I am looking to play Oblivion again, and out of interest what are the best mods for the game in regards to improving the look and functionality of the game.

Thanks for all your help.

don't do it, you might get sucked in and never come out again, the amount of time i spent creeping through caves taking out NPC's with my bow and arrow stealthily.

Oh and if anyone knows, is there a way to get proper darkness, i.e pure black in caves or outside at night so you need night vision or torch?

Uhh...turn the brightness down?
Or, if your PC is near a window, play during the day with some ambient sunlight falling on your screen...it plays havoc with my computer...

I've also contributed to the best MODS I had found in there.

My personal favorite mods are:

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul - makes it not so easy and boring
Natural Environment/Weather - makes the weather better(including darker night, etc)
Deadly Reflex - best mod EVER! To name a few features, let's you slice people in half and decapitate, not to mention horse combat
Supreme Magic - if you're doing a spellcasting class, makes them less sucky

And get a UI mod so you don't have to deal with those huge xbox-360 style menus.

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul conflicts with Qarl's texture pack 3 and corrupts all the new textures, so I cant use it unless I want to see guards with no bodies, just floating heads walking about the cities.

bite the bullet and FCOM if you have the cpu for it. And I think there are versions of Qarls (reoptmized?) that don't conflict with Oscuro's.
