I am using Alluring Potions and Alluring Wine Bottles. BOSS tags these with deactivate, graphics, nomerge. However, if I do this, I do not get the potion icons in inventory and WTF for any bottles. Activating the mods works but the line turns red (as expected). I am using Bash v290.

Has anyone else used these mods witth these tags to tell me if I did something wrong or the BOSS tag is wrong? I figure to ask generally first as I do not know how often the BOSS and WRYE threads are monitored on the weekend.

EDIT: The mod name is in italics. I seem to remember another mod with same tags and also italicised. After building the bashed patch there would be no mark in the checkbox. However, botth the alluring mods have a dot in the checkbox and I can only alternate between a check and a dot on theese mods.

I'm experiencing similar problems. This happened to me when I first started using Alluring Bottles, I simply ignored it for a while and it suddenly by itself became alright (no idea how) recently I deleted my old bashed patch and started a brand new one, because I've had my old one for something like 4 months now, and the problem is happening all over again. I have no idea why this thing happens, and I can tell from other mods I'm using that it's not just the Alluring potions mod that is suffering, but a variety of graphic replacers. Right now I'm ignoring all the graphical anomalies and I'm hoping that what happened with me before, with the graphical anomalies fixing themselves, happens again.

It should be active, otherwise you cant get bsa.

Yes, it needs to be active. It should only have the Graphic tag, not the NoMerge tag. I went through some similar experiments myself when I first started experimenting with this mod. Beyond loading the BSA as wkomarecki mentions, if you look at the mod in the Construction Set you'll note that the mod actually touches the default potion records in order to assign a unique bottle for each of them. As far as I recall, vanilla Oblivion just uses one bottle type for each school of magic.

That was it. I just renamed the bsa so it loaded via another esp and now it works without making the mods active. Saves two slots. Thanks everyone for the help. Should have realized the bsa issue, been making custom ones all day.

I know I had it working a while back. I think maybe the tags changed as I do not recall them being tagged like they are now with deactivate, nomerge. But maybe I been doing this too much lately
