133794m3r Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I just recently sat down and used omod for the past few hours packaging up all of my various little mods that i had downloaded into the omod files and thought apparently naively that OBMM would automatically add the .esps .esms and other such files to the load list or at the very least copy them to the Oblivion/Data folder but apparently it doesn't do that. So now i have quite a few omods with no archives to reference just sitting there so thusly there's nothing to go back on to actually fix the damned things. What is the easiest way to tell OBMM to actually copy the bloody files from the omod into the Data folder and at the very least just put them there so that i don't have to sit down and redownload several gigabytes of data and spend the next two days once more getting all of the mods that i use back onto my hard drive. If there is no way to fix it, then i believe that i'll finally give up on ever attempting to completely oblivion since i last tried this awhile back as said on this forum and if this time also leads to futility then i guess the game and all things related to it are far below my radar and obviously not worth my time what so ever.

Smooth613 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Properly packaged OMODs will place all files, including ESPs/ESMs in the correct folders. If I were you I would double check your archives and be sure they contain all the proper files before converting them to OMODs. Or another suggestion I have is ditch OMODs and move on to BAIN installations with Wrye Bash. BAIN is much more advanced than OMODs in the way it installs and uninstalls mods. BAIN will allow you to essentially "rewind" your installation since it has the ability to anneal any changes you make. You can also have an "Installation Order" much like a Load Order, which dictates which files overwrite each other. Or you can have files "underwrite" files. I could sit here for hours listing the many advantages of Wrye Bash and BAIN but instead I've just scratched the surface. I suggest if you want to better control your installations and compatibility you read up on BAIN. There is tons of info out there. I'll link you to Tomlong's site for starters. It's loaded with great information. Good luck! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
