bro. wanted to play this game with mods for weeks. 15 min video here. 46 min video there. overwhelming...a bit, just didn't think i had the time. this is perfect. thank the 9!
Thanks for just being simple So many channels say “simple” way to install mods then go on to explain in detail why I need a computer science degree first to install mods😂
OMG TY!! It’s late so I haven’t been able to do all of this yet but I will hop to it first thing in the morning. I’ve been wanting to play modded oblivion for so long I can finally do it!
thanks bro! Easy and direct tutorial, without needing to download another 2 or 3 mod management programs, I'll test it later but apparently I managed to install all the correction patches I wanted without errors or conflicts ;)
You literally taught this better than anybody else that I’ve watched videos from!!!!! I couldn’t figure it out to save my life and you helped me do it in less than 10 minutes🎉 you’re the goat thank you
Thank you very much for this, I'm using a translator to write (I'm from the Spanish section) and this was the only video that helped me after searching in both languages for a tutorial, I can't express how grateful I am 💗
Thank you for the short and straight to the point vid. I'm just trying to install a handful of basic mods and tweaks for stability and the installation guide on nexus is very vague and obviously assumes I already know what do. Also tried to use mod managers to make it "easier" and they just confuse everything even more and seem to be more trouble than they're worth unless I have a step by step guide.
So I used this method to install the Unofficial Oblivion patch and copied over the .esp like you show how to do in this tutorial. Now when playing the game, all over the world i see giant yellow boxes with an exclamation point. I see a lot of people saying that it's due to missing meshes. Was there anything else I was supposed to do?
Those mods aren't basic mods, mods that require textures and meshes should be installed into the data folder alongside the .esp for manually, id recommend you to using OBMM or MO2 for oblivion!
Never heard of it but most likely a asset mod best if you look it up bc each mod probably requires something different like wyre bash or BOSS I haven’t covered those yet sorry all I can do is advice you to TH-cam or forums.
The catch is that true modding experience for Oblivion is spending 75% of your time troubleshooting compatibility and CTD using utilities like TES4edit, wyre bash, etc to fix things. I'm reminded why I dropped the game, due to the questline flag systems triggers something that causes a CTD when using doors.
So you’re just downloading and installing all these mods manually and not using any of the mod managers (OBMM, Wryebash) correct? Or using BOSS/LOOT to organize them? I guess that’s one way to do it. But don’t you technically have to use a Mod manger for some of the mods to actually work ?
Best way is to obviously use a mod manager but some people do it manually, I'd just recommend making a folder/s inside the directory it should still detect the mods, if it doesn't then I'd say use a mod manager
@@mantasjango I've never played Oblivion before so just quality of life stuff that doesn't change the base game too much, also I don't know how to install OBMM and I don't want stuf installing to my C drive lol Also I really appreciate you for replying
I can't whip up some mods rn because I've been out of tune for oblivion modding for awhile but this video has some great mods for what your looking for, th-cam.com/video/_L3np5_gUdI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sfiNPy1JDgb3IXjm How to install OBMM- th-cam.com/video/gzLq1ozIQiI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JNOCCjpYeyGwSRFa
Thanks for this, it works great for that particular mod. How do I install other ones? FOr example I see you have better cities installed. That's the one I am trying to get to work now, very unsuccessfully I might add lol. Any help would be widely appreciated
God it's been so long since I installed mods 😂. But if it came with a "assets" folder or anything graphical related it has to be installed in the oblivion assets folder primarily, if I remember correctly there should be a few options for the better cities I don't think you can have all em of. I don't remember to be honest but it should be as simple as just putting the assets folder in to oblivion directory
I checked all my installed mods with a cross before starting the game, but all my mods are not working ingame. Do you know what could be the problem there? :(
@@mantasjango yeah I checked that again, I Downloaded obse and draged all the Data into the oblivion folder. Man I dont know what this is. I will delete everything and try it again
Hey, this is a dumb question but I see a lot of "OMOD" files for mods, how do I install them? Is it just the same thing of dropping them in the data file?
Sorry for late response busy lately but OMOD is just a extension for the oblivion mod manager (OBMM) it's just used to apply the mods in obmm not necessary🙏
Should I use the Vortex mod manager from nexus just to quit the hassle or should I do it manually or use mod manager because using vortex will make the mods to not work ?
Vortex and oblivion have a history of not cooperating, sure maybe most of the mods u decide to install w vortex will work. But it’s not guaranteed and will sometimes break, manually installing it is recommended or use OBMM!
Thanks man I appreciate your advice and I'm also grateful for you to make such a very simple how to video, and believe me most of the other "simple" videos are really hard to follow.
Your welcome glad to help Out anyway I can! If you have any other questions always feel free to ask. And also I agree a lot of em were painful for even me to watch 😂
@@mantasjango thanks for the response. It's actually quite complicated. All I wanted was to install a leveling mod and the detect leveled items mod haha I'm struggling to get the former working
@@mantasjango well the auto level items mod I think works fine because I only need to copy one file. The ultimate leveling mod has loads of different files I'm unsure where to copy
It could be because you have another mod installed that is stopping the centaur mod from working properly, or it’s probably needs for you to install the audio and images and model of the centaur
There are some mods that won’t work sadly only the fun ones, but the simpler ones might work. OBSE doesn’t run well with cracked oblivion and most mods don’t either. But you can try to do cracked with some mods u want it’s the same process as in the video
I have a question. Can I delete what I downloaded? I pasted the files into the oblivion folder and it worked. Now I don't need the files that I downloaded, because their copies are where they should be, right?
thanks for your response:) but I like to keep my folders clean. I was asking If I could delete the files that I downloaded because their copies are where they should be. I basically have two instances of those files. One instance where downloaded files always go by default, one in one of the oblivion's folders where they should be to make mods work (Everything worked) thanks@@mantasjango
I try my best to make the process as simple as possible for people to follow and i try to make it as short as possible to save yours and other peoples times!

