Mod Help - Crashing on loading a Save or New Game

[TsugaruRage]

Greetings,

 

It's been a while since I've played but after watching the trailer for the new game I decided to dig Oblivion out from my closet and reinstall it.

I downloaded a bunch of mods and It was working (somewhat) fine, but now after I installed the Better Cities mod, it refuses to load my save games or let me start a new game :(

I tried disabling Better Cities, yet for some reason the problem continues.

 

The mods I have currently are:

Thanks for the reply Fonger

 

Where can I get the said patch?

Also, Why did the crash only start happening after I installed the Better cities mod? :/

It still crashes with "bgBalancingOptionalNPCDiversityKvatchRebuilt, for Wrye Bash.esp" disabled too

 

 

Edit: Well, I ran Wrye Bash but it's still crashing. I followed the FMOD directions too, still... I don't think it crashed due to FMOD. I was playing with it before the BEtter Cities Mod and it worked fine

You need to properly install FCOM. That's likely the sole reason for your troubles. FCOM is a fairly involved installation and possibly what many folks consider the most complex setup to get up and running successfully. As Fonger mentioned FCOM requires Wrye Bash and the use of a Bashed Patch, which apparently you have neither. I suggest you completely start over but this time do your research instead of just going in blindly.

 

Also you apparently installed all of your mods in one batch. That's just a plain horrible idea. Install one by one and test frequently for extended periods of time to ensure stability and compatibility.

Well, I have Wrye Bash and the use of a Bashed Patch now, I just posted it in my edit. I also followed the guide on FCOM's site as well as checking the pictorial guide.

Also, the starting over bit isn't working too. Even with The mods deactivated it won't let me load a saved game.

 

Edit: Actually, With everything deactivated it won't even let me start a new game :(

I have no idea who, I didn't overwrite anything when I installed the mods

Originally, I had smaller mods but I built it up, Thus why I said that it only started crashing after I installed the Better Cities Mod. I didn't just install all of them at once :P

You seem to have misunderstood what I meant when I said: "I suggest you completely start over..." What I meant was to completely start over, from scratch, a fresh installation.

 

Follow Bben's Installation Procedure to ensure a proper and clean re-installation.

Ahhh~, Thanks.

I reinstalled it and then used the same mods and now I'd working fine again. +rep
