Thief and Oblivion
Terry Pratchett
I've been play Oblivion on and off for about a month. I've seen some
mod to make it more like Thief. Can anyone recommend some from personal
experience (hopefully ones that don't mean starting again)?
It's a great game ...except that the foes seem to get tougher to keep up
with you...

There are mods that introduces a blackjack and/or other Thief elements
to the game, but there won't be a mod that does the real trick: real
deep Thief shadows. Anyway, there's already innumerable websites
hosting Oblivion mods. Just google the Thief element you'd like with
Oblivion and you should get what you want in a heartbeat.

Yes, it's designed so that most NPC's increase in level as you do.
There are mods that change that too. One, which name escapes me AtM,
varies the NPC levels so you don't really know if it's a level 5
bugger or level 50 badass you're fighting until, well, you're fighting
him.

Terry, check out this thread at TTLG:
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105373 and scroll down to Thief
Targeted Mods. I'm using the Blackjack mod, Attack and Hide mod, Bounty
Reduction Over Time, No Psychic Guards, Movable Bodies and TurnOffLights at
the moment. None of those required a restart. At least I haven't
restarted, and the game works fine.
Also there's an extensive Wiki on Oblivion Mods at

Yeah, there's a bit of a problem with the way leveling has been implemented
in Oblivion. There are mods to fix that, but they may require restarting.
I haven't bothered doing that. A simple solution is to drag down the
difficulty slider if going gets too tough, then drag it up when you feel
comfortably strong again. I did, when I got tired to all of the sudden
getting nearly beaten by wimpy monsters that I used to be able to handle
with ease at a lower level.
