Hello, heres a quick tutorial on how to unpack the Oblivion BSA's.There has been a bsa unpacker with a gui made by Timeslip.
Which you can get here.
Bsa unpacker
But if you are like me, and want to do it almost manually then this is the place for you.
First download Ghostwheels program "Tes4bsa" Tes4bsa
Then make a folder in the C: drive. I will call mine "BSA".
Then extract the contents of the TES4BSA, the file you just downloaded, into the "BSA" folder which you have just created.
Note: Extracting is another way of copy and pasting.
Also extract the Bsa files from your Oblivion data files, only extract "Obl ...

Here's my little tutorial I made for this thread a while back.
Please Note: If you wish to transfer an NPC's face to your Player Character, (whether it's a mod-added NPC or an NPC from within the original game) please see this helpful tutorial posted on the SpellHoldStudios forums. It's a little bit more difficult but very effective.

Ok, follow the cursor:
IN WRYE BASH:
First, find the savegame that does not have the face you want in it, the one you want to replace with the new face.
(It will probably be your newest new gamesave.)
Select it, and right-click to open the context menu, select "import face":

In-game messengers such as Game Face, seem to solve the problem, but only ...

2. Make sure the description says if the mod is a re-color or a re-texture (new artwork). Also, for weapons, if its 2H or 1H.
3. Make sure it works with display cases - Some people display unique items. In some cases upon re-entering the room with the display case the sword/item jumps around like crazy before falling out of the closed display case.
4. Make sure there is an icon - If ...

Hey everyone!After a lot of searching (which involved this article by WoogieMonster), I decided to try to find a way to fix it.
