What is a CRC mismatch & how do I fix a mod so it wont conflict w/

[thomasv333]

What is a CRC mismatch? and is this conflict ok or will it cause problems with OOO if I install this mod. If this will cause a problem can I edit this mod some how with the CS to eliminate the conflict?

 

Thanks

In this case is the order of installation that counts, since the last file will overwrite the former

It explained in plain English what it meant on the same line.

 

CRC = Cyclic Redundancy Check. But that is just a fancy saying for File #1 is not exactly the same as File #2.

 

In terms of Oblivion Mod Manager reporting that a file already exists and another mod is trying to overwrite it along with the message that they are different means that one mod "modded" that file and another mod "modded" that file too but in a different way. It could be that one mod made the texture a dark oak color and another mod made it lighter. I do not think it would matter one way or another unless you specifically wanted that file modified by just one mod. That is when load order becomes important...the last mod that loads is the mod that makes the change visible inside the game.
