Somebody has an idea what to do? And you are sure that you placed the esp file here -> Your HD:\Program Files e.g.\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data? you could also use OBMM, it's a wonderful tool to manage your esp files, easy to use too^^. The Esp should show up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody has an idea what to do?There is a chance you are taking ESP as generic name for mods. I think very, very few mods are presented as just the esp and when does so it is a mod the author don't cares with the minimal documentation (Assuming such mod have at least a description where it was uploaded this don't help verifying with it does when seen in our "Mods to install folder"). If you are sure it is a file like somename.ESP and if correctly placed at your ...\Oblivion\data folder... maybe you are using Vista and installed the game at the C:\Program Files..... If not, if the file is something like somename.7z or any other packer format you need to unpack it first and follow the directions on the documentation. OMOD would be a special format that need OBMM to install. Finally you may simply have surpassed the physical limit of 253 user mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw i also put the esp file in the my documents\my games\ fallout 3\ folder but nothing happend. Hmm, no esm? Are you even able to start the game? I doubt that that would work w/o esm...I just got the us version of Fallout 3 and installed it yesterday(which was an odyssee of 3-4 hours...), it however shows me the esm when I check the data files. I thus have 2 ideas: Did you get the game over steam? Might be that the esm won't show up untill you place it into the fallout folder under steamamps. The 2nd solution would be to reinstall the game(which is already drastic). Since nothing worked for you untill now, that might fix your problem... Could be that your Launcher is broken or something and thus not able to load the esp/esm anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalftw Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The esp needs to go in your fallout data folder in: program files\ Bethesda Softworks\fallout 3\data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
