Mods aren't working

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 8:52 pm

My game was mucked up so i re-installed it, everything seemed all well and good started fine can play the game only problem is i extracted all the mods i have into my data file and copyed and pasted my mods into the file as well the problem is i can activate them all on the data files list on the ob menu but i cant see any of them in game the only one i can see is "OOO".

Is there anyway of getting them to work i dont want to have to make all my mods again (1 is a big castle, another is a whole new world which i have come along way with and havent finished yet).

If anyone can help it is much appreciated

Read the stickied thread about how to install mods.
But I suggest using an installer like OBMM, or even better, Wrye Bash to install and keep track of the mods.

What do you mean 'see'? If some of the mods you've made aren't working, make sure your CS is patched with the latest patch, else the game will 'silently ignore' all mods made with it. If it isn't patched you'll need to patch it, open your mods and save them with the new patch.

Also, if you're using Vista or Windows 7, make sure the game isn't installed in the default Program Files location. Use something like C:/Games instead.

Just making sure... Is your game patched to v1.2.0416 as well?
Because it's actually the other way round, plugins created with a 1.2 CS (nowadays all) will be silently ignored by a pre-1.2 game (like after a reinstall of any non-goty version f.e.).
