2006’s Oblivion brought the previously niche Elder Scrolls franchise into the mainstream. Though it is a great RPG game, Bethesda made some bad design choices and it is rather an old game for 2018. These mods should fix a lot of stuff without causing any crashes and FPS problems and are not gamechanging mods. Also, all of them are easy, so you do not need any prior modding experience.
An epic and huge fantasy world filled with quirky characters, interesting questlines, and a ton of variety in how you wish to play. Although the main story wasn’t all it could’ve been and has since been largely panned, the rest of the game’s content is superb, and the huge variety of mods only make it deeper, richer, and more replayable.
Here we will run down 18 of the best mods you can find for Elder Scrolls Oblivion, to make it an even more amazing game even 12 years later.

2. Character Overhaul (Version 2)

5. Script Extender – OBSE
Like with Bethesda’s other games, there are quite a few restraints on what you can do with the base game script. Many of the mods you’ll be installing, and many of the mods from this list, will require this script extender to work. In layman’s terms, it lets you install more mods and increases the capabilities of the mods you can install. If you’re looking to install any mods that are ambitious in size and scope, you’ll want to install this.

6. Stutter Remover
If you find yourself experiencing some performance issues, namely stutters and an uneven frame rate, see if this mod will fix your problems.

7. Oscuro’s Oblivion Overhaul
In Oblivion, the world around your levels at the same rate as you do, to keep things balanced.

8. Oblivion XP
If you’re not a fan of Oblivion’s unique levelling system, wherein you level in things by simply doing them over and over, this overhaul changes the XP system to more akin to something like World of Warcraft or classic RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, where you earn XP from killing enemies and completing quests. It changes the balance of the game, for sure, but it’s an interesting overhaul that may be appealing if you’re not a huge fan of the default levelling system.

9. Enhanced Camera
The Enhanced Camera mod overhauls the first-person camera mode, making it so you can actually look down at your own body (!!) and making scenes that would normally put you in third-person (like death, or execution animations) stay in first-person.

Cell phones are an integral part of work communication, especially if employees travel on a regular basis. Businesses can reimburse and deduct the full cost of cell phone expenses if the employee uses the cell phone exclusively for business purposes. Otherwise, only a portion of the expense is tax deductible. The cell phone itself is depreciable capital property. This means you can take an allowance for a depreciating cell phone just as you would a business vehicle, building, computer. Can yu deduct cell phones as part of the housing allowance deduction irs. In a 1955 ruling, the IRS concluded that telephone expenses are a utility expense to which a housing allowance can be applied. Letter Ruling A. While this ruling was a private letter ruling that cannot be cited as precedent in other cases, it remains the only instance in which the IRS has addressed the application of housing allowance to telephone expenses. Cell phones, laptops and personal computers fall into a category the IRS calls “listed property.” There are strict rules on how to document business use of these items (as distinguished from personal use). You can find more information on the subject of “listed property” in the IRS Code, Section 280F. You can qualify for a cell phone tax deduction from cell phone charges incurred when the mobile phone is being used exclusively for business. There is not an IRS cell phone deduction for self employed people, exclusively. However, you can also deduct additional business expenses that you incur.
