Elsarian Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I have played Oblivion on pc for about two almost three years now. Fallout for almost one. I'm pretty well rounded in understanding the installation of mods. But for some reason I can not get my mods to show up in game. I am not running many at all either. Mainly, the only mod that I know for certain is not working is Accurate attack. I am still dealing with the "swing-and-a-miss" combat instead of hitting my opponent everytime when this mod is installed. I know that I have installed it properly. It's only an .esp. I placed into "data files" and then checked it in data files in the launch screen. I haven't gotten around to Downloading Morrowind Mod Manager just yet so hopefully that is not the issue. Also I have another mod that increases the size of the Odai River outside of Balmora to make it look more like a river than a stream. Not even that mod appears to be working. So any suggestions would help. Sorry for this noob-sounding extensive topic. Thanks everyone :) -Elsarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Do you have Windows 7 or Vista? If so, and you let it install to the default directory, under program files, your game is going to have trouble detecting the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReverendTholomewPlague Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Only way around that is to disable UAC (not really necessary when you have a good anti-virus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themisive Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The best way if you've got Vista or Windows 7 is to install to a separate folder AND disable UAC. you should have no trouble now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsarian Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 The very first thing I did when I installed windows 7 is disable UAC. Simply because I know what will hurt my system and what not to install. UAC is just plain annoying. And I have already changed my games directory. I do that for every game I install. I will probably reinstall the game just to make sure. Unless there is anything else I can try. Thanks Auriana and everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
