ArlyBarly Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi there, I've been a fan of Oblivion for years and have always at some point in the year played it. I recently discovered I still had the disks working in a draw, installed them and started downloading mods because hey, I used to do that. Back then, it was extremely easy and simple. Now however, I'm extremely confused. Wyre bash? what is this. I've installed it somehow and used it to install all my mods, OBSE, my oblivion is up to date and I also have OBMM for certain mods yet still nothing works. I can't even open Oblivion without it instantly crashing. I'm using Windows 8. Here are screenshots of the mods and load order in Wyre Bash. http://i.gyazo.com/268c7ee5af9d980e22750124ba6e0603.png I've tried merging that Cobl Filter Late thing and it doesn't really merge at all? http://i.gyazo.com/059fe5115fa4deee8b5f9e5c6a31b266.png These are the mods on OBMM http://i.gyazo.com/bab01be9824429c7102c35f839361343.png its just sort of really frustrating that I can no longer play a much loved game because I'm sorry, but Vanilla Oblivion without mods isn't as fun... xD If someone could help me or tell me what I need to remove then I'll gladly do that. I just...??? what the heck is even going on. Thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Missing master crash (notice the red highlighted Better Imperial City.esp ... if you check I'm sure it requires Better Cities Resources.esm as a master and maybe more). Sort your load order with BOSS and then build a bashed patch. Details on how to use Wrye Bash can be found in the two readme files found in the Mopy\Docs folder (Wrye Bash General Readme.html and Wrye Bash Advanced Readme.html).

ArlyBarly Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Hi! Thank you for that, I've had some trouble with that .esm before and didn't really think much of it. I think I've fixed it as the red has gone away. However, even after doing all that it's still crashing. :C Updated mod list: http://i.gyazo.com/2cd0a747a8fb8deb4683d80d892fc9ad.png http://i.gyazo.com/79c1b01945358c4c941296a05c1e1a0c.png Edited May 29, 2015 by ArlyBarly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sort your load order with BOSS. Your load order is seriously messed ... ESMs spread out all through your load order (all should be at the top) and who knows what other stuff in the wrong order (I don't use Better Cities so no clue what order that stuff should be in). Your bashed patch should be at the end of your load order not way up near the start (there are some mods need to be sorted after the bashed patch ... they will tell you so in their mod descriptions/install instructions). Stop manually sorting your load order unless you know what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArlyBarly Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thank you so much, I really do appreciate the help. However, even after using BOSS to fix my load order, the game still crashes upon startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Why are you using the MMM and OOO COBL patches? Without MMM and OOO installed those will give you a missing master crash. The COBL Filter Late Merge should be the only thing showing pink when you have your load order properly sorted (look in those readmes I mentioned and you'll find an explanation of what the colours mean).

ArlyBarly Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 They were installed when I installed a mod [i've forgotten which one it was.] I've removed them and the late merge is the only thing remaining. But now after rebuilding the patch I get some other error. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Not much anybody can do to help with that much info ... "some other error" covers an awful lot of ground. - Edit - Are you sorting that load list with BOSS run from the Wrye Bash interface (hover your mouse over the icons at the bottom of the WB window and you'll find one for BOSS). I think you have lock load order turned on (a good thing) but have been running BOSS from outside WB and then when you start Wrye it tells you it changed the file dates, right?

ArlyBarly Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Haha sorry! It was just an issue with UAC I think. But yes I was using it from Wyre Bash but it wasn't saving the file load. Each time I went into Wyre Bash I'd have to reset the load order to the BOSS list. I've decided to just try and re-install and retry everything.

Striker879 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 If you decide you want to get the game out from under UAC's tyranny you can use bben46's wiki article Oblivion reinstall procedure as a guide. If you use the Steam version of the game don't miss the link near the top of the page about moving your Steam install location, and don't skip the registry cleaning step ... it's important.
