And your Done! I can confirm this does work!!!

YES! But I don't have CFW.. -.- Oblivion is way better with mods too.

I was trying to do this months ago when CFW came out using some .BSA package creators, but when I ran the game it'd crash at the logo :/
Looks like you got it to work so good job

thanks man gonna try this later

Holy shit this is gonna take a while

Okay, I am sorry, but how the hell do Oblivion's meshes and textures have anything to do with the ones your mod has? Because I'm pretty sure Oblivion's texture and mesh files don't just magically acquire the correct textures... Shouldn't you maybe... oh... I don't know, use the mods textures and meshes? Is that like a mistake or am I missing something here?:???:

lol did you read the tutorial at all? you end up overwriting the files in the original .bsa's with your own meshes and textures. but you need the originals in order to repack them

Am I the only one here who feels ****ing blind? Someone explain to me where the hell the .bsa files are replaced? It doesn't say one thing about your mod's textures and meshes anywhere. Jesus Christ.

It seems your the only one who can't follow, you must be blind if you can't follow this tutorial. Try reading again, because you must have brain damage.

okay step-by-step for the blind and retarded out there:

1. open bsacmd
2. click 'pack'
3. under archive you select the original .BSA (mesh for meshes, and textures for textures)
4. the source directory is the folder that has the meshes or textures in it (FOR YOUR MOD- .nif's and .dds's)
5. click 'pack' again
6. open the .bsa in bsacmd to make sure that all the files are in there
7. rename the BSA to match what your .esp is (MOD.ESP and MOD - MESHES.BSA)
8. put that shit where it belongs
