The mod I'm trying to activate [i think I have it downloaded and unzipped correctly] isn't an 'omod'. It consists of several .nif files. I can't drag them into the mod manager [i don't have any other mods]or the 'data files' menu of the Oblivon launcher. When I get them to the destination, I get a 'circle slash' stopper. I have them copied to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data but I never got any 'do you wish to overwrite' messages or anything like that. They don't show up in the data files inside the launcher, either: only thing there is the master file. Within the data file, there's a 'meshes' marked with the 'O' symbol [i know its supposed to be a 'gate', but looks like a squished jelly doughnut to me]. It says its a 'Bethesda Softworks archive', contains hundreds of files, some .nifs. But it says they are all 'compressed', so I'm guessing this isn't the actual location from which the game draws images. I can't get an active cursor in there, so I can't paste to it Could any of this be 'Vista' related? Any insights would be appreciated.

Silly and late question, but since the thread is pinned I'm not bumping it. SO: Bought a horse in Cheydinhall, my white horse walked off slowly. I assume he's heading home to Anvil. Will he survive the trip? If I leave my new horse somewhere, walk to Anvil, get on my white horse, will the black one immeadiately take off from where he is, go back to Cheydinhall? Shoot-- forgot to ask: What about the realitive speed? What speed do I have to have to outrun the black horse?
