Now, start OBMM. First thing to do is enable archive invalidation.
In OBMM click Utilities button, choose archive Invalidation.
BSA redirection should be chosen.
Click Update now. Exit screen.

Next you create the omod for OOO 1.33. Make sure you download the OOO_133_Complete.7z file (last file on the Planet Elder Scrolls link).
Now, in OBMM click create button, click Add Archive button, browse to where the downloaded OOO_133_Complete.7z file is, select it.
Don't panic if nothing happens for a minute or two, it is a big file.
The first screen that will pop up is a warning about esp files in subdirectories. Click yes to continue.
The you will be asked to inport omod conversion data. Click yes.
Now the files will appear in the window.
Click Create Omod and wait 5,10, 15 minutes for it to finish.
When done, you now have an omod for OOO 1.33. Double click it to start installation. Choose the full installation since you will install the Beta patch next. Choose options you want (take recommended ones to start with, explanations are in the readme).

Next, make sure you downloaded the OOO_134_Beta5_Patch.7z file from the same link as the complete version (it is the fifth file down in the downloads list).
To create omod from this do the following (as above):
Click Create
Click Add Archive
Browse to where the Beta5 file is and select the OOO_134_Beta5_Patch.7z file.
Now since the beta archive dos not have omod conversion data, fill in the block for Name (Call it OOO 1.34 Beta Patch5). Everything else you can leave empty.
Now click create omod.
This one will be quick.
Double click to install (it will overwrite the complete install with the newer files.
Close OBMM.

Here is where you would run BOSS to sort your load order.
To do this browse to the Oblivion\data directory and doubleclick BOSS Update Masterlist.bat to get the latest. Then doublclick BOSS.exe.
When done, start the game and you will have OOO loaded and working.
MMM we can do when you are ready. It is as simple as OOO (just more options with all those extra files)


As for Wrye Bash go to this link:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22368

Dwonload Wrye Python03a file
Download Wrye Bash 291 Installer version.

Run the Wrye Python03a file first.
Then run the Wrye Bash 291 installer.
You probably need to read up on the documentation is you are moving your Oblivion installation dorectory, I have not done this, I install in the default locations, easier for me, but then I don't use UAC in Windows 7.

And, as Thomas Kaira pointed out, check out and read through this guide http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/?page=site_about

I see that MMM is significantly different to install and the latest version isn't fully tested.

Tons of posts from me here but it seems to work as is, thought I do get an error when I exit the game, saying Oblivion is not responding.

The instructions for installing and running OBSE differ based on whether you are using a retail or Steam version of the game.

IF YOU PURCHASED A RETAIL (NON-STEAM) VERSION OF OBLIVION:

1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_loader.exe to your Oblivion directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder, and should contain files called "Oblivion.exe" and "OblivionLauncher.exe".
2. Run oblivion by running obse_loader.exe from the Oblivion directory.

If you use a desktop shortcut to launch Oblivion normally, just update the shortcut to point to obse_loader.exe instead of oblivion.exe.

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. 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.

Yeah I know. Just daunting when everything has a read me filled with info that isn't in english, which tells you to get other apps/whatever which also have non-english read-me, which lead to other pages no made for newbies. It's like everything is only made for the already-experience... though I did get some links here that'll help me learn.

Of course, I didn't intend to learn about modding.... I just wanted to play Oblivion with OOO and MMM. I guess to do that, I have to learn. (Sure hope it's worth it!)

That was a rather small violin actually. All the concerned readmes are in English. Glad you got it working. Amazed that people here are willing to hand hold so much.

LOL. "Not in English" means it has terms not understood by someone who is not familiar with them, not the actual language

You have to love the English language and all the phrases

Still a rather small violin playing IMO. OBMM has a pretty straightforward readme. If wondering how to create an OMOD, why not check it before posting and have someone else spend time writing pretty much the same stuff that is already covered there? :shrug:

I undestand what you are saying but I still remember how it was when I was starting out (reminded recently trying to install Linux for a project). Unless you understand the terminology and how it relates to everything, it can be frustrating.

Yes, but it's the same terminology. Click the Create button etc. isn't some strange foreign language. But nevermind.
