The Construction Set (Oblivion) is designed for the player to edit and create new content in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The CS (Construction Set) can both be a basic and advanced tool, depending on what you plan to do. With it, you can do anything, from creating your own dimension, dungeon, or even city to adding a new NPC or house. You can totally revamp the game, with or without help. If you have the computer editing know-how, then feel free to create a new race, new bodies (such as body adjusters for fitness, bust, legs, height etc), classes and Birthsigns. Make the Imperial City become more modern, end a city such as Anvil, recreate Morrowind - you could even change the Main Quest so as it suits you!
Tips[]
One thing you must be very careful about is the use of a dirty mod. This is a mod which conflicts with another mod. (Obviously, if you don't plan on downloading other mods, or uploading your own, this shouldn't be a problem) For example, if a mod has nudged a rock or torch accidentally, or even on purpose, and a second mod has moved the rock or torch in a different way, these mods will conflict, and the modded game will not work. This is also very important to remember when making and uploading mods for others to use.
Examples[]
One good example of the powers of the construction set is the mod, called Nehrim: At Fate's Edge. This particular mod has been in development for four years and completely revamps the game. From the site: This is a fan-developed game with the aspiration to be able to compete with full-grown commercial RPGs. With an estimated playing time of 50 hours, over 60 Quests and thoroughly synchronized dialogues by professional voice actors, new weapons, armor, spells, races, models, video-sequences, specially composed new music and much more, this does not seem that far-fetched.
The CS has even got it's own wiki, in which their many tutorials can tell you everything you need to know.
