iconx Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Hello, I've installed the Oblivion GOTY and then over 20GB worth of mods in the correct order and it works great on the laptop I built it on, but now how can I copy/backup my modded Oblivion and restore it to another machine? On the target system I installed oblivion and the utilities I used for putting the mods together like BOSS and Wrye Bash and then I copied by Oblivion folder from one system to the other. I also copied the oblivion data from c:\users\gamer\appdata\oblivion and c:\users\gamer\Documents\Saved Games\oblivion and pulled up wrye bash on the new system, but my mods are all messed up and it doesnt work correctly on the new system. How can I backup my modded oblivion properly and restore it to another system or what did I miss? Iconx
bben46 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 When it is installed, Oblivion makes several changes to the Windows Registry - these CANNOT be copied from one computer to another. You must Install Oblivion using the disk on the second computer, Then start the game and make a save, then you can copy over the data folder from the other one. Do not try to copy over the Oblivion.ini file as that is hardware dependent - it will not work on another computer unless the hardware is exactly the same. So after installing from disk, ONLY copy the data folder and game saves - nothing else.Utility programs like OBSE, OBMM and Wrye Bash must also be installed and not copied
