Chronic CTD after installing Race Mod

[UncleRoe]

I recently downloaded one of the custom races(abyssdemon) and since the install i've had problems loading towns and fighting in certian towns as the game crashes to the desktop randomly. On a not so random CTD. Anytime i try to enter Skinrad or weynon priory(only two i tested) i CTD. This is after i've uninstalled the mod,deleted textures and meshes,loop files. I think the mod directly changed the skeleton files but if i delete those my game probally won't work at all as it replaced original skeleton files. I need to know if i can find the default files anywhere so i can replace the ones i have or if there is a repair i can use to fix my files. i am using the latest patch with shivering isles installed.

 

On a side note. I loaded a clean save(no mods) from when i first started playing and mapped to weynon only to CTD. Also even though the abyssdemon esp is not active, i still use some of the animation. i need to know how to get rid/replace these animations.

To get rid of the animation, you can delete the idle anims folder in Meshes\Characters\_Male

 

This does sound like a data files issue since deactivating plugins does not help. Is it possible that this is an issue with the skeleton?

That's what i am thinking. I just don't know how to fix/replace the skeleton files. I know i should have backed them up like a good boy but i was excited about the mod and quickly installed it without backing anything up..which i regret now. I will try deleting the idleanimation folder though i think i went in there earlier and deleted anything to do with the mod. Though now i am remembering that i didn't test out my animations after i did that. This will probally get rid of the animation glitch for me but the big problem is still a problem. If you are anyone else reading knows where i can replace/fix please reply. I've only been playing oblivion for a few weeks now and i am somewhat fixated on the gameplay and these crashes are killin the mood lol.

 

EDIT: Got my animations back to normal. Tried mapping to a different town again and still CTD'ing. Thing is i can fast travel to any part of IC no problem but if i try mapping to one of the smaller towns like bravil or the towns i mentioned in my starting post, i crash right after the load screen finishes. i really don't want to re-install this.

 

i just did some file searching to see if i could spot the problem myself and noticed that the mod installs a file labled "Skeletonbeast" (beth art file). i do not know if this file replaced an original art file or if this is a standalone skeleton file so i can't go about getting rid of it without some help. If anyone knows what this is please answer.

 

EDIT EDIT: (lol) I just decided to backup the file and see what would happen if i ran the game without it. The game crashed before i could load my game. So "Skeletonbeast" must be a required file. It's also however,the skeleton file that is giving me trouble. Abyssdemon doesn't modify the "Skeleton" file,just the "Skeletonbeast" file. so this narrows it down for us.

I actually spotted this from another googled post on these forums after reading your last comment.. it's twilight zone irony that you actually posted it helping somone else with skeleton issues. I got impatient and re-installed last night. It seems to have fixed the town CTDs for me. i will probally still download the compatibility mod since it doesn't seem to conflict with anything but stop alot of things from conflicting. thanks for your time.

I think what it does is install a skeleton.nif and beastskeleton.nif that support most common skeletal extensions, thus making supporting nearly all mods that require various skeletal tweaks.
