New Mods/Existing Saves : IV

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:50 pm

Hello folks. I am coming back to Oblivion after years away and am trying to wrap my head around all of the tools that have sprung up since I left. I did a full reinstall and am using BAIN as my mod installer/manager of choice and BOSS to sort my load order. Here is my current load order:

Ok, now my question. As this came about due to a specific issue, I posted in the individual mod thread, but haven't heard back in ~24 hrs so I thought I would post a more generic question using that specific example.

Example: Yesterday I installed the Dynamic Maps mod. I then jumped into an old Save, and the original map was in use, not the new one. I then made a new character and the nice new Dynamic Map was there.

Question: How can I use newly installed mods in an existing Saved Game? Does this (example above) happen with all new mod installations, where the content is just not available to that save?

Any help would be appreciated.

While I am a little surprised that no one has replied, I will thank anyone that reads this after my post here that might have.

I found the answer after a lot of reading. I seem to be reading more than playing now a days with all the new info to digest. For future people that are searching for an answer to my problem, here it is:

After reading through that site basically cover to cover I would like to say to all modding newbies, READ THAT SITE. It is an amazing compilation of knowledge. Thank you Tomlong75210 for all of your hard work (and of course to those that provided all of the knowledge he gathered).

First thing that stands out is your load order is missing the Bashed Patch :brokencomputer: Second, if you do have a Bashed Patch, are you selecting all of the necessary import options before building? Edit: ninja beaten by the op

Here's the same link on the new site: http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/?page=updating_saves

I was just about to respond too. I've been trying to put a new LO together after being away from three months. Good going successfully researching the issue yourself though. The effort and kind words are much appreciated. ^___^

Happy Gaming!
