ok so ive been playing oblivion on the xbox for some time now. rainbows everywhere. then yesterday a thunderstorm struck and sheogorath gave my xbox E 74 (or did i do that) anyway a friendly crusader gave me the goty oblivion for the pc to start using so the rainbows have returned except someone opened an oblivion gate on my parade because im trying to mod and i cant figure out how to get hgec working so i can install a few other things. plz help me save kavatch

It would really help if you described what problems you're having with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Honestly, that was all gibberish to me. :unsure:

I'll help you close the Oblivion gate on your Kvatch saving experience, but first you have to tell me whats going on with this paticular gate.
All you do is drag the meshes/textures folder from the download folder into your oblivion/data folder

btw, no need to open multiple gates on the forums leading to the same plane of Oblivion :intergalactic:

Perhaps you should also refer to the stickies posted at the top of the forum. One of which discusses the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/449239-oblivion-mods-faq/. Seems like you also need to http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/724862-forum-rules-and-general-information/.

I'm amazed your PC can even run this game. Or maybe I"m more amazed at the fact you didn't already have the PC version if it can run it. Nobody should ever play that version if they can get the PC version at decent settings.

The OP didn't mention any PC specs...?

To the OP, we could probably be a lot more helpful if you described your problem specifically and in plain language. And triple post? Really?

k jack you don't really have to act like the hind quarters of shadomere. I'm running around trying to get my Xbox ready to get shipped off, doing some pre calc and trying to fix this so sorry if my spelling and punctuation isn't perfect. and yes i did post 3 times i dont know why, but i think it was a bit of connection lag, o well what can i do.

It happens. If you are new to mods in general then I would suggest reading the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/449239-oblivion-mods-faq/. If you are having a specific problem with HGEC then describe your problem and I'm sure somebody will be able to help you out.

I'm just trying to understand your problem so we can help you. You still have yet to say what your problem with HGEC is. Do you simply not know how to install it?

yea i couldn't figure out how to install it. but i figured out why the oblivion mod manager wasn't working. go figure all i have to do is right click and say allow admin access (some vista problem apparently) so, yea i figured it out thx guys (no that is not sarcasm)

Hmm, in order to avoid future problems with Vista, you'll either want to make sure your game isn't installed in the default program files location, or that you have User Accounts Control off. Otherwise, you'll be prone to all kinds of modding issues.

Simplest method for getting HGEC to work (numbered in Hexadecimal 'cause that's how I roll):
1) Download and install OBMM
2) Download the EVE HGEC Body Selector and Stock Equipment Replacer
3) Open OBMM
4) Click "Create OMOD"
5) Click "Add Archive"
6) Point it to the EVE file you downloaded
7) Click 'Create OMOD' and ignore any errors
8) Follow the instructions, making sure you choose to install body meshes and textures (EVE is designed around supporting more body styles than it includes)
9) Click on the newly-created OMOD in the right-hand side of the window, and click "Activate"
A) If it asks to overwrite anything, say yes.
B) If all went well the OMOD's little icon should have changed to blue, indicating that it's installed.

Now run the game, either by clicking on "Launch Oblivion" in OBMM or through the normal method.

EDIT: I type slow >.< but this is a good list for anyone else wanting to install HGEC.
