% solid on this heap size.

Before Starting to Mod [edit]

Setting up Wrye Bash [edit]

  • Start up Wrye Bash and select the Installers tab and accept on the dialogue box.
  • Open the context menu on the top bar and confirm that "BSA Redirection" is ticked

Adding Oblivion's Base Game Files [edit]

  • Drag the previously made Oblivion Data folder archive into the Installers window and select Copy.
  • After the file is done copying, move it to the top of the install order and install it.
  • The red plus box will turn into a green plus.

Cleaning the DLC [edit]

This is a required step and should be done regardless of whether you are going to follow this guide or if you are even going to mod your game. Cleaning DLC .esp's and certain mods is critical for creating a stable modded game environment.

Info-Logo.png

NOTE:

Only clean one mod at a time. This can be done by selecting the one mod you are going to clean, all needed masters will be loaded.


If you are NOT familiar with cleaning, click me.
Note: Some mods have "UDR(s)" or "ITM(s)" but must not be cleaned. Follow BOSS report unless other wise described for a particular mod.

  • Reminders are going to be located after the installation description of mods that do need cleaning.


Here is the DLC that you should clean now. xEdit Cleaning Required
Knights.esp
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCSpellTomes.esp
DLCVileLair.esp
DLCThievesDen.esp
DLCHorseArmor.esp
DLCBattlehornCastle.esp
DLCOrrey.esp
DLCMehrunesRazor.esp

Add Cleaned Mods to Wrye Bash [edit]

I highly recommend you do this every time you clean a set of plugins.

  • You can either create a project inside Wrye Bash's installers and then copy the cleaned esms to it or you can just archive the cleaned esms and then copy or move the archive into Wrye Bash.
  • Move the installer package to be after the vanilla package.

OBSE Mods [edit]

OBSE plugins allow mods to interact in different ways with the game using extended scripting abilities.

Create a Marker [edit]

I recommend that you add a marker in Wrye Bash called "OBSE Mods"

The process of updating an Oblivion Reloaded ini file, if you want the change to be a permanent part of the installation, is:

  1. In Wrye Bash, double-click on the Oblivion Reloaded ini's project to open up the folder
  2. Navigate to the desired ini file
  3. Right-click on the ini file and open it with Notepad++ or other comparable text editor

INI Tweaks [edit]

You can find your .ini file in "/Documents/My Games/Oblivion".

I would recommend NOT using Wrye Bash to make the edits because Wrye Bash does not use carriage returns, making future editing very difficult. The best method of editing your .ini file is with Notepad++.

Oblivion.ini [edit]

Each of the following entries can be pasted directly into the INI. The entry descriptions are commented, so they will not be interpreted by the game at startup. Alternatively, these descriptions can be omitted. Descriptions are only provided on tweaks that needed explaining. There are too many tweaks to list what each one does, but know that all are required.

Warning-Logo.png

WARNING:

After adding these tweaks, changing settings in the Oblivion Launcher can undo user-configured INI tweaks. To avoid 'unapproved' alterations to the INI file, set Oblivion.ini as "read only" after all the tweaks are in place.

Anti-Aliasing [edit]

I would recommend enabling MSAA through your drivers and not through Oblivion's internal one. This is to avoid the 1 pixel line on the first column on the left.
If you are able to get SMAA to work that is a possible alternative. One bad effect SMAA has is that the image will be overly bright and washed out which is due to Steam overlay being enabled.

Note: Using both MSAA and HDR will not work unless you have Oblivion Reloaded

Qarls TP3 for NMM [edit]
  • Author: Qarl
  • Version: 1.3
  • Description:

The purpose of this package is to make TES IV: Oblivion look even better than when you bought it. To do this I've created new textures, normal maps, specular and parallax maps to replace a large number of those in the game with ones which are higher resolution and more photo realistic, while at the same time still very close to the original feel of Bethesda's intentions.

— Qarl

  • Notes: For reference: this is a Bain-friendly repack of QTP3 including Update 1.3 found here.
  • Download: "Quarl's Texture Pack III for NMM"

WIP

The rest of the guide will come as I get the time to get a section updated. My plan is vastly different for low maintenance(hopefully), easy to read(colorblindness is a thing), quality over quantity(I suck at this because I went through a phase) and hopefully get another spinoff for Pretty Much Vanilla Oblivion which is going to be the guide I will likely play through with to get a baseline on oblivion today.

I also noticed this, which will be useful after it matures for a few more weeks/months
