Here is a link to my help file for people who are new to both mods and computers. It has a small mod that will work in any version of Oblivion. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. If you cant get this one to work, and you are not running Vista you may have other problems. Let us know what happens.

If you are running Vista, read this:

 

Vista Problems

 

You MUST be signed on as an Administrator to do any of this.

 

If you have downloaded and installed a mod, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game And you are running Vista, you have run into a security feature of Vista called User Account Control. Or more simply, UAC.

 

Quoted from the Oblivion Mods FAQ WIKI

 

Alternate Install Directory

If you install your Elder Scrolls game into any directory OTHER than the default, none of these problems occur. Thus, you can bypass the Vista security issues by installing the game onto another hard drive or into a new directory that is not located within the "Program Files" root directory (such as "C:\Games").

 

Run as Admin

Another way to fix it is to right-click the ".exe" file and click properties, then check "Run as administrator". Then click OK. Do this for both the "oblivion.exe" and TESConstructionSet.exe", and any programs you are using that copies files to protected directories (such as WinRAR, 7z, or WinZip).

 

Disable UAC

Windows Vista users who are fairly confident in the security of their computers might also consider disabling UAC altogether. This will allow all programs writing privileges to the Program Files directory. Although this obviously creates a state of decreased security for your PC, it is a very helpful one-size-fits-all solution to a number of compatibility issues with the Vista OS.

 

Look here for instructions on how to turn UAC off. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...-windows-vista/

 

Of these, solution #1 is STRONGLY PREFERRED. Solutions 2 and 3 (running as admin and disabling UAC) remove important safety features of the OS. In contrast, installing Oblivion elsewhere resolves the problems with Oblivion without reducing your overall security.

Note that unless you opt to reinstall the game in a different location (option 1) when you start trying to make your own mods using the construction set, you will run into these problems again.

 

 

 

Nope, did everything you said to the letter and visited your website and still nothing. I don't understand why. Some mods do and some mods don't. What the hell is up with my game :wallbash:

Not all mods install the same. Check the read me of each one to see if there is a difference. You are saying some work and some don't. What isn't working? the mod just not showing in game, or something else?

 

Give us the names of the ones not working and We can check them for anything strange.

Ok, When i say they're not working i mean i've downloaded all the files and put them in their correct places but they don't appear in the game. :verymad:

 

The main file i want ATM is the URUK-HAI mod but i've read the comments and everyone seems to think it's fine. GAH! I hate my life :confused:
