I'm looking for a mod called better signs, It used to be on the nexus, because I can find random links for it around the web, but it appears to have been taken down, it's an incomplete project but apparently is a good supplement to "improved signs"

I'm glad I found this thread, It asks a lot of the questions I have :D I'm still confused on the steam compatibly topic, because I've heard steam's version has a protected EXE and OBSE won't work with it, but I've also read here that it should work fine. I played oblivion on my roommate's computer a couple years ago and modded the crap out of it, but that was a retail version (i also got way in over my head) I also used to have the playstation version, which I ended up selling because i didn't really like vanilla oblivion. now that I have a brand new gaming pc and skyrim coming out later this year, I want to play oblivion again, the way it is meant to be played... heavily modded. So far I have ALL the official DLC and mods (it's included in the steam version) and the unoficiall patches (UOP, USIP, UOMP, and the supplemental patch) I'm interested in some texture packs (which I'm perfectly comfortable with) as well as FCOM, UL, deadly reflex, supreme magicka, and some smaller mods that shouldn't be problematic. I just want to make sure that that should be ok with the steam version as well as not make the same mistake i did last time of installing around 80 mods with reckless abandon, and getting tons of CTDs edit: more careful reading, I now know OBSE should be fine, and therefore all my other mods should work, now I just need to be careful how i install them all

I think the problem might be that I have the UK version of the game, i had thought of this before, but there is no reason the race names should have changed (which can cause silent dialogue) however, if my mods are intended for the American version of the game it *might* be the cause of the problem, I'm just not sure how to fix it, since i'm not sure if it's a BSA issue or a race name issue, or something else entirely.

I can't see any reason why it doesn't work, but it simply doesn't. i click the wrye bash launcher and nothing happens, i get the little blue thinking circle for about a second then nothing. i decided the easiest way to clean up my mess was bite the bullet and just clear everything out, then reinstalling only with offical plugins and the mods that were really important to me, and everything is still silent. i don't know if it's because i can't bash patch everything boss is suggesting, or if the problem is beyond that. its really getting frustrating.... good news is i got the eye issue fixed on my own, but im basically out of leads for the voices.

well, I did wrye bash and boss, fixed some issues i didn't even know I had, however voices are still missing and now everyone's eyes are black. the black eyes I know has something to do with my body replacers, and i'm seraching about for that fix now. I might not have patched everything with wrye bash, because I can't get the newest version to work, i read this and i'm running v284 at the moment. it should be noted that I use vista, and have everything installed outside the program files folder here's an updated list, though i don't think it will tell you much Oblivion.esm Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esm Mart's Monster Mod.esm Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp UOP Vampire Aging & Face Fix.esp Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp DLCShiveringIsles.esp Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp Natural_Weather_HDR_by_Max_Tael_RD.esp Natural_Habitat_by_Max_Tael.esp Natural_Water_by_Max_Tael.esp Cities Alive At Night.esp IWR-Lights.esp IWR-Windows.esp IWR-Shutters.esp ImprovedSigns.esp Living Economy.esp Living Economy - Items.esp Cutthroat Merchants.esp DLCHorseArmor.esp DLCHorseArmor - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCOrrery.esp DLCOrrery - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCVileLair.esp DLCVileLair - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCMehrunesRazor.esp DLCMehrunesRazor - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCSpellTomes.esp Thieves Arsenal.esp DLCThievesDen.esp DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch - SSSB.esp Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esp OOO-Map_Markers_Stock.esp OOO-No_Guild_Ownership.esp Mart's Monster Mod.esp Mart's Monster Mod - Diverse Imperial Armor.esp Mart's Monster Mod - Gems & Gem Dust.esp Mart's Monster Mod - Durability & Damage.esp Mart's Monster Mod - More Wilderness Life.esp Mart's Monster Mod - City Defences.esp Martigen's Monster Mod - Resized Races.esp DLCFrostcrag.esp DLCFrostcrag - Unofficial Patch.esp Knights.esp Knights - Unofficial Patch.esp xuldarkforest.esp xulStendarrValley.esp xulTheHeath.esp MMMMWL-TheHeath patch.esp XulEntiusGorge.esp xulFallenleafEverglade.esp xulColovianHighlands_EV.esp xulChorrolHinterland.esp xulBeachesOfCyrodiilLostCoast.esp xulBravilBarrowfields.esp xulLushWoodlands.esp xulAncientYews.esp xulAncientRedwoods.esp xulCloudtopMountains.esp xulArriusCreek.esp xulPatch_AY_AC.esp xulRollingHills_EV.esp MMMMWL-RollingHills patch.esp xulPantherRiver.esp xulRiverEthe.esp xulBrenaRiverRavine.esp xulImperialIsle.esp xulBlackwoodForest.esp xulCheydinhalFalls.esp xulAspenWood.esp xulSkingradOutskirts.esp xulSnowdale.esp OOO-Snowdale Patch.esp Natural_Vegetation_by_Max_Tael.esp Harvest [Flora].esp Harvest [Flora] - DLCFrostcrag.esp P1DkeyChain.esp P1DKeyChainSI.esp PersuasionOverhaul.esp RealisticFatigue.esp RealisticForceMedium.esp RealisticMagicForceLow.esp SupremeMagicka.esp SM_ShiveringIsles.esp SM_EnchantStaff.esp RenGuardOverhaul.esp Kobu's Character Advancement System.esp Beautiful PeopleV22 - MaleReplacerV3.esp Bashed Patch, 0.esp

that just causes it to crash. I'm now trying a reinstall (i really wish I had more of these as omods, would be so much faster...)

while I'm not new to oblivion (I used to have it for PS3) I am new to mods (I now have it for PC instead) and I went a little mod crazy, but i tried to be careful to pick ones that wouldn't conflict. everything seems to be working fine except the dialouge is silent. the other sounds are fine, including NPCs talking to each other, but as soon as I enter dialouge - silence. any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Now, here is my mods/load order.
