Broken Mods

[Arturiousrye]

I have a huge issue with my mods. Most of my textures are comming up as !. Big yellow !. Weapon mods, building mods, even companion mods are all !. Do you know what it's like to have a kick ass werewolf mod and have a big ! after you? Or to have Dragon or Lilarcor and have them make a big ! and not even be there. What is wrong? What did I need to get and didn't? Or is it something I have? A list of my mods:

 

Visually Enchanted: works fine

 

Vampire Alchemy: works fine

 

DBShadow set_NE: Never got the gear to find out

 

Lilarcor: Can't find where in Cyrodill it is

 

 

Acid's Extravegant eyes: works

 

Anvil Unicorn: works

 

za_Bank: ok

 

Dragon: Litch shows as ! and sword shows as ! and is invisible. Armor doesn't show at all

 

Cheydinhal Pat shop: crashes the game whenever I approach

 

PJ's spells: works fine

 

Aundae: ok

 

Dragon Castle: anywhere light casts a shadow I get !

 

Curse of Hiricine: All werewolves are ! and though it says I get the disease, custom races never change

 

Playable Golden Saint: fine

 

Ren's Mystic People: fine now that I stopped using Beautiful people

 

Ruin's Tales: he's freakin naked! He won't use his own equipment let alone what I give him to use.

 

Midas spells: His house is a ! and none of the ingredients are in Cyrodill

 

Sexlivion: no animations

 

Sexy Companion: She goes bald when we "do it" and again a ! appears which remains even after we walk away. And again, no animation

 

Ashara's sirens and tritons: perfect

 

Avariel: perfect and cool

 

Armory of the Silver Dragon: some of the items are ! some aren't

 

Akatosh: perfect

 

Also, every dungeon where light casts a shadow is !

The yellow triangle with the exclamination mark is the game engine warning you that you have a missing mesh.

 

This is usually caused by a bad install of mod or mods with the meshes being in the wrong location.

I can guarantee you that Apophis: Armory of the Silver Dragon will not produce those problems if installed correctly...and there isn't any kind of crazy install method to it either. I know because I packaged the mod myself.

 

If you have Vista, I highly recommend that you install Oblivion to a folder other than the default under C:\Program Files.

 

Example: C:\Oblivion or D:\Games\Oblivion

 

Trying to extract files from an archive directly to Oblivion's Data folder (like so many readmes indicate) will not actually extract the Texture and Mesh sub-folders due to quirky permission that are special to the "Program Files" folder in Vista.

 

If you do not want to re-install to a new location, you will have to extract the archives to a temporary folder (such as your desktop) and then manually copy the extracted files to Oblivion's Data folder. Again, extracting directly TO Oblivion's Data folder will not work in Vista the way it does in XP.
