bananasplit better cities problems

[Idhreniel]

DSOS, I'm currently in Skingrad, and there is definitely no change. When I installed I used the script for the OMOD.

 

I'm not too sure about the load order, I tried using BOSS, but it had some errors and was a little confusing.

Here's my load order

 

Oblivion.esm

BathingMod_base.esm

Better cities resources.esm

betterhair.esp

salmo the baker.esp

inebration.esp

CM_bettter winde.esp

_ren_beautypack_full.esp

Get Wet.esp

Boathing Mod_Soap.esp

Cyrodilic brandy.esp

Cities Alive At Night.esp

Alive Waters -koi addon.esp

BathingMod_bathroom upgrades.esp

Alive waters-slaughterfish addon.esp

_real_lights.esp

Bathing Mod_placeable bathubs.esp

Alive Waters.esp

Better Cities Full.esp

Better Imperial City.esp

Beter Cities full FPS patch.esp

Better imperial city FPS patch.esp

Better Cities.esp

 

What do I need to set the Better Cities to in Utilities? I think I changed them back and forth between BSA alteration and BSA redirection.

hi, when you installed the three-part Better Cities omod, did you follow the install guide here

 

 

 

1 - OMOD INSTALLATION (recommended)

Create an OMOD from each downloaded file, and let the scripts guide you through the installation process.

Do not try to combine the archives together before creating the OMOD, this will break the OMOD installation scripts we provide.

When creating the OMODs, if you receive a message beginning "Warning - this folder contains ESP files in sub directories" click YES.

When creating the OMODs, if you receive a message beginning "OMOD conversion data is available" click YES.

 

OMOD Installation Walkthrough refers to this if you have trouble installing the OMODs.

A ) Activate the OMOD "Better Cities #-#-#".

B ) You will be asked "Do you want the merged plugins of Better Cities?" If you want the entire mod, choose YES, which will install one ESP with all the Cities merged together, and one ESP with all the IC Districts merged together. If you only want to use some of the cities or IC Districts, choose NO. You CANNOT change your mind later, without going through the entire installation process, then de-activating the OMOD and starting over.

C ) If you have Blood & Mud installed, this will be detected automatically; you will now receive an info box informing you that it has been detected, and the B&M-compatible version of BC will be installed. If you don't have B&M installed, no info box will appear, and the non-B&M version of BC will be installed.

D ) If you selected NO for step B ) then a selection box will appear, titled "Choose the plugin(s) to install". Select each City or District you want to use then click OK. If you select every single one, you should have clicked YES in step B ).

E ) A selection box will appear, titled "Replacer Plugins". This lists mods which are incompatible with BC, where we have been given permission to provide edited versions which are compatible. Select all mods which you already have installed then click OK. NOTE we only provide Replacer ESPs, we do not provide the meshes, textures, sounds etc. for these mods. You still need to install these separately. Also, most of these options will check that you already have the mod installed. If you don't, an info box will appear stating "You need to install the original <mod> and to overwrite the ESP with this one." This means that the Replacer ESP for that mod will not be installed. If you do install the original mod at a later date, you will need to either re-activate the OMOD, or manually install the Replacer ESP.

Ea ) If you selected "Scribe Supplies" from the "Replacer Plugins" list, you will now be asked "Do you want the intensive version of this mod?" Intense version adds objects to many NPC homes & Guild Halls as well as adding items to some merchant's sale lists. Non-intense version only adds items to some merchant's sale lists.

Eb ) We also provide patches for mods which are incompatible with BC - patches require the original mod's ESP to work. These will be installed automatically if the conflicting mod is detected. You will not receive any message about this.

F ) You will be asked "Do you want to install the FPS Patches?". If you click YES, and you also clicked YES in step B ) then one ESP with all the City FPS patch ESPs merged together, and one ESP with all the IC District FPS patch ESPs merged together will be installed. If you click YES and you clicked NO in step B ) then a selection box will appear, titled "Choose the FPS Patches you want to install". Here you can select whichever ones you want. NOTE if you select one for a City or District you didn't select in step D ) then you will receive an info box for each bad selection, and that FPS patch will not be installed.

G ) You will be asked "Do you want the see Better Cities View When Distant items of the Imperial City?". Choosing YES here will install an ESP placing all the BC-added Imperial City buildings (from ALL Districts) behind the walls when outside the city.

H ) You will be asked "Do you want to remove the flood in Leyawiin?". Choosing YES here will install an ESP dropping the water height down and removing the flooding. NOTE if you choose YES but chose NO in step B ) and didn't select Leyawiin in step D ) you will receive an info box for the bad selection, and the No Flooding ESP will not be installed.

I ) An info box will appear reminding you to install the BC Resources packs. Clicking OK will complete the installation of the OMOD "Better Cities #=#=#".

 

J ) Activate the OMOD "Better Cities Resources #-#-#".

K ) Activate the OMOD "Better Cities Permanent Resources #-#-#".

La ) If you have Blood & Mud installed, this will be detected automatically; you will now be asked "Do you use the Qarl's Texture Pack 3 patch for Blood & Mud?" If you don't have Qarl's Texture Pack 3 installed at all, click NO. If you do have QTP3 installed, but do not have the QTP3 patch for B&M installed, click NO. Otherwise click YES. Our recommendation is to select NO even if you do have the QTP3 patch for B&M, as the QTP3 patch for B&M reverts most of the darker texturing from B&M back to vanilla. Your answer here determines which of the two versions of our Bravil Docks resources get installed. NOTE if you don't have B&M installed, then our standard Bravil Docks resources will be installed instead. NOTE allow it to overwrite ALL files it wants to (you will only be asked to if B&M is installed).

Lb ) If you have Grumblepunk's Shipyard installed, this will be detected automatically. This determines which of the two versions of our Shipyard resources get installed. No info box will appear to tell you if Grumblepunk's Shipyard was detected.

 

 

A) refers to Better Cities 4-8-0 (from the 30 MB zip)

J) refers to Better Cities Resources 4-8-0 (137 MB zip)

K) refers to Better Cities Permanent Resources (303 MB zip)

 

Another way to tell if youve got it installed is to open the console and type StartQuest BBCMenu

should bring up the options menu to toggle various things on/off like wine barrels.

 

with utilities, ive read BSA redirection is the latest/safest version (and think is set and forget)
