Mages Skyhouse Mod Conflict please help

[Erenussocrates]

There's a brand new home mod called mages sky house, I downloaded it and tried to install to obmm. obmm couldn't load it, it was in folder in archive. so I gave up on that and tried to manually copy/paste the files to data folder. when I done it, mod icon was turned to red at obmm and then I tried to activate it there too and it said it does conflict with the mods. so here are the images of conflict detector:

OBMM's conflict detector is rubbish. Just because there is a conflict doesn't necessarily mean it's a problem. There are conflict winners, conflict losers, conflicts that are simply overrides or underrides, and then there are 'bad' conflicts. Usually only the latter, bad conflicts create problems. Read up on THIS PAGE to get an idea about how conflicts work. You'll also want to check into other, more advanced utilities for better conflict detection. TES4Edit is excellent at resolving issues, but it's not for the feint of heart. It's a very complex tool. Just be warned you can seriously damage your game if you do not follow the documentation thoroughly. Always keep backups. This next paragraph offers more information and another utility for mod management and conflict detection and resolution. Read on.

 

With that said, of course OBMM gave you a RED Conflict. You had manually installed the files therefor OBMM sees those files and realizes it would overwrite them if you installed the mod. Therefor it thinks that's a conflict. In reality they're matching files! But because they share the same name, even though the contents are identical, OBMM thinks this is a problem. See what I mean? Terrible conflict detection. It doesn't even know the files are IDENTICAL. I will give it some credit though, sometimes it will recognize this and you'll get a black box instead. Wrye Bash is much much better of a mod manager and installer. Although some will disagree with me on this. It's more complex but that means more and better options to due multiple tasks. And Wrye Bash is smart enough to know when files are identical and won't falsely label them as conflicts. When real conflicts do arise you have options with Wrye Bash. Sometimes you can merge files to 'work around' the conflicts. You also have an Install Order, much like a load order. This gives you options to customize which files take precedence, in other words "conflict winners."

 

You never did actually tell us your problem. All you mentioned was OBMM detects a conflict. As you can see by the above information that could be a false positive and your game may work just fine. Anyway tell us more information. Does you game crash when you load, or what happens? Your Load Order would also help give us more information.

wow, first time I realized too much have mods. and still, I am planning to add few more. what is the key on managing load orders?

 

and what is the black box conflict? one of my mods have that one but it seems to work fine too, except one or two points.

 

and about wrye bash, I am oftenly busy with the life, I go on outside meet my friends and stuff. I daily play oblivion only to have fun. I think I won't get on some complicated stuff like wyre nowadays.. obmm suits just fine to me.