@@mantasjango appreciate you 👌🏾
And if i want graphic mods do i download and copy paste them into data files aswell?@mantasjango
@adaminoobthe3d823 Not exactly, you have to either use OBMM for it and download it that way or manually paste it into the graphics folder
Thanks man, I'm looking for this. Digeleri was explaining for a very long time.
Of course glad to help 😂
Thanks for having a straight forward simple guide. Appreciate you.
No problem, I really appreciate it.😃

Brand new to modding, this helped a lot. Thanks fam
Your welcome just keep in mind not every mod works with just OBSE, some require blockhead, BOSS etc
@@mantasjango any tutorials on those as well? I'm doing everything to avoid bricking my computer
Not on my channel but I’m sure you’ll find some good tutorials on YT to guide you

Excellent guide, top job mate.
Much appreciated 🙏
Likewise mate, first mod I ever downloaded thanks to you :D @@mantasjango
I'm gonna do this, just one question before I actually go ahead:
Will I keep my game saves if I do this?
It depends what mods you download, generally when modding it’s a good idea to create a backup of all your saves!
@@mantasjango Thanks man. Video was great, really easy to follow and didn't faff around. Earned a sub, keep up the great work.
Appreciate it very much, Enjoy modding!!
@@mantasjango Oh, does the OSBE work with the GOTY Deluxe version?
It works with all versions!
I am just getting back into oblivion after 15 years, and I think I wanna kiss you for making this video. LOL
Glad you enjoyed it have fun modding in oblivion 😂!! Ps. About that kiss 🙄
Also After I did everything in the video none of the mods showed up in the data files
Sorry for late reply but what mod was it if it was a graphical overhaul or uo then it needs to be installed in graphics folder and assets etc
It was just cloaks and capes

Your very welcome!
The catch is that true modding experience for Oblivion is spending 75% of your time troubleshooting compatibility and CTD using utilities like TES4edit, wyre bash, etc to fix things.
I'm reminded why I dropped the game, due to the questline flag systems triggers something that causes a CTD when using doors.
That’s with Skyrim too and most games I hate it so much with every fibre of my being but it has to be done wouldn’t be a experience otherwise
none of the mods I installed have an esp file but I copied them into the data file and launched the game and theres nothing to tick on data files
When you launch oblivion through steam there should be the window that pops up like at 2:54 it’s right under the play button
Did you install OBSE?
So you’re just downloading and installing all these mods manually and not using any of the mod managers (OBMM, Wryebash) correct? Or using BOSS/LOOT to organize them? I guess that’s one way to do it. But don’t you technically have to use a Mod manger for some of the mods to actually work ?
For some Mods you do, I'm going to be working on a video soon on how to set up OBMM, BOSS etc.
Straight to the point !!!
Your welcome:)
What if they don't show up in the data files menu?
The mods don’t show up or something else?
@@mantasjango The mods, I put the DaRNified UI mod in my data folder, but it doesn't show up in the data files menu
Darnified is more of a texture pack mod it doesn’t really work like most mods, I’m sure you will find a good tutorial on TH-cam about it
Thank you
So I'm guessing no one uses vortex anymore or is this the only way for mods to load up easily?
Some do, but the majority either manually install them or some using OBMM (oblivion mod manager)
Since we are downloading manually, how do I keep the file directory clean and resolve any conflicts?
Best way is to obviously use a mod manager but some people do it manually, I'd just recommend making a folder/s inside the directory it should still detect the mods, if it doesn't then I'd say use a mod manager
@@mantasjango okay thank you, do you know if you can make a tutorial on mod managers and the best mods to install?
I haven't uploaded in a long time but what kind of mods are you looking for? And the best mod manager out there in my opinion is OBMM.
@@mantasjango I've never played Oblivion before so just quality of life stuff that doesn't change the base game too much, also I don't know how to install OBMM and I don't want stuf installing to my C drive lol
Also I really appreciate you for replying

