sillyoo Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Ok, so basically I am new to modding. I don't do it but I love it and download heaps of mods. But, when I download new armors or weapons, and activate them, all they come up as are the red clear diamonds with a white ! in the middle. I have had this problem numerous times with all different mods so I know it probably isn't the file. It must be that I suck at following instructions or I accidently changed a setting. But please, anyone out there could you help me. If you download and use mods and they work then yes, you could help me. Just someone please.

jaosals42 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Be sure you are extracting the meshes and textures to the right folder. For Oblivion on XP mod installation, extract the mod contents to... "My computer" - "Program files" - "Bethesda Softworks" - "Oblivion" - "Data" sub-folder, or just the "Oblivion" folder if the "data" sub-folder is included in the zipped file. If asked to replace meshes, textures, folders, etc, normally you will click "yes" to overwriting. Be careful as to which files they overwrite though as well, as it can cause issues with other mods and such. (I don't have windows Vista, so I don't know how mod installation in it goes.)

sillyoo Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well I have Vista and the mods I want are for Fallout 3. But I'm not sure how I put the textures and meshes in Data. Should I put the folders in or just the contents of the textures and meshes folders in. I'll experiment and thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyoo Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Or could someone please make a video to show me exactly what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosals42 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Put all the folders in. You probably will miss out on something besides the esp. if you only extract the meshes and textures. Without the esp., the meshes and textures aren't in the game to begin with, unless they are replacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
