*Make your release OMOD-ready by including OMOD conversion data for [[Oblivion Mod Manager]]. This avoids the need to release a separate OMOD version while still giving users an easier way to create their own OMOD. In an OMOD-ready archive, all the "omod conversion data" is pregenerated and included as a separate directory, including readme, install scripts (if any), screenshot, etc. This way, when the user goes to create an OMOD from the extracted download, OBMM finds that directory and asks if you want to import the conversion data. | *Make your release OMOD-ready by including OMOD conversion data for [[Oblivion Mod Manager]].

You should probably include a very brief OMOD_or_Manual_Install.txt file explaining the steps. Feel free to use any of the files included in this [http://devnull.devakm.googlepages.com/BTSRNormalMapsReduced.7z small mod package] as a guideline (I'll post a separate modder's resource version as soon as possible). | |||
The best thing about this approach is that it works just as well for users who like OMODs and those who don't (the only difference is the one extra directory in the archive). | |||
