Using Mods with Vista 64 Bit

[XJDHDR]

I have 175 mods running on Vista 64 bit. I had to sell my soul to the devil (disable UAC, run everything as administrator), and have bald patches on my head from pulling my hair out!

 

...or install all programs outside the "program files" folder.

I use OBMM and Wrye Bash (OBMM for mod (un)installation and Archive Invalidation (BSA Redirect); Bash for the Bashed Patch, save managing and mod fixing). Make sure that, before you install a mod, read it's whole readme and analyse it's folder structure. Knowing an incorrect structure only comes with experience though. Also, use OBMM's OMOD feature. Sure, it nearly doubles the amount of HD space a mod takes up but uninstalling and installing a mod is so much easier with OMODs. I wish you well.
