I know that Oblivion is very slow to level your character, you have to do a lot of training to get your skills up to master level. And even time consuming to find the master trainers. Somewhere along the way, I eventually used the console cheats to get my character to where I wanted him, mainly for the magic ones which I could care less. But, I play mainly a non-magic Paladin, so to speak, just having some powerful spells handy if need be, the best weapon is Anduril by Kohdi Anduril - Flame of the West , this weapon does not need any enchantments. And just as I was looking up the link, I came across Anduril Reforged which I have not used yet, but seems very interesting. The best armor for a paladin is from the mod Lost Paladins of the Divines . You won't be disappointed in either of these, fun quests to obtain the items.

I think Faustina Cartia maybe is, wish I knew of 'Whispered Warning' beforehand for Antoinetta Marie (I don't like the girl that remains in charge) or if it could have been applied to Faustina. But the Mod Saphiria's Romance has Faustina roaming around the Gardens of Jade, but she does not have that 'Mae West "Come up and see me sometime" AI. Carwen and Dynari are also good as with the wife of Oaken-Hull, Hasthil. There also is a high class imperial lady who walks around IC, but have not come across her in long time to remember the name. (BTW, for player added mods, Saphiria has to be, because of the way she smiles at you when you talk to her, but also I have Vilja as High Imperial, her beauty and mind are both a knock out!) But ok you girls, who do you think is the most handsome man out there?

It has happened to me again at this hollowed-out tree stump, too! First dead drop at Hero's Hill the hollowed-out moss covered rock I couldn't ever find the orders. I had to use console to set quest stage and add item to player there too. Must be a bug for certain players that the mesh never got loaded from the game. So off to enter the codes for this dead drop #6, lol!! http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/angry.gif As a reference, here are the links to get the codes: Dark Brotherhood Quests ID and Oblivion PC Cheats: Books and Scroll Codes

Try looking at this link I posted last year. Look, Ma, no feet!!! I think it relates to a body replacer mod. I have had it crop up on several occasions because of because of body, clothing, armor etc meshes don't match. If you use OBMM, try deactivating your mod, (body, armor, etc. that you suspect) then reactivating it, then start your game. It seems to work for me. And something about using replacer mods that use only esp or esm files, they will always be there and not deleted, but if you don't use obmm, and just drop or paste files in your data file, they get replaced and gone forever until you re-install them either from Oblivion setup disc or the mod that has them.

I searched every square inch of the moss covered rock , 3 times over, and even toggled collision off to no avail. I could never find the hidden hollow to receive the first dead drop. The only workable solution was to download the letter code (Dead Drop Orders #1 0002FB3E) to add to player in console (player.additem), then to use setstage (set quest stage) for Dark10SanctuaryFIN to 100 and Dark10SpecialWizard to 10. Dead Drop Orders 2, 3 and 4 have worked fine, working on 4 now.

The dialogue files are there, problem is, they play so fast you don't have time to read the entirety. Ely's Universal Silent Voice is suppose to make them play for at least 8 seconds, but it does not work for the mod Saphiria's Romance.

Also you can tone down your Difficulty setting (variable from easy to hard) in your gameplay options. P.S. later edit: Oops, Gremxula already said that, I did not notice :wacko:

Even though the 'date modified' does not match, it must have stopped saving when I had to rename pluggy's .dll for a HUD mod. Also the save game works from console, saves both .ess and .obse. I did have Q-core once, great mod-to-be, in development, but got too quarky so I had to dismantle it, it might have messed those things up.

Elys works for most if not all my mods, but will not work it seems for Saphiria's Romance. It has very important dialogue that I am missing due to it disappears in seconds before I am able to read it, however it does include voice acting if you rename the file in construction set, but I don't sprechen sie Deutsch. Is there a way to get Elys to work for this, or just pause the game screen or something with dialogue intact? Appended: I have just been taking screenshots after each dialogue comment, but that is no way to play a game.

sorry, I was not watching this topic. The saves from the console were in the default save folder but I don't remember if there was a corresponding .obse save. That might have been it, because my game needs it now. Guess I need to test to see if obse will write a console save too. And another thing I just noticed, up to save 10, I was getting a .pluggy save along with .obse. But not had any for 200+ saves now.

Yes, there are two files, one is OAF_Save 206 - Aragorn - The West Weald, Level 150, Playing Time 421.47.06.ess, the other was a corresponding one, Save 206 - Aragorn - The West Weald, Level 150, Playing Time 421.47.06.obse which I first copied then pasted, renamed to add OAF and removed 'copy' addendum. My save games are ridiculously large, 5.3 MB. Could there be a problem with that? I know it takes forever it seems to load a new cell. And btw, my game hours accumlated by keeping the game running while surfing the web, like now for instance , or sometimes aac, (asleep at computer), or afc (away from computer).

Well, I restarted the mod from the beginning, but the glitch must have occured when a Mystic Dawn appeared in a city and started a melee blood frenzy, and Saphiria must have killed an innocent and the crime would never get removed. I tried setcrimegold to 0 and payfine in the console, but did not work. Just be sure she never kills accidently a citizen or guard is my warning!!!!! And keep plenty recent backup saves handy if she does, to revert back to.

