Bought Oblivion GOTY on GOG and I'm looking for mod recommendations, but everywhere I look, there are people recommending textures and shaders and just... too much stuff! 😵😵

I'm fine with the game looking as it does. Really all I want are mods that can fix the following issues with the base game:

* Leveling and enemy scaling

* Stability and bugs for the base game AND Shivering Isles

* Controller support

Can anyone help? I guess I should add that I'm new to PC gaming/modding... I'm a quick learner, but I'd prefer mods that are easy to install/manage.

Thanks!

I decided to try replaying Oblivion after many years and I decided to only use a mod which would restrict the insane amounts of DLC content messing up the game. I decided to use Wyre Bash and I immediately have a few questions:

This was the default load order, but is this really correct? Why is Knights loaded after the Mehrunes Razor and Battlehorn DLCs?

I've also immediately noticed some weirdness from mods. SM Plugin Refurbish Lite keeps adding random spells when I load the game. I have an Absorb Magicka spell even before picking my class and it randomly added a Bound Armor spell too which disappeared after I reloaded the same save.

Looking to script something that can cycle through arrows or scrolls in the player inventory, but would need to know what they actually have to do so.

Do we have any function that scans the inventory and can read owned items?
