----------
From the v0017b ReadMe:
If you are using the Steam version of the game:
1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_0.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. OBSE will automatically be run along with Oblivion when launched. To disable this, rename or move obse_steam_loader.dll.
-------
I tried a very simple OBSE plugin (Denock Arrows) as well as some more advanced ones like Scorn's Vampirisim and Curse of Hircine, none of them worked. I got script failure messages from Curse of Hircine, nothing from the others, but when tested they didn't work.
-------
I'm running Vista x64 SP 2.
My Steam Oblivion folder is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\oblivion