Love the music choices 😂
Thanks 😂 chose something that would suit this video 😂
@@mantasjango Yeah whenever I hear this music I just think of those recordings of public freaks lmao
😂 that’s isn’t my first thought but it’s definitely something unique 😂
Everytime I download a mod it won’t let me get to the ESP file. Anyone know why?
It depends on the type of mod you are using what would it be ?
thx for the help😁
Bruh sometimes i wish i knew someone like u who knows modding and stuff :(
Thanks means a lot:D if you ever need any help jus ask me !
@@mantasjango so can i ask if the creator on the mod changes from the bethesda to anythign else does this mean it worked ?
@@mantasjango sorry if i sound cringe english isnt one of my skills
What do u mean exactly, because I don't really understand what you mean sorry
DW mines not good either 😔
How about install for Unofficial Patch, is it same?
Yea it’s pretty much the same process
I’ve tried doing this on steamdeck but it doesn’t let me paste the files
Steamdeck is relatively new probably can’t mod games if I find a way I will let you know😎
Does it work if I have the original 2006 DVD version instead of Steam version?
If the the retail version will work, I’m not 100% sure but try getting one mod it might!
Thanks for this, it works great for that particular mod. How do I install other ones? FOr example I see you have better cities installed. That's the one I am trying to get to work now, very unsuccessfully I might add lol. Any help would be widely appreciated

Do you have obse installed or did you install in correctly because sometimes you might of missed something?
@@mantasjango yeah I checked that again, I Downloaded obse and draged all the Data into the oblivion folder. Man I dont know what this is. I will delete everything and try it again
can i install these mods even if i have the game from CD and not on steam? Bc i have the CD and installed it this way
You can mod it, if it’s the old disc then no, but if it’s the new disc then yes you can mod it!
@@mantasjango thanks for the fast reply. My CD is from ,,Green pepper" idk If its old. How so i know?
Depending on the age rating, either way you can probably mod since I doubt you got oblivion on disc when it first came out right ?
@@mantasjango yes. I try It again later. Thx to you

Hey, this is a dumb question but I see a lot of "OMOD" files for mods, how do I install them? Is it just the same thing of dropping them in the data file?
Sorry for late response busy lately but OMOD is just a extension for the oblivion mod manager (OBMM) it's just used to apply the mods in obmm not necessary🙏
There are some mods I got from Nexus that doesn't say "ESP", What do I do in that scenario?
That’s probably graphics and ui overhaul or something most likely mods that don’t have ESP most likely have to be put in the graphics folder
Soo..GOG version?
Some mods I downloaded came out as ESS but some are 7z even though I downloaded them all from Nexus
How do I fix this?
From what I understand ESS files are game saves, and the 7z is a bit unclear I’m guessing when you extracted something, the outcome was “This mod.7z”?
Noob here, Does it have to be an “esp” file on every mod or just this one?
On most mods there’s an ESP file, some mods requires you to paste folders into graphics and assets folders I’ll cover those soon
Does it work for the GOG Oblivion version of the game?
The GOG version is a bit more finicky it’s harder but doable
@@mantasjango My ass got the "isntall blockhead" faces. I'm fixing it rn.
Common mistake don’t worry
@@mantasjango What do you think of wyre bash, people say OBSE is kind of outdated so you should use the former and not the latter.
@fallasleep9472 OBSE is definitely not outdated it’s one of the most critical components of modding in oblivion
Great video thankyou
Your very welcome
So does it matter which "Alternate Start" version i download?
Get primarily the ones on nexus, if recommend a manual Indtisll but if you want vortex go for it should work, as for versions always get the latest