I had a problem with ScreenEffects.esm which is necessary to run Bladesong. The fix worked, but after ScreenEffects loads, the screen would go all gray. Also after opening inventory to access Matrix of Perception to adjust your screen tweaks, it would CTD. But luckily, cdan posted his reply, (on Animation Fixer forum thread), I applied his remedy to the obse save file corresponding to the oaf fix save and voila! Tested it for 30 minutes reloading same and new save and all is well! Thanks ladies and gents! :dance: :thumbsup:

You will need Unofficial Patch to solve some more problem(like Boethia Daedric quest....). Yes, I went with "The Works". downloaded unofficial patch, unofficial patch supplementals, and unofficial mods patch. And guess where I put Custom Race Fix? in same place with all the patches! link is Custom Race Fix Don't remember ever doing Boethia Daedric Quest, but I did not do a lot the first time playing TES IV, Bruma Glitch CTD caused me to restart, now I try to stay clear of Bruma, may not do any quests there after Bruma Gate. When you have Unofficial Oblivion Patch, you don't need separate Custom Race fix. About Bruma Statue issue, as long as you're stick to vanilla races and equipments, or not removing any mod, you may be fine. Or you can try 'Better Bruma Statue'(requires OBSE). Ok, thanks, but I am a High Imperial from DK High Imperials, and also Rhianna Companion gave me the Demi-God birthsign. I am using sword of Anduril, and wear armor from Lost Paladins of the Divine, and custom Mithril I made to 120% Chameleon, all armor re-enchanted with Altar of Re-Enchantment. I was just about to read upon the threads of Bruma Statue Bug fix, because am having bug to get into Private Room of the Prince of Saphiria's Romance. (on that thread someone else needs help) My statue there changed a 2nd time and now CTD. Not made it to Great Sigil Stone yet, but is primed to go next in that quest line, and btw, I never ever knew there was even a Bruma Statue until reading these threads. I kept CTD so just restarted last year, took a break from Oblivion for a long while, and now trying to finish it. Thanks everyone here in TesNexus for all the info and help. P.S. A day later, I used Windom Earle_s Oblivion Crash Prevention System to fix bugged statue at Saphiria's Romance. Works fine, hopefully it will do the same for Bruma Statue when I get that far.

Thanks again Striker879, and you too, LFact & Keirgarth

Hear, Hear! I totally agree. I can barely use OBMM to get by, leave well enough alone is my motto, all those features and tools in OBMM are 'Greek' to me, and Wrye Bash is for the programmer savvy and software proficient. So an Idiots Guide to both is greatly needed.

Thanks for the reply, Striker879. Sounds like it is part of problem. Most animations are getting slower, like fires, and spell animations too. But OAF says just use only if animation is stuck. And Wrye Bash was way over my head for me to make heads or tails out of. (I could never figure out what the bash patch did even though I made one) But may have to go back to school, so to speak, to learn how to use Wrye Bash if problem gets worse and if no quick fixes, lol. Will have to re-install it again. bummer You don't need to re-install whole game because of A-Bomb. It happens when you play one character for too long(around 150 hours or more), so your other characters may have A-Bomb or not. Sorry, I did not make my self clear. I do that a lot. I meant I will have to download and re-install Wrye Bash because I deleted all those files and the download. If OBMM is not confusing enough, Wrye Bash scared me, lol.

Oh, that does that to me all the time, "not responding". Just give it a little time and OBMM will start working to finish what is was doing like creating a new mod or close and start oblivion.exe. I think the "not responding" is just like 'Windows' busy hourglass just telling you in computer language like in Star Trek language of Vger ..."working"! P.S. Omod stands for Oblivion Mod used only by OBMM, correct?

just use console, type [ player.modav personality 74 ] that should put you just below expert if it is a skill, can't remember if it is an attribute, but once your personality is maxed out, everyone likes you so they will be at 100 disposition with you and won't play the mini game, even guards will pay your fines when they arrest you. P.S. sorry, don't use modav, instead use player.setav (modify actor value just adds to current value), whereas set actor value replaces current value and doesn't affect your leveling bonus when you sleep. Also can use to adjust your npc's with this just by clicking on them to bring up their name and baseID.

what about installing mod Better Benirus Manor. Would that fix it before re-installing oblivion? Also I get sometimes huge blank grey walls covering city gates or city houses; and in castle mods, usually Glenvar, trees and bushes pop up, odd looking like weak 3D rendition but a save then reload takes it away. Once had the black squares in Glenvar Castle, but de-activating and re-activating with OBMM fixed it I think. ( might had to delete and reinstall to get missing textures.)

Seems I am on a roll tonight with my new topics posted, but just remembered this aggravating one. Most doors and gates are slow to open. Just finished "The Arena", but I had to use console to toggle no clipping on just to get past the iron gate from the Bloodworks after getting new match from Blademaster Owyn because it would take a couple of minutes to open. The top gate to the arena was slightly faster and everywhere else in Cyrodiil is about the same, just slow opening doors, gates, and sometimes containers. Anyone know what causes this? :wallbash:

Seems like Oblivion would not recognize the console saves for me to load. Any clues?

I have been getting on occasion a crash or freeze on loading autosave, and sometimes crashes or freezes during autosaving. I figured it was just that the file got corrupted. So I deleted all autosave.ess, autosave.obse, autosave.bak, and bak bak, lol. Then the next new autosave would load ok. Luckily I had a recent quicksave ess obse bak bak pluggy :thumbsup: P.S. Is 5.4 megs too large for an autosave?
