Help with Missing Meshes

[Primetime773]

I'm completely new to the oblivion modding scene, so take that into consideration before bashing me.

Most of the mods I download end up not working, due to a giant yellow exclamation point where the item should be. This happened with Addonay's Elven Weaponry and I simply

reinstalled the meshes and it fixed the problem, but this isn't working for most other mods. The mod's I have interest in that won't work for me are; Capes and Cloaks, Scoundrels Luck Armor, and Thieves Arsenal. I run OBSE and OBMM. Any additional information you might need in assisting me with these issues is readily available, just let me know.

Thanks in advance.

If you tell us how you are installing them it might help, for instance the problem could be you are putting the data folder from the mod in to oblivion/data instead of meging the two folders sounds simple but i still sometimes do it :/

I have a similar problem, but it's with some vanilla meshes. Namely, the Amber and Madness armor lists (the ones in their respective smithies are just Missing Mesh objects).

I download the mod, extract it to a mod folder on my desktop, and then just drop it in to my Oblivion/Data folder. Obviously I'm doing it wrong, I'll give it a try thanks for the help.

Edit: I merged all my addons texture and meshes into two folders. Fixed the stupid yellow! but now the armor is purple, I read somewhere that's a texture issue yes?
