<h1>Mods to Avoid</h1>
<blockquote>
This list is far from comprehensive. There are still tons of mods not listed here that will break your game. This is why it is very important to have some modding knowledge before adding any mods.
<br>
Always view every mod you install with <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/11536" target="_blank">TES4Edit</a> to check for conflicts.
</blockquote>
<!-- Oversized Textures -->
<p>
<strong>Oversized textures</strong>
<br>
Based on the object size and how the texture is wrapped around it, you should pick textures with a reasonable resolution and avoid the very big ones also based on your display resolution. Keep in mind that the textures will not be displayed with their full resolution at all times, in fact they will be scaled down because of <a href="https://imgsli.com/MTMwNjU2" target="" _blank>mipmaps</a> based on distance and other factors, as shown with these sliders. Just for reference, a maximum of 2K at 1080p is a pretty safe bet in terms of balance.
</p>
<!-- AI Upscales -->
<p>
<strong>AI-upscaled texture packs</strong>
<br>
Mods upscaled with AI or other lazy techniques generally are not worth the higher VRAM usage, a notable exception is <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/52977" target="_blank">Oblivion Upscaled Textures BSA.</a>
</p>
<!-- Timescale -->
<p>
<strong>Any mods that edit timescale</strong>
<br>
Vanilla AI packages and scripts are based on the vanilla timescale, and can break and/or run when they aren't supposed to if the timescale is changed.
</p>
<!-- YouTubers -->
<p>
<strong>YouTubers to Avoid</strong>
<br>
The assumption with all these is that they simply don't know anything about proper modding and lead users to broken setups, while often making them pay money for it.
<ul>
<li><b>Sinitar</b>, if you have a few hours and want more information about Sinitar's lies, scamming and lack of modding knowledge, check out <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F1-6lF8dI4i2Zz8iT-bv_Ci1VO9MSU4MiSUrT5JqgHA/edit" target="_blank">this</a> <i>twenty-eight</i> page essay that goes into excruciating detail about it.</li>
<li><b>PredCaliber</b>.</li>
<li><b>DerekDiablo</b>.</li>
<li><b>ESO</b>, also runs an online store for pre-built computers with insane prices and questionable part choices.</li>
<li><b>GamerPoets</b>, most videos are misinformed (reason why they were recently marked as such in bulk). Proved to have a bad attitude towards feedback by hiding comments that correct him and then announcing to his Discord server how proper information isn't really the focus of the videos.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<!-- ENBoost -->
<p>
<strong>ENBoost</strong>
<br>
ENBoost works around an issue (which ORC already fixes properly) with a hacky memory sharing across processes. It also requires configuration based on the user's system and much like ENB, has been abandoned.
</p>
<!-- ENB -->
<p>
<strong>ENB</strong>
<br>
As mentioned earlier with ENBoost, ENBs were never fully developed for Oblivion and have been abandoned by the author. They have a ton of bugs and performance issues, such as broken anti-aliasing, transparent objects and glowing objects. They also use a lot of <a href="https://imgur.com/a/8UT356J" target="_blank">vision-obscuring effects</a> like depth of field, lens flares, bloom and chromatic aberration to obscure the broken anti-aliasing, which makes them very hard to play with.
</p>
<!-- Nouveau Uncut & CRL -->
<p>
<strong>Nouveau Uncut/Cyrodill Re-Loaded</strong>
<br>
Buggy, hard to patch and badly optimized. Use <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45909" target="_blank">Oblivion Content Restoration Project</a> instead.
</p>
<!-- Pluggy -->
<p>
<strong>Pluggy</strong>
<br>
Lowers performance due to being written in Pascal.
</p>
<!-- Streamline -->
<p>
<strong>Streamline</strong>
<br>
Extremely outdated.
</p>
<!-- The Living And The Dead -->
<p>
<strong>The Living And The Dead</strong>
<br>
Bad compatibility and feature creeped.
</p>
<!-- Better DB Sanctuary -->
<p>
<strong>Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary</strong>
<br>
Bad performance.
</p>
<!-- Realistic Leveling -->
<p>
<strong>Realistic Leveling</strong>
<br>
Replaced by <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/49134" target="_blank">Ultimate Leveling</a>.
</p>
<!-- FCOM -->
<p>
<strong>FCOM</strong>
<br>
Old, unstable, performance heavy and bloated.
