Here is how to make the game enjoyable, at least for a while:

Do you not like that level-scaling shite? Should not rats be like gods if you are? Huh?

If you're one of those old school fucks who like to get xp for everything worthwhile, get this (get it here):
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/V ... ods.Detail
Added performance when fighting multiple four-legged creatures (I had trouble with that, until I tweaked multithreading and RAM stuff, dunno which helped, prob the former, but I'm sure this mod won't hurt either):
http://www.obliviontweaks.com/mods/quietfeet.zip
Multithreading tweaks (if you have a multi/dual core processor):
Memory tweaks.
If someone cares, I'm not using Francesco's more enemies (more spawns; I'm using the added variety, however). I'm not using the extended adventurers mod either. I'm playing with 100% difficulty. I can't recommend doing that, but if you have the patience to get through the rats in the tutorial (with a fighter), you're probably a little bit insane and have the patience to get through anything later on. A very minor spoiler ahead. The worst that can happen is probably that you manage to (somehow) escape the Crusader's tomb alive with the magical helmet, realize you can't fast travel yet because there are enemies nearby (maybe something is chasing you), set out to travel to the nearest town (in mild panic), and get killed on the way by ... you don't really know who or what, but you forgot to save in the hurry.

This mod removes the extremly annoying quest pop ups. You know, the one's telling you exactly what you have to do, like an ingame walkthrough. Thanks to these pop ups, even somebody with an IQ below room temperature can finish this game, but for people who would like to think by themselves, and don't want to have everything spoiled, these pop ups are a nightmare.
Apart from the pop ups, nothing changed. If you have problems with a quest (or haven't played for a while) you can still get the information from the quest journal and use the red arrow. But now you can choose by yourself, whether you need help or not.

If your performance goes close to zero in battles, you should try this mod. All it does is to remove the sounds played when a four legged creature (eg. horse, wolves) is walking. This seems to be serious work for the computer, especially with onboard sound cards. Since walking sounds are hardly noticeable during battles, I highly recommend this mod if you have this problem.
Multithreading tweaks (if you have a multi/dual core processor):
Multithreading Tweaks:
Tweak the Oblivion.ini (the one in My Games, etc.....)
bUseThreadedBlood=1
bUseThreadedMorpher=1
bUseThreadedTempEffects=1
bUseThreadedParticleSystem=1
bUseMultiThreadedTrees=1
bUseMultiThreadedFaceGen=1
iNumHavokThreads=5
iThreads=9
iOpenMPLevel=10
