Computer can't find my ESP files!!!!!

[ABVXYzackattack]

Hey. I have been trying to put my second and third mods on the Nexus recently, but a problem has occurred. Although I can find my mods on Oblivion, they do not appear on my computer. It's like they don't even exist outside my Oblivion directory. I've been working on these mods now for nearly two months and REALLY want to put them on the Nexus. Can anybody help?

 

(P.S. I don't know why I was able to put the first one on and not the second or third one)

not really sure but have you looked in the virtual store?

C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

I tried to look for that, but my computer apparently doesn't have it. At least u had an idea. No one else I've asked knows anything...

i had same problem before, and no i dont post my mods becouse they arent good enough to be shared in public :tongue:

so tell me what windows version are you using (xp, vista, 7) and what plataform (32, 64 bits) or maybe you are using another OS

if the problem is just location hopely i can find it. :biggrin:

Lemme see here..........my computer has got Windows 7 and has a 64 bit platform. Does that help any? :wallbash:

[lobo1010]

well im doing this out of my head becouse i dont have a win 7 computer in my home (only vista) so you can spect some small mistakes

look in your program files first if your esp is not in the oblivion folder look inside the x86 (or it was x64???) folder and look for the bethesda folder

i think win 7 dont have a virtual store but it uses the x?? folder instead

also maybe you can found it using the search bar in your start menu (search for *.esp)

if that does not help just tell me and i check the win 7 computer in the university tomorrow (yay i have oblivion in there)

Did u find out anything more? Cause this is getting really intense. I'm spending even more time on my mods and they're getting even more crazy and cool, which makes me even more mad cause I can't put them on!!!!! BTW thnx 4 the help. I can make mods, but I have no fckn clue how they work...

I had a problem that sounds similar to your problem.

 

The problem I had was that you could only see the esp files in the GECK, but would have a padlock image over them. The other part of the problem was that I couldn't see them in my Fallout3\Data folder even with "show hidden files" on.

 

However, I managed to fix both parts of the problem by running the GECK as Administrator.

 

This might work the same for the TES4 Construction Set, which may allow you to find them.

nice McclaudEagle beat me to say that :thumbsup:

i found that running it in administrator mode send your files to the x86 oblivion/data folder so try that and tell us if that work for you

[ABVXYzackattack]

Alright. I ran the Tes4 Construction Set as an administrator, and it must have worked, but not in a good way. When ran as admin, it won't show up, but running it without admin, it shows up.

 

We're almost there!!!!! (I think)
