Imperial Legion Mod not working

[alane]

Hi,

I have been looking everywhere to find help on this subject and I have not found an answer yet.

I downloaded the latest version of the Imperial Legion mod, extracted the files into the data folder, loaded the Oblivion launcher, activated guards.esp in Data Files.

I go to the Imperial prison to find Garius Mentus but he is not there. I go down into the cells but he is not there.

So I am guessing the mod did not activate properly.

Then I try extracting the files onto the desktop, then into the Data folder. Still did not work. So I downloaded the Oblivion Mod Manager and activate the mod and move it to the top. Still does not work.

I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game into C:\Games\Oblivion instead of Program files because I am using Vista but still does not work.

I have been looking in goggle and a ton of other forums to find a solution to this problem but I cannot find one.

If someone could tell me what I have done wrong or point me in the right direction it would be awesome.

Thanks.

So I downloaded the Oblivion Mod Manager and activate the mod and move it to the top.

 

You should move it to the bottom of the list if you want that mod to be considered more important than all others.

 

Do you have an 'alternate start' mod? If so, that could cause a problem:

 

(To join you must have an INFAMY of 0 and have completed the DEFAULT character generation.)

 

(not sure if a custom race might also cause the conflict, as I'm not sure what he means by 'DEFAULT character generation', if it means the default tutorial or one of the default races)

Sounds like a Vista UAC problem. Mods installed, checked and just not in game.

 

For Vista and Win7 related problems such as UAC, Check here:

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I moved the mod to the bottom of the list in Oblivion Mod Manager but that did not work. I don't have any alternate mods in the game.

I also disabled UAC and ran Oblivion as Administrator but still the same result.

It is really weird, I have tried all these different things to fix whatever the problem is but it nothing seems to change.

I contacted the author of the mod and he advised me to type in SetStage MQ01 90 and SetStage guard01 10.

When I typed in SetStage MQ01 90, nothing happened.

When I typed in SetStage guard01 10 I got this error:

 

Script 'SysWindowCompileAndRun', line 1:

Item 'guard01' not found for parameter Quest.

Compiled script not saved!

grasping at straws

 

some mods won't work unless the game is updated to 1.2.0416

Fonger, you are a genius.

I updated the game with the patch and the mod works perfectly. Thank you so much and to the others that replied as well!
