Do you use FCOMhelper to assist your load order? because I glanced at your list for about 3 seconds and noticed two glaring errors. (#1 you dont need ANY real swords esp's (including all the textures and meshes) as they are ALL incorporated into latest version of FCOM and FCOM_RealSwords.esp, and #2 you have WAY to many esp's active for Tamriel Travelers, the files, TamrielTravellersItemsNPC.esp, TamrielTravellersItemsVendor.esp, TamrielTravellersItemsUnscaled.esp, are just over writing each other from what I remember, I'd check the install directions again.) Well back on topic I'm almost at the 300 mark and I've been running Operation Optimization from the start and from what I can tell it works great. Happy Modding :thumbsup:

I agree with you 100% streamline is recommended quite often to help people with their performance issues, when there are other mods out there that work quite well also. I ran streamline 3.1 for about two weeks until I realized that it was causing my game to run awful, FPS was very jumpy and lagged allot and had constand CTDs. A soon as I removed Streamline my game ran totally fine with just the ocasional CDT every hour or two.

Great idea I'll have to give it a try in my game.

I have the exact same problem with a very simmilar setup full FCOM with about 200 other mods running. The only time I have ever seen this bug is in castle Kvatch when it is destroyed and full of fire. I felt that it had to do with all the fire effects in the rooms and the HDR lighting, but it hasn't bothered me since so I haven't looked into a fix.....until now. What is your video card? I am running a Nvidia GeForce 8800gtx and found a good configuration of video hardware settings that and reduced my CTDs by 90%. Perhaps a similar trouble shooting technique will work for the "Grey screen bug". Basicly what I did is set my hardware settings to default then changed every thing that had a better performance option to that option one at a time. Below is my current hardware settings profile. Good Luck :thumbsup:

I've had quite a few scary moments, usually it's something jupming out at my when unexpected. But the funniest scary moment was acctually when my wife was playing she had just started a new character after seimi-retiring her 25th level mage and was doing the intro quest. Here new character was this really short 1/2 cat person (from Beautiful people) and she was walking down the hallway that has a rat then a zombie in it. Well she killed the rat and the zombie and was looting them and when she came out of the inventory screen another rat jumped at her from around the corner. Because her character was so short the rat looked like it was flying right at her face. She jumped in her chair and screamed, I started laughing, and then POW she punched me in the arm REALLY HARD and yelled at me for laughing at her. NOW THAT WAS SCARY. :biggrin:

AHHHHH Wonderfull Thanks SOOO Much

You should find a link at this site: http://devnull.devakm.googlepages.com/convergence This was uploaded 7-4-08 http://tesnexus.com/downloads/download.php?id=27152 The USIP MOBS patch at the FCOM site is a dead link, and the TES-Nexus file #27152 does not exist. Does anyone know where this dang file can be DLed from. Thanks

I tryed this post in the General Mod Discussion Forum but got no replies, perhaps some one here can answer my question. Where do I find the file MOBS version of USIP? Excerpt from FCOMhelper.txt Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp !!! FCOM INSTALLATION ERROR: Use MOBS version when using Francesco's and FCOM. I have FCOM and OOO, MMM, WC, & Frans installed. Thanks

Awsome I've never moded my music folder, who knew how easy it is....I'm gonna start picking out MP3s right now. I'll repost with my list when I'm done, SWEET.

I'd probably say WTF then go oooooh cr@p, what level am I and where the heck am I. I'd then travel to the nearest inn collecting alchemy reagents along the way and wait for a traveling merchant to come by that is selling a amulet of water walking. I'd then hide in his room and rob him while he's sleeping. I'd put the amulet on and travel to the IC via the safest roads in tamriel, the lakes and rivers. Once in the IC I'd go to the arcane university and learn as much magic as possible, culminating in the creation of a new midas magic spell "Open Gate to Earth". Upon returning to earth I will live out my life as a simple janitor who moonlights as a all powerful god-mage freedom fighter at night. I would mosly help and heal the innocent at first but slowly over time become corrupted and crazed by power lust as I saw how easy it is to over power the puny humans of this world. It would probably start with the summoning a Balrog in the corporate headquarters of some company I don't like, then it would just get worse from there to the annihilation of small thrid world countrys. To finally the desruction of every major city on the planet and enslavement of all the remaining living creatures so that I can harvest their souls to power my ring of personality 100pts, aaaahh the only thing that really matters in the world.
