NukaSixty1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Okay. So I've been messing with mods, having a grand old time. Downloaded two that seemed promising: an over-the-shoulder Gears of War-style camera, and some Devil May Cry-style animations. Got tired of both. Didn't back up original Obliv files because I'm so freaking stupidly stupid. Tried to get rid of them. Minor chaos ensued. I want to just start all over again. Default files, default everything. Dunno how. I've tried everything up to a System Restore, and the glitched up first person camera and animations were still there. I kind of fixed the first person view (noobishly, with another first-person mod), but it's still screwed up and aaarrfhdjshj Help out a stupid stupid person that is blitheringly stupid? :C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NukaSixty1 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks, it worked. I backed up the files this time, but at least I know what to do in case of critical failure now. -w- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiries Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yikes. Next time this happens, just pay attention to where the files are going when you install a mod. For example, all the DMC animations go into the (root file, probably C):/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data/Meshes/characters/_male directory. Cleaning it out will make the game revert to the original animations, which are still intact in a different folder. In fact, any files that GoW camera mod added were probably in the "1stperson" folder located in the same directory, so clearing that out should have fixed your problem, no reinstallations or otherwise headache-inducing methods required. Next time something like that happens and you get stuck, come to us first. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
