Then COPY - do not move the parts of the mod into the proper places in the data folder. Extract (unzip) the mod into that folder and not directly into the Oblivion\data folder. Then create a new sub-folder for each mod. When you download mods, download them into a separate folder outside of Oblivion. Usually any special problems other people have encountered, along with any solutions will be listed there. And look in the forum topic that is automatically created for each mod when it is uploaded. OR, try troubleshooting - changing load order and other things to get it to work.īy installing and testing just one at a time, your load order will build itself.Īlways read any documentation such as a readme file for every mod. When a problem shows up, you will know what mod caused it and can either not use that mod, Be sure to uninstall completely - meshes and textures also and not just the esp. Once you are sure it works, install another mod and test again. activate the new mod and launch the game. It will automatically launch OBSE first if it is installed. There is a launch Oblivion function - one of the blocks on the right side of the main screen. You will use OBMM and not the game data to activate mods from now on. This does not test all of OBSE, just the start game part. The game should start just as if OBSE wasn't started. Now start the game using OBSE to see if that works. Once you get a working vanilla game - NO mods make a COPY of this in a new folder outside of the Oblivion folder - this will be your emergency backup to avoid having to reinstall when you have problems. If it works, your problem was caused by mods. It will not affect OBSE as that is installed in the Oblivion folder. This will be your unmodified game, (also called vanilla) with the official patch already installed (if you installed it already) back to the exact configuration it was in before you installed any mods. Copy - do not move the following files from your oldata to the new data folder to put back only what is needed, create a new Oblivion\data folder where the original was located. This removes all mods completely - unfortunately it removes everything.

Rename your \data folder to something like \oldata. Instead of reinstalling the entire game, try this:
