WOW !!! That fixed ALL the problems !!! Thanks !!!! I just had Oblivion re-make that file. Went in and changed the bright light setting to 0 and now everything looks proper and the textures are back. You were right that it didn't detect my graphics card.

After re-loading a saved game, I noticed that a lot of the grass textures are gone and replaced with just a solid grey, mesh. Even walking into certain areas in the main city look like I'm underwater until I go up stairs to get above the mesh. Also, a lot of the textures look very bright and washed out. Trees look like blurry watercolor paintings. Whenever I start a game, everything is mega bright and washed out with all the wrong colors. Opening the console and typing in "TLB" fixes that. The problem comes when I'm outside where everything gets washed out looking and the textures for things are missing and just looking like a bland featureless patch. The patch is the same color as the expected texture, there's just no actual texture on it. Is there also a way I can set up Oblivion so that I don't have to type in "TLB" every time I start a game ? Could this be a graphics card issue ? I have a newly installed Radeon HD 5770 card that I just put in last week. Is it possible that I have to tweak a setting on it or is this some kind of Oblivion issue ? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/651/screenshot1mi.jpg

As it says in the title. I'd like to get this mod working and it's the only one in my mod list that crashes Oblivion when activated. With this mod activated, when I exit the sewers after the start tutorial when you do the prison escape, it crashes to the desktop. If I load any game that was saved with my character outside, it also crashes to the desktop as soon as the load bar gets halfway through loading. Everything seems to work perfectly fine with this add on deactivated. Can anyone help me troubleshoot it ? I'm a little bit new to add on troubleshooting but I've used BOSS and cleaned add ons with TES4EDIT. It seems like it would be a cool mod to have enabled if I could get it going. I'd love to have all those new monsters to bash around. I've found that Francesco's Optional New Items Add-On.esm causes missing textures to appear for some things. I had a guy chasing me who was just a head, two gloves, and a lower torso ! Upon disabling that file, the textures came back.
