    This is the best guide ever created for any game ever made:
    The Oblivion Texture Overhaul

    Particularly the World Textures section with detailed subsections tailored for various vid cards and load order:
    QTP2 Non-Parallax Installation/Activation Order for 512Mb Video Cards
    Qarl's Texture Pack 2
    Skingrad Roof Textures
    Better Tiling Textures 1.11
    Better Tiling LOD Textures (4096)
    Better Night Sky

    QTP2 Non-Parallax Installation/Activation Order for 256Mb Video Cards
    Qarl's Texture Pack 2
    Skingrad Roof Textures
    Better Tiling Textures 1.11
    Qarl Normal Maps Reduced 2.0 (the BTSR package is included in 2.0 version)
    Better Tiling LOD Textures (2048)
    Better Night Sky

    QTP2 Parallax Installation/Activation Order for 512Mb Video Cards
    Qarl's Texture Pack 2
    Better Tiling Textures 1.11
    Parallaxed Qarl Textures 1.0 (includes Skingrad Roof Textures)
    Parallaxed Qarl Textures 1.1 Update (includes normal map fix)
    Better Tiling LOD Textures (4096)
    Better Night Sky

    QTP2 Parallax Installation/Activation for 256Mb Video Cards
    Qarl's Texture Pack 2
    Better Tiling Textures 1.11
    Parallaxed Qarl Textures 1.0 (includes Skingrad Roof Textures)
    Parallaxed Qarl Textures 1.1 Update (includes normal map fix)
    Qarl Normal Maps Reduced 2.0 (changed from Parallax Qarl Reduced Normal Maps 1.1 [jjt] since that file no longer seems to be available -- QNMR2 has the same files, but some duplicates of what's already in Parallaxed Qarl, so it just means the download is a bit larger than it would be if the jjt package were still available)
    Better Tiling LOD Textures (2048)
    Better Night Sky

    This is just the tip of the iceberg. You wont believe what your game looks like after you spend some time here.

    The rest of the site has much more info on various Oblivion topics:
    dev/akm mods

    Have fun!

    I went to TweakGuides and edited the ini file to optimize graphics, such as decreasing grass density so it looks the same but improves performance. I also used many mods and tweaks in the article Dread_2004 linked to (which I also found), which greatly improves the atmosphere. I did notice that the 4096 textures made the land look like crap at a distance, but maybe that was because of all the other tweaks I did. I think I need to reinstall and start fresh anyway. SolarDog's link looks awesome, too, and I might have to do some more modding/tweaking. :D

    The ini tweaks are essential and the Tweakguides one you mentioned is a good one. These world textures fix all the distant land crap if used together and in the correct load order. With those installed this makes the scenery practically flawless. Its very important not to go overboard and install the textures your rig cant handle. There is a solution for just about any mid range and above system tho. Im tellin' ya you will be blown away.

    Yeah, the scenery looks awesome. I especially like having transparent water and additional weather types to add to the atmosphere, along with the Illumination Within mod, which makes buildings look amazing at night.
