Installing oblivion mods.

This instructable will cover the installation of downloaded mods for "The Elder Scrolls, Oblivion".

NOTE: I suggest reading any readme's that are included with your mod as they might contain crucial information or tell you the locations of the item/location the mod adds.

Step 1: Find and extract your mod.

1.Find your mod

2.extract it (not into the oblivion data file...... not yet anyways)

i downloadde a mod and it didnt have specific folders just the .esp, .nif, and .dds files and it said to put them in the correct files ive tried afew things but cant get it to work

finally! someone makes an install guide! lol. its good you tried, but its a bit misleading... you dont take whats in the textures folder and put it in the data folder, it goes into the textures one in the data. and you cant forget meshes. many mods include both types, and some have even more. its safest to simply get the oblivion mod manager. (simply google the name) it lets you take this and make a single mod file (conveniently held in a "mod" folder) by simply hitting create, add folder, and navigating to the data folder in your mod. click create omod, and your set. it should pop up on the right hand side, double click to activate, and again to deactivate. keep in mind you can open any omod with this, and it lets you manage any "folder and file" mod (as i call them) that you have. cheers! :)
