Help! +100 Strength bug with no mods active!!!

[MasterDRD]

EDIT: Please IGNORE the rest of this post and skip down to the 3rd post for the current issue, the 1st is already solved... (thanks to ptbptb)

 

 

 

I recently re-re-reinstalled Oblivion on my new computer, GOTY edition with SI and KOTN, and after testing it to see if I could run it with any sort of graphics now (I can! :biggrin: ) I installed a bunch of mods , dl'ed a bunch of new ones, and started playing. (Honestly though in the last 3 days I've spent much more time downloading and installing mods than playing...)

Anyway I noticed when checking my attributes after the first couple batches of mods that my Strength was 145 (I'm at lvl 1, no statboosting items or effects.) I checked the effects page in the spell tab, but the only active effects were my Thief birthsign and Ren Mystic Elf race abilities... (resistances, I forget the exact ones but nothing to do with attributes) I disregarded it until, about an hour ago, I actually got into a fight with something (it was the Greyland quest where you kill the skooma dealer for his ring) and I oneshotted him. I was using one of throttlekitty's rapiers, no enchants. Anyway, I spent the next 30 minutes disabling mods 1 at a time that were installed the 1st time I noticed the boost. After that I disabled ALL my mods and loaded Oblivion. (interesting thing to note, all nonvanilla items vanished, the dlc notes from frostcrag, etc vanished, and my character vanished too. The Mystic Elf effects were gone, but the Mystic Elf greater power Dragon Skin was still there, despite the mod being disabled...)

Point being, with ALL mods off including all official dlc, my Strength was STILL 145, and the number was green, telling me it was effect-based despite having no mods, enchanted items, etc! WTF!!! :wallbash:

 

So um, if anyone might possibly know the problem, I would really like to know... Alternately, if someone who knows how to mod could create a -100 Strength effect similar to WPhealthregen, a spell effect not tied to any item? (or tied to a weightless quest item whose name starts with z so it'd be at the bottom of my list) I would really appreciate that too. It really drains all the fun out of fighting if I can oneshot everything until I get to a much higher level... :confused:

Install Unofficial Oblivion Patch and click the key it adds. The menu includes an option to restore broken stats.

 

You might as well get Unofficial Oblivion Patch Hotfix v323a Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch and Unofficial Official Mods Patch at the same time. :thumbsup:

So UOP fixes it, eh? I hope that works... Now I just need to figure out a way to download it without getting a timeout error. :glare:

 

EDIT: Why as a matter of fact UOP did solve my problem! I still have no idea what caused it in the first place though... But now I have a new error. For some reason now I have a graphical glitch that really f***s up my vision by blocking it. There's an odd triangular black shape with the point originating from the center of my crosshair that shifts around as I move or look around, blocking my sight! It persists in 3rd person and even in flyingcamera mode. I did not have this before, so it must be from a mod I downloaded in the last half-day, or else some load order conflict... My most recent mods are Merchants_Always_Buy_Stolen_Items-22713, Quiet_Feet-1999, Unofficial_Oblivion_Patch_v3_2_0_Installer_Version-5296, UOP_324_Hotfix-27710, Streamline_3dot1_Open_Beta-10400, Streamline_3dot1_Open_Beta_Patch-10400, colourwheels_Sexy_Stock_Armor_and_clothing_Replacer_v2_2-23143, ColourWheels_Sexy_casual_wear_v1_2a-20794, Colourwheels_Sexy_Female_NPCs-22951, Cheydinhal_Petshop_v17-2054, Colourwheels_Sexy_SI_armor_Clothing_Replacer-23240 (and Cw seduchess Dress Fix), Colourwheels_Sexy_Knights_of_the_Nine_HGEC_v1_2-23159, the unofficial official mods patch, and the 4 fixes for colourwheels_Sexy_Stock_Armor_and_clothing_Replacer_v2_2-23143. (Fixed_Ebony_Cuirass_1st_person-23143, fixed_mithril_cuirass_mesh-23143, MythicDawn_Helmet_fix_and_updated_ESP_file-23143, Updated_mesh_files_fixed_female_leather_file_path-23143)

I read in another topic about Streamline causing graphical errors so I'll try uninstalling it, but I'm not sure that's the cause because I downloaded that yesterday and the bug started today...
