Cobl question.

[tatts24]

Hi, I am new and trying to learn to mod for my self. :) I have been reading through the tutorials and so far learn how to change room, setup the teleports and I finished learning how to edit the outdoor scenes and add houses as well. Now today I have been reading through the Modding Etiquette, and it mentions that, to reduce compatiblity issues that the modder should have Cobl installed and base their mods with having Cobl installed? is that right?

 

However, I did download the Cobl and the race stuff as well. When I install this, should I have a fresh install of oblvion first before I put in other mods? I'm not really sure of the order that I should be using. But I would like to use the HGEC mod as well as others.

Also, when a person does make a mod, Would it be better to create the mods without other mods activated? or it does'nt really matter as long as it does'nt conflict with another mods.

 

My main goal is that I would like to be able to create Quest mods but at the same time make them so they are not going to conflict with any other mods or at least the majority, And at the same time I'm hoping to be able to add my own media as well, since i do modeling of my own. With the Cobl thing I am just not sure what to install with it as it seems to be a little more complex than other mods im alreay familier with.
