Game Crashes Using Mods...didnt Happen Until Recently

[robedits]

Trying to make this short:

I've got a new rig,running Oblivion at max rez,everything running smoothly,high FPS etc etc. So its not my rig...or the game.

BAsically finished the game,just doing a few random missions not completed yet.

Have d'loaded dozens of mods,with an eye out for conflicting mods,etc. Have NOT updated the game with latest game patch,due to all the problems I have read about it.

NONE of the mods I have used(various buildings,lands,weather mods,BT mod,etc) have crashed my game thus far UNTIL the last few days. I d'loaded and used a few more mods in the last few days:treehouse,new weather inside,skingrad-rosenthal(??) hall,etc. Although the mods (except for a treehouse) load and seem to work OK,as SOON AS I enter anyone's HOUSE now...in ANY land ANYwhere,the game crashes to desktop,no message.

ONly houses that allow me to enter are the Topal House mod house and Ki-something manor mod. ANY OTHER building I enter causes me to CTD.

So,I had a recent save-game backup dating back a week or so,and I reinstalled those saves,and got rid of what I THOUGHT were the offending mods. Even with an earlier saved game,where EVERY location worked BEFORE these mods took effect over the last several days,causes me to CTD whenever I enter ANY building. ALSO,whenever I now tried to save a game in ANY area,my game ALSO CTDs.

I realize I can uninstall and reinstall,etc,but how do I know what save is safe to use (I've tried sevral,.dating back a month or so,all with the SAME house-entering and saved-game crash now),and which mod is also safe? I dont know how to "track" which mod screwed my game up.

Suggestions? ANyone else with this problme recently?

As stated,mI've got a new Dell XPS,ATI 1900 something vid card,everything running fine full rez,no problems with any other games,system scanned and defragged,virus free etc etc. HELP please!

We need your exact specs - CPU, Vid card model, RAM. Also how many and what mods you are running. I know how much fun mods are - I had up to 200 running. But once I decided to load Qarls parralax textures, OOO and Unique landscapes as well, then the trouble started. I logged Windows activity task Manager and found the game was committing up to 1.6 GB between RAM and swap file when running. The load change when moving from interior and exterior is tremendous, because of the autosave feature trying to capture savegame settings at the same time as loading the exterior.

I think you'll just need to bite your lip and install the official update patch from Bethesda first.

 

Many mods will depend on the game being of the correct version, otherwise they may not load properly (or at all).

 

For the record, the only really MAJOR change that the official update patch made was to remove the nipples from the female Oblivion characters. :P "What nipples," you may ask..? The ones that the devs hid under the female characters' bra tops... the ones that got Oblivion busted by the ESRB and resulted in its rating being raised from "Teen" to "Mature." Talk about "much ado about nothing..."

 

Anyway...

 

The official patch supposedly fixed a few video stuttering bugs and so forth, but I frankly think that's a smoke screen... LOL. Anyway, if you're having troubles with newwer mods, this may very well be why.

 

Also keep in mind that if you install the official patch into an already modded installation, many of the file timestamps may change and those mods will need to be re-installed, anyway.

 

What a mess, eh..? I wish I could be more encouraging...
