CTD on equipping custom necklace


BlueSteelRanger

Recommended Posts

Salutations, Nexus.

So, I have uncovered a rather infuriating bug. I have a small mod I built that adds a simple custom outfit (Two rings, shoes, pants, shirt, hood, necklace, armbands). Yet the game crashes every single time I try to equip the necklace.

Everything I've used is a simple re-texture of vanilla assets.
I did put custom enchantments on the items (again, all vanilla CK resources. No scripts, nothing weird or huge).

I'm trying to figure out if it's an unseen conflict. I've taken out two of the biggest mods in my list, but all that did was tell me it wasn't a conflict with those particular mods.

My list right now is as follows:
Oblivion.esm
(And all DLC's)
Unofficial Oblivion Patch
Unofficial Oblivion DLC Patches
OBSE
Elys' Universal Silent Voice
Oblivion Uncut
Verona House Bloodlines (This is a mod recently installed. I've been wanting to try it for a while now)
BSRCheatBag (This is my mod)

The two mods I removed in order to check things:
COBL
Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul

Yeah, I have a small AF mod list, I know. So it puzzles me, why is my mod's clothing suddenly a crash issue? I feel like Oblivion is a tank truck supported by icepop sticks.

I would rather suspect something with definition of that necklace, model/texture or enchantment itself. What happens if you try to unassign all models? Is Oblivion still crashing if you remove an enchantment? Can you drop this necklace without crash?

I did try removing the enchantment -- trying one thing at a time to do a careful ruling-out. Sadly, that didn't fix the issue. The necklace itself is a retexture I did of the Knights of the Thorn amulet. The pants: Recoloured Black Wide Pants. Shes: Base blue suede shoes. Ring: Base Ring of Khajiit model with a custom texture/design. Shirt: THIS is from a clothing mod I'd gotten a few years ago from "Comfortable Clothing". Second ring: Weatherward Circlet base model. Hood: Base Black Hood model with a retexture. Armbands: Base Wrist Iron model.

CAN you unassign without the game going weird? And if so, how?

Yes, unassigning a model is easy in Construction Set. Just click on Biped Model or World Model button as if you wanted to change it, but cancel selection in requester. You will see "Add NIF File" in that button, which means no file is assigned.  Press OK and you're done.  Not assigned model means only that item will not render in game (for clothes and armor it means that also part of body for which is made will disappear if equipped) when wearing or dropping it for Oblivion, so need to worry about crash.  Of course I recommend to work with copy of esp while troubleshooting.

Ahh, that bit. I take it that's where you'd find either the "my torso disappeared!" thing or the "WTF? NO MESH!" bubble. I'll give that a try and see if that has any effect.

I do wonder, since I kinda worked hard on this necklace, is it possible to test the thing and make it so the game doesn't hate-crash? LOL. My mecklace worked fine a while ago. Unless it's possible to have a clash or corruption?

You'll see "WTF?.." bubble or yellow triangle only when model is assigned, but couldn't be found.

Clash or corruption is still in question. But if another mod wanted overwrite some file, you should be already warned or asked if it's OK to overwrite it while installing it. In case of record clash, it should be detected by any mod manager, even old Oblivion Mod Manager has conflict detectors in its Utilities part. If you don't use any, I would try to disable any other mod for tests - leaving only DLCs, patches, OBSE and your mod on.

Edit: Also corrupted save would do it, if necklace was already in inventory. But such corruption would be severe to affect your inventory too.

Did you create an object with an editor ID that doesn't start with a letter?

Oh, no. I learned enough to never, EVER do that. 🙂

I think I may have figured it out. I went into the Kit and basically, re-made my necklace from the ground up (I have the mesh and texture backed up). I tested it twice with and without my custom enchantment.

Both worked flawlessly after I removed another mod (Ah, alas, I love my tiny collection of big mods but...) 'Oblivion Uncut' had to come out whilst I'm doing Verona House. Both alter the overworld (as do my other favourites, COBL and MOO). I think it clashed with my necklace somehow since I DO put it in a bag for me to find in the world (in the tutorial dungeon, yes, but still. It's THERE and thus, alters things).

Note to self, and possibly others: These mods may clash with each other and may not be nice with clothing stuff (although I am tempted to try and find a way to make them all dance because I love them)
Verona House
MOO
COBL
Oblivion Uncut.
