Nope, should work fine. All that does is disable nicer looking NPCs.
All I can guess is the load order wasn’t right; can you copy/paste the contents of this here?
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oblivion\Plugins.txt
Hey Jason,
I noticed a few typos in your 00cSortDownloads.bat that result in several files not be renamed correctly and therefore not sorted to their proper folder in the next batch file.
These are the entries that are incorrect:
[INDENT](line 28)
ren “%~dp0Downloads\ Book Jackets Oblivion High Res-5570.7z” “Book_Jackets_Oblivion_High_Res-5570.7z”
(line 43)
ren “%~dp0Downloads\Dremora_Companion_Full-6977.rar” “Dremora_Companion_Full_-6977.rar”
(line 107)
ren “%~dp0Downloads\Pack 3-24279.7z” “Pack_3-24279.7z”
ren “%~dp0Downloads\Pack 4-24279.7z” “Pack_4-24279.7z”
ren “%~dp0Downloads\Pack 5-24279.7z” “Pack_5-24279.7z”
ren “%~dp0Downloads\pack 6-24279.7z” “Pack_6-24279.7z”
(line 131)
ren “%~dp0Downloads\ RDBetterBookCollisionV0_4-16747.zip” “RDBetterBookCollisionV0_4-16747.zip”
ren “%~dp0Downloads\RDBetterBookCollisionV0_4-16747.zip” “RDBetterBookCollisionV0_4-16747.zip”
[/INDENT]
In each case, there are one or more underscores missing in the batch file.
Below are the actual filenames that were downloaded from Nexus that are sitting in the Downloads folder:
[Indent]
Downloads_Book_Jackets_Oblivion_High_Res-5570.7z
Downloads_Dremora_Companion_Full-6977.rar
Downloads_Pack_3-24279.7z
Downloads_Pack_4-24279.7z
Downloads_Pack_5-24279.7z
Downloads_pack_6-24279.7z
Downloads_RDBetterBookCollisionV0_4-16747.zip
[/indent]
I haven’t finished installing yet but this is an amazing amount of work! After suffering through problems in my last game, this is exactly what I was hoping to find. If it works, I will name my next child after you. :)
Those are by design, if you can believe it. People keep uploading files with spaces in their names, including leading spaces for some asinine reason.
The fun part is that different browsers handle this differently; some drop the spaces, some change them to underscores, and some leave them unchanged. So I do a bulk rename to a known good copy.
I did notice a couple spots where I was missing lead spaces though; I’ve hotfixed those. Shouldn’t matter, all you need is for SortedMods.txt to match the copy in 00-Configuration.
Thanks.
Thanks for putting this together, Jason. After some initial bumbling with Oblivion.ini on my part the install worked flawlessly. This like an entirely new game to me and I fear it’s going to buzzsaw straight through my free time this next week or two.
This is from a fresh install as of last night:
This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
Use the oblivion launcher or obmm to choose which files you want.
Please do not modify this file by hand.

Hrm, that looks right. If you have the patience, try this:
- Disable the last half of the load order in OBMM. Leave the order the same, just uncheck them.
- Load a savegame with the problem.
- If that fixed it, reenable half the disabled. If it didn’t fix it, disable half the enabled.
This will track down which mod is causing the problem, at least.
I decided to give this pack a try (I can deal with level scaling if the level-ups are fixed) since I’m going to have a large amount of spare time for the next three weeks, but it’s not off to a great start.
The first problem is I only have 237 files in my downloads folder when I should have what, 378?
EDIT: Also I can’t find obmm.7z, which is what alerted me that I’m missing stuff right at the very first step of extraction.
I am going to start over from the beginning but I would like to know where this “obmm.7z” file is supposed to be found for when I get to that step again. It definitely was not in the Downloads folder after DownloadThemAll was finished.
For some reason DTA think that there are 728 files to be downloaded. In addition there is a file called “updates_patches.htm” sprinkled liberally throughout the list that usually fails and gives a 404 error. I really have no idea what is going on.
If you put in the “.7z,.esp,.exe,.rar,*.zip” filter right there should only be 214 files getting downloaded.
OK well it downloaded 218 files into the Download folder. I guess obmm is actually contained in “obmm_1_1_12_full_manual-2097.rar”? 4 of the files appear to be unnecessary “file.php” or other useless forefox documents, so I guess it is good to go.
EDIT: Nevermind I know what I did wrong.
Got it installed. As it turns out the trick is to not try to do it when drunk. This is very impressive Jason. One question: I pressed “X” and now everything I look at highlights white. How do I make that stop?
Disable refscope in the load order, it’s a debugging tool.
Is “The Four Elements” questline just Golden Sun 2 ported into oblivion? The quest giver is even named Alex, haha. I’m looking forward to having a giant beholden turn my parents into a 4 headed dragon while Alex ascends to god status at the end of this questline.
EDIT: This just caused me to discover that Golden Sun 3 finally came out. How did I miss that!?
Question for Jason: Is it intentional that I can’t use the spacebar when naming enchanted items or spells? When I hit space it exits out of the item creation screen and goes back to my inventory. It’s not a game breaker or anything, I’ve just been using underscores to add spaces to names of things, but if there’s a simple fix I’d rather do it and have cleaner names for my items.
I’ve never been able to figure out what the hell is causing that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I just use _ instead.
I came back to this recently and realized I never got the UI mod working with my Steam edition. Anyone else run into and fix that? Is the best thing to do just install it normally as an Omod, or does it need to be integrated?
Btw, Oblivion complete or Complete Deluxe (all dlc i guess) for 10 and 12 bucks on Steam today.
Updated to release 18. See first post.

So some poor fellow made a Morrowind Mod pack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NX-MvnYUEs
And two days later had to take it down from all the outrage from the mod authors.
Mod distros like Jason’s, but even easier to install, would be flipping amazing. The modding community around these games would be so awesome if there wasn’t so much hostility towards compilations.
I don’t get it either. I guess they think they’re claiming credit or something? I’ve never seen a good explanation.
