Nebulancer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey, I am having trouble getting my Bruma house to change from Vanilla-- I've tried installing, activating, and messing with the load order of both "Better Bruma House" and "Bruma House For Sale," but when I go to Bruma it is just the vanilla house inside. I have tried doing clean saves but it won't change from vanilla for either mod. I am using Open Better Cities Bruma, although I wouldn't think that would affect the interior of the house. Any ideas? Help is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) A full load order, preferably posted in a /spoiler tag, would go a long way towards figuring out your issue. Also, my General Beginner's guide post may be of some use here:Are you running Windows Vista/7 and is your \Steam\ or \Oblivion\ directory in the default location (C:\Program Files\)? If so, Windows UAC is known to cause all kinds of issues while modding Oblivion and it's highly recommended to go ahead and move steam to somewhere Windows UAC doesn't affect, like C:\Games and reinstall Oblivion. If you're on XP you can skip all of this as Windows UAC isn't implemented. Then, go ahead and install OBMM and/or Wrye Bash and run BSA Redirection as your form of Archive Invalidation one time. Without using some form of Archive Invalidation Oblivion has problems with using user created textures and animations instead of the vanilla content. BSA Redirection is the best solution to Archive Invalidation as it's practically fool proof and never needs to be updated after you've done it once. The next step for a Steam installation is to use File Date Changer to roll back the "Last Modified" dates of all of the .bsa archives that come in your Vanilla Oblivion install (plus the DLC of course) to somewhere around 2005. This is necessary for BSA Redirection to work properly. From here, be sure to make at least one character save in Oblivion so that you have a known working standard. I personally recommend playing through the tutorial dungeon (the sewers) up until right before the exit that allows you to change your character's aspects and keeping that save around permanently. This gives you a good testing base for adding mods in the future and you never have to play through the sewers again. Now you're ready to start modding. I'd say take it easy and try something simple like a sword or a simple texture replacer and then go ensure that it's actually taking effect in your game. Moving on you can add other mods, though I recommend installing them one or two at a time and trying them out for a little bit before adding more. This way when an issue does occur (and it's bound to happen) you'll have a pretty good idea of where to start troubleshooting. Here's a list of mods I'd recommend for any Oblivion install whether you're after grossly modded content or not:The Unofficial Oblivion Patch and the Unofficial Patch Supplementals (Be sure to get the Shivering Isles patch for SI and the Unofficial Official Mods Patch for any other DLC you may be running)Darn UI or Dark Darn UINatural Environments or All NaturalMiniMap Ignore anything pertaining to Steam if you didn't get Oblivion through it.

Nebulancer Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 All right, then. I should mention that this has been a relatively stable build for a while and the only thing I've changed recently is trying to replace Bruma House Enhanced with either of the two other upgrades I mentioned. Also, I've tried loading the ESPs of the new upgrades both before and after Better Cities, to no avail.

MShoap13 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Try starting a new game (this is where that permanent clean save before the sewer grate I talked about earlier comes in handy) with one of the new house mods and the rest of your mod list active and see if the house mod takes affect. It's possible that your old house mod has made changes that were saved to your character file and for some reason cannot be overwritten by one of the new house mods.

MShoap13 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The only thing that makes since is Windows UAC. What version of Windows are you running and is your game installed in a UAC protected area (C:\Program Files)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a UAC thing. Edited October 19, 2011 by Nebulancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 One of the three(?) mods you named, "Better Bruma House for Sale", claims you still have to buy the furniture. Did you buy the furniture? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
