The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Free Silver Longswords and Shortswords
Join the Fighter's Guild, and fast-travel to Leyawin. Go to the Fighter's Guild there. Go to the third floor and go through the only door up there. As soon as you go through the door, walk straight ahead. There should be a rack with 2 Silver Longswords and 1 Silver Shortsword. There is another Silver Shortsword on a desk in one of the doors on the second floor.

Get Alteration Skill Up Easily
Go to any Mage Guild Hall and buy a lock opening spell (any will do - I used the "Unwelcome Guest"). Find any door that is locked, even if your spell won't open it. Keep using the spell on the door and your alteration skill will go up.

Arrow Happy
If your character is strong enough to take hits from many arrows then this can help you. Get a bounty, resist arrest, and run somewhere that the guards cannot get to you, but make sure they can still shoot you with their bows. Just sit there and let them fill you up with arrows.

Hiding Weapons on Dagon Shrine
If you're having trouble with the Dagon Shrine quest, before you talk to Harrow, drop your good weapons. After you give him all your things, go and pick up your items again and kick their butts.

Get High Acrobatics
To get high in acrobatics you have to go to a high mountain that you can't walk up. Keep on pressing Y (jump) rapidly and your acrobatics skill will go way up.

Personal Punching Bag
Wondering how you can get your hand to hand skill up? Well, if you go to Cheydinhal you can find out without getting in trouble with the guards there. You can beat up Aldos Othran, he's located somewhere in Cheydinhal. But if you ask anyone in Cheydinhal (exept the Cheydinhal guards) about Fines you will get a mission that involves Aldos Othran (A.K.A. Skooma Boy). If you attack him while on the mission you will kill him, you will fail the mission, and you'll lose you're punching bag (Aldos Othran). The mission is called Corruption and Consience. So as long as you don't do the mission you can have your own personal punching bag all to yourself.

Easy Stealing
If you go into any shop find items on counters that you would like to have. After you find an item you like, knock it to the floor and push it into a dark corner (by the basement usualy works best), and the shop owner will follow you. Now crouch and wait about a second and the sneak cursor will go blank. Pick up your item and use it as you will or (Thieve's Guild members) sell it to a fence. It's really easy and you don't need to run across rooms or kill people first.

Easy Pickings
Are you tired of getting caught by the guards for stealing? Well to avoid this, push the shop-keeper around a wall so he can't see you. This allows you to steal without letting anyone catch you.

Full Deadric Armor
To do this cheat you must be at least level 20. If you haven't already, do the quest "Unfriendly Competition". At the end of the quest you have to kill a man and his companion. The companion will be wearing full deadric. Kill them both, and you have full deadric.

Good Items
There is one simple and easy way to get good items in the game: do the Thieves' Guild quests. You are usually sent to a place where good items are, and once you get up higher in the guild you get such items as Jak Springheels boots (50+ Acrobatics), and when you finish the last quest you will get the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal (the Gray Fox's mask, it acts as a second identity for your bounty when you wear it, and has 25+ Sneak, 200+ Feather, and Detect Life 120ft, all constant effect).

Easy Level-Ups
In Leyawin talk to some people in the streets. They should mention rosinta gallentus and how her house smells horrible. Do the easy quest and then take the staff to darkfathom cave just outside of leyawin. Once you're at the shrine in the cave and you have dropped the staff you can kill the scamps forever.

Master in Almost All Mage Skills
To do this you must be near a bed. Choose any spell and keep casting it until you run out of magika, and when you do run out, go to sleep for an hour and you will have full magika again. Repeat until whatever level you want to reach.
This may take a long time but you will reach master level in most magic skills.

Level Up All the Way for Sneak
Entry Location:
Rufio's place

When you do the first mission for the Dark Brother Hood (A Knife in the Dark) and you are at the Inn of ill Omen, go to the basement where Rufio lives, get down in sneak position and run against the wall. Rufio is sleeping and will never wake up. So, just keep running against the wall and your sneak will begin to level up.

Easy Speechcraft Level Up
You have to have speechcraft as one of your main abilities, otherwise this won't work.
When you persuade people, after a while it will say speechcraft skill increased. Just go up to anyone and persuade them like crazy (the way I did it was they're negative first and the positive last, but it may not matter). Keep going and eventually it will say you need to rest. Rest and level up and do it again.

Make Your Horse Faster
To make them faster, have a decent restoration skill and have the ability to make your own spells. Make a spell that fortifies speed, but make it touch instead of self. (you can do target but if its just to your horse, that's wasting magicka) I made two spells that added up to be 70 speed and it was hilarous how fast my horse was. I recommend 20 to start with, with the longest duration period you can get.

WARNING: it's really easy to kill your horse in turbo mode because when you run over cliffs on your horse it gets hurt. That's why I recommend a small number. And since it's really easy to hurt your horse, it's a good idea to get a restore health spell to heal it. You can usually find those spells at churches.

Lava Swim
In some Oblivion Gates there are pools of lava in your way. (Example: Skingrad Gate, Leyawin Gate)
In Bravil there's a big gate in your way. Instead of going in the cave filled with deadra to get across, you can swim around the gate. To do this you must have a lot of health because the lava takes away a lot. If you're a Nord you can use woad and your health will go down more slowly.

Need More Space
Entry Location:
Chedinhal

Carring too many items? Say no more. All you have to do is find a chest in a secure location, preferably the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Chedinhal. Once you have found a chest then you can take stuff out of it with stealing and loot it of everything. Next press the left trigger while still in the chest and it will bring up your inventory. Place all items you want to store in the chest by pressing A. Do not worry - your items will not disappear - just do not forget which chest they are in. This can be done with multiple chests.

Easy Money
To get easy money go to the Arena in the Imperial City and bet on a match - bet the highest. Go to the match and use the cheat kill on the person you don't want to win, and you will get a lot of money.
