Load order problem

[Zeppilus]

Hi,

 

Just recently I got the idea of replaying Oblivion, but to make things different/new I decided I would add mods. So I got some mods that I thought sounded good, got OMM and OBSE and NifScript and Pluggy and stuff, but when I tried to play (through OBSE) it keep crashing either just before Betheda appears on the screen or just when it does appear. I think this can be blamed on a shoddy load-order, but I have no skill with those things, so I need help. Another problem is that when I try to install the offical patch, it says something like 'an old file has been replaced. Update cancelled.' Any idea why that would happen?

 

So, my load order:

 

 

You may note I am missing some Better Cities Anvil-Leyawin (or something).esp files. They are there and they are active. I also have the rest of the FSP patches, but I dont have them active.

 

So what is wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

Zep.

you have Better Cities - COBL active and yet don't use COBL which it is dependant on

 

I Suggest you use wrye bash to check for errors. IT will flag up any errors related with missing master files and master file load orders

Whenever Oblivion fails to load the way your are describing, the first thing to check for is a missing ".esm" file that something else is dependant on.

 

As SceneGG said, you need cobl.esm active for anything that uses cobl to reference.

Thanks. I have done some more research and found that it wasn't in fact a problem with my load order (though it did have problems - I have now cleaned it up), but because I still had settings and saves stored from the last time I played that was keeping it from working properly. I now works fine. Thanks again.
