GOTY fails me

Assuming this is the first time playing with SI installed you have to wait (rest or sleep) for around a day in game time, then a message will pop up about a strange island and a map marker will be added.

 

You won't see any other evidence of SI until then. All of the new data is inside the new world unless you use mods that add items from SI to Tamriel.

 

I have seen posts where people don't get that message, but you will still have the map marker so you can go there to start the expansion. Not getting the message could relate to other mods perhaps, but I never came across the problem.

 

Investigate the island and behold the wonder of the Mad God. :smile:

2 possible causes I can come up with

 

1 - Vista/Win7 refusing to let you - Turn off UAC

 

2 - It happens, SI is installed, but not activated in the Launcher. (One of the causes of yellow "!" instead of the door)

Deactivating mods rarely removes mods completely from a game unless those mods come with ONLY esps/esms and no textures/sounds/anything.

 

But thats not your problem. If this is the first time you're installing SI, but have the previous patches, you may very possibly have to reinstall the game. Oblivion 1.20416 version doesn't particularly like SI, which I would guess is why they patch together on the GOTY version, though usually it shoots it down during installation.

 

Oh yeah - don't patch it. The full patch installs with Shivering Isles/Knights when you install them from the GOTY disk.
