This is how I install mods like this: Manually download the mod Extract the files to somewhere convenient. (I have a folder inside Downloads where I do all this.) Look at the preview images, pick the option you want. Delete the others, and the preview folder If you want the Nebula option move that dds file into the Data/Textures/Sky folder you've kept. Either way, delete the Enhanced Nebula folder. Use the latest version of 7-Zip (my choice) or WinRar (just as good) to archive your Data folder. Name the archive something that, a year from now, will remind you what you did. (eg "BETTER NIGHTSKY v1.2-2234_RepackNewMoons2.7z") Drag your new archive onto the Installer tab and install as usual.
Yes, its a pain the first time, but this way Wrye keeps track of all those loose files instead of you relying on your memory. Once you get the hang of it things go much faster.
Hmm! First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, slygeezer! In my case, I have two pastes: one I download the mods and, of course, the other for Wrye Bash. The Wrye Bash folder I feel safe to edit, delete et cetera, since I have the backup folder (Mods Oblivion Folder). So... (I'm looking right now to the folder): is there ONLY ONE SET (Enhanced Moons X Enchanced Nebula X New Moons 1 X New Moons 2 X Original Moons), or TWO SETS (for exemple: Enhanced Moons + any other Nebula I want? I mean: can I choose ONE MOON SET PLUS ANOTHER NEBULA SET - like: New Moons 2 + Enhanced Nebula??)? I don't know if I was clear, lol (I'm sorry).
I'm sorry: forget what I said above. So I did this what you said to me, but Wrye Bash keeps showing me like there's no file at all. Here's my Folder's structure: BETTER NIGHTSKY v1.2-2234.7z => Better Nightsky v1.2 => Enhanced Moons =\Data = > Textures => sky => => Readme.txt = / And then the files of the moon plus the nebula (skynebula01.dds). What could be wrong? I'm sorry to be bothring you.
Thank you very much, slygeezer, for your help. I did it: I had to change the folder/ 7zip file structure. I put: BETTER NIGHTSKY v1.2-2234.7z => data (directly; no sub-folders) => Textures => sky and then, the files. Peace.
Glad it worked out for you! Sorry I wasn't more detailed in my outline of the process. I've done this so many times I forget how confused I was at first.
Those of you with problems, Black sky means you have replaced your shader package but are not using HDR. If it just doesnt work and you put the files in place like it says in the readme, You need Archive Invalidation, just google it.
Okay so it shows in the previews that there are 3 nebula options, why then when I look under the nebula folder does it only have 1 Mebula option??? Help??

How do I install it with Wrye Bash?
Manually download the mod
Extract the files to somewhere convenient. (I have a folder inside Downloads where I do all this.)

Delete the others, and the preview folder
If you want the Nebula option move that dds file into the Data/Textures/Sky folder you've kept. Either way, delete the Enhanced Nebula folder.

Other moon retextures such as this one work without any problem: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45545/?
