Hello TES: IV community,
In the past I have used Mod Organizer 2, with OMM (Oblivion Mod Manager). I have also used utilities like Wrye Bash and LOOT. So I have passed experiencing of installing MODs. I haven't played TES IV: Oblivion for a very long time, but still have a fondness for the aging game. For some reason on Mod Organizer 2, all my MODs now say 'unmanaged'. I was using a portable method in MO2.
Every now and then I check out the latest MODs on Nexus Mods and came across - Blue's Engine Fixes - released 30 Jan 2023. This was a MOD that I have never tried. MODs are changing over time, some MODs stop receiving updates, or better MODs are released. So MOD list guides can become outdated, or MODs maybe no longer available for modern use.
I would like to establish a brand new MOD list, up-to-date for modern times. I need the communities guidance, advice, and support though. I like an enhanced vanilla experience, with additions. Before I just reorganize the same MODs again, I thought it would be nice to ask the community.
I have my old 'unmanaged' MOD list, without load order:
Such MOD lists can become messy and unorganized ever so quickly... my MOD list seems corrupted over time...

If you were to start again a brand new MOD list for a even better vanilla experience, what MODs would you use? For performance, stainability, textures, UI, gameplay, etc. Perhaps you wouldn't use DarNified UI but another? Please help me. Also MOD authours, please use LINK more for MODs - it's such an amazing in-game utility.
