Player Lights mod

I made a mod for Oblivion. It's a tiny thing that changes the color of some lights the player can carry around. Particularly, I didn't care for the greenish hue the developers of Oblivion chose for the light spells and items in the game. So, I made it white (and a bit blue).

Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls is one of my favorite game series, even though I've only played the 3rd (and now 4th) games in the series. Morrowind has a huge, open world with nearly infinite expandability from mods. It's a fun game to play even now, a few years after its release. The latest installment is Oblivion, the 4th game in the series. It's a monstrous game, filling a DVD with its content, and with some of the best graphics in a game to date.

Take a look at my character thus far. This screenshot would probably be better on a high-end computer, but I just have my laptop, which doesn't even meet the recommended requirements for the game. You need a modern machine to play this, but the graphics are amazing.

The best part is the modding. There are already over 350 mods for the game, which has been out about 2 weeks. I'm running 10 of them right now, including a simple one I made myself on a whim. I hope to see a lot of enhancements over the next few months.
