Uh oh, broke my game?

[eman5112]

Just bought Oblivion GOTY on ebay, and my first time modding it. I've owned vanilla before, and sold it though.

 

Anyway, I've got a problem. I'm, in the very beginning of the game, and you are following the emperor through the tunnel system, just after your attacked by assassins, and the emperor leaves you. There is supposed to be a section of wall that falls away and reveals a passage way. For some reason, that events not triggering. I can, through a hole in that wall, see the passage way, and I went up and down the hallway trying to trigger it, no avail. Is this a common problem? Is there a way it can be fixed? Maybe even just delete that wall in terminal or something?

the only known cause for this problem

 

is a mod interfering with the game.

This is the first time I have heard of this problem.

Some advice for people new to GOTY version

DO NOT install the official oblivion patch. The latest patch is included on the second disk. You must install the second disk to get it. If you do install the official Oblivion patch, then the Shivering Isles patch will not install properly and you will have to reinstall.

 

If you don't want to start the DLCs right away, just leave them unchecked in the data list. When you are ready for a DLC check it and wait a few game days for it to start. Some start right away while others take a while. Every DLC has an unofficial patch (mod)also. They must be installed after the DLC they patch.

 

Use the unofficial patch (mod), it fixes a lot of small aggravations in the game.

 

Use OBMM. It makes working with mods much easier.

Use OBSE, many mods require it.

 

Show us your load order and maybe someone will see something that will help.

Well, I ended up reinstalling oblivion, as I must have had a ton of conflicts. I got past the first issue by turning off all my mods, and re-triggering the falling wall. However, when I turned my mods back on and I got into Imperial city, there were huge yellow shapes inside all the buildings. Disappointing. Gonna try cutting back on some mods, and seeing what happens. If I still have issues, I'll post my list and order here. Thanks

Ok, oblivion won't even launch now :( OBSE (I have that with pluggy) opens it's terminal window, and then the screen goes black, but the game crashes before the Betheseda logo pops up.

 

There's my load order, and I'd like to add Better Cities, COBL, and TNR All Races. Is there any glaring problems? I new at this.

Cobl Races has a TNR version. I am not sure if BOSS works without Wrye Bash, but it will help sorting out load order conflicts, and minimize ctd's if you follow the tips it provides.Just read the readme for BOSS it will work for your game.

[eman5112]

Thanks, I'll look into that.

 

Would it be easiest to use:

FCOM (Just saw it on BOSS page)

UOP

Black Legion Armor

Better Cities

COBL

Symphony of Violence

RAEVWD

Alive Waters

Realistic Waters

Enhanced Waters

Book Jackets

Visually Realistic Lava

cities alive at night

RenGuard overhaul

keychain

Better Letters

Crowded Roads

Body Mod (currently using HGEC)

 

All sorted with BOSS? (Not sure what Wry Bash is, but BOSS page says "Provides Wrye Bash with Bash Patch tag suggestions which it will import." so does it come with it? That cuts down on mod count at least.
