Installation Guide with Lovers, MBP and Wyre with Bashed Patch

[LongDukDong]

Posted only just last night in the LAPF thread itself... instructions how to redirect STEAM installation folders... including outside of Program Files itself.  Obviously, steam itself wasn't being considered when making the installation instructions for LAPF.  So it might be a good idea to ask a moderator to include the link within the instructions.

 

Dunno when, how or who...

Of course you can play the game if it's not in C : / program files

Maybe there is probem if Steam is in C : / program files and the game in another folder. But  I once had Steam and Skyrim in D  and Fallout NewVegas in F and it all worked.

My Oblivion is a disc version so I don't know if there is a problem if Steam and Game are in different folders..

But you should move Steam out of the C : / program files folder to a new game folder and there you can install all the games.

Just in case, I added the instructions from Steam itself on changing the location of the Steam installation folder from Program Files.  I cannot alter the main post, nor the original pack's installation instructions.  It would be great if that could be altered to include the steam instructions assuming they be read.

Is this still accurate as of 2023?

[LongDukDong]

Not 'wholly' accurate as Nexus Mods changed their forum structure.  So the URLs will not exactly work.  The Topic IDs are accurate, just that the instructions are using an older URL Link structure than what Nexus is now.

Example (For Elys Universal Silent Voice):
(Old style - Broken):      http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/16622

(New style - Working):   https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/16622
 

But MOSTLY accurate.

 

As to the instructions that come with the LAPF package, that too suffers that fate.  The instructions that are included in the LAPF download have out-of-date URLs that should be corrected.

But if you are interested, I have this:
https://www.loverslab.com/topic/21241-lapf/page/59/#comment-3570818

On this page I basically posted a slightly tweaked edition of the instructions that comes with LAPF, the links corrected to current Nexus Mods standard.  Consider looking at both, though I just use the base installation as comes with LAPF itself.

 

Do remember:  Do not install Oblivion in any Program Files path that the Installation suggests.   And my instructions includes a snippet for Steam users that the original set did not include (as steam wasn't an issue then).
