Ugh...I Need to Start from Scratch

[ekent]

Hey there. Ok, so a while ago my Oblivion disk was broken (My Rowdy cat Bojangles) and I started using the No-CD Hack. But now, after a while, my Mods have gotten too jumbled and now I can't tell whats what and nothing is really working right. Usually i'd just Uninstall, delete all mods and re-install. It's a good way to make sure i get everything upgraded at once. But, yeah, I don't have a CD now, and i Could go and get another copy, but i'd rather solve this now. I need to know if there is some sort of program or something that could remove any Foreign file from my oblivion folder and take it back to its clean state. I can't really afford the 50 bucks to get another copy at the moment. :wallbash:

 

So..... Any ideas??

 

Cheers,

Ethan :confused:

I think that's because you use No-CD Hack...And if you want to stay on this forum it's better that you get another copy.

Well, No, the failure of my Mods was not due to mine using of a No-CD Hack, it was my own carelessness that i mixed too many mods together. But you are right, i should go down and buy another copy.

I recommend getting a new cat. I can actually visualize a cat chasing a shiny DVD all over the floor and getting it scratched up.

Here is a link to a site that explains how to recover scratched CDs & DVDs

New copies are under US$20 now. For an older version you can find a used one for less than $10. Check out the local game stores that sell used games.

 

Reinstalling is a last resort.

 

If you do not have SI, remove everything from your data folder except:

Contents of a clean install \data folder

 

Music (folder)

Shaders (folder)

Video (folder)

Credits (text)

Oblivion - Meshes.bsa

Oblivion - Misc.bsa

Oblivion - Sounds.bsa

Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa

Oblivion - Voices1.bsa

Oblivion - voices2.bsa

Oblivion.esm

 

With SI

Unmodified Oblivion data with Shivering Isles

This is the data folder with Oblivion & Shivering Isles installed. Before adding any mods.

 

 

Music - Folder

Shaders - Folder

Textures - Folder

Video - Folder

Credits.txt - Text file, not needed

DLCList.txt - Important - needed for Shivering Isles

Oblivion.esm - This is the main Oblivion

DLCShiveringIsles.esp - a dummy (empty)file, but must be here.

DlCShiveringIsles-Textures.bsa

DlCShiveringIsles-Voices.bsa
