Need help with Oblivion modding on steam


Recommended Posts

@ stump99 and sheogorath19 - you realise that the original post was in 2011?

 

Anyway, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 have a thing called User Account Control (UAC) which protects against viruses and malware by preventing "funny stuff" in the Program Files folder from running. Unfortunately, mods are considered "funny stuff" and that's why they usually don't work if Oblivion and/or Steam is installed in the Program Files folder like it usually is.

 

That's why it's recommended to install Steam and its games in another folder (C:Games/Steam is a popular choice). A guide to reinstalling Oblivion is available here.
