Be sure you are starting using OBSE.

Use BOSS to set load order: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20516

I have OBSE but OBMM wont detect it. I always use BOSS to sort my mods but that also won't seem to work.

Please direct me where to put OBSE in my oblivion folder?

If you have any mods that require OBSE and it is not loaded first, you get exactly what you described.

 

OBSE is not a mod and does not install like a mod. You MUST read the included instructions to install it. Then you MUST always start OBSE before Oblivion - it will automatically start Oblivion after it finishes loading. And both OBMM and Wrye Bash have buttons to start OBSE.

 

If you have steam, there s a special instruction in the OBSE install procedure.

 

If you have either Vista or Win7, and have installed the game in the default location, UAC may block some things such as certain mods & OBSE.

[Maigrets]

You have two esps related to Martigen's Monster Mod, but you don't have MMM as far as I can see or you didn't list it. That will stop the game loading at start up exactly as you describe because the MMM Master file is missing.

 

Remove these two files:

Open Cities + Cats & Rats for MMM.esp

Martigen's Monster Mod - Resized Races.esp

 

Try running BOSS again to set your load order. Except for a couple of exceptions your Bashed Patch should be at the bottom of the list.

activate Kvatch rebuilt-OOO compatibility, and merge into patch.

replace Natural_weather with all natural.

Remove Living economy and Living economy items (Enhanced economy is the replacement, so you don't need both.)

Move ElaborateEyes above patch, and import to patch.

Run the "mod checker" at the bottom of Wrye bash (Looks like a pad and pencil), make sure "suggestions" is selected, and follow instructions it gives you.

When i try and load BOSS it keeps saying that i do not have the master .esm file. I have tried reinstalling it but it still isnt working. Any ideas?

[bben46]

It sounds like you are treating BOSS like a mod. It is not a mod and does not either install or run like a mod. It runs OUTSIDE of the game and is not a part of the game at all. You run BOSS without running the game at all. And once it has run with a particular set of mods, there is no need to run it again. It passes the new list to a file that the game uses to set load order each time the game is started.

 

Please read the instructions. There is no esm file, the master file is included with the initial download, but is also updated periodically - check the documentation for newer more up to date master files.
