i added some mods to my save (first time playing btw so there just small mods like armor and a tent and stuff i hated about it, or stuff thats like a mod for morrowind ) and i've added about 22 mods, but only a few work, actors in charge and the one for emotions and a few others, so what i'm asking is how do i make them work on a save game? ie: i've added a tent mod and it puts a sack in the market district with the tent in it (u might know it) but when i go there it's not added (i have checked the plugin i make mods for morrowind so i know the jist of it) i've no clue what to do other than start a new save game............ and i dont want to do that. unless it's the only way............... any help? is there a program? what can i do?

Is your game patched to the latest version, and if you are running Win7 or Vista, do you have the game installed outside of Program Files. If the answer to the former is "no," patch the game. If the answer to the latter is "no," reinstall the game to C:\Games\Bethesda Softworks. If the answer to both is "no," reinstall the game first.

Also, I recommend you start using Oblivion Mod Manager - http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=obmm
OMOD Installation - http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=omod_installation

thanks, also OB runs nearly the same as MW so i installed everything right. but i just want the mod to effect my game with out making a new one is there any buttons i can do any nobs i can press? and i'm installing the mod manager thanks!

Most mods can be added to an existing game. The ReadMe would mention it if that were not the case. Sometimes mods work better when added to a new game, but if you add them slowly (not twenty at a time) you should be relatively fine.

Just to be sure, but do you have OBSE? Alot of mods require it and won't run if you don't have it.

i did add them slowly over the time of about 1 week, but it's just strange for some of them not to be appearing in game, i know with MW it can be a pain in the *** but usually if your not in the cell it'll work, i'm gonna do some tests and stuff though cos i dont want to make a new game! :cold: but i read the readme's and none of them said anything in it about it needing a saved game.

also i just looked in wyre bash at my save and only the mods from about 4 days ago are there even though the saves form today and i had the mods loaded today, i must have missed something important some where but it seems the save just cant see the other mods like it doesn't want to?? is there anyway to sync in to the current load list liek you can do in wyre mash for morrowind?

i dont have obse. and i've checked most mods for it :blink:

You might as well install it, so that you will not find yourself needing to in the future. It is safe, has great support, and allows mods to do much more than mods not using it (not that all mods need it.)

also heres my mods i'm using (want to)
in the order there in in the data files menu on the launcher (shouldn't oblivion be at the top?)

actors in emotion.............................works
actors in charge..............................works
dlcorrey..........................................unknown
morrowind style argonians................unknown
bar fights........................................unknown
lich king helm v1_0..........................unknown
mark&recall.....................................unknown
new frostmourne...............................unknown
oblivion...........................................works
paleriders nordic warrior armor..........unknown
phinx portable tent..........................doesn't work
under world armor...........................doesn't work
woodsman armor............................unknown
rens beauty pack............................works

but the ones the save uses, or says it uses in wyre are:
in order in there positions in wyre in the saves file section:

oblivion
dlc orrey
mark&recall
rens beauty shop
anywheres sittable
actors in charge
actors in emotions

which is not all the mods i have selected so how do i add them ?

It certainly should. You need to use a mod manager to fix the load order of your mods. http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20516 is a tool that will re-order many many popular mods into their optimal place.

The launcher doesn't list them in the order they're loaded in. It will always display nonsense in this regard and is of no use for the perhaps most vital part of using more than 1 mod at once.

But for a huge amount of mods seemingly not having any effect ingame, make sure your game is really patched to v1.2.0416. You never answered to this one.
Plugins created with a 1.2 CS (nowadays all of them) will just be "ignored silently" by a pre-1.2 game. There will be no warnings, errors or anything.

hmmm thats interessting. and dumb, cant u just make the mods be updated like in wyre mash? also i have obliovion and the official patch Oblivion_v1.2.0416UK

is that good?

mind, i just thought that patch was just added 2 hours ago so ignore that i think with the patch working it'll work now thanks everyone :goodjob:

hmmm so i've added official patch, wyre bash, omod and boss (all in that order) and then launched oblivion i came up with a pop up about video card settings like it does when i first got the game..... and now my saves are all gone ALL gone, is there anyway of getting them back and what did i do?

Are they still in the My Games\Oblivion\Saves folder?

i'll check later today, but it's ok i started a new character, who's pretty good, but it couldn't be male cos i installed a face replacer and now the male darkelfs have huge eyes so i made a girl
