Can someone explain to me how to install the Face Overhaul mod in detail?

[RollingTim]

Because Im stupid and suck at modding I have no idea what im doing and the readme file doesnt really help me. Can someone explain to me how to do it in better detail?

I'm assuming you mean Oblivion character overhaul V2?

[RollingTim]

yes

First you will need this https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/37952
Then download this https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/43752/?
once you extract OBSE, open the readme text file and it will tell you exactly which files you want for the steam version.

have two windows folders open side by side, the OBSE download folder and your Oblivion folder where your steam installs go. You'll notice that your oblivion folder has a subfolder called "data" the mods you download will also be packed in and around a folder of the same name. this is so you can easily just drag and drop to have windows merge the folders ez pz

so control click the data folder, obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_steam_loader.dll from the OBSE folder and drag it right into your oblivion install folder and it will simply put the contents of the mods data in with your existing data

Then do the same for Blockhead, mind the OBSE folder name. when you installed OBSE it will make that same folder name in your Oblivion Data folder. So, following the same logic, you just want to drag Blockhead's "OBSE' folder into your Oblivion Data folder and since there will be 2 folders of the same name, they will simply merge together

Next the actual character overhaul mod is in a Data folder, so drag that into you Oblivion folder since it has a Data folder to merge with.

TBH I feel like I explained it in a way that makes it sound complicated but I'm just trying to get across how simply it actually works. since they're packed into identical folder structures as your obllivion files, it's a pretty simple process once you understand it. Its doesn't have to be done in exactly the way I explained, as long as the files end up in their correct corresponding place.

Also, OBSE needs to be done in this way but I imagine Blockhead and the overhaul could just be dropped into a modloader and it will handle putting them in the right places. not required though. only real benefit to that is that the loader makes removing the relevant files a little easier when you want

[Bittamin]

If you want to give everybody rocking bods and killer abs its a somewhat more involved process to prevent a neckline seam with the face overhaul. But I can help point you in the right direction for that if you want

Thank you.

Oblivions faces look real af tbh don't know why you would want everyone looking like a model. That ain't real.

[RollingTim]

I hope this is sarcasm

Don't worry, even after Oblivion Character Overhaul V2 everyone still look not that good
