IlliciteS

Quite a miracle, indeed, especially when no updated documentation are available. That said, thanks for the link; there are several really interrested sreenshots concerning the version of the mods. I will keep an eye on it during my installation.

Hi there, I was wondering if in 2015 (we are close to be in 2015) we can still play Oblivion with FCOM. Strange question, maybe, but I am trying to get it installed, and I have the feeling that is impossible. For Skyrim, you just have to download a mod with Nexus Mod Manager, and you can play it directly without any problem. I can play it with more than one hundred mods without crash or bug. For Morrowind, like more than ten years ago, it was quite as easy to install some mods, even if you have to manually do it. But for Oblivion... I am at my third attempt concerning FCOM, after having deleted and re-downloaded Oblivion twice. Sometimes I got some missing files, textures, meshes or I do not know what, another time, some parts of the game were in German (??), then the game could not be launched and crashed, and finally, I absolutely did not know what was really installed as OBMM and Wrye Bash decided to tick and untick some random mods here and there in a plurality of beautiful colors (BOSS said me there was only one Error, but I could not figure out where, and I could launch the game with several bugs, missing files, textures and so on). During my attempt to install FCOM, I have encountered these issues: - There are several documentations about how to install it, but they all say different things with different mods with different versions at a different date - They are all outdated - The author's site is down - All (or almost) the given links refer to planetEldercroll or something like this, which does not exist anymore - Some mod have been updated, others have not, so you never know which one you can take and if they are compatible - The updated ones have their updates scattered all over Nexusmod/oblivion.com, and you are bound to miss some of them - Some mods can be installed with BAIN, other with OBMM, others with an .exe, others with nothing. For an easier installation, they say. Really, I said to myself, when I installed it for the 1st time, that it shoud be easy, as it was for Morrowind or Skyrim. But this is such a mess, seriously. Even Wrye Bash and OBMM, which are meant to help you and be easy to use, are complicated to use in comparison with Nexus Mod Manager, when you have just to click on "Activate" to install a mod. So, are some of you still playing with FCOM, without any complication ? (Incidentally, am I an idiot ? Huehue). What is the best utility to install FCOM ; Wrye Bash BAIN, Oblivion Mod Manager, or even Nexus Mod Manager ? Can I use all of them for different mods ? And the last question, concerning Oscuro Oblivion Overhaul, the main file is a .bsa. How to use it, how can I open it with BAIN or OBMM ? (I have tried the normal way, but it does not seem to work). By the way, I am not sure of it, but if someone can show me a screenshot of his FCOM list of mod (name and version), it might help me to download the good ones. otherwise, I would content myself with some answers, even if they do not cover all my questions. A fresh Oblivion install is ready, I will wait for some tips and advice before doing anything. x) Thanks in advance !
