Hey, guys sorry for the noob question, im new to the modding scene. I read all the FAQ and such but I still have some questions.

Ok I know I need oblivion Mod Manager

and I need to download the unofficial oblivion patch?

And isnt there some sort of scripter i must download that alot of mods require?

Use the first link in my signature, TESIV.OSitive is a very helpfull website.
The scripter is Oblivion Script Extender or OBSE.

I suspect what you're talking about is OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender). Here, http://sites.google.com/site/khettienna/mod-user-guides/setting-up-oblivion-for-mod-use might make your task a bit easier.

Good luck!

Edit: And TESIV:POSitive is a great site, do recommend!

Hey guys thanks for the quick reply, having a bit of trouble I extracted the OBSE into my oblivion folder with the .exe (im useing steam btw) and its sayin i should use steam to open oblivion not OBSE? what am I doin wrong


But I had to actually take the OBSE.exe out of its folder and drop it into the same location as my Oblivion .exe for it to even say that, before it was just sayin it could find my .exe

Full instructions from the OBSE readme..

IF YOU ARE USING THE STEAM VERSION OF OBLIVION:

1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_steam_loader.dll to your Oblivion directory. This is usually "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\oblivion".
2. Ensure you have enabled the Steam community in-game, or OBSE will fail to load. Go to Steam > Settings > In-Game and check the box marked "Enable Steam Community In-Game".
3. Launch Oblivion via Steam or by running Oblivion.exe. OBSE will automatically be run along with Oblivion when launched. To disable this, rename or move obse_steam_loader.dll. You do not need to use obse_loader.exe unless you are running the editor.
