I'm having a problem... [...]

Are you using Windows 7 or Vista? Did you install Oblivion to the default directory of Program Files? If you answered yes to to both then you are likely experiencing problems due to UAC, Windows security. Windows doesn't like it when an application, program, or even the user, attempts to alter files in a protected directory. UAC sees this a potential security threat and treats it as a malicious attack and blocks the action from happening. To prevent this you need to install Oblivion outside the jurisdiction of UAC, to an unprotected directory. A popular and suitable location is <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. For information on proper installation I suggest you follow Bben's Reinstall Procedure.

 

If that's not the case then you have either improperly installed the mods, therefor needing to completely uninstall and reinstall the mods properly according to the ReadMe, or you need to activate, or update, Archive Invalidation. You might also want to read the section about Pink or Missing Textures Section.

 

Another great resource is Tomlong's site, TESIV:POSItive. She has included information on nearly every aspect of Oblivion you might need help or just be curious about. It has information to suite anyone from beginner to advanced. I urge everyone to bookmark this site and soak up as much information as you possibly can.

 

Good luck!

Due to a really strange and probably misguided management decision by a person who evidently doesn't know how the internet works, (at BethSoft,) ALL patches and downloadable stuff, including the Oblivion Construction were moved to new pages. And they 'forgot' to leave forwarding links making them nearly impossible to find. This oversight makes thousands of posts telling people where they can legally get this content return a 404 page not found error. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f351/charonn0/ohgeez-1.gif

 

Luckily, long ago the CS was placed on TesNexus by a person with great foresight. :thumbsup: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11367

You've checked the esp(s) right? If you don't know how to do this, simply click the oblivion launcher, click on 'data files' and check the esp(s) for said mods. If you have and that's not the case, did you read the readme?

 

A few more details of your problem would be nice, such as the mod requirements and whatnot.

I've been *manually* installing mods successfully for years, but lately there are some very good mods that you can only install by "Omod" what ever that means. Does anyone know of any simple straightforward step-by-step instructions for installing those kinda mods?

 

(By the way, the link in your sentence 1 "Download the official construction set" doesn't seem to be working.)
