The Blender export scripts are configured to export Morrowind .nifs, version 4.0.0.2, not the required 20.0.0.4 version. Oblivion uses .nif version 20.0.0.5 actually, that's one reason you can't use the exported .nifs directly but have to put your mesh into existing .nifs. | |||

* in Blender, set window type to Scripts Window (leftmost button in the 3D viewport, where you set UV Editor) | |||
