Since I've been playing Oblivion recently after a long time away I'm now checking out all the good mods that I've missed. So, here's a special look at an incredible mod that makes Oblivion really beautiful.

WARNING: You may need quite a decent computer to run all this.

ANY PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION OR USE OF THIS MOD: Please post on the tesnexus.com forums for help rather than commenting here. Thank you!

Also used in this video are RAEVWD (Really Almost Everything Viisible When Distant), QTP3 1.3 (Qarls Texture Pack 3 1.3), Bananasplit Better Cities and Let the People Drink.

Edit: Some screenshots at 1920x1200 at a FOV of 90 and everything turned up to max. FPS counter is visible to see heavy fps impact (my system specs are at the end of this description). The main FPS drain is 'Better Cities' though, the huge amount of clutter is the real culprit instead of OBGE.:
