My Top 5 Oblivion Mods

Alright well, we all know The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is an awesome game, but you have to admit, after you’ve beaten the game and done all the side quests and whatever else you can only raid the same dungeons a couple (hundred) times before you start getting bored. So that’s why I’ve assembled this all star list of mods, that I have found to have slightly increased the time I’ve enjoyed the game. PLUS I’ve even googled up all the links to download these mods! Enjoy!

Cheydinhal Pet shop

Well this one definitely lives up to its name. This mod actually adds a pet shop just outside Cheydinhal where you can buy, pandas, dogs, tigers, and even mudcrabs. These pets level up along with you, and actually become quite powerful. Plus if your pet bites the dust, you can buy one of the pet first aid kits and fix him/her/it right up. Definitely a must have for animal lovers.

Zealots of the Nine

This neat little mod adds a new house to Cheydinhal, as well as a niftly little quest to go with it. Plus, if you beat the quest you get to keep the house. Hooray! Too bad there aren’t any voiceovers for the quest.

Castle Domrose

Okay so this is pretty neat. This mod adds a CASTLE to the game, that you can actually purchase. The castle comes with a smith, a guard, and a whole bunch of other people. But it costs 100,000 gold. Start saving!

Mercenaries

Ever wish you didn’t have to go into those big fiery oblivion gates all alone, or perhaps now, with just your animal companion? Well fear no more, this mod allows you to hire yourself a small army of mercenaries from places like the fighters guild, mages guild, and even the bloated float (after you complete the quest that goes with it). Oblivion doesn’t stand a chance.

Playable Dremora

Okay well, I don’t actually use this mod much, but I thought it was so cool I had to mention it. So pretty much what this does is make your demonic enemies, the dremora, a race you can actually select to play as. They are good with heavy armor.
