I used to play Morrowind years ago (with one of emma's companions), and only moved recently to Oblivion.
While trying to install Vilja, the included .txt file states: ...
In order to play the mod you need to download:
a) the BSA-package (huge file) ...
Ok, so I do l know of the .bsa files, but I have no clue what the 'BSA-package' is... A search on www.nexusmods.com did not give me any answer, and I could not find any info here either; I guess that most people coming here consider it obvious because they learned long ago what it is; I might have known back when I was playing Morrowind, but forgot it since.
While I am here, the links on lovkullen.net/Emma/Vilja.htm to the old tesnexus.com are all redirected to the main page of www.nexusmods.com (had to make a fresh account there a while back since my old tesnexus account was not recognized).
So, basically, at the moment I am stuck, no clue how to get that 'BSA-package' which I cannot even identify.

A BSA package is a .bsa file and the one you are looking for is linked as "download companion Vilja 4 part 1" in Emma's site. You just need to download that one and the one linked as "download Vilja part 4.04 2", wich is the esp plugin file.

You just need to download that one and the one linked as "download Vilja part 4.04 2", wich is the esp plugin file. Before finding Emma's site, I had already downloaded Vilja from www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/28977, and it is the included .txt in 'Companion Vilja 4 04 ESP-28977.7z' which tells me that I need that file, without telling me where to get it, and without nexusmods allowing me to find it.
So, I first followed from that file to Emma's site, where, as mentioned in my original post, ALL LINKS in the text itself arrive to the HOME PAGE on Nexusmods, since they are links to the old tesnexus.com.
As for the 2 files you mentioned, found in a box at the bottom of emma's site, part 1 seems to be the same file I already downloaded from nexusmods, while I had no clue that part 2 was that same 'BSA-package' (I just found it on nexusmods, but it was not listed the way I found Vilaj there initially).

Everything should be in the one main download if I'm not mistaken.
Drop it all into data and activate the esp using Oblivion Mod Manager.

No worries, already sorted with my previous reply. The issue was not about installing, but about figuring what the 'BSA-package' meant; would have been clearer if it said .bsa file instead of 'BSA-package' which suggested something more complex.
