constantcanadian Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So I recently got a new computer and before I had been playing oblivion fine with like 28 mods on it but now installing just 1 mod seems to break the data folder, I lose pretty much all access to the folder and so does everything else (OBMM) and I really makes no sense to me, I used all of the mods I'm trying to install on my old computer so it couldn't be bad mods.I'm running the latest update of windows 10 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivionaddicted Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Do you use Oblivion's latest patch? Does any of your mod require ObSE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantcanadian Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 So after viewing the properties for my c:/Games/Steam/steamapps folder I saw that it was a read only file and when I went to un-check the read-only box it loaded in the changed but then I went to see the properties again and it had read-only enable again, the same was true with another backup file on my computer and even with a random file I created for no reason whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constantcanadian Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yes, I'm the only one using this computer and was setup as Admin by default, I should probably clarify that, the folder is read-only but the files aren't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constantcanadian Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Ok so after further testing I installed OBMM and OBSE and then I installed the "ancient towers" mod and it worked just fine. no crashes no bugs it was perfect, I haven't tried uninstalling it nor have I tried other mods out of fear of breaking my game again Edit: just uninstalled it and didn't get any "access is denied" popups, also I redirected my archive with the invalidation thing, I usually don't use that utility Edited August 26, 2017 by constantcanadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
