Thanks for all the help. :-P (not lol) I got it to work. The damn proto folders said read only, but the files within them werent... Odd, but whatever. My game saves now, and the quest begins!
I searched, but could not come up with anything. I figure I did something stupid upon installation, but cannot confirm it. I cannot save my games, but I can launch the mod.
I can see the area before the TOT, but when I enter it, it is black...
