What do I do?

I tried just unzipping it to the data folder but it didn't work, so i'm trying to do it manually.

obviously you are new to modding.

Unzip to a temporary location to review the readme. The readme says how to install the mod.
move the data folder (if there is not a data folder inside the mod then move meshes, textures, and the additional sub folders + the .esp file) into your data folder and when prompted to overwrite say yes. This is not overwriting anything, this is simply merging the folders with each other. All your original Oblivion files - the vanilla meshes/textures/voices/trees/ect are all packed into special archived files that you cannot access called BSA (you can access them but you cannot change them and if you try to change them you are working real hard on helping your Oblivion not want to work right).

I recommend using a mod installer like OBMM (Oblivion Mod Manager) which can create files called OMODs that creates back ups of the original mod, plus it is pretty intuitive to know where to place what in the Oblivion data folder. Just search on the Nexus "Oblivion Mod Manager".
If you need help installing a mod using OBMM just ask here - please do not spam the forums with multiple topics. If you do get it, then only install mods one way or the other, because Oblivion can be very weird and not want to work properly if some mods are installed by hand and some mods are installed by a program.

Sorry. Thanks for all your help, I've actually been modding (well, trying) for about a year now. I'm not very good with all of this, I try to learn more about it but it just goes right over my head.. I'm not sure, i'm good at alot of things, but modding isn't really one of them

Thanks again.

I can provide some assistance with these links. :user:

Thanks.

Do you also know if HGEC mods will work with Robert's male body replacer (such as clothes for HGEC?)

HGEC is female body only, so any male/female clothing would be made for their corresponding body model.
Roberts male works with HGEC because Roberts is for male character (as th ename implies), while HGEC effects only female characters.

For some reason more attractive females are more important than more attractive males. :P Maybe cause males are already super-duper attractive.... :angel:
