Strainge problem with mods

Post » Fri May 20, 2011 2:41 am

My problem is I can't use my downloaded mods even I'm followed internet guides as well as I can. I downloaded Very Fast Arrows -mod from http://elderscrolls.filefront.com/file/Very_Fast_Arrows;83945 . Aftere that I opened this using Winzip/Winrar and I got files "Read me" and "Very_Fast_Arrows.esp". Then I moved those 2 files to Oblivion's data -folder. My next move was clicking Oblivion's shortcut and then Data files. There I actived this mod. After this all it didn't work, I have Windows 7. Btw, does my low graphics do that?

Most mods require that the game is patched to 1.2.416, so check that.

If you are using Windows 7 or Vista, You want to install Oblivion outside of Program Files because of UAC. I have a folder on my hard drive called "Games" for Oblivion, Morrowind, Dragon Age, etc...
My hard drive looks like this,
Games <---- This is where all of my Games go, If I used Steam, Valve would be installed in this folder also
Intel
NVIDIA
Perf Logs
Program Files
Users
Windows
User Account Controls (UAC) is a security feature of Windows that interferes with mods, and will not allow them to work in your game without going through many steps and having to constantly give permission for them to work, the easiest way to avoid all of these problems is to install Oblivion in a user made folder.
EDIT If you are using Wrye Bash, the mod you are trying to install is doing the exact same thing as adjusting the arrow speed in Tweak Settings inside a Bashed Patch.
