any help appreciated

I never have really modded before but am very interested and even fiddled around in game engines with tutorials. Hard for me but still modding is definitely a big interest I have passively. I also got skyrim wildlanders to work (formerly ultimate skyrim) back in the years. But my memory how I did that is forgotten.

All I know is there was a readme/guide I followed and had to pay like 5€ for faster downloads

Now, I want to mod the Oblivion remaster (heres the mods Id love to try Mod 1: No-HUD , Mod 2: No Compass, Mod 3: Color Reshade

Id be so happy if theres anyone here who could help me answer some questions:

GamePass C:XboxGames issue

I also am on GamePass which installed the files to C:XboxGames - one readme tells me to put it into "common>steam>oblivion", but theres 2 oblivion folders (see screenshot, one in adress bar, other seen in main list) - So what folder?

The other two mods have an .ini and the other one a small instruction to place files in "\OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks" - so every mod is different in installing, how do I install these mods (like the ini) - is it enough for the 2 of them to follow the description? What about the reshade one ("ini only") ?
Also is it even safe to mod like this on xbox app PC, like is online connectivity safe?
Do I need to back something up beforehand? game downloaded all day.. would be painful to do that again

Hope youre having a good time all, and thanks for reading in any way.

You may not find much help from Skyrim modders because it looks like these are not at all the same as Skyrim or (old) Oblivion mods. But yeah it looks like for those two you just need to put a couple of files in the right place, which looks like it will be in the "OblivionRemastered" you have highlighted in the screenshot there. Unless you accidentally delete things somehow there should be little risk of anything going so wrong that you'd need a backup.

Reshade is different, has its own installer you'd have to download elsewhere. Community Shaders works well enough for me in Skyrim so I've never tried it.

I see no reason to disbelieve it. Makes sense that the old Oblivion is still under there somewhere. Mods that don't require the script extender leaves out a whole lot of things though, we'll have to wait and see if some way to replace some of its functions is possible.

Reshade is here if you want to get into that: https://reshade.me/
