have you downloaded the big

have you downloaded the big file? You need that aswell its the main assets of the mod:

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B53JtcN4hGiLOFFNZWZjeUlUUkk&export=download

if you get an error message its because the download quota is full so you'll need to wait for a while (i'd say no less than 12 hours to make sure there are available download slots again.

Then open up the Oblivion launcher, then data files and make sure the morroblivion esm is marked active. Then load up the game, new game and it should start up for you

ah right if you downloaded

ah right if you downloaded thermadors big file i mentioned it includes his transport mod with it and this is how it starts. That message you got shows that the mod is installed so to access Vvardenfell with your current save you have to find 2 NPCs added to the game Jo'Tesh is on the deck of the ship outside Seyda Neen during the daytime.  Kisimba is in the Imperial City Prison Courtyard during the daytime.

Jo'Tesh: http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/8153/screenshot1ar.jpg

Kisimba: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/2823/screenshot5uf.jpg

Pay them 1000 Gold & they will take you back & forth between Vvardenfell & Cyrodiil

Erm thats messed up you are

Erm thats messed up you are missing a lot of meshes & textures. Just to clarify you did download the big file aswell it is vital that is installed aswell.

Check your load order aswell, i think morroblivion should be loaded pretty soon after Oblivion

how odd!

This is going to sound like a pain but i'd suggest you uninstall everything, reinstall Oblivion, Morrowind all their official expansions & patches, the morroblivion big file & then the morroblivion master file & check Morrowind_ob.esm in the data files. This should give you a clean Morroblivion install. Also, make sure your texture size is set to large aswell.

make sure you have the right matching versions aswell i.e. the big file will have to be version 052 (lastest) aswell as the master

No texture size doesn't have

No texture size doesn't have to be i just think it causes less problems with that. The big file you just extract into your Oblivion directory (it's like 2.5gb in size) the files should go in the right places (in windows vista & 7 you need to say yes to "do you want to merge this folder")
