[Warpsplitter]

hi,

first time i played oblivion the mods worked fine, but i had to reinstall the game and now the mods dont work.

im putting them all in the correct folders. any suggestions

Reinstalled? Did you patch the game?

Did you reinstall all the dependencies of the mods (like OBSE, etc)?

Got your load order set up properly?

[Warpsplitter]

can you explain a bit clearer please on the last few questions?

and i dont know which patch to get. plus i tried vers 1.2 but my computer wouldnt install it. it says "old file not found..."

by the way its the game of the year edition if that helps.

i reinstalled because something went wrong that made the ground purple ecause i was messing around with the creation kit.

When you reinstall, the uninstall on the disk only removes the exact files that it put on your computer - Nothing else. So it leaves behind any problems that are not caused by the original disk files. Some of these are entries in the Windows registry which the installer looks at to see if the game is already installed - if it finds them it gives an install error.

 

Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexus

It shows how to remove even the stubborn registry entries. As well as the best place to reinstall (Unless you have WinXP the default is not the best place if you ear going to use mods)

 

It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.
