Why are all the Armor mods that i install not working?

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forums. Yet I am not super new to oblivion mods, (even though I just bought Oblivion) because I mod my friends oblivion game cause he doesn't know how.

 

Every time I go to manually install (not using OMOD) an armor/clothing, I put the Mesh/Texture/whatever other folders Into my Oblivion Data folder and I put the ESP file in the Data folder, than I go to play oblivion. I activate the ESP and I go to wherever the armor is hidden/being sold and it isn't there. This has happened to me on many occasions and I cant figure out why. Every other mod is working, yet all the armor/clothing mods just wont work (not including the mods that don't require and ESP like moding women armor to be low-cut).

 

Help is appreciated, thanks.

Make sure the mod is activated, then wait a few days before visiting that shop. The mod might be made in such a way that the shops inventory has to refresh, or you may even need to be a certain level for the items to show up. Without knowing what mod it is, or how capable the person who made the mod was, there really isn't any simple answer. You could always try opening up the mod in the CS to see if those items are added properly or not. If the items aren't connected to a container directly (not through a leveled list), and the container isn't within the shop cell, with the shopkeeper as the owner of the container, that may be why it doesn't want to show. Additionally, more than one mod which changes the same shop may cause conflicts which might cause both, or all mods related to not work.

Newest patch? I'm pretty sure most of them have it.

The mods are activated, I've checked many times. Some of the mods I have aren't even bought in a shop, one mod i tried downloading had some armor on a warlord at wooden hand fort (or some name like that) yet there was nobody with the armor on, but i did find the warlord. All my other mods work, its just.. any mod that adds a new armor into the game. Anyhow ill go try to wait in a shop for a few days and see if it shows up.

 

thanks for your help.

 

PS:The person who made these mods are VERY capable at making good mods.

 

o_O Does no one know? Cause this is really irritating me, I've tried doing everything.

 

EDIT: Merged posts. Please don't bump. Thanks. ^^

Try asking the mod maker... He could probably explain how to solve the problem better than someone who doesn't even know what mods you are talking about.

Could it be that downloadable Oblivion content is not compatible with 32-bit editions of Microsoft Windows or any version of Windows Vista?

 

Does anyone with Windows Vista have the same problem as I do?

 

thanks for your help :]

i am not sure, but i have heard many cries of help from people with windows vista when their mods dont work... what are some basic specs for your computer? I dont think it will matter, but its worth try...

 

P.S When you put the new meshes and textures in and it comes up with the screen telling you if you want to overwrite the files, what do you press?

 

P.P.S What are some of the mods that dont work?

sorry to but in, but i am having the exact same problem. it's with a new save game too, so my character is level 1. i figure this is whats giving me trouble, but i don't know what i should do to get around it... the problem is with three armor/weapon mods:

 

- dark illusion armor "Go to the Piukanada Ruin and defeat all hidden heroic enemies."

went there, looked around outside, explored the dungeon, couldn't find any "hidden heroic enemies" or anything.

 

- black luster weapons and armor "This MOD adds the following goods to A Fighting Chance that exists in Market District of Imperial City. "

went there, not for sale

 

- Marcos´s samurai armor "the objects are located in Slash´n Smash (in the Imperial market), and in Bruma and Bravil fighters guild."

went to bruma fighters guild, couldn't find in any containers in any rooms

 

 

 

edit: it just occured to me that i might need to wait around for the cells to reload, which i heard, depending on your respawn rates, could take a while. so i think i will enter the game and just wait for a few days and see if that does it.

I have the black luster weapons and armor, I waited and waited, nothing showed up, nothing for sale. I have the KD Cloth Circlets, nothing showed up, nothing for sale (same thing). All other armor mods i tried to install don't work either, even ones that put a chest in a city. I even, just to see if it was me or the mods fault, decided I'd open the Construction Set Wiki, and I got to the Imperial City and drop a bunch of zombies/horses/whatever animal I could find in the IC, I saved, checked it in the data files, and went to play oblivion. Nothing showed up. So I decided to install a RELIABLE Tessource.com armor mod that works on everyones computer (or so it seemed) I installed it, put it in, checked it in the Data files, and it didn't work either. But strangely enough all the Mods that are re textures of faces, re textures of bodies, re textures of armor, Weather Systems, etc. work. I Know its nothing I'm doing wrong, because I went on my friends computer and modded his Oblvion with the same mods and they worked just fine.

 

When I put in the messhes and textures it asks, "do you want to merge this folder with this one" and i press yes.

 

Here is some of my computers stats:

Like i said, I'm getting very worked up over this. Thanks for your help.

mareru, after waiting outside of one of the buildings for aproximately 4-5 days (hit the wait key and do 24 hours several times), i managed to get one of my plugins working, atleast somewhat working. the armor that i couldn't find was finaly being worn by someone, but i don't think i was high enough in the guild to buy from him. anyway, i'm guessing the stores are the same. wait a few days outside them and then try. i'm going to go try the black luster and circlets now. i'll let you know if they worked for me.

 

 

my problem now is just with the dark illusion armor. i came back to the dungeon and went inside, everything had respawned, so i thought great now i should be able to find these "hidden heroic enemies" but no luck still. no idea what the hell this guy is talking about. maybe i'm missing a trap door or maybe they are outside around the dungeon or something. i can't find anything in this damn place.
