Rodawg Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This is only my second mod to apply(the other one was the colored map mod, which worked fine), but the game isn't switching to the new textures, the game looks the same. I've dragged the folders into the Data file and everything, and messed with the archive invalidation but to no avail. Anybody have any suggestions as to what may fix this problem? Oh btw I'm using Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth613 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Window 7 Related problems, etc... Are you using Windows 7 or Vista? Did you install Oblivion to the default directory of Program Files? If you answered yes to to both then you are likely experiencing, or will experience problems due to UAC, Windows security. Windows doesn't like it when an application, program, or even the user, attempts to alter files in a protected directory. UAC sees this a potential security threat and treats it as a malicious attack and blocks the action from happening. To prevent this you need to install Oblivion outside the jurisdiction of UAC, to an unprotected directory. A popular and suitable location is <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. For information on proper installation I suggest you follow Bben's Reinstall Procedure. If that's not the case then you have either improperly installed the mods, therefor needing to completely uninstall and reinstall the mods properly according to the ReadMe, or you need to activate, or update, Archive Invalidation. You might also want to read the section about Pink or Missing Textures Section. Another great resource is Tomlong's site, TESIV:POSItive. She has included information on nearly every aspect of Oblivion you might need help or just be curious about. It has information to suite anyone from beginner to advanced. I urge everyone to bookmark this site and soak up as much information as you possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
