Hi, I am really excited about the creation of Skyblivion but I have a few worries. I personally consider Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul to be an essential mod for Oblivion (as well as Unique Landscapes and Better Cities), and I would truly miss it in Skyblivion. So that brings me to my question, is the Skyblivion team working on implementing additional content (or maybe even OOO with permission)?
Thanks, and hopefully this isn't in the wrong forums.

Skyblivion is completely vanilla. Skyblivion even shares the same form numbers as Oblivion, which means that some mods can indeed be ported over. That was pretty much done on purpose with mods in mind.
Do you know if OOO could be ported? And would it require permission of some sort if it is possible? Also, thanks for the quick response.
I agree with you, but doesn't OOO require OBSE? If so, that would prove impossible. OOO's changes are amazing though, most notably the changes to the loot lists. Bandits roaming about with the equipment quality of nobility is just plain destructive to immersion and OOO remedies this.
There are far better and smaller mods that change leveled lists if you are interested in this feature only. And they can be ported to Skyblivion in less than 5 minutes.
However this is not the time to discuss other mods while Skyblivion is under heavy development itself. But as a general answer - yes, around 90% of mods from oblivion nexus TECHNICALLY can be used with Skyblivion including the popular ones like UL.
But "technically" doesn't mean it'll be done. Original authors might be absolutely against this idea for example. The only mods that are planned to be converted are DLCs, but that's it for now.

Then it would be great if the Sauron armor mod could be ported over to Skyblivion.

omg... no... leave that to people who want to make a mod for a mod.
The core team will not work on Oblivion mods but we certainly embrace optional mods for our work.
You like a mod and want it adapted, you want to create a specific mod, you want to change something we did and we're not planning to change, please post your mod in the forums (same is true for Skywind).
It would be interesting if when Skyblivion (and Skywind) became so fully developed that an entire modding community came out of it and instead of having to port mods over, mods would be made for it. Including new mods. It would also be interesting if someone made a mod that converted Skyblivion to be Cyrodiil as it is in the fourth era.

Go to Dark Creations for 4E Cyrodiil. The point of Skyblivion is to let people play Oblivion on Skyrim's superior engine with dual wielding and all the cool stuff Skyrim added.
What, Vivec said. Exactly that.
