even though im using the omod of this. and have read the read me many many times. i cant seem to get the proper esp.s installed for my set up i guess becuase i can not get the travelers to show up in my game.
i have shivering isles. and COBL but i do not have any of the large mods like mmm ooo or frans. if anyone can help that would be great.

Travellers comes with a OMOD install have you tried that yet..

Else what seems to be the problem. The Travellers Readme is very detailed once again..

im sorry my first sentence says that im currently using the OMOD of this the choices are confusing im sorry if im not understanding the read me very well. like am i still suppose to swap out the origional esps with the ones from the si folder or is that already done. the last time i used this mod even though i had SI i did not choose any of the SI optoins but wanted to try them this time.
the travelersitems.esp seems to be confusing me as well. since bain has it in red if i try to check it.

PS. detailed read mes do not always = clear understanding. sometimes the more information the more confusing it can be. at least for me

IF you are not using OOO of MMM then do not choose those Version,

if you are using SI, then choose the SI version,

if you do not want SI content on travellers or SI Travellers then do not choose that version.

if you are using Cobl then choose Cobl when asked

Else the omod install guides you through everything once again

else just choose what you need from the archive then add them into a new zip for a bain install..

i do plan on using the armor mod that it mentions Armamentarium

ok this part right here in the read me

Compatiblity notes about using SI Travellers and using with Itemnpc.esp, Itemvendors.esp, and ItemsUndscaled..

Using this will remove all si weapons and armor items that where added to list if using si travellers.esm, but will give you items from other mods instead in si for sale..

however in the omod install. those 3 particular esp.s i am told to choose 1 and choose cobl if that applys . which would mean that 2 items get selected in that pop up box. yet no matter which one i pick the npc vendors or unscaled. they turn red in bain and gives the message mod should be imported then deactivated. yet it makes no mention of this in the read me that i could find. and it also doent say in the read me that i am not suppose to have this esp. ticked .

With all due respect sir, you're the one who wrote the readme - and so you have a very thorough understanding of its applicable contents.
I think what the good lady here is looking for is a different angle of interpretation for a better understanding - and there'd be much less frustration with a little common courtesy.
