📋 About This Mod
Important note if you are using the 1. 2 patch or Shivering Isles: Phinix has released a patch to eliminate CTD (crash to desktop) problems with spell effects whose duration is shorter than 1 second (but still not instant effects). These are used by e.g. the trap effects of Oscuro\'s Oblivion Overhaul. If you are experiencing such problems and need to install this patch, just do so normally on top of the main Phinix Immersive DarkUI installation, be it manually or by help of this script. This is an installation script for Phinix Immersive DarkUI. It is to be used in conjunction with Timeslip\'s Oblivion Mod Manager. When finished (when you have followed the procedure described below), you will end up with an .omod file which can be opened with Oblivion Mod Manager, and which will automatically install (and uninstall and reinstall) Phinix Immersive DarkUI while keeping all of the choices of a manual installation. The purpose of this guide is not to teach you anything about Oblivion Mod Manager (there\'s far better resources for that), but to make it easier to install Phinix Immersive DarkUI using Oblivion Mod Manager. This is purely OMOD conversion data for Phinix Immersive DarkUI, and you\'ll therefore need Timeslip\'s Oblivion Mod Manager. No part of the original mod is included here. All credits go to Phinix for making this heavily needed compilation/modification, I\'m merely making it a lot easier to install and uninstall. I\'ve tried to make things as clear as possible throughout the installation, but I still advise you to read the official readme to get a clear picture of what it actually does. I\'ve also included an .sfv file to help you check whether or not you\'ve done it correctly, before commencing the final steps. === QUICK VERSION === 1. Download Phinix Immersive DarkUI 1. 2, extract to empty folder 2. Extract the archive downloaded here to the same folder 3. In Oblivion Mod Manager, click Create --> Add folder, choose the folder you just extracted to, click yes to everything Voilá. === THOROUGH VERSION === This may sound tedious, but it\'s a rather small amount of work, and automatic installation, uninstallation and reinstallation of Phinix Immersive DarkUI should be worth it. 1. Download Timeslip\'s Oblivion Mod Manager. I strongly advise you to use the latest version at all times; if you use a too old version, the mod won\'t even install. 2. Download Phinix Immersive DarkUI 1. 2 and unzip it to any empty folder (e.g. C:\\Phinix) 2a. OPTIONAL STEP - Navigate to C:\\Phinix\\_extras and delete the folder there called revertui (you won\'t be needing it, because Oblivion Mod Manager will revert things for you when you uninstall). 3. Extract this archive (yep, this one with the OMOD conversion data) to the exact same folder as before (in our example, C:\\Phinix). This should place three elements in C:\\Phinix - a folder called omod
