    Hi guys,

    I bought Oblivion way back when it first came out and played it for a couple weeks. After that, I started having trouble with my Compaq laptop I had at the time. When I got my new machine I never did reload it even though I enjoyed it when I played it. Now I have yet another new notebook and was itching to install and play it again. My question is, since it's release, have there been any "must have" updates or patches that flesh it out or improve performance? I'm really referring to official patches or updates here and not mods so much, however if a certain mod really improves the original gameplay, I'd be for it.

    Thanks,

    You should always install the latest patch.

    Ok, I guess it was kind of a silly question :) I suppose I was thinking there might be several patches out now and did I need to install them sequentially or just the most recent. I'll install and point it to the newest update and install, I'm sure all will go well.
    Thanks,

    tessmage.com hosts some wonderful "Better Body" type mods. Two custom built characters, an added race (mystic elf), and a bunch of stuff.

    Uhm, when going to the site, be advised that there are a lot of pics of nude mods. So you see boobies on the home page, and downloads page (which is where you want to head). Tess ain't a perv though, so far as I can discern, just feels that women are more "empowering" in the buff. Whatever. Not my thing, but even I gotta admit, he's the best damn nude modder I've ever seen.
