Oblivion Race Balancing Project
0908
Question for players who use or have experimented with the Race Balancing Project mod: I'm running Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, Mart's Monster Mod, Natural Faces, HG Eye Candy bodies-I think those are the only mods that deal specifically with races, but I might be forgetting something. For The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Race Balancing Project Help'.
Race Balancing Project 10 by bg2408 is the premiere mod for creating a character in Tes4 Oblivion.

Listed here are commonly used acronyms for Oblivion mods and modding tools. Rules for adding content:
- The page is designed for players who are likely to be confused by an acronym that they've run across in the forums. If such confusion is not likely, or if expanding the acronym doesn't reduce confusion, then don't add the term.
- Acronyms only. Terminology should be defined on the Glossary page. Or if more technical (useful to modders only) on the Glossary at TESCS Wiki.
- Only list acronyms that are actually commonly used. (I.e. don't acronymize your favorite mod and post it here as advertising.)
- Don't use evaluative terms like 'popular'. If it's not reasonably popular, then it shouldn't be here.
- Sort alphabetically (by acronym, not by full name).
- Keep descriptions short (one or two short sentences in almost all cases).
