missmewtwo Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am very new to this whole mod thing, but I find that I could probably do it if i tried, can't be THAT hard, right? well... this is my issue if anyone can help, i'll tell you what i did.... So downloaded the oblivion mod manager. but of course i needed the game oblivion to be installed onto my computer first, correct? correct...so anyway i did that first by simply following this video Pirate instructions removed,by using the following links and everything, I've also done the same exact thing with the shivering isle. shivering isle i can tell works because it says so under data files. the game can play and everything.... yay... so the next step was to download the oblivion mod manger.... so i did! however.... this is my problem....... "unable to get write permissions for: C:\Program files (x86)\Bethesda softworks\oblivion" that pops up as soon as i click on the game i'd like to manage..... what do i do? what am i doing wrong? I'll be following this person video in attempts to better understand how to use mod manger: even though the manger now looks a little different. Removed link to video showing how to pirate the game.

DarkVentus Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) right-click the program and click run as Administrator, that should be the fix for the write permissions problem, as for the Mod Manager, Oblivion Mod Manager and Nexus Mod Manager are different, OBMM is what you need if you download older OMODs and Nexus Mod Manager can handle basic OMOD files.

missmewtwo Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) okay, i thought everything was running easly, until for some reason, now that i have a mod manger... "it seems to work the couple of things that i downloaded seem to be listed under the data files"now its telling me to "insert game disk" um... how do i bypass this? I recall something about a virtual clone drive.....how do i start oblivion with out needing the disk, i guess is my question.

bben46 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If you have the DVD version, Insert the disk. If you have a legal downloaded version, it should just work. Since you have a pirate version we don't support them and ban pirates. Don't be so cheap support the game maker and buy the game.Topic closed Banned for piracyBben46, Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
