FCOM Troubles...

[tackett5150]

So, I've followed the FCOM First-Time User Install instructions many times over, and always manage to mess something up. I fewl like I understand how to use Wrye Bash to bring all the mods together, and have managed to get as far as the character creation screen before... but when I try to integrate a few additional aspects of Mart's and FCOM to the list, things go awry. Any help from an experienced FCOMmer would be greatly appreciated... It seems to want to work, the intro video of Emperor Septim plays, but then CTD afterwards, before the load screen that precedes character creation (if there is one, which I believe there is)

2E Bashed Patch, 0.esp

 

I've followed both the FCOM Expanded Load Order and FCOM Basic Load Order guides, as well as trying to follow other general load order guidelines, and I guess I'm missing something critical.

 

Please help... I've had a small taste of what FCOM is like and will never be able to see vanilla Oblivion in the same way

I think you should install the UOP, but anyway, you have only a few errors:

 

24 Mart's Monster Mod - Gems & Gem Dust.esp [Version 3.7b3p3] <-- Remove, already merged into OOO, get the OOO OBSE version (you can search "OOO OBSE") if you want a more enhanced version of this

2A Mart's Monster Mod - Less Rats.esp [Version 3.7b3p3] <-- Remove, use FCOM versions of "No XX" or "Less XX" when available

2B Mart's Monster Mod - Safer Roads.esp [Version 3.7b3p3] <-- Remove, use "FCOM_XX" when available

Do you have the MMM BSA renamed? It should be named "FCOM_Convergence - Mart'sMonsterMod.bsa" or something equivalent.

 

Some other LO tips: You should deactivate plugins with green, purple or italicized text. (If the bashed patch is deactivated after unchecking an italicized plugin, restart Wrye Bash to fix the incorrect italicizing.)

 

 

Edit: Rebuild FCOM Bashed Patch <-- Guidelines
