how to do manually install mods for oblivion on steam

We’ll be using Porting Kit, a nice front end for downloading and managing premade bottles, put together by PaultheTall. You can purchase Steam games for PC games on the Mac version of Steam, and you can download purchased Windows games from GOG just as easily as Mac games.

This guide assumes you've purchased a legal copy of Oblivion: Digital Deluxe Game of the Year Edition from either Steam or GOG. This is where you can type the code to bypass the Steam app when opening the Steam version of Oblivion (see “1a.) Setup for the Steam version” below).

EXE flags: Go to Configuration and look at the text panel near the top.

For GOG, once you have OBSE installed, it should be /GOG Games/Oblivion/obse_loader.exe. For the Steam version, this should be /Program Files/Steam/steam.exe.

Change the Windows EXE: Go to Configuration and look at the top text panel.

Go to Tools, then Change Engine Used, then just pick the engine from the drop-down menu. New engines go in the /Library/Application Support/Wineskin/Engines folder of your Mac.

Change Engine: We’ll need this to update to a 64-bit engine, necessary for installing larger mods.

Just select what you want to uninstall and click “Remove.”

Uninstaller: For uninstalling programs and libraries inside the bottle, and also the best way to see what programs and libraries have been installed.

Select the Libraries tab and use the “New override for library” panel to search. Select the Tools tab, then Config Utility.

Config Utility: Needed to override certain libraries to get mods like ENB, ENBoost, and MoreHeap to run.

It should say something like “Winetricks complete!” in the lower panel once it’s done.

Click the Run button and wait for the installation to complete. Click the little triangle to open the dlls folder, then check the library you want to install. Search for the library or other dependency you wish to install.

Winetricks: Useful for installing libraries and such, among other things.

Make sure to name the app, then click “Save.” Your custom exe should appear in the root of your bottle. Click Browse to find the EXE inside your bottle you wish to create a shortcut for. Select the Tools tab, then Custom EXE Creator.

Custom EXE Creator: For creating exe shortcuts for mod managers and other tools.
