Rule number one: Always use Oblivion Mod Manager. Never trust Nexus Mod Manager. That's why it has "Beta" on the name. Its downloading usefulness has proven itself to me, though.

Rule number two: Pay attention to everything that is written on the mod's page. Even the comments section, if you're in doubt.

Rule number three: Install manually whenever you can. Disregard rule one for this matter.

Rule number four: Never save before you know the mod is working properly. A lot of mods can corrupt your save files for life.

Rule number five: When you uninstall a mod, make sure you've uninstalled it completely, deleting the files in your game directory and making sure you aren't using any assets from the mod ingame before uninstalling it.

Your problems aren't very specific, so i can't be specific when helping you. Please note that i learned this in three months of modding, so i may be missing something here.
