Help requested.

[iXimeko]

I would appreciate any help. I've been getting or at least trying to the best of my ability to get these files to work. The mods I am using:

 

Midas Magic

Skip Introduction Tutorial

 

I'm merely only using TWO of these mods and when I launch this game up it opens until it shows a black screen (or at least a slightly dark screen that indicates the game is loading) but after that it turns to another tinted dark screen meaning it immediately exits the game. So I am stuck having no idea how to fix this. I do have the 1.2 patch and I believe I do have the requirements for the Midas Magic. I got the Modular add-on installed too.

 

If I could have help on this please I would appreciate it. Please and thank you. I patiently await a response.

 

Edit notice - I forgot to mention that I also installed texture files to color the map and it's map markers. Along with a new main menu video.

Do you have OBSE? and the latest patch? v1.2.0416 - Many mods will not work without them

 

OBSE, available hers: http://obse.silverlock.org/

 

Note that OBSE is not a mod and does not install like a mod. And it MUST be started instead of Oblivion (it automatically starts oblivion when it loads)

 

Patches here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

Be sure to get the patch that matches your game language, if you have Shivering Isles ONLY use the Shivering Isles patch, If niot, ONLY the latest Oblivion Patch.

 

I also recommend OBMM - Oblivion Mod Manager - it makes it much easier to manage mods, especially after you have a dozen or so.

Also not a mod - be sure to read the instructions

Thank you so much for the help. I downloaded OBSE and I do have the Oblivion Mod Manager.

 

So I did what must be done for OBSE and used the OBSE loader and it didn't correctly work... or help. The same problem just came back.

 

I can provide as much information needed to make this work. I use Windows Vista and Oblivion IS up to date with the patch. I have the GOTY version. And here is a more... detailed look at my mods:

NOTICE: I switched most NO OBSE files to OBSE and it still didn't work.

 

And I do run this game via Oblivion Mod Manager... least until I got the script enabler.

Few days and I'm still getting the problem. I'd appreciate help to the best anyone can give me. I would have waited longer but if I can get a response now then I can hopefully ether work on it with feedback or wait longer.

I'm just a dumb bunny when it comes to this sort of thing so I hope that you'll forgive me if I am wrong. I noticed that you use Vista. Did you install Oblivion to the default directory? That can cause mods to misbehave. If so uninstall the game and create a new folder on your C: drive and call it "Games". It is best to install all of your game titles to here. I install directly to the C: drive itself, but either is good. The default location will run afoul of Vista and Win 7's UAC Security Protocols. I do hope that this helps. Once again I am sorry if it does not.

Alright. I'll see if it works. Though where can I put OMM? It's hard since I made my own directory be located in a new folder called 'Games'.

[Rabbit1251]

OBMM will install directly into your Oblivion directory. Are you saying that you already have a "games" folder and that you have Oblivion installed to it? If so that would be fine and it would then not be the source of your troubles.
