Hello everyone, i hope i am posting my issue on the right forum, i love this game, just got introduced to it, my msn messenger is ilya-s@hotmail.com so if you can help me there it would be great. :violin:

The problem is that whenever i install mods or expansion packs i never see any change in the game, im quite positive i know how to install the mods especially when sometimes its an automatic installation.
I enabled them through the launcher and theyre marked with a checkmark. What's wrong ?

One simple mod that i have installed was The Bag Of Holdings. i installed it and it was supposed to show up in my inventory, it didnt.
NO change occured after insatlling the Shivering Isles or anything else. :brokencomputer:

:flame: Im pissed to the limit, please help me Asap :swear:

Most likely you don't have the latest patch installed. Download it from the official Elder Scrolls site and install it.

I agree with Phitt: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm


Edit: Only install one. Just make sure the one matches your version of Oblivion and language. You are not using the Game of the Year Edition, are you...?

Edit: What operating system are you running?

Also, read the Bag of Holding readme, you need to do a miniquest (clear Vilverin) to actually get it.

Also Bag of Holding has a quest now, the bag is located in the ayleid ruin across from where you come out of the sewers. If you want it immediately bring up console with the ~ key and type in startquest bohgive, when you exit out of that menu it will say quest complete and you'll have the bag (never play without it myself). Shivering Isles sometimes takes 3 ingame days for you to get the rumors or you can travel to where the door is to start it sooner. But make sure your game has the latest patch first like the others said otherwise it won't work. Good luck!

:foodndrink:

Thanks for the QUICK replies, but i do have all the patches installed.

It's really not a good idea to post any addresses on a public forum. If someone wants it, they can send you a private message, where you can give it to them then.

What operating system are you running?

Is that an OBSE mod, and do you have OBSE installed and launch from it?

The DLCs' content are not showing in game either, I was not even getting to OBSE yet, haha. I am thinking along the lines of issues installing the official plugins on Vista and Win7...

1) I am running Windows Vista 32 bit (lol i know 7 is better, i just had a small problem and procrastinating the transformation)
2) what the heck is OBSE

R u talking about the launcher where u decide which mods will be active ?

1) I hope you did not install Oblivion in the default C:\Program Files\

Vista's UAC might be screwing with you. Read Tomlong's excellent guide for newer users:http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/index

2) OBSE is Oblivion Script Extender. this is another page where you should know what programs/utilities are really important to install and enjoy mods: http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/prep

No. OBSE - http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=obse

Where do you have Oblivion installed?

First off, since your are running Vista make sure you didn't install the game in its default directory (folder). Vista is very protective of that folder, and can play havoc with mod installs amongst other things. If you did let it install there, just uninstall, create a directory elsewhere .... something like C:\Games (or better yet D:\Games, E:\Games, etc.) .... and reinstall Oblivion there. As for patches, I assume you don't have GOTY edition? If you do have it, and install everything from disk (Oblivion, SI, KotN) then the game is already fully patched. Speaking of disks, do you have the DVD version or is it a download (Steam or D2D)?

OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender) is a utility that many mods require to function. Some of the best mods use it, so you'll want that. And while at it you might as well get BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Sorting Software) and OBMM (Oblivion Mod Manager). The combination of these two utilities (along with reading and heeding all mod documentation) will go far to insure that your mods run trouble free. (Don't worry about Wrye Bash yet. You need a good working knowledge of the basics before tackling that.)
