Ah yes. Your save files should be located in your documents folder. For example, this is mine: C:\Documents and Settings\Stampede\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

I've done all you said but what do i open my rar file with? alos when i put it in the data folder, i then click on oblivion, i can't find it whats wrong? Is there a converter to change rar to esp?

I won't even hide my amazement that you don't know what a .rar file is. A simple google search is all you would need to find out.

 

.rar is a packaging extenstion. Like .zip. You can use winrar to open it.

OK for the Eshme's Bodies and Cloth V2 I apparently need to make a damn \Oblivion\ArchiveInvalidation.txt "where the Oblivion exe is" (by exe I'm @ss-uming he means the launcher?)

I extracted all files into the Data file as instructed, created a new text doc "where the launcher is" with \Oblivion\ArchiveInvalidation.txt on the first line then C&P'd the EshmeArchiveInvalidation.txt's lines under this. Upon start up, i went into downloads and nothing was there to activate for the game. I have no doubt i f@#^ed it all up. Enlighten this noOb please god wth must I do?

once somone tell me how to do it, i will get the hang of it.

Have some patience, for pity's sake. Sometimes it can take a few days to get a response. If you're so desperate, go and search for the information yourself, it's not hard. Resources such as Google can be a huge help. Either way, double posting is spam, so please avoid it. Thank you.

 

Part of the problem is probably the fact that your post is worded poorly. Not even I can make much sense of it. What are you trying to do? What does DXREDIST have to do with installing mods? Have you read the instructions at the start of this thread at all? Because it doesn't sound like you have to me.
