Edit: Solved my problem.

Reinstalled the game and all updates + official mods.

Can use player created mods now.

My first guess is you are using Vista. Oblivion mods have some problems with Vista.

Quoted from the Oblivion Mods FAQ WIKI

Using VISTA only: If you have downloaded and installed, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game. Then you should reinstall Oblivion into a different directory instead of the default.

Installing mods on a Windows Vista system is bit trickier than it is on Windows XP due to Vista's increased security.

For best results, it is recommended to install Oblivion to a location other than the default C:\Program Files\ folder. Another location such as C:\Oblivion\ or D:\games\Oblivion\ will work better. This will avoid the file permission problems many users have experienced due to the increased security restrictions Vista places on the Program Files folder.

Wiki entry on installing Oblivion in Vista: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Windows_Vista

If you can't, or just don't want to reinstall Oblivion, try this.

Vista users may have to disable a security function known as UAC. If you have downloaded and installed, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game check to see if UAC is turned on. If so. Look here for instructions on how to turn it off. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...-windows-vista/

I read that too.

Unfortunately, I'm not using Vista.

Windows XP.

Most No Cd cracks work, but there are some that don't.
I have a set of help files for people new to mods. They can be used for troubleshooting.

Start with #1, download 7-zip and the test file and proceed from there.


Edit: Your Sig is over the limit allowed.

From the rules:
# Avatar pics MUST only be 65x65 pixels big and the types of files that can be uploaded are GIF, JPEG, JPG and PNG. If they are animated, they can only be minor and below 30kb in size.
# Sig's can only be 450w x 300h pixels in size...this includes TEXT and PICTURES. For text, thats about 8 lines max. Max file size 110kb, this doesn't leave much for animation.

Could you shrink it to fit please.

Eh.. Still having issues.


Everything seems perfect, the mods just wont show up in-game.

I'm having the same problem, but I am using Vista. I have reinstalled to a different directory and disabled UAC. I am not using a no-cd crack. Any other ideas as to what the problem could be?

Are you using the 64 bit version of Vista? It seems to have an entirely new set of difficulties with Oblivion.

Nope, 32 bit.
