Having a Problem with Mods

[Arcozo]

Ok,first of all sorry if someone has posted about this before,but im getting angry about this,every time i put on armor, my body goes away and in game im a giant exclamation mark,

Wtf?And btw,i think it has something to do with the fact im using Direct 2 Drive

The problem is the game can't find the Mesh, is this a new armor or is it one of the armor's that come with Oblivion?

oblivion/data/meshes/armor/ meshes from the mod/

 

also if you have NifsKope,verify your texture path

I did it with 2 modded Armors,the 1st was The New Tyrael Armor, and then the Hashashin or whatever its called(the assasains creed armor)

P.S am i just overlooking a certain thing i had to do to get it?Or am i having an actual problem?

It sounds like either the Mesh or the texture for the armor are not being found by the game. Do you have NIFSkope and/or the construction set?

Another way to resolve:

 

Find the folder you extracted the MOD into. It should contain a folder called 'DATA'. Double click it and then you should see two folders called 'MESHES' and 'TEXTURES'. You need to go into each of these folders and keep drilling down through any folders you find (write them down).

 

You should end up with something like:

 

DATA/MESHES/ARMOR/MOD NAME/ and then the .NIF files for the mod will be in the last folder.

DATA/TEXTURES/ARMOR/MOD NAME/ and then the texture files for the mod should be in the last folder.

 

Once you have the path written down for both MESHES and TEXTURES, go open up the Bethseda folder (usually in your programs folder), then open up the Oblivion folder. In this you should see a 'DATA' folder. Open this up and follow the paths your wrote down for MESHES and TEXTURES. The chances are that you will find something is different with the paths. You need to make the path you wrote down from the MOD and the path in the Oblivion folder (starting with DATA) the same.

 

Try this and let me know what you find.

I couldnt find Meshes only Textures

EDIT:In my Drive Directory i found Meshes,could this be it?because my Meshes folder isnt in my oblivion one?

[bhorton22]

That's your problem, the meshes are missing. Try re-downloading the MOD, it should come with both a 'MESHES' folder and a 'TEXTURES' folder.

does that mean i copy and paste the folder?

I tried that,the form of the items came,but some were see through and some were completely purple(srry if im giving a hard time im new to oblivion mods)

get OBMM, its an easy to use utility that will install all the files in their proper places.
