noobie125 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hey guys im new to this whole mod scene and im trying to install some that i recently downloaded. well ive looked at plenty of "how to's" about how to instal them and ive tried and tried and i just cant see to get it! see here's what happens i put all the files in the correct place's (i think) and the i open the pre game menu and click on data files and check the mods that i want to use,then when i open the game i go to the spot where a mod should be and no mods can be found? I've tried starting a new game and reinstalling the game but nothing i try seem's to work! If anyone can help me with this problem can you please e-mail me at [email protected] Cheers!

tcwleblanc Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 way too lazy to email so you should just read here :-p download and install OBMM it will help you set up load orders, if you need help with that i would suggest Fcom Helper get the september 2008 b one and extract the .exe .bat and .txt to your oblivion/data folder. you need to have this installed for it to work properly, then you double click the .BAT file not the exe. it will tell you if you have extra things and it will order the mods for you so when you open obmm they will be in order. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 If you are using VISTA, it is a common problem. It seems that Microsoft is protecting you by not allowing you to do something you want to because it MIGHT NOT br safe. Quoted from the Oblivion Mods FAQ WIKI Using VISTA only: If you have downloaded and installed, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game. Then you should reinstall Oblivion into a different directory instead of the default. Installing mods on a Windows Vista system is bit trickier than it is on Windows XP due to Vista's increased security. For best results, it is recommended to install Oblivion to a location other than the default C:\Program Files\ folder. Another location such as C:\Oblivion\ or D:\games\Oblivion\ will work better. This will avoid the file permission problems many users have experienced due to the increased security restrictions Vista places on the Program Files folder. Or, if you feel brave, disable the security feature.Vista users may have to disable a security function known as UAC. If you have downloaded and installed, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game check to see if UAC is turned on. If so. Look here for instructions on how to turn it off. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...-windows-vista/ The first is the preferred solution.
