OBSE not working properly?
I installed OBSE and Mod Organizer and MO detects that its installed and OBSE Tester says this: OBSE not working properly. one of to things, not installed correctly or you can also run obse_loader.exe to get it working properly. I have the Steam version so if I run obse_loader.exe it says I need to run the game through steam, so what do I do to fix this?



I followed this video on installing OBSE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edB_LFNOdyM)

Make sure that you installed obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_steam_loader.dll, and the Data folder into your Oblivion folder and not the Data folder.

Make sure the Steam overlay is activated.

If it still doesn't work you can try installing the obse_steam_loader.dll from the OBSE 0017b download.

Did you try all three?

Did you try deleting the Oblivion.ini file? Did you try installing the game in a different directory?

From a Youtube comment in Oblivion | How to install mods | Part 1: Intro (edited version):

Here are the things you have to do
Note: If you already have experiences in modding Skyrim (PC) with MO, this'll be a walk in a park for you. Nonetheless, hopefully this'll help you fix the issue and learn the capabilities of MO.

1. In MO, go to Settings (Wrench and Screwdriver icon) -> Workarounds and set the Load Mechanism to Script Extender. Click OK to exit.

2. Next, start the Modify Executables which has a green and blue gears icon on the upper left.

3. Give the executable a Title. I called mine 'Steam'.

4. In the Binary box, navigate to where you have steam installed. In my case it is D:\Steam\Steam.exe.

5. In the Arguments box, add the following argument -applaunch 22330. Click Add and then Close.

6. In the executable selector next to Run, select your new executable and press Run. The configuration panel will open up. Click Play and enjoy.

In addition,

Installing mods that has a file located in Data\OBSE\Plugins folder
Before I mention anything, I suggest you first try playing Oblivion without doing the following couple of paragraphs. A good way of checking if it works is installing Enhanced Camera[www.nexusmods.com] through Mod Organizer and check if you could see your body in First Person.

Anyway, if a mod has a file installed in OBSE\Plugins, you have to install that file MANUALLY in the main Data folder. Mine doesn't seem work when it's not installed on the main Data folder which is why I suggested this.

The same files on the MO virtual Data Folder can overwrite the changes on the ones in the main Data folder. You could do this by manually installing it on the Data folder and also installing the same file on Mod Organizer (meaning, one for Oblivion's main Data folder, and another one for Mod Organizer's virtual Data folder).

I'm guessing there's an easier way to make it work, but this runs the game really well for me so far.

Try installing the mods manually inside the main Data folder and check if it works.

- If the first part worked, leave it that way (don't uninstall the mod) and then run the game through MO and see if it works.
- - If the second part worked, that could mean there are files that needs to be installed manually in order for the mod to work.
- - If not, then something's wrong with MO's configuration or something on your PC needs to be adjusted.

- If not, that could either mean OBSE isn't installed correctly or something on your PC needs to be adjusted.
