📋 About This Mod
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO COPYRIGHT CONSIDERATIONS, I HAVE DECIDED TO DELETE THE FIRST AND MAIN PART OF THIS MODIFICATION. THE \'SUNRISESUNSET\' FILE (MAIN MENU MOVIE REPLACEMENT) REMAINS AS IT CONTAINS ONLY MY OWN WORK. To install, browse to Oblivion/Data/Video and back up (rename) \'Map loop.bik\' and \'Oblivion iv logo.bik\', copy the two downloaded replacements into the same folder and you\'re done. Please note that this movie is optimised for a widescreen resolution and viewing it on a 4:3 monitor, in a non-widescreen resolution (ie, 1024x768 or 1280x1024) will result in some loss of visual information at the extreme sides of the screen.

Sunrise - Sunset replaces the Main Menu map background in Oblivion with a full-screen movie of sunrises and sunsets over Cyrodiil. A simple cosmetic mod for players wanting a more scenic menu screen. With 103 endorsements and last updated in 2009, it's a niche but appreciated addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives the main menu a fresh, scenic look that fits Oblivion's atmosphere.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop in and enjoy.
- Community-approved with 103 endorsements from players who liked it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009—might not work with newer Oblivion versions or mod setups.
- Only changes the main menu background, so if you want more UI overhauls, this won't satisfy.
For Oblivion players who want a more picturesque main menu without overhauling the whole UI. Perfect for those who appreciate ambient scenery and don't mind a dated mod. Skip if you're looking for functional UI changes or play with heavy mod lists that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a movie file, make sure your game's video settings allow custom movies—check the Oblivion.ini for bFullScreenMovie=1.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep track of files and uninstall cleanly.
- Test the main menu after installing to ensure the movie plays correctly; if it doesn't, verify the file format is .bik or .avi as Oblivion expects.
