In the theme of the [url="http://gamebanshee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21601"]Morrowind Yellow Pages[/url], post links to helpful Oblivion sites Here.
[quote="Kameleon@The Morrowind Yellow Pages]I've decided to write this for several reasons. The first is because it will hopefully be a resource that people"]
I'll start with [url="elderscrolls.com"]elderscrolls.com[/url], the official site, and [url=til.gamingsource.net]The Imperial Library[/url].

I would ask that everybody remember this is a thread for links to useful Oblivion sites. It is not for asking questions. Use regular threads, for that. All questions and answers will be mutilated, eviscerated, defenestrated, and then obliterated by yours truly.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Has a TON of information on it, loved the site when I first saw it.

For people that don't have the 'good' graphics for the game, but know they have a semi decent one, this should help. It loweres the graphics step by step with you to make the game run faster.

Here is a link to IGN, all around information about gameplay. If you're stuck somewhere, this will probably help you out; http://faqs.ign.com/objects/702/702493.html
The site is not finished, as is understandable.
And He whispered to me in the darkness as we lay together, Tell Me where to touch you so that I can drive you insane; tell Me where to touch you to give you ultimate pleasure, tell Me where to touch you so that we will truly own each other. And I kissed Him softly and whispered back, Touch my mind.
Here's an excellent performance tuning guide by Atomizer, the guy who created the mod enabling below spec machines to run Oblivion. Highly recommended read: deals with improving visuals (substantial increases) and performance tweaks, with a mod section coming up soon.
Find it [url="http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?SCID=27&CIID=36546&p=1"]here.[/url]
Update: He's now released part 3: [url="http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?CIID=36919"]Modblivion[/url]. Worth a read to get started in the very fast moving mod scene
"I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"
And to make it easies the builds are in the downloads section, the .ini files are found here.

Considering some people have had difficulties installing the Horse Armor mod, and these appeared on the 32-bit system (not the 64-bit one where so far they cannot work), in form of either giving an error like there was an attempt to install them on the 64-bit system (even though it is a 32 one), or freezing the installation, I'll post a summery of what was found as solutions to these problems:
If indeed you have a 32 bit system try one of these to fix the issues:
1-In Windows XP if you don't want to (or know how to) boot into safe-mode but need to be Administrator to run a program, "Right-Click" on the .exe "Oblivion_Horse_Armor_Pack.exe" then select "Run as..."
2-Instead of selecting "Current user (COMPUTERNAME\UserName) choose "The following user:" and select "Administrator" from the drop-down list of users.
3-You will need to know the Administrator's password for the computer, however most computers purchased from a store will have a blank password (unless you changed it yourself)
OR:
1-Reboot in safe mode with networking.
2-Log in administrator account.
3-Install the package.
OR:
1-Hit Start, Run, type msconfig.
2-Select Boot.INI tab and select safeboot and check networking. Hit ok and reboot.
3-Login under Administrator account and hit ok. Then run the installer, finish install and go back into msconfig and unselect safeboot.
4-Reboot

I don't know about these so called easter eggs but for quest help and general tips I would go to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion(it's still a work in progress).

I just came across [url="http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Oblivion_Mods_FAQ#Where_can_I_find_good_mods.3F"]this site[/url]..
It provides links to numerous mod lists as well as providing a lot of really useful information, such as installing mods or using OMOD.

I just came across an up-to-date, comprehensive list for male armours (designed for Robert's Male Body Replacer). Given that male clothing and armour mods are far more scarce than the female equivalent, I decided to post it here: Robert's Male Body List
Fantasy Figures, much like Robert's Female Body is a beautifully done female body mod with fairly realistic proportions. It too lacks support, unfortunately. After much scouring I have found the following links:
I just found a really excellent guide to mod use, from unearthing mods to installing to playing.. with lots of very clear instructions on how to deal with the technical headaches:

I know someone already listed a single page from this site, and this thread is rather old; but as an avid Oblivion player I feel the need to point out that the [url="http://uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion"]Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages[/url] (that link is specifically for Oblivion) contains everything you could possibly need to know about Oblivion. Quests, NPCs, Items, Easter Eggs, Spells, Character Creation, Skill Boosts, Modding, things for specifically console or specifically PC, Creatures, Maps, Trainers, etc etc. Quite literally, everything.
(It also contains all information for all previous TES games as well.)
