Light setup - Game won't start

[Judassem]

Hi!

 

I've returned to Oblivion after 8 years, and I decided to use only a light setup, just some basic enhancement mods. I have installed all of them with Wrye Bash, except Vilja and OCO 2 (I used NMM for them). I also cleaned all the mods BOSS told me to clean. Here is my mod list, ordered via BOSS:

I also have:

Oblivion Stutter Remover

Blockhead

MenuQue

Optimized Distant Land Max (50%)

LowPoly Grass

Coolsims Hair Pack

Oblivion Stereo Sound Overhaul

DarkUI'd Darn

 

I also used "Irresponsible Creatures" and "DarNified Books" tweaks in Bashed Patch.

 

The problem is, the game won't even start. It just gives me "Oblivion.exe has stopped working" error. What am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me out?

I believe I read something about DarN and XML files being wrong or something causing CTDs. Are you certain you have it installed correctly?

 

It always seems that installing one mod at a time and testing thoroughly in between is the fastest way to get a modded game running (troubleshooting is a rather trivial affair when you add one mod to a working game and it stops working ... not a very long list of potential causes to the problem to start troubleshooting).

Well, I think it was really caused by DarN, because I deleted my Oblivion.ini file, let the game create a new one, then I installed all the fonts again and now everything seems fine. Will do more tests and update this post if I encounter any new problems. Thank you for your help :)
