Keep being told BetterCities.esp is not installed

[SamJaa]

I don't know why that message keeps popping up when I finish the character creator. I'm installing the mod with Wrye Bash, I'm using the wizard, I'm not using it in compatibility with Open Cities Reborn, and the Full Package is selected. What am I doing wrong? Am I doing something wrong?

Use at your own risk.

The full message you are seeing (which will only ever appear once per character) is "Better Cities has an important announcement: File 'Better Cities .esp' not active, unless you have done some special tweaking with our BSA files, you're not going to be seeing any of our meshes and textures, and won't be hearing our sound and voice files. Now would be a good time to quit the game and check that you installed all the resources correctly."

 

You haven't installed the resource archive which contains the file you are missing along with all the BSA files. You need to download and install both files labelled as REQUIRED in order for the mod to work correctly.
