So I just got the oblivion expansion pack for Christmas. I got the shivering isles expansion as well as knights of the nine on the same disk. I put them in my xbox,I do what it says in the manual. I selected to download both the expansions and then read a book while they downloaded(It by Stephen King). After they've finished installing it says to take out the shivering isles and start playing with the normal Oblivion disk. It also says to wait for an entire game day(but you can use rest to get through it quickly)then the new quests will start. I opened up my usual save file and used rest to get through a game day. No new quests started at all! Has anyone had this happen to them? Does anyone know how to get it to work?

I got it off of LIVE when I first got the game, so I don't know what the problem is. One thing you could try is starting a new game and see if you get it after you get outside.

See if there's anything interesting east off the coast of Bravil. If not, the expansion isn't enabled for some reason.

You're not actually missing any quests by skipping to that, just a reminder to head down there.

Goddammit! I searched all around Bravil and Leyawin and didnt find a thing! I've reinstalled the expansion about 5 times and still I have nothing.

I sometimes forget how some members can be quite horrible and unjustly assholes on the escapist. Thankyou for reminding me with such eloquence.

I took qbert4evers advice and started a new file. I got through the dungeon but still no new quests came up and the door still isnt there. I guess I will have to live with the fact that I will never enter The Shivering Isles.

I got the Game of the Year addition when it came out. I installed it and it said all the same things you have described. You might have to wait, as in-game wait, versus resting, I don't know. That's what I did to get the quest pop-up, one for Knights of the Nine, and the other for Shivering Isles. I don't know if there is a difference in between waiting and resting, but I guess it could be worth a try.
If that doesn't work, all I can suggest is just trade it in for another, or you can trade in your Oblivion disc and your expansion disc for Game of the Year addition (with some cash).

When I did this, waiting didn't do it. I had to play 24 in-game hours for the quest to appear.

EDIT: If that doesn't work, you may want to check troubleshooting tips or call someone at Bethesda.

I waited for a game day. Actually I waited two game days to be sure. Still nothing. But! Not only cant I access the shivering isles or the knights of the nine quests,its actually fucked up the original game as well! Now everything takes at least a minute to load! I actually had to start reading a book because it took about 5 minutes to load the Anvil mages guild! I am fucking pissed off!

Have you got the latest update? Either way, you might have to clear your cache and re-update. No idea why but I've had to do that several times when it's refused to load up the downloaded content.

Er, yeah, so am I. The 360 has a cache, it holds the automatic updates that you get when you start up a game that's been patched since release. You can clear it if you're having problems. Like this one. Google something like "clear 360 cache" if you want to find out how it's done.
