Its been a while since I have had a comp that it works on, How do I make it work? I can go in and load the data files up but everything is blank. No items appear.

Have you installed it to the correct directory (Oblivion\ not Oblivion\data)? Have you opened an esm or esp?

More information from you would really help. So I will have to guess...

If you have Vista or Windows7, AND you installed your game in the default directory, then you will never see the mod in the data folder.

The CS is NOT part of the game so the OS sees it as a virus or trojan program trying to change Oblivion game files. This is not allowed by the OS.


Solution? Pick "one" of these:

1. Install your game to your Root C: drive. Like C:\Games\Oblivion\ or another drive entirely if you have one.
2. Remove the security from your OS and then you can join the XP computer ranks and become a Zombie computer. *Not recommended.
3. In your \Oblivion\Data\ folder, look at the top right. There should be a button called 'Compatibility Files'. Click that to find your mod. You can then copy it from there to your Data folder.
4. Run the CS in Administrator mode. Right-click on the icon and select, Run as Administrator.

Sorry, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

This is what it looks like, I loaded the Oblivion Master file.

My directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda\Oblivion Which was the default.

Edit: I actually get a message that I didnt notice, it says "Oblivion.esm is a higher version than this exe can load." Wrong CS version then? I had to get it from google because Bethesda doesn't have it online anymore.

Yes, wrong CS version, you'll need to get the most current.
