1. OBSE
1. Download latest OBSE version
2. Install obese where steam installed oblivion
3. open path in terminal and add type this
>printf '\x90\x90\x90' | dd conv=notrunc of=obse_loader.exe bs=1 seek=$((0x14cb))
>printf 'obse_loader\x00' | dd conv=notrunc of=OblivionLauncher.exe bs=1 seek=$((0x1347c))

OBSE is now installed succesfully
2. Installing the mods manually and location of Documents/MyGames/Oblivion on linux
Only know how to do this manually, basically you install as you normally would by dragging and dropping files where the mod author tells you to put them

1. Install your mods manually
2. To make body mods work install SkyBSA mod
3. Some mods require modifying Oblivion.ini in Documents/MyGames/Oblvivion, you can fin it in
>~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/22330/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games
to modify it open path in terminal and type
>nano Oblivion.ini
works with any .ini file.
3. Activating the .esp's without mod manager
1. Launch Oblivion through steam
2. Click Data Files in oblivion launcher
3. Double click the .esp you want to activate
4. click Ok
4. ENB
1. install protontricks flatpack
2. On application menu select Oblivion
3. Protontricks will warn you that you're using a 64bit wineprefix. Click OK.
4. Winetricks window will come up, saying "choose a wineprefix" click "Select the default wineprefix" and click OK.
5. Click "Install a Windows DLL or component" and click OK.
6. In this list you need to click the following. d3dcompiler_42, d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_47, d3dx9_42, d3dx9_43.
7. Once thats done, click OK. It will download and install libraries off the net. Eventually the window will come up again. Keep clicking cancel till it's gone.
8. Winetricks window will come up again, select open Winecfg
10. Click "Libraries" tab. And type in "New override for library"
type
>d3d9
done, remember to disable bloom and enable hdr so the enb works

@LeBron nah, I like the luxury of an OS that doesn't break everything every other update

yes, this is just in case you can't use mod managers, I struggled with MO2 for some reason. Sometimes it doesn't work on your machine.

step one: don't use linux.

Fwiw if you like mod managers you can also just use MO2 in Oblivion's prefix using Protontricks. Even easier, use SteamTinkerLaunch's MO2 installer.
