I downloaded a mod that required you to load the .esm of that mod right after Oblivion.esm. How do you do that and is there a programs that allows you to do it. The file that I downloaded is SoVvM.esm.

I would appreciate any help on this since I'm sort of a newbie to Oblivion and modding.

Thanks in Advance

I think Oblivion Mod Manager lets you change priorities...

Where do you Download that file?

look it up.

What do you mean? Just give me a link please.

You might get some use out http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/449239-oblivion-mods-faq/. Since it's clear you're familiar with modding Morrowind, the switch shouldn't be that drastic for you. Wrye Bash is the Oblivion version of Wrye Mash. BOSS is a load order utility, a little like Mlox, but even better. OBMM (Oblivion Mod Manager) is what the poster above is referring to - a mod installation and ordering tool, plus extra functions - easier to use than Wrye Bash but less features. And, TESNexus is your one-stop shopping destination for all of it. Cheers.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097 does do that, as does http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22368

Wrye Bash is more complicated a set up, but a more powerful utility.

Remember that Google is your friend. It was the very first entry on the page:

BOSS - http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=boss

Go to google and type oblivion mod manager.
