scripted installation - user has to do less work if the mod author adds a script for the OMOD version of the mod, scripts can edit the Oblivion.ini.OBMM was the first comprehensive mod management tool, and only recently since the maturation of Wrye Bash has it been displaced from being the best mod management utility in the eyes of a number of more experienced mod users. no scripting - helps prevent installation errors.no conflict detection - helps prevent installation errors and inter-mod conflicts visible.no automatic BSA redirection - A separate tool such as ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! has to be installed to handle archive invalidation else, the user has to manually implement archive invalidation via Archive Invalidation.txt in the Data folder.note: The utility TES4Files can be installed to help with the uninstallation process as long as the mod has plugins.hard to uninstall - Unless the user only installs one mod or the mods are packed in executables, it is hard to figure out which files to remove.simple - no learning about a new application.It is highly likely that all user's will follow employ this method at some point, especially when large mods (i.e., quest mods) are more quickly installed from their packaged executables.

What are your Mod Installation options Manual and by Executable The best way to get any of these tools and methods to work well together is to become comfortable with their use and how mods overlap each other. You can mix their use in any way you wish, but the following will only prescribe some of the most secure options.

Certain methods of using these two brilliant tools together are pretty much worry free, however. OBMM is much more sensitive to changes in the Data folder that it does not control. One way to think about it is that BAIN's Installation method is much closer to automated manual installation than is OBMM's method of installing mods from OMODs. Reservations about mixing BOSS and BAIN Installation are the same as the first two points made above. There are independent tools that can handle archive invalidation, so manual installation users do not have to worry, but things become a bit messier when you use multiple archive invalidation methodss for different files. OBMM and BAIN have archive invalidation automatically by default, but obviously that is not the case for manual installation. Again, that problem is more pertinent to OBMM. OBMM really has trouble when it comes to plugins added or removed "behind its back." It is harder to cleanup behind manual installation, and the presence of manually installed files that differ from those installed with the utility can result in the utility not cleaning up completely either. In OBMM's case, that can cause the program to give false errors. Mod management utilities cannot intelligently distinguish between files installed by the utility and files installed manually. Installation Methods Reservations about mixing manual installation and utility installation Secondly, you should install utilities to help you manage mods and the rest of your Oblivion setup. First and foremost, you should choose a method by which you will install mods. Think of this as on of the preventive steps against making a mess of your Oblivion setup. If you do not take take any steps to form some kind of plan in your mind, a modded setup can quickly spawn a nightmare array of problems.


Preparing your setup for downloading and installing mods is one of the most important steps of modding Oblivion.
