Did you archive invalidate via bsa redirection?

Do you have the game installed in the program files directory?

1. Tried but no luck

2. Huh I guess it might be worth a shot to move it out but I dont see how that would cause an issue.

[Guest Spikes]

If you install in Program files, you'll probs have messed stuff in OBL., specially a modded one. Something to do with how Windows protect that folder.

Having it installed in your program files directory will be the biggest issue you will ever have if you are trying to mod the game. Been there. Done that.

[gregathit]

As both Spikes and Garcemac stated, installing any game you intend to mod into the program files directory with Win8, Win7 or Vista, is a one way ticket to frustration.

This is due to UAC and permissions issues.  Some things will work fine, others won't work at all.  It gives unpredictable results and introduces untraceable inconsistencies that will haunt you.

 

It is your call.

[AhegaoAmbrosia]

Hmm reinstalled to C:/Games and STILL nothing... Is there anything else i could have missed?

[gregathit]

Did you archive invalidate via bsa redirection with OBMM?

Did you start a new game?

 

Also, try rebuilding your bashed patch.

Yes to all three and still nothing.

Whats the usual path for eye textures? Because searching the folders only show Non-vanilla if that makes a difference.

[fejeena]

Textures\characters\eyes in  Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa and DLCShiveringIsles - Textures.bsa

 

 

Oblivion:

eyekhajiit.dds

eyebrown.dds

eyegreen.dds

eyedefault.dds ( the blue)

eyevampire.dds

eyeargonian.dds

eyereanimate.dds

eyeorc.dds

eyedarkelf.dds

eyedremora.dds

 

ShiveringIsles:

eyeblind.dds

eyeorder.dds

eyesaint.dds

eyeseducer.dds

 

! Yes there is no  _n.dds in the Folder !

 

 

 

Vanilla eye textures looks like this

 

Some race Mods have eye textures like this

So vanilla eye meshes which use such a texture looks weird, and eye meshes of the custom race looks weired with vanilla textures.

But normally not total black.

So ive noticed that modded eyes DO actually appear they just dont face forward at all... Maybe a mesh?

[AhegaoAmbrosia]

Is there a mesh path im missing maybe? Ive installed via omod so that SHOULD have been ok.

[fejeena]

Yes that's a mesh Problem.

Do all races have eye Problems? Vanilla and custom races?

 

Vanilla eye meshes

meshes\characters\argonian\eyeleftargonian.nif and eyerightargonian.nif

meshes\characters\imperial\eyelefthuman.nif and eyerighthuman.nif

 

If you have these meshes in the  loose Folders, delete them (first back up the nif's)

But then it could be that all the new MBP eye textures are messed up.

 

[AhegaoAmbrosia]

Ok I think Omod might not be workin properly as the omod made cant be opened, is there another way to install?

[fejeena]

?? The Omod is not working in game? Or you want to open the Omod?

 

You can unpack the omod in a seperate Folder and then install the loose Folders.

Unpack Omod: in the Modmanager  right click at the Omod and choose "Extract to folder"

 

different eye meshes texture placement.

 

 

custom race eye mesh texture placement

vanilla mesh texture placement

That what I meant, when I extract the resulting rar file cannot be opened.

[fejeena]

rar? If you choose "Extract to Folder" you have no rar/zip or 7z you have the Folders (unpacked)

Never heard that, a rar in an Omod. ?

 

Edit: ????

If the mod is packed in rar it is not installed. No esp no Folders, not active in the mod Manager. And it can not conflicts with the vanilla eyes. ????

Or have I misunderstood something? 

Which mod?

[AhegaoAmbrosia]

I was using the wrong utility I tried the correct one AND IT WORKED! Thank you for the advice
