OK, there's lots of clever people on this forum. Here's my problems: Installed The Balmora Expansion. Got two error messages when I arrive in Balmora. 1. missing terrain_rock_wg_14.nif 2. missing furn_de_signpost_02.nif Yet both are found in the original and I don't get any error messages. Decided to replace furn_de_signpost_02 with 01. Perfect! Tried replacing terrain_rock_wg_14 with 16, both piddley little rocks. 16 is also used extensively in the game so I thought it would be alright. But now the error message says "missing terrain_rock_wg_16.nif in master file" What's going on? One solution would be to work thorough the esp in CS and delete each of the troublesome rocks. Mind you, having done a replace of all wg_14 rocks for wg_16 that means I've now got LOTS of rocks to play with! I'm putting this up here as there is no mention of the problem from anybody else so it's probably just me again!

Well i did get a rock missing error but it was being caused by balmora unmod being loaded with balmora expansion, it went as soon as i removed it. I know it says that it's compatible with that mod so long as it's loaded first, well it is and i still got it. V1.2 has sorted the windows glow problem with the temple though. And i haven't had a signpost error but then i've not explored all of it yet. they tend to pop up when it loads th next cell. Oh and i did clean it with testool before i played, it had the thing about tribunal having changed sinsce this mod was last saved, so i ran testool to see if it would clear it, which it did, and it did remove or change some stuff. Perhaps you should try cleaning it with that as well Found the entertainment district yesterday, the zoo's good ;D

word of caution with using testool to clean Balmora expanded Cali. Theres 5 Dialogues that must not be cleaned by all accounts. Set the options in testools to restricted dialogue cleaning then clean the Mod.
Balmora expanded only changes 5 dialogues anyway so by setting restricted dialogue cleaning you are not letting anything slip through that shouldn't
I ran it and it cleaned 500 odd other items though.

I've learned not to mess with testool's "cleaning" I mainly use it for a leveled list merger but even then you apparently have to run that other utility now afterwards. TEStool was a nice try but as far as I am concerned there's just too many variables and things that might look unclean and may not be and I've just had it hose too many mods.

I've never used TESTool myself; I'll probably use it as a dialogue merger when I need to, but I've always used TESAME...

Well i normally use tesame to clean mods, i just did that cos i was being lazy ;D i couldn't be bothered to fire up the cs and resave the mod to get rid of the tribunal thingy.

Oh i have that i didn't want to remove a dependancy just update the file so it doesn't say about tribunal having changed, i recently reinstalled so i suppose my tribunal file date is newer than BE's one.

Oh that, that's a royal pain in the ass, I wish there was a way to just turn those messages off.

Err, thanks for all that but.....
As I see it I can run TesTools disabling the dialog thingy or dl the whatnot that Motoki suggested.
I'm really sorry guys, I need help like, *Press button A then cut the red wire and then run away!"
