warpclaw Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi guys I'm new to this game I have Oblivion GOTY along with shivering isles. I wanted to play this game with mods and everything so I followed all the steps from a post I found on this site. The thing is I'm facing many problems now. -My first problem is that I was unable to install Unofficial Mod Patch v1.5 installer version properly. I got an error that said "DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch.esp" requires master "DLCThievesDen.esp" So to fix this error of the missing files I downloaded BOSS and followed all the instructions and got a new error this time it was a system error can't remember what it was. But after three hours of trying I finally got it installed properly. -My second problem is an in-game problem I don't know if its is a bug or something else but I'm updated to the latest version 1.2.0416. So I start the game add one mod like the 3rd person camera and play along with the basic DLC files. I start a new game create my character then I'm get to the part where those three blades are taking the emperor septim out of the castle but when I get to the part when the assasins attack for the first time and then the tutorial ask me to pick up an item from Captain Reno's dead corpse so I go there and there is no way to pick up anything because it does show here name on the side or anything after trying to pick up something from all the dead bodies I manage to get an assasin's cloak and hood but doest work with any other dead bodies at all and it doesn't end their I then go through a opening in the wall kill the rat try to loot it which obviously doesn't work so I try to open a chest but it doesn't show me the chest name that I can use the activate or open on. Only the doors could open without keys or lockpicks. But before this when I started playing oblivion on the old patch without any mods or anything else it worked perfecty fine until I get to the sewer and I cannot open the sewer after Barus gives the key to open the door to the sewers cause I don't see the sewer name or anyting. So I tap my action button the spacebar really fast and go around the sewer for 10 mins and nothing happens so I hold down and go around it for another 10 mins and nothing happens. So on then newly updated oblivion I deselect all the other mods and only keep the default one the masterfile and still it doesn't work. I even modified my controls and everything. I made 3-4 new character each from a different race and they all have this problem. It doens't seem like its due to the mods because I just deleted all of them from my data folder an then tried to play that game still I'm facing the same problem or is it due to the version before I played on a v1.15 but still I could not get through the sewer. So does any1 have any idea on how to solve this issue cause I was searching the internet for a solution but didn't find any. Thanks in advance....

bben46 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 First problem. What it is saying is you cannot patch the thieves den because there is no thieves den mod installed to patch. If you have GOTY, it comes with Shivering Isles. When you install the second disk it also installs the Oblivion 1.2.0416 patch. So you should have the latest Official patch. Just deselecting a mod does not remove it, it just does not load the esp file when you start the game. It still loads any mesh and texture files from the mod (dumb yes, but that's the way it works). To completely remove a mod you MUST go into the texture and mesh folders and remove the parts that the mod put there. OR, learn to use the OMOD feature in OBMM to install mods. It allows a one click mod removal, with a one click install after the mod is converted to OMOD format. If you can give us a mod load order list it might help with troubleshooting.How to post a Load order list article http://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I reinstalled the game like 5 times just to get it working perfectly wouldn't that delete all the mods? BTW I don't use OBMM but I will use it from now on. Ok so here is the list of all the mods. -Oblivion.esm-Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp-DLCShiveringIsles.esp-Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp-Ultimate 3rd Person Camera.esp-DLCHorseArmor.esp-DLCHorseArmor - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCOrrery.esp-DLCOrrery - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCVileLair.esp-DLCVileLair - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCMehrunesRazor.esp-DLCMehrunesRazor - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCSpellTomes - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCThievesDen.esp-DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch - SSSB.esp-DLCBattlehornCastle.esp-DLCBattlehornCastle - Unofficial Patch.esp-DLCFrostcrag.esp-DLCFrostcrag - Unofficial Patch.esp-Knights - Unofficial Patch.esp One more thing I'm also experiencing a lot of crashes during start up. The moment I click play it loads then a black screen appears and I'm back on my desktop. I even deleted the oblivion.ini and other *.ini files in my document since it worked for most people but I'm still having crashes. It only works if I have Oblivion.esm selected. Man this is driving me nuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeldarb Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (1)You want to clean everything out of your data file that is not a bsa,esp or esm that is not vannilla.(2) Install the patches correctly-read the readme for it before you install it. Your third person camera mod is probably the cause of all of your problems.(3) Use Oblivion Mod Manager for new mods. If you decide to do a clean reinstallation-install Oblivion to C:Games/Oblivion.

No it won't. It only works if I have Oblivion.esm selected. Man this is driving me nuts...I have no idea what you are trying to say but not having the Oblivion.esm selected means the game can't run.

Man this is driving me nuts... I notice that you list Knights - Unofficial Patch.esp in your load order but you do not list Knights.esp. You must either remove Knights - Unofficial Patch.esp or add Knights.esp (before the patch in your load order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will try that. But are there mods specifically designed for OBMM or any mod can work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the game only runs when I have selected Oblivion.esm and nothing else in my data files and it doesn't crash that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
