So I have arachnophobia and I am thinking of buying Oblivion, since I stopped Skyrim after just not having it with my phobia, I really wanted to try out Oblivion but I am thinking whether this one has any Spiders which make my experience somewhat worse.

Well, there are Spider Daedra, high level monsters resembling spiders. Early in the game you are unlikely to meet them.
Do you know uesp.net? The site contains (almost :-)) everything there is to know about the TES games. For example, the Oblivion creaatures are described there: [url=http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Creatures]http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Creatures[/url].
Have fun!

I just remembered this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/11939


No Spiders

This mod replaces Spider Daedra and Spiderlings with Scamps. This only affects the models and animations, they still have the same stats etc. It affects both mob spawns and summons. I originally made this for my own use, but thought that others may appreciate it. This is my first mod for Oblivion. To install simply add the ESP to the Oblivion
I had never used it, but probably can let you enjoy the game.

This is even more useful, I'll be sure to use it when I get the game! Thank you!
I would advise you not to play Arena, as it has too many spiders in it. I find the game fun (to a point), but it sounds like you would have a problem with the spiders in it.

(Incidentally, I seem to remember Skyrim getting a no spiders mod. I also remember Legend of Grimrock, right when it was released (and before the modding tools were released) getting a mod that replaces the spiders with another enemy.)

No problem :)

By the way, it's seems that there is something similar for Skyrim: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26468

With Skyrim, what bothered me the most because there is a Spider boss at some main quest dungeon which always used to scare me and make me think that the mod was not able to replace the Spider boss and then I never bothered with it.
If I only knew that it would replace it and such and be totally sure of it then I would play Skyrim again but for now I am just being careful with my phobia.
