I am real new to installing mods and need some information on abbreviations .The only ones I have installed so far were the factory ones from Bethesda like Shivering Isle .I also have the Mod Manager . I want to install Open Better Cities and when I read the instillation instructions it says I should create an OMOD and activate it .My question, what is an OMOD ?

Thank you,

I recommend you read the pinned http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/449239-oblivion-mods-faq/ and also the obmm.chm file that comes with OBMM.

Read this http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/newerusers page. I also recommend following the first through steps of my http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/walkthroughs/baininstallguide. There are introductions to the utilities mentioned within on the "Programs & Utilities" page. An OMOD is a file compression format used by the Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM). You can find all of that information on my site too. Do not rush too much...that can lead to crashes.

Thanks to both of you .I will follow the advice .
