Wrye Bash is an Oblivion mod/save file management tool. At the base level, it acts as a superchanged version of Oblvion Launcher, but it's real strength tends to be in it's specialized functions (e.g., face transfer, unleveling). Note that Bash is not a one-click install. See the readme for installation instructions.

[edit] Features

• Mod and save file management. Rename, duplicate, hide/unhide mods and saves.
• Assign groups and rating to mods. Sort mod and save listings by any of several categories.
• Quick load of a save's masters. (A feature strangely missing in the Oblivion launcher.)
• Quick modindex determination. The masters list for each save shows the formid for each of it's masters. (But note that the save must "be Blue" for this modindex number to be reliable.)
• Copy esp to esm and vice versa.
• Load order locking. Bash "locks" the modified times of mods, to ensure that they continue to load in the same order despite changes to them. (Uncheck "Lock Times" to turn this feature off.)
• Load reordering. Easily change the modified date of any mod to change it's load order.
• Quick readme viewing/editing. Quickly view/edit (text/html) readmes for all of your mods.
• Replacer management. Quickly add/remove texture, xml, etc. replacers.
• Face Importer: Import a face from a mod or another save game.
• Face Exporter: Export a save game face to an esp.
• NPC Unleveling: Unlevel NPCs so that npc releveling mods will work on an existing game.
• Leveled List Merging: Have your OOO and OblivionWarCry too! Needed for FCOM.
• Ability to 'merge' some mods into the Bashed Patch, thus defeating the 255 mod limit in Oblivion
• BAIN (Bash Auto Installer) for easy mod installation
