armor mods problem...help!

[chibimaru]

hello! first post here! and I am also a modding noob. hard. I have done a few mods successfully, but for whatever reason I cannot get the BABFINAL mod to work in it's entirety, or the heartbreaker mod. I manually installed them both. the shop and chest both are there, but at the shop, the shopkeeps are just floating heads. they sell me their items (some of which have icons, some don't) and when i try to equip the clothes/armor, i become nothing but a floating head, as well. same goes with the heartbreaker armor. is there another mod I need to add to actually be able to see the armor? help!

It sounds like you haven't installed the mod's meshes and/or textures correctly. Missing meshes/textures often cause invisible objects.

 

My suggestion is that you double-check (or even triple-check) that you have installed everything correctly.

The easiest way to do this is to go back to the original archive. Unpack it somewhere neutral, not near Oblivion. It will either have a folder called "Data" inside, or two folders, "Meshes" and "Textures."

 

If it has a Data folder, Right-Click to copy, the find Oblivion's main folder but do not open it. Right-Click on it and select Paste.

 

Windows will tell you that there is already a folder called "Data". Modern versions of Windows do not lose files when doing this like way back when, so it is safe to say "Yes", merge or replace, depending on the version of windows. This will only overwrite files if you already had some of them from a different mod. This is OK as they are all the same between mods.

 

If there is no data folder, but just individual Meshes and Textures folders, then click on them to copy, then open the main Oblivion folder, right click on the Data folder that is inside Oblivion's main folder, and select Paste. Same routine.
