installing a new mod

[Snownd]

Hey, so I'm new to the whole modding scene for oblivion and I'm stuck on how to get the files I want into the game. I have downloaded WinRAR and decompressed the file but how do i add it to the game. I tried looking for a page on this subject but im not finding it. Can anyone show me where to go from here?

When you open the download you need to get to the folder that is named Data Files or Data, when you click on it it should open to expose meshes,textures and an esp.Click on meshes and then select "extract files" a pop up will appear asking you what path you want to use. the path for the default installation of Oblivion is C:Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data.You can edit this path to work with custom or Steam versions of Oblivion. When you have selected the correct path you then extract the meshes into your data folder by clicking on the extract button. You repeat the process for textures and the esp,but once you have the correct path selected, you will not have to change it every time you install a mod. If you did this correctly you should be able to select the mod from your Data Files or Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) TESNexus php?id 2097.
