Jungle for Everyone looks terrific, but I'd be scared it might slow my game to a standstill.

Betty must have quite the computer...lol. The Spring mod is much friendlier... Discovery1 (RIP) was another that made Oblivion look fantastic. All his mods in one... https://www.reddit.com/r/modpiracy/comments/75zhnj/upload_discovery1_oblivion_mods/ A miscommunication with Nexus resulted in the deletion of all his mods from there rather than preserving these wonders. He made stuff like dandelion seeds that would float by...or snow drifts ...clouds...that sort of stuff.

Discovery1's mods certainly sound very interesting. I'll download the file and archive it for later since I'm being cautious about adding mods to my present game install at the moment.

Yes at first I looked at the file size and thought 3.5Mb, - that's nothing much. Then I looked at it again and saw it was 3.5Gb! Good that Oblivion gamers banded together and collected up all of Discovery1's mods so they could remain available because there's more than a few mods that I used when I first started playing Oblivion that have disappeared forever.

Lol, I can't help but think every female in your Cyrodiil is pregnant.

Lol, I can't help but think every female in your Cyrodiil is pregnant. Just the two at the moment...and it happens. Pregnancy is on a long timer...there is no resulting child with this particular set-up. But being pregnant really lowers certain stats. So it's pretty much a stick as opposed to a carrot. My wife is pretty amused I got myself pregnant, however. She avoids all that by being with Vilja...of course.

First I've heard of such a mod, I was accustomed to the "large" ladies in your game but noticed these appeared obviously with child. Doesn't fit my game style but certainly displays the inventiveness of modders.

Doesn't fit my game style but certainly displays the inventiveness of modders. There are a few pregnancy systems. The main one where you pretty much follow real-world rules re: ovulation and such...but the PC/NPC gestates in record time and essentially give birth to an adult. That's annoying to me...right out of the womb and already borrowing the car. So we don't bother with that part...plus it takes-up more slots than I'd want to give in the load order just to get it functioning properly. As for 'large ladies'...we use Set Body which enables many different body types...from skinny to chubby. We play no favorites. Vilja in Oblivion is obviously a bigger lady...or her dialogue makes no sense...so we give her a body to match her 'Stomper' nickname. But my wife's PC is about 98 lbs soaking wet...and a good foot-plus shorter than Vilja. Emma's Children of Oblivion is the obvious go-to if one wanted to adopt a street waif or something along those lines. But those kids cause chaos in our Oblivion with their sticky fingers...they have zero responsibility and that's a problem in our world.

So we don't bother with that part...plus it takes-up more slots than I'd want to give in the load order just to get it functioning properly. Lol, that reminds me of a sitcom about thirty years ago; a woman gives birth at the end of the season, at the start of the next season, while everyone else has aged a few months, the kid is now starting first grade. (Wish my daughter had done that, I thought we were going to need an EPA permit to dispose of her diapers.) And I've always questioned the reasoning behind such a low mod limit; I recall loading over 300 mods in Morrowind with no insurmountable issues. But it's almost an automatic dealbreaker when a mod has too many dependencies on other mods, especially mods I would otherwise not use. Sims 3 was miserable in that respect, I sincerely doubt anyone ever allowed anyone else to use anything they had created in another mod. As for 'large ladies'...we use Set Body which enables many different body types...from skinny to chubby. We play no favorites. Vilja in Oblivion is obviously a bigger lady...or her dialogue makes no sense...so we give her a body to match her 'Stomper' nickname. But my wife's PC is about 98 lbs soaking wet...and a good foot-plus shorter than Vilja. Lol, no value judgements, just commenting on the screenshots you've posted. This was a major failing of Morrowind - one body for all women, one body for all men; load up Better Bodies and all the young ladies were quite shapely, then go in a store and the wrinkled old crone in there was stacked like Raquel Welch. It's almost as bad in Oblivion, but in either sim it would be a major undertaking to custom build each NPC, not to mention having clothing fit each; I don't know how Sims 3 did it but you could create tall, short, plump, scrawny, young, old, sims, and the clothing always fit. I always felt Vilja's comments were the stereotypical ladies' feelings about their appearance; they can be, to use an old expression, drop dead gorgeous and you will still hear, "my thighs are too fat". I had to beat a hasty retreat when a ladyfriend once asked, "Does this skirt make my butt look big?", "No" I responded, then, under my breath, "it looks big without the skirt".

Vilja grew into her big feet...not the other way around. Plus, I don't think many willowy types worry about their "love handles". But, hey...we're a minority over here...90% of the Viljas out there look like one of the Baywatch girls
