Lowpoly Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hello I have some trouble installing Robert's male and female body mods. The readme says if you copy+paste the data folder to the oblivion data folder, and activate the .esp you should have the mod working. When i do that, the body is still the same vanilla one. Am i doing the installation wrong, or is there a some sort of a problem? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 When you install mods, you do not copy 'data' folders to \Oblivion\Data\ folder. Any 'data' folder *must* be copied directly to the \Oblivion\ folder. The thing to remember is that all plugins, meshes, textures etc. go into the \Oblivion\Data\ folder, so by copying your 'data' folder into Oblivion's, you are creating two, so that the game can't find what it needs. Also, regarding Robert's, there are various install options, so you *really* need to read the instructions carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpoly Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Damn, i meant that i copypasted the contents of the data folder inside the download to the Oblivion data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hmm, I've been using both for a while now exclusively (even without the .esp active, the bodies should still work). Did you overwrite files when prompted? I'm assuming (for the males) you're installing just the base body, and not one of the alternatives (gets a bit more involved) included with it. Also don't forget to download and install the outfits (located in the same file page of Oblivion Nexus as the body replacer) or anything worn is going to look pretty odd. Another thing to try is after installing the mods, install these two mods as well: High Resolution Faces for Roberts Male and Female: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/39656Luchaire's HGEC Body Seam Reducer: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/19738 (install ONLY the meshes!) The latter makes considerable improvements in the look of the bodies. But again, use only the meshes--the optional textures will cause oddities like nipples and bellybuttons showing up in some VERY odd places. Also, if you haven't, use BOSS (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/20516) to sort your load order; you could have a conflict that's interfering. And, it begs asking: are you using the disk or Steam version of Oblivion? If I recall right there's an added step or two to use Roberts bodies with the Steam version. In that case, I recommend checking this thread here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/464940-roberts-male-body-replacer-help/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpoly Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 I gave up on trying to install it manually. I downloaded the omod version and it's working fine. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolness, good to hear you got it working. Definitely one of the very best body mods out there. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
