mkremer98 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I'm new to all this mod stuff, But I've tried using several different weapon/armor mods, and for the life of me I cant get any to work! They always show up as a big yellow box with an exclamation point, I've read and re-read instructions dozens of times, and I follow them exactly, I make sure i have the right version, I make sure the box is clicked in the data files menu, but no matter what I do, it's always the same problem. Can anyone help with this?
Smooth613 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 The yellow exclamation mark is the default Error.NIF for a missing mesh. This means you did not correctly, or fully, install the mod. I suggest you read the Installing Mods section on Tomlong's site, TESIV:POSItive. That site is loaded with information from beginner to advance. Another thing to note is what operating system you use. If you use Windows 7 or Vista you will likely run into problems if you installed Oblivion, and therefor mods, into the default directory of C:\Program Files\. You should reinstall Oblivion to another directory so that you don't have errors related to UAC, Windows Security. C:\Games\Oblivion will suffice as an alternative installation location. I suggest you follow Bben's Installation Procedure. Good luck.
