Triforce1 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If you copy it over the folder (if I am reading this right...) it should replace (with a prompt) anything that has the same name as what was already in the file. Anything that isn't in the file will simply be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If you just copy the files from one folder into another, it will not delete anything that is already there it will add any new files and overwrite any with the same name and leave any that are not included in the new folder. If you want to make the new folder the one you use, rename the old folder to a new name, make a new folder with the original folders name and copy over the contents - that way you will still have your backup. You might want to look at my reinstall procedure. Its at a new forum, here. http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibrary/index/ You need to register, its free and is only to keep the barbarians out. The reinstall is located in the Ben's Support section - intermediate (not the Ben's Oblivion Support which is the part viewable without registering) The procedure allows you to completely uninstall Oblivion, even the helper programs like OBSE and OBMM while saving them and the mods, saves and .ini file to a new location. Then leaves you with a new clean version, and a backup clean version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
