OBMM problems
ok so I just got Oblivion for cheap along with Fallout New Vegas, saw on the NV discussions that theres a pinned modding help guide, well i just downloaded OBMM and started the setup. got to the directory part and went to put it in through progamfiles/steam/oblivion. it told me OBMM must be installed to oblivions installer directory. can any one help or am i just stupid?

The manual download for OBBM contains a .7z (a zipped folder) that contains
  • obmm folder
  • IronMath.dll
  • IronPython.dll
  • OblivionModManager.exe

Extract all these files and folders and drop them in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion
To open and extract .7z files you will need 7zip[7-zip.org]

For the Installer version, just point to the same directory as above.

Also have a look at this guide to help you further:

OBMM, in my opinion, is a bit more trouble than its worth. It's choppy for installing mods.

It's an excellent tool for changing the load order, but I always recommend either manual install or NMM.

To each their own. NMM can't handle large mods all too well, though.

Yes, I can agree on that. NMM is bad for large mods or mods that need configuring. In such cases I tend to manually install; but considering I've been playing Oblivion since release date, manually installing large mods is easier for me. I never really used OBMM for a long time, and when I did, I found the install process to be pretty bad.

Use the correct tools for the job if you do not like OBMM use Bash,I would never advise anyone to use NMM for any game it's clown shoes.

NMM is much better than it used to be, a few years ago it was practically unusable but it works very well now.

Well, it's good for small mods, or mods that advise you to use NMM install. Larger mods, nope.

Also, WyreBash is alright.
