Grandy122 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I load up OMOD, I create the omod files (or use the ones already omod-compatible), they appear in the list as installed, no error message popus up, I make sure they are activated, everything seems fine and dandy. But in-game, nothing changes. The mods simply don't appear. All the omo-related searches I made turned out people compainign about error messages or something, but I don't get even those.

Striker879 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Anticipating an answer of Windows 7 or Vista, here's a link to Bben46's Oblivion reinstall procedure. Don't miss the link near the top about moving your Steam install location and don't skip the registry cleaning step ... it's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandy122 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Well yes, it happens to be Windows 7. But I'm reading that reinstall procedure, and I'd like to point out the game works just fine, except for the lack of mods. Unless you're saying that reinstalling the game will allow mod manager to work, since I admit I haven't tried that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, mods fall into the "unauthorized" category and the UAC prevents them from working. Installing Oblivion to a directory outside of Program Files (such as C:\Games) will bypass the UAC issue and allow mods to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
