Mods with steam? : IV

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:48 pm

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could install Mods with the GOTY on Steam? I should probably also tell you that I am on Windows 7. I have tried installing mods before but I couldnt find the Data Folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should be able to. I've read you can even install OBSE. The reason you cannot find your install is due to where it was installed. Every game that I have gotten through Steam is found under C:\Program files (86)\Steam\steamapps\common\. I'm not sure if you have the same install directory layout as it is in Vista, however that is where you can find any games not developed by Steam itself but sold by them. But anyways, you should find Oblivion under the common folder and from there you just open it up and you should find the data folder inside of there.

Ok, I have found a folder called oblivion content.ncf . Is that the right one? Because it is the only folder there under steamapps.

Well I wanted the Summon Oblivion Gates mod but I need the OBSE or something, so I clicked on the link and it came up with this big page of writing and lots of links. I suppose I should look for it.

You can always reinstall oblivion, I recommend deactivating the mod via Oblivion mod Manager though. >>>http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097.<<<

To install OBSE on steam just copy and paste it into Go to

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

Then find oblivions folder and copy and paste OBSE's contents into the folder.

To DL OBSE click here >>>http://obse.silverlock.org/download/obse_0018.zip<<<

Its a Zip file so you need a program like WinRar or 7zip to open it.

Ran into a bit of a problem, I dont know which folder to go into and copy, and it wont let me copy anything, it just says copy to clipboard. (Yes not experienced with WinRar)
