How much of a resource hog is it?

Reply to myself: Open Cities doesn't seem to be taxing the engine any more than the great outdoors already does - and it does feel great to be able to just walk into town without the loading screen, to see the mountains and forests around, to see that there's a world outside the city gates. Definitely worth downloading, this one...

Not to mention being able to ride your horse around town. Finally, a reason to have streets in a city!
Here's one to keep an eye on: (
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=1848) Oblivion PolyGone Overhaul. It's an ongoing project to replace some of the game's models with significantly lower polygon-count replacements in order to squeeze some additional FPS out of the game. I did a quick test with a save game facing a pile of rocks, and turning this mod on gained me a couple of FPS
plus I couldn't see any difference in the visual quality.:thumb:

1. Go to the web page where your mod is located.
2. Click on 'download' or whatever that page uses.
3. A box will usually come up asking you if you want to run the program or save it.
4. Choose to save it on your computer somewhere.
5. When it has downloaded, run the program or open the zip file, depending on what it is.
6a. If it's a program, it will most likely install into the correct directory. You may have to tell it where you have installed Oblivion.
6b. If it's a zip file, unzip the contents of the file into the correct sub-directory in your Oblivion directory. This is nearly always (or perhaps always?) the 'Data' folder.
7. Once that's done, start the Oblivion 'splash screen', select 'Data Files'. Click the box next to the name of your new mod so that an 'x' appears in it.
8. Start Oblivion.
9. Enjoy!
There's another guide (

:( Installed. It doesn't work. I've followed the readme instruction, checked - everything was in place. But after reload I could not get through the main gate of Anvil. Instead of "Main gate" it wrote "Door", but it just would not open.... :(
