obmm trouble

can anyone tell me how to turn an esp mod file into a omod

If the esp is the only file, then there is no need to.

 

If you have other files included in your mod (e.g. textures, meshes, sounds, etc), read this:

It is very easy...as article points out how to do this. If it's a single .esp file, I usually create an OMOD that adds many single-file plugin mods at one time to avoid micromanaging each one individually. ;)

 

The main thing is that the plugin must be in the "root" of the folder or archive that you select.

 

OBMM does not handle (e.g. ignores) .esp plugins that exist in sub-folders...although you could place alternative .esp plugin files in sub-folders and use script to move them around during installation / activation but that is an advanced topic.
