Talonvore Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi guys. Uh.. Talonvore, first i have to thank you for going through all this trouble to make this guide. It's truly awesome. (I know this thread is 2+ months old, but I seriously have nowhere else to turn to) Anyway, I'm afraid i have a problem, and the worst part is, I don't know exactly what is going on. I have followed all the instructions to the letter, yet when i launch the game and go to the character creation screen, it only shows the normal races, no new textures, (it shows the original ones from the game) and it's like i haven't done anything at all. I tried doing it all from the start, and all I got were the exact same results, with the difference that all characters in the creation screen had really dark toned faces (still no new textures or races) and when I made a random player out of frustration, I noticed that all female characters had no hands, in addition to their dark toned faces as well. I'm at my wits end. I'm gonna lay down some of my possible mistakes (which are probably stupid) just in case that you can see where I went wrong and point me to the right direction. Well, first, when i finish creating the omod and activating it, it loads fine (shows load successful or w/e) but the mod won't appear in the mod list to the left. Is that alright? Also, does the file "Oblivion.esm" (Master file) have anything to do with this? I have it unchecked all the time, but my other mods work just fine with it. And what about the "Data" folder on my desktop? Should I move it to the game's directory and delete the old "Data" file or something?Help a fellow gamer please? :( Also one other thing the mod will not add any races to the game, so you have to install any custom races yourself through custom race packs.

Talonvore Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 k so i downloaded step by step got it all on my obmm and when i go to activate it on the right side it says 'C:\Users\PC\AppData\local\Temp\obmm\1\Textures\Characters\Ren\Ren_MysticElc_tt01\Female\RenFootFemale.dds'. does not exist. why is this error happening. Not sure what you mean when you say "on the right side it says ......" On the right side of what? The right panel of OBMM? Anyway it appears that you are either missing Ren's Mystic Elf pack or somehow you are missing a file/component of Ren's Mystic Elf pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covert7 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hmm, everything works except for the imperial faces, or well none of the new face textures seems to be in-game :/ Tis a shame cause im really sick of the old faces :( I'm having the same issue. Omod's created and activated with no issues but when I go to setup a new game, the faces are all the same. The bodies are using the correct stuff because if I remove the clothes of the new created character, they're using whatever I specified in HGEC. I also have my Oblivion installed in a non-standard location so UAC shouldn't be the issue. Weird and frustrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiltySpork Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 When I open the renamed part 1 file it goes to the single file like it's supposed to, but when I open that one it says the file is broken. halp? I know this is a pretty old thread so I'm not sure if anyone can help, but I get this same error. I'm not sure what causes it, maybe because I'm using Windows 7 64 bit? But yes, when I try to open the double compressed file it says that 'the archive is either in an unknown format or damaged." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonvore Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I know when i initially tried to download and open the files i hade similar issues, and it can be tricky. What i would tell you is to go back and reread the steps outlining the downloading and opening of the files and follow the directions carefully.

arkzyw Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Sorry if this is not the correct place to ask for help with this... I can't get this mod to work. Basically the only thing that works is the nipple textures for Imperial, and nothing else. I tried many methods, from using just InstallTool, through manual, and using OBMM - the effect is the same.While I suspect I'll need to install custom races to use them(correct me if I'm wrong?), I wonder why other parts of this mod don't work ?I tried to at least get faces, and nothing else(disabled skins, and HGEC), but even they won't work. Can someone say what am I doing wrong ? Or maybe it doesn't work anymore ? I'm using WinRAR, and don't have 7zip, can it be an issue ? I don't know where else to look - my ideas are depleted :sad: Thanks in advance for any help. Edited January 12, 2012 by arkzyw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressHouki Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) I firstly wish to state that I could never thank you enough for your wonderful guide, Talonvore! It is detailed well and simple to follow. I could not get the textures to work using only the Install tool that came with the files despite trying multiple times, but after following your instructions, they work well (minus the two races I mention below, but it is fine ^^). k so i downloaded step by step got it all on my obmm and when i go to activate it on the right side it says 'C:\Users\PC\AppData\local\Temp\obmm\1\Textures\Characters\Ren\Ren_MysticElc_tt01\Female\RenFootFemale.dds'. does not exist. why is this error happening. Not sure what you mean when you say "on the right side it says ......" On the right side of what? The right panel of OBMM? Anyway it appears that you are either missing Ren's Mystic Elf pack or somehow you are missing a file/component of Ren's Mystic Elf pack. I had the very same error appear, but for me it was the file "Orc\Female\FootFemale.dds" and the small square next to the mod remained red in OBMM. I checked my "SteamApps - Common - Oblivion - Data - Textures - Characters - Orc - Female" and the "FootFemale.dds" file was missing. Why, I am not certain. I made an orc to test it and she still has feet and Ozmo's textures seem to be there, but merely are the same colour as the rest of her skin. All other race textures are functioning properly (despite the mod displaying a red square instead of a blue one in the manager), minus the Lineage II elf (the dark elf is fine though). The elf's hands and face look fine, but her entire body is black. As for the issue with the orc textures, I am not certain how the file in the original Oblivion folder went missing. While I do not find myself using the race, (and will not be troubled by it) if I do find what caused it, I will be certain to add it here. ^_^ And while I do realise this is an older thread, it seems the most proper place to post such comments. ---- Amendment: The issue with the Lineage II elf seemed to resolve itself after returning to the race menu after opening and exiting Oblivion a few times.

FinalSquall Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Sorry to revive such an old thread but... Did anyone ever figure out the reason the faces were staying the same? Because I am having the exact same issue, and it is causing the bodies and faces not to match tone Edited February 17, 2013 by FinalSquall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
