I recently installed Oblivion again and im experiencing some problems. I can run the game almost perfectly with minimal stuttering at 1680x1050 absolutely anywhere, however, once i enter the imperial city, i was finding that my frame rate was dropping from 40+ to around 5-10 fps. All mods are installed with OBMM (appart from high res textures, they were done manually and before any mods so that mods could overwrite them if needed). I can only assume that the problem is related to my load order since i tried to rectify the problem. I used BOSS to make the load order more efficient in the hope that everything would be fixed and i could get back to some serious gaming, however, i found that after using BOSS, my frame rate had dropped to under 1 fps (even when dropping the resolution down to 640x480). As soon as i 'zone' into a building or out of the imperial city market, its all running perfect again. The lag is also only in the market area, nowhere else, ive found all the other zones to be running nicely. So far, ive literally spent 4 days installing, uninstalling, shredding remnants of the game, reinstalling, adding mods, playing with load order, making notes, reading readme's, head scratching, loading, swearing, exiting the game, disabling mods one at a time, reenabling them, more swearing and repeating. I know that the problem is definitely not hardware related as i have a dual core 2.8 Ghz processor, 4 Gigs od DDR3 ram and a 1 Gig GDDR5 graphics card. So, im really hoping someone here could take a look at my load order and please help me out. Im also fairly new to modding, so if anyone can actually help, it would be great to explain it like youre talking to an idiot. Thanks.

Im also guessing that this current load order is also a bit messed up, since it looks nothing like the order it sould be in from what ive read in the limited readme's. Ill post the load order again, once i have it how i think it should be and as close as i can get to how it was running at around 10 fps once i wake up, since its now almost 06:00 and ive been trying to get this whole thing working for nearly 24 hours. Thanks in advance, a really HUGE THANKS for any help left here when i wake up.
