Qarls Texture Pack

[Grizzly14]

So I recently started modding oblivion for the first time, and I'm finding it really frustrating. I've been trying to install Qarls Texture Pack III with OBMM, I downloaded the full all in one OMOD file, placed it in the mods folder, loaded up OBMM installed it with no issues, the square turned blue, however when I tried to use archive invalidation and i got an error:The path is not legal, so instead I tried BSA redirection and it worked, I launched the game loaded a save, and noticed no difference, whatsoever. I've been looking all over the place, to try and solve my problem, with no success.

Thanks.

Launched the game and loaded a save <---- that is most likely your issue.

Try starting a new game and see if there is any difference.

 

BSA redirection is actually what you need to do.  Any other type of archive invalidation is not advisable unless a plugin specifically requires it.
