3. Installation (BAIN)

1.) Copy the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.7z into the folder you use for BAIN installers. The default for this would be Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion Mods\.
2.) In the BAIN tab, make sure the UOP file is at the top of the package list. Right click on it, select "Move To" and use slot 0.
3.) Left click on the file after it's moved. Pick the ESP options you want from the Esp/m menu. Then right click on the file and select "Install".
4.) Once installed, enable the .esp files you selected via the Mods tab. It is recommended to run BOSS at this point to verify load order placement.
5.) Make sure you've got some form of archive invalidation set. You can use Wrye Bash, OBMM, or the ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! for this.

If you are updating the UOP from an older version, after making sure Step 2 is done, you can right click the file and select "Anneal" and it will update the files accordingly while also preserving anything later in your setup that needs to override them.

4. Installation (Manual Version)

1.) Extract Unofficial Oblivion Patch.7z into your Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\ folder.
2.) Enable Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp in the Oblivion launcher and the other optional plugins from the package.
3.) Make sure you've got some form of archive invalidation set. You can use Wrye Bash, OBMM, or the ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! for this.

Manual installation of this or any other mod is STRONGLY discouraged. You should make use of Wrye Bash if at all possible. Using OBMM will work, but is not recommended. Absolutely DO NOT use Nexus Mod Manager to install this! NMM does not handle the installation of Oblivion files well and will cause things like missing meshes to crop up in your game because it seems to randomly skip files for no apparent reason.[/url]
