oldmanpaco Could you list the mods you are using in addition to FCOM.
Also how hard was it to get them all to play nice together?
I'm at work but here is what I remember:

UI: Darnified UI
Weather/Lighting: Weather: All Natural – This is a combo of 4 lighting/weather mods.

Utilities: BOSS (load order), WryeBash (list merging), OBMM, Slipstream (FPS Manager), OBSE.
I have more installed but cannot remember which ones. I can post the mod load order if anyone cares.
This was the first time I had ever used mods for Oblivion so I made some stupid mistakes. I think I had to restart three times in all and since it can easily take 4-5 hours to get all these installed that kind of sucked. The correct texture installation order is key. One time COBL screwed everything up after I installed the racial rebanacing part. Also half these mods have compatibility patches so they can work with the other half. Oftertimes there there is more than one patch needed. Foruntently the three bigest projects seem to be FCOM, Better Cities, and Unique Landscapes. Almost everything seems to be able to work with these three through patching. The fun part is that those patches are not always on the same page as the mod at the Nexus. BOSS makes it very easy to place the plugins in the correct order though.
So far the only problem I have is that some of the wolves (Prowler Wolves) are just disembodied purple heads. I think these come from OOO so I need to look for the textures/meshes to make sure they did not get overwritten. I think Travelers might have done some damage when I installed it.
Of course I just got started and have not even hit lvl 2 yet so I'm sure other things will be broken here and there.
