Preface: Another thread (Fantasy Clothes) made me think about this.
Although the game is over 2.5 years old, the PC version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, one of the most popular, computerized Role Playing Games (RPGs, especially due to its open ended gameplay, along with unreal graphics detail -- especially at its release date) has quite a "mode" community built up around the game. One set of modes are "body modes" which attempt to change everything from the rather bland set of body types and styles to more augmented sets of clothing, armor, etc... in the original. The game itself also has modes to drastically increase the texture, lighting and other output of the video cards than what it was designed for circa 2005+ -- which was already focused on "future hardware" of 2007+, and required a beefy video card to begin with on the PC.
I.e., I had a GeForce 7800GTX 512MB in 2006, 8800GTS 640MB in 2007 and now a 9800GTS 1GB in 2008. I know people are out there with 260 and 280 units as well, along with ATI options (I run a lot of Linux, so I prefer nVidia, long story, that may change sooner than later though thanx to AMD's efforts).
Probably the "standard" that many people load, including myself, is from Exnem. His creations have spawned an entire community (The Elder Scrolls (TES) Eye Candy -- a place to consider if you like to see of fantasy art in practice, both digitally rendered and artistic, with discussions). But one of the basics I like to use is Exnem's original, non-nude version, Female EyeCandy Body Replacer Underwear (screenshots if you click the picture -- although note that one race, the first one, is clearly non-pigmented human, so don't read into that):

It really takes the base models and replaces them with what I call "fantasy voluptuous" -- women who are 34D-24-38 (hourglass, busty, hippy, but shapely, not boney although very slender) or possibly heading towards 32D-22-36. Something that is not "offensive," at least at first glance -- and typically "expected" of and in fantasy gaming -- but also very "erotic." Even my wife commented after I loaded them, "wow, I didn't realize those women were so sexy," and it even turned her on a bit.
The figure is not quite as boney and tiny as Sandee Westgate, and "boney" is really hard to come by in today's pixels/textures anyway, but extremely slender but "fantasy voluptuous" like Britney Swallows. In fact, the reason I have great difficulty coping with the unreal figure of Britney Swallows in the "real world" is because it's what I'd expect in a "fantasy voluptuous" (especially at 34D-24-38, "fantasy voluptuous" equating "absolutely perfect" in my view). Whereas, in the real world, I see "full voluptuous" which I would say is ultra-wide, busty, hippy 40+-30+-40+ like Alix Lakehurst, Karina Hart, etc...
I also load Exnem's Female EyeCandy Wardrobe, which is great for select, rogue characters or the female companion mods option:

And Exnem also offers Female Eye Candy Rogue Outfit 1 and 2 as well, to augment even more characters:

The nice thing about Exnem's base mods is that they replace base textures and objects, and add none or minimal. For those that have dealt with adding mods to TES releases, it can become a mess for load/save games. I.e., if you load a new mod that replaces base objects, you're typically okay, and you can even augment some of the original objects when loading existing save games too. But if you load a save game that depends on objects that don't exist in the base game, it may fail if you don't load the required mod for them, or things might start acting wierd. NowtThere are tools and other helpful hints in the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP) Wiki (if you play Oblivion, you should know of it by now).
But you can get even more extreme, and load all sorts of mods, many that add and augment to the base objects well beyond these. Kilgore keeps a serious list of them on Exnem's spawned forum in this thread:

Understand I don't bring this up because I have some major fetish or anything, not that it would be wrong for anyone to have such. But I like the idea of adding a little more fantasy to any RPG, especially one that really hits the "fantasy voluptuous women everywhere" theme, really adds in a bit of extra flavor. That's why I typically go for the base underwear and a few of the clothed fantasy mods. If you play Oblivion, and you haven't tried any mods, the Exnem base EyeCandy is a great one. There's nothing like running into female characters that are sporting more curves than normal, and more into the "theme" of a "fantasy world."
