This is an Oblivion life saver! It fixes the absolute pain in the butt of random mods just NOT working no matter how perfectly right you've installed them. Some work, others don't and for no reason...yep, that thing. Absolutely essential mod, this will forever be in my Oblivion modding. I wish I knew about this mod sooner, I only just found it and saw a couple not-well-explained references to it floating about the internet, so I assumed it was a BSA viewer and passed.
And like that, all my mods JUST WORK again like they used to back in the day. No more being gaslit by Oblivion never knowing if a mod is working, half working, sometimes working, not working at all... hopefully.
In my case, my .bsa files had a semi recent date modified/created timestamps, so mods with older timestamps than them would just not get loaded by the game even though they were checked and being loaded by the game, but they weren't, but they were?! SkyBSA just took all that and said "yeah, no."
How does this gizmo handle bsa that have been registered in the oblivion.ini file? I was considering just adding mod .bsa files that have a dummy plugin only to registering those files in the oblivion.ini
Would that work with this mod, How does it prioritize that throughput? If two bsa registered on the oblivion.ini handle the same file ... what would be the result. thanks
wrye bash? I'm not using MO2... should i just paste the files into the data folder?
edit: reading through the post history apparently to get this mod to work properly I need OBSE? when getting started in setting everything up for modding Oblivion i chose xOBSE... as stated in the comment thread this mod doesn't work with xOBS, and i've only found out about this mod now that i've downloaded a handful of mods and things that those mods required. what should i do?
Here's a note for others: the game will not load BSAs with commas in their names. Therefore, do not use Bashed Patch, 0.esp for your BSAs. Make a copy of DLCShiveringIsles.esp or use some other mod like Ascension.esp.
Could you tell me more about this? Not quite understanding.
I'm using I'm getting purple NPC faces, disabling either skyBSA or the shivering isles UOP makes them go away, but i'd rather use both. Wondering if it's related to this?
I also had to drop the .dll in Oblivion/Data/OBSE/Plugins for it to work. Latest Mod Organizer 2 and fresh install of the game with only a handful of texture mods- beyond my understanding. Works great tho!
I'm having an issue with certain loose files not loading in the game even with this mod installed. I can't figure out what's wrong. Is there something I can do on SkyBSA's end to "force" loose file loading?

One pain of modding out the window! Thank you!

(using Heartland wabbajack modlist)
An absolute must-have for every mod installation. Even if you're using Mod Organizer 2 or Wrye Bash or both. Install this too.
Installing in my Mo2 simply didn't work, I noticed my NortherUI options were not showing up.
every oblivion mod that wasn't working fires to life. :D Amazing
thank you so much.
