bben46 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Not much info to go on hereTop 3 reasons mods don't work. #1 Not having the latest patch#2 Not having OBSE #3 Vista Solutions #1 Get the patch http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm#2 Get OBSE http://obse.silverlock.org/#3 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.

bben46 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 From the write up on this mod: ==========Requirements========== This uses the "beta" version 5 of Roberts male bodythat is not yet released offically.To get the new version you must sign up at this forum:http://canadianice.ufrealms.net/forum2/ind...p?topic=8129.75 It also works just fine for the most part with V4 which is here:http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14942 ==========Installation==========Extract all files to program files\bethesda softworks\oblivions\data.If you are asked to overwrite files under meshes and textures, select 'yes to all'. You show the mod was placed in Bethesda Softworks \ oblivion \ data \ Textures \ characters You also do not say if you unzipped it there or if you placed the zipped file there. The downloaded files must be unzipped first. It should be placed in Bethesda Softworks \ oblivion \ data If you extract (unzip) directly into the \data folder, it should place the sub folders in the proper places automatically.If you need an unzipping program, I recommend FREE 7-zip, available here http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 I have a set of help files for people who are not computer geeks and are new to mods. They include downloading, extracting (unzipping) installing and activating mods. I have included a simple mod to practice on and instructions for installing and using 7-zip. If you are interested, click on the highlighted link below to be taken to the site where they are kept. I recommend starting with #1 and working your way through them. http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibrary/forum/256092/ If you use them I would appreciate some feedback as to what needs improvement and what works for you. Please be honest and don't worry about hurting my feelings with criticism as I have a thick skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
