Mod file paths?

[Broken_Code]

Hello,

 

Right, I know that all files must be relative to the oblivion/Data folder. However, do new meshes have to go in oblivion/Data/meshes/MyMod... or could they go in oblivion/Data/MyMod/... ?

 

I just thought it'd make it easier for uninstalling mods, not to mention making my Data folder look neater!

 

Thanks,

If you install by unzipping the entire mod into /data, then any subfolders should automatically be placed into the proper places. And the meshes will be placed into a subfloder based on the name of the esp. so if the mod is named mymod, and it installs as mymod.esp, then you will see mymod.esp in the /data folder, and there should be a new subfolder created under meshes that will be named /data/meshes/mymod. The unzipping program should automatically create ant new subfolders needed. including the /meshes if it is not there.

 

So, they must go into /data/meshes/mymod and not /data/mymod

I see. Thank you for the quick reply.

You can also try to make the files into a BSA file. There is a utility for that. That way they won't be showing as individual directories, they will list only as a single file.

Easiest way... Create omod's

 

1. Install and run oblivion mod manager

2. use create button in lower right side of obmm

3. add mod name, click add archive and direct it to ziped-rared mod you want to install

4. click create omod... and when omod is created click activate

 

This will allow you to remove mod with only 2 clicks and all the files will be placed into the right paths
