The mod's info page here on nexusmods.com with "Installation" in the subheading contains literally zero words about how to install.
Instead of containing any information about how to install, the info section instead says something about "OBSE. Standard."
This seems like an April Fool's joke. With such an obvious oversight on the info page, plus the lack of any readme with the zip file, it's hard to trust a developer enough to download and use their code with my game. How can that be safe?
I’ve called out the details salient to most people when installing this, namely that you need a working OBSE installation and that this mod can otherwise be installed with whatever method you’ve chosen to manage all your other mods. You can use Vortex, Wrye Bash, Nexus Mod Manager, manually extract the .esp file to your data folder and update the plugins.txt file, you name it. There are many different ways to handle this, so the clearest thing I can express is that there are no surprises here and whatever you’ve been doing for other mods will continue to work.
You may be new to modding Oblivion and unfamiliar with the process. Nothing wrong with that, but the various modding workflows have been established over nearly 20 years. If you read that installation is standard and don’t know what that means, I’d encourage you to look up how to mod Oblivion. There should be tons of resources available to get up to speed with things. This information is generally not rewritten across thousands of mod descriptions because it’d be the same information every time, there are many equally valid ways to do it, and everyone either already knows or can easily find that information elsewhere.
Questioning my integrity is unnecessary. Seeking out the fundamentals is always going to be your responsibility when modding a new game. Happy to help if you get stuck though.
Seems like a great mod, but there's no instructions (2 comments)
