I saw two mods that went with each other; the elven redux map with the island needed for castle dunkerlore and the dunkerlore mod. When I installed the second one, the whole map went vanilla except that island where the dunkerlore castle is. Please help me out. Was there a certain order? Should I have installed the castle first and then the island and map after that?

I've tried re-installing the map, and I followed the instructions by moving the data file into my oblivion file. I also did as the instructions said to do when it came to opening the archive invalidation and copying and pasting the mod AI into my already existing AI, amending it and remembering to save it.

No luck. Still vanilla. :/

I'm an idiot when it comes to computers and I am begging and pleading for some help with this map and castle thing.

EDIT: nevermind - turns out that I was just idiotic enough to have ended up with like 3 copies of everything in my archive invalidation folder and simply deleting the extras solved the problem

works like a dream now

One thing that may save you from some headaches is OBMM, it simplifies the archive invalidation.
