First mod attempt


Slomanka

Recommended Posts

I have never downloaded a mod before, and I reciently downloaded the Kvatch Rebuilt Mod. Problem is, it is not doing anything. Are there other programs that I need to download in order to actually have a mod affect my game, or what? If there is a program needed, let me know exactly what it is.

have you installed the mod correctly??

i also remember the mod requiring OBSE, so make sure you have it

 

also, read the description of the mod

if i recall correctly, it takes some time for the mod to work, and it only works after the Kvatch part of the main quest (though you can install the mod before doing these quests, and it will work after you do them)

 

if you have all the requirements for the mod, and enough time has passed for it to work, and it's still not working, then maybe you just haven't activated it?? or you didn't install it correctly??

 

also, seeing as you said this is your first time with mods, i would assume that you didn't get Archive Invalidation, so make sure to get it before you start running into troubles and problems

First, what is OBSE? Second, what is Archive Invalidation, third, how do I activate the mod anyways?

ok, so back to school with you :biggrin:

 

first, let's start from the basics

i would assume that you have OBMM (or Oblivion Mod Manager)

if you do, that's a good start

if not, go and get it

 

when you manually install a mod, you will see the plugins it has (esm and esp files) on the left side on the OBMM screen, in a list

this list is your load order

if a plugin is checked there, than once you load the game through OBMM, it will load these plugins as well (plugins that aren't checked will not be loaded)

 

in order to load the game through OBMM, you need OBSE, which is Oblivion Script Extender, which is required by many mods

just google OBSE, and the first result should have a download link, so get it

 

as for Archive Invalidation, it is a method in which the game will read files outside it's BSA archives (which hold all the contents of the original game)

you will need Archive Invalidation in order for the game to render any new mesh, texture and such

you can search the appropriate Nexus for it, or google Oblivion Archive Invalidation, to find it

 

does this answer all the questions?? if so, do it, and see if it now works
