Vexillifer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've recently started playing and the first thing I noticed were the ugly characters.Therefor I decided to download the beautiful people mod and/or ren's beauty pack.I downloaded both and started with the BPmod, following all of the instructions step by step. It won't let me extract more than half of the files into the data folder so I've tried extracting them in another folder and moving them.That didn't work either. Today, by somekind of miracle I maniged to succeed, but when I started the game with the idea of checking out the new races...There were no new races at all and on top of that, the characters had no eyes and black hair. So far I've only succeeded in installing 2 mods because they were executables with a setup.My guess is that this crap windows vista has something to do with it.

LordEmm Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 If you have Oblivion installed in the default location (in the Program Files folder) then it may indeed be the windows UAC that prevents you from copying things into your oblivion Data folder. Try installing Oblivion to a seperate folder (like C:\Games\Oblivion). The black eyes are missing meshes and/or textures. That happens when not everything ends up where it should be. Also you could turn of the UAC and try again, but the program files folder may need admin rights to write in them. I would never again try to use BP myself as it gave me weeks of headaches (and is very hard to remove, meaning i had to completely reinstall Oblivion with all my mods twice). It is incompatible with ANY other beauty mods except maybe rens original. It ended up giving me many problems even when installed properly as it conflicted with other textures and mods and would only play with itself. So that could also be a cause, but not on a fresh install with only BP on it... Although i have Rens running here with no problems. It pretty much does the same thing as BP but doesn't change Eyemeshes. Tell me if the moving of oblivion helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordEmm Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 You are welcome. Glad i could help. I have had many problems myself with mods in the beginning and it certainly is a learning experience, but very rewarding when it does work finally :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
