So i am using WinRAR to extract mods' files to Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data/* then i opened oblivion mod manager and created files that controls turning OFF and ON in mods. then its done.. All green colors turned into BLue, ITS ACTIVE.. i launched oblivion and started playing but i don't see mods appearing in oblivion.. i had exit oblivion and fix the problems. i tried to open the oblivion launch and click Data Files and check those mobs and it is still not working... my laptop is vista. i run oblivion mod manager and oblivion as an administrator.

bben46 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 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. Wiki entry on installing Oblivion in Vista: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Windows_Vista 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.

VooDoo93 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nothing happened... I created an administrator account by using CmD (net user administrator /active:yes) and its completely successful. so i gets in that account and tried to play oblivion.. no mobs except one mob is Color Map.. which is really ODD...

JcHARP Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Make sure the mods supported are also supported by the new patch. If not they are out of date mods and cannot work with an updated version of oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
