Nehrim Sound and Graphics Mods

When I started working on this, the guides for Oblivion targeted at graphics were either general guides that mentioned graphics, or really outdated. While this guide is focused on Nehrim, it can be used with Oblivion perfectly fine (excluding things made specifically for Nehrim), though I'd suggest also taking a look at Knot's Guide for some great alternatives that can only be used in Oblivion. This guide also doesn't mention gameplay mods, but for a good list of mods that either work with or are made for Nehrim, head over to the Nehrim and Mods thread on the Bethesda Softworks forums.

Everything here can be installed however you choose, but you'll need Wrye Bash to make All Natural run 100% correctly. You should also be using the 4GB Patch with your game (simple as installing and using it on oblivion.exe). If you're following this guide step-by-step, remember to overwrite when asked. If not then just pick and choose what you want to play with.

Last important note, when you're done modding the game remember to actually play it for a while.
