Mods aren't working

[synnworld]

I must apologies ahead of time if this is in the wrong place, I am still very new to the site and not 100% about where everything goes yet but now onto my point.

 

I have downloaded, copied into the data file and checked: NPC Face Color Unlocker by Quarn, IFT Improved Facial Textures by ShadyTradesman, Facial Textures by Enayla, Handsome Gents Addon, Beautiful_Women_NotSoNice_Bonus, and Beautiful Women Mod (Version 1.0) by ntobmodfan but the npc in game remains the same. Only thing time the npc changed was when I installed the eye candy patch. I am using oblivion mod manager and I think the original oblivion version, for some reason I can’t update…well I think I know why but that is beyond my command. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

It is most likely load order problem. Posting your load order will help.

 

Are you using Wrye or BOSS or set your load order? Do you use OBMM?

 

The version of your game shows on the loading screen at start up. There is a read me for oblivion in your oblivion folder that should say version number also.

This should be in Mod Troubleshooting; even if you are new that should have been obvious if you had taken the time to look. As for your problem, it's probably because you haven't updated oblivion; and if there is some reason you can't update, and you think you know what it is, there's no harm in telling us; otherwise we don't have sufficient information to help you correct the problem.

 

 

Edit: Rhiana is right, posting the load order is very important for mod related issues. I have told several people the same and I somehow forgot this time. Ugh...

[synnworld]

Yes I am using OBMM, and I didn’t try any specific order. 1.0.0.1 I think it is.

Maybe you have goty version of the game...Goty doesn't need patch (it's prepatched)

 

Edit: Without patch this mods can't work...

 

Also...Any error message while installing patch? Maybe "Old file not found"?

It looks like you have an older version. If a mod was made with a newer version, it will need at least that version to work. Try patching to the latest version. Here is my patch advice:

 

If you got your game through a download such as D2D, You have to go to them for any patches. The ones at the official site will not work because of the D2D copy protection. Programs like OBSE will probably not work because of the D2D copy protection. If you have a pirate version, sorry about your luck. Don't be so cheap, buy the game.

 

If you have the Game of the Year version, you don't need a patch.

 

To find what version you have, look in the lower left corner on the loading screen. If it shows v1.2.0416 you already have the latest patch.

 

You only need to install the latest patch, v1.2.0416, all of the stuff from earlier patches are included.

 

If you have Shivering Isles, DO NOT use the Oblivion patch, ONLY use the latest Shivering Isles patch. All of the oblivion stuff is included. There is only one English version SI patch for both US & UK versions.

 

If you DO NOT have Shivering Isles, use only the latest Oblivion patch for the language version on your original install disk.

 

Be sure to get your patch from the official Bethesda site where they have FREE patches for every language version, There are 2 English versions, UK & US be sure to get the one that matches your disk.

Where can i check is my game US or UK version? only thing i can find is that it's for EU...so i quess its UK version?

 

Anyway it seems work fine on both patches.

[synnworld]

Thank you everyone for all the help I have come to the conclusion it might be better if I try modding my own game from now on, after the proper study that is.

The big difference between the UK & US versions is the spelling of certain words. The Brits use a different dictionary than we do here in the US. There may be other differences as well.
