I see purple textures and/or squares with yellow exclamation signs. What is the problem?
Purple textures mean that a model is not finding the intended texture to use as a wrapper to its shape. Textures wrap around models and give them unique looks. Oblivion assigns the model a default deep purple texture whenever it cannot find the texture that the model asks it to display. Exclamation signs appear when the Oblivion engine wants to display a certain model, and it looks for it in a certain resource location, but does not find it. Oblivion defaults a square model with an exclamation sign, in this case, to be displayed. If you see any of this, it means that Oblivion is not finding textures or models where it is told that they should be. Usually, this means that you have not properly installed the content folders extracted by the OOO.exe. You must make sure that you extract the contents of OOO.exe into your \Oblivion\Data folder. If you installed elsewhere, then you need to make sure that you move the folders “Meshes” and “Textures” into your \Oblivion\Data folder. If this doe
