bben46 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 First mistake I just downloaded a bunch of mods Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop. ~Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland In this case, the beginning is where you install the game. The best place is NOT the default location (unless you have Win XP) as that allows Vista and Win7 UAC to block mods and other programs.Recommended: C:\Games\Oblivion Note: Moving the game will not work. You MUST uninstall completely, then reinstall. Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexushttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240 It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice. If you are usingthe steam version, It's best to reinstall the steam client outside of the 'program files' folders. Recomended, C:\Games\Steam. Then all of your steam games will be outside of the UAC protected zone. Note: I do not recomend disabling UAC as that allows certain viruses to trash your computer. Now be sure you have the latest patch as it is needed for many modsLook in the lower left corner when you start the game for your version. The latest patch is v1.2.0146Go here for patches: http://www.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads_01.html Note: The patch is included on the Game of the Year version, as part of the Shivering Isles installation. Next, OBSE is required for many mods also, Get the latest version here: http://obse.silverlock.org/ And the utility programs, get the latest versions.BOSS: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20516OBMM: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097Wrye Bash: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22368 Don't make the noob mistake of installing a mass of mods all at once and expecting them, to just work. The time you think you save will be more than lost in troubleshooting.Install a few at a time and test - make sure they are working before adding more to the list. And, a troubleshooting tool for when you have a wacky problem and need to make sure it really is a mod causing it: Bben's Oblivion Revert to Vanilla gamehttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=340 And of course, If you have a pirated version, It's a good probability that is your problem. In that case go ask your pirates as we cannot support pirated versions here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacracker Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Never mind I got it to work. I read over the fact that I needed both the MMM.esm. and MMMforOOO.esm. I only had the MMMforOOO.esm on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
