Oblivion Mods: Common Questions and Problems

[shadowsyllvet]

RE #2, Nothing shows up in the game - You are positive you followed the directions perfectly, checked the mod in the list and it just isn't there. Along with the other suggestions, if you use either Win7 or Vista you could be the latest victim of the dreaded Windows UAC. This security 'feature' of windows will prevent changes to programs and sees mods as a change to prevent. And it does this without bothering to tell you.

 

Best solution: Reinstall the game outside of the UAC protected folders which is where the game installer puts it if you dont specify otherwise. I recommend putting it in C:\Games\Oblivion

 

Also remember most mods will NOT work UNLESS you have the patch from the Shivering Isles disk, had this problem when I first began modding and tried all of the above including completely disabling Windows UAC(not advised by anyone i know) finaly patched and voila(eureka) it worked

Hi all. I'm trying to mod in BBB (Better Bouncing Breasts) into Oblivion, with no success. I am running the Game of the Year edition, which includes all the official mods and expansions released for Oblivion, and use OMOD to mod it. I also got it off Steam.

 

I think I found the right mod that enables it, but when I patch it in the character models revert back to their unmodded state, despite the head, hands, and feet still being affected by the skin texture mods installed.

 

Also, I heard having that mod alone doesn't grant the effects, and I have gotten the Universal skeleton to go with it, but I don't know what other mods I need to get it to work and create the 'bouncing breast' animation it enables. Could anyone help me with this by giving me a proper, full step-by-step instruction on how to install this mod correctly, as well as perhaps a list of mods that go with it that actually produce the effects I seek?

Yes, this is a familiar problem with the world, I'm sure. But I've tried the world's suggestions and they still haven't worked. Here's my rundown with a problem I'm having with "Missing Meshes".

 

forum thread draft:

My problem is the infamous missing mesh, BUT! I've tried so much and it has borne no fruit. I know you've probably heard this problem a thousand times because I've read all the threads equally so. I have the Mannimarco Revisited mod for my Steam-purchased copy of Oblivion. I get the missing mesh symbol (the yellow box with the exclamation point) over the clothing and hair of certain NPC's. Then, where there's supposed to be a door, is a stone wall with another symbol over it.

What I've tried:

-Checking of the mod is corrupt. It was not. It's a single .esp file, so there's not much to look for.

-Getting the most up to date version of the unofficial oblivion patch.

-Getting the Oblivion Mod Manager

-Reinstalling the game, DLC and all (but keeping the save files).

-Re-downloading the mod, opening it in winrar, getting it into the Oblivion MM and using the archive invalidation option.

-Altered the BSA, checked the appropriate fields.

-checked for new and old conflicts; no major ones existed.

Activated the mod and made double sure it was activated in the data files tab at the game launcher.

And yes, I deactivated my UAC :/

help?

Using the latest version of the nexus mod manager, I installed HGEC Body with BBB.

 

I did not choose the "install without animations" option. Now I wish to change to that no-animations option, so that i can use the NoMaam BBB Animation Replacer, but I cannot figure out quite how.

 

I have tried disabling and re-enabling the HGEC mod, I have tried deleting and redownloading and re-installing it, all to no avail.

 

I am guessing I need to delete something manually, perhaps? Any help would be appreciated.

might 'streamline' help ?

I have been attempting to use a dwemer sphere mesh, but it come with no texture when I attempt to create it (its purple) and when I put it somewhere, and I enter the cell, CTDs... CTDs everywhere...

[thebestdamncourier]

I would just like to kniw if its more likely something I did, or a coding problem.

Where did you pick the dwemer sphere mesh? Was it a modder's resource?

 

There's more than textures needed to make a mesh usable in-game. You should provide more information (and perhaps create a separate thread for this issue so we can keep an eye on it more easily).

 

Cheers!
