Mods Not Loading

[Idoites]

Hello;

 

I'm new to Oblivion, but I've Modded Flight Sims before, at least enough to know to rummage around in the Foroms before asking a Noob Question. But I'm going to ask a couple anyway:

 

I've installed a Skill Diary (seemed like a good start), but it won't show up in the Launcher to "check" . I'm running Windows 7, and I've tried "Run As Admin" but that doesn't bring up the launcher. So:

 

1) Must I have the Crustion Set to run Mods? or

 

2) If I reinstall to C:Games is there a way to move Saved Games over to the New Home?

Have you placed your mod in (install folder)\Oblivion\Data?

Windows 7 is indeed the problem. Reinstall Oblivion to a directory of your choice outside of Program Files. Your saved games are stored in your "My Documents" area, so moving save files should not be necessary. The CS is not necessary to run mods, but it's fun to use. I sometimes tweak mods I've downloaded to better fit my play styles. I also recommend Oblivion Mod Manager (or OBMM) if you don't have it already. A lot of mods also require the Oblivion Script Extender (or OBSE) to run, so you might want to check into that too.

That was quick! Thanks
