My first mod DL and its crashing

[cheif12345]

Yup, my first ES mod here... I downloaded glenvar castle... everything extracted to the right place... i guess. Anyway, I can load the game and everything, I see glenvar castle right in front of me. My problem is whenever I have that esp activated in my data files it will crash whenever I try to start a conversation. I have only tried it in the Inn of Ill Omen, where an important Glenvar npc is, so Im not sure if it will happen somewhere else. Please help!

I have never tried this mod, but I had downloaded it quite a while ago, so I fired it up to see what would happen. I did not have any trouble talking to the merchant.

 

However, I think it probably requires Shivering Isles because he is referencing a global variable assuming you have it. If you don't have Shivering Isles, get it; it will be well worth it, and lots of mods require it.

 

Failing that, open the console by using the tildie key "~" then type: SetStage aaGlenvarMystery01 20. If you have to resort to this, then you will also need to force open a door because he gives you a key and SetStage probably won't trigger that.

 

 

 

P.S. I figured since I already had it installed I might as well play through it and see...

 

I can now tell you that this mod is very well done and the castle is great. Highly recommended. I have wholeheartedly given the mod my endorsement.

Great mod. In my opinion one of the best available and well worth the effort to get it working

It does require the latest patch to work. As do many other mods.

If you do not have the patch, Here are my recommendations on patching the game.

 

If you got your game through a download such as D2D, You have to go to them for any patches. The ones at the official site will not work because of the D2D copy protection. Programs like OBSE will probably not work because of the D2D copy protection. There is a special OBSE for the Steam version though. If you have a pirate version, sorry about your luck. Don't be so cheap, buy the game.

 

If you have the Game of the Year version, you don't need a patch as long as you have installed Shivering Isles. For some reason, Beth put the Oblivion Patchin the Shivering isles install instead of the Oblivion install.

 

To find what version you have, look in the lower left corner on the loading screen. If it shows v1.2.0416 you already have the latest patch.

 

You only need to install the latest patch, v1.2.0416, all of the stuff from earlier patches are included.

 

If you have Shivering Isles, DO NOT use the Oblivion patch, ONLY use the latest Shivering Isles patch. All of the oblivion stuff is included. There is only one English version SI patch for both US & UK versions.

 

If you DO NOT have Shivering Isles, use only the latest Oblivion patch for the language version on your original install disk.

 

Be sure to get your patch from the official Bethesda site where they have FREE patches for every language version, There are 2 English versions, UK & US be sure to get the one that matches your disk.
