This group can go anywhere, but having it installed first (at least in BAIN) may make more sense, as these files are truly installed first (when you install Oblivion from the disc or Steam).

This group is useful for restoring the backed up folders after using UI mods, video replacers, etc.

Conflicts: every replacer that replaces files in the contained folders.

Content: Video archive, Shaders archive, Music archive.

The Install Order Note: Most examples mentioned in this list are linked in Types of Mods. The numbers on the following groups match the general priority of installation in the package list.

Like wise, mods that should be installed 'before' another mod should have lower priority, smaller numbers. Note: BAIN users, install 'later' and 'after' means should have higher priority, a bigger number, in the package list.

The goal of the organization below is to have the fewest logical groupings, while minimizing 'exceptions.' That makes it a good skeleton for organizing BAIN packages as well.

Most mods do not overlap with each other so much that there is a specific installation order for most mods therefore, acknowledging some basic shared properties of various types of mods, most modified setup could be installed in one go (if using a utility the affords ordered installation).

This is a guide to help expedite the process of figuring out the order in which to install multiple mods, especially large numbers of them.
