Crashing After "Unexpected Voyage" Quest

[jakelad]

If you can, please help, this is driving me mad. Oblivion has been working like a dream for a good few days of RL gameplay, BUT (always a BUT with Oblivion...), I just played through the great "Unexpected Voyage" quest (IC waterfront), and then when I need to rest in the lower deck bed in order for the ship to go back to port, I get a CTD. I have checked online, apparently there is some glitch if you have the "Elven Maiden" quest active while doing this quest, however I don't have it active, and am not even a member of the Thieve's Guild... I also have the UOP of course, which is supposed to fix that glitch even if the quest was active. So, I am at a loss to discover the source of the problem.

 

The only "mod" I recently installed was QTPRedimized - all other mods have been loaded for a while and I haven't had any problems. Tried deactivating QTP3R in OBMM, but still get the CTD (I wouldn't imagine a texture pack would have anything to do with this? Esp as my PC is running it fine with good FPS with minimum ~35-40 FPS).

 

Anyone got any ideas? Mod list is:

I'd love to know if you ever found a solution to this crash or not. I'm having the same problem. My game's been pretty stable, and I'm running most of the same mods as you. I did hear a rumor about OOO possibly causing the CTD, but that was a post near 2 years old with a different version of the mod - and I assume that if OOO was causing the problem that we would hear about it more often. From what I can tell this is a pretty rare CTD. I'm trying to work backwards to see if I can determine the cause since I really like this quest from an RP perspective. It's perfect for my luckless thief - and I will have to start her over if I can't move past this crash. Not a huge loss of game time, but still frustrating.

 

At least I can hopefully assume its a mod we have in common.

[HeyYou]

You don't happen to also have the thieves guild quest The Elven Maiden do you?

Nope. I heard about that, and though I am a member of the Thieves' Guild, my only current quest with them is to sell stuff to Ognar. I did however just get past the crash - with all of my current mods intact. I restarted with a new game, and immediately went and did that quest - more out of masochistic perversity than any expectation of a magical solution. Anyway, I kind of rushed through the quest and did only one thing differently - especially as concerns mods the OP and I both have in common. I didn't loot the boat. For whatever reason all the thievery tags are removed from the boat while the quest is in progress - whether this is part of vanilla Oblivion or not, I don't know, but my thief happily made off with gold and food, etc the first time around.

 

My theory is that the conflict and CTD arose is one of two ways. One, it was a mod that removed the thievery tags and that created a problem. Or perhaps OOO's Harvest Containers caused the problem since I quess it maybe changes the state of the containers on the vessel and could ultimately create a conflict.

 

Honestly who knows. That's the joy of Oblivion it seems. Can't play without the mods and can't play with them. At any rate, hopefully my experience will help the next person who googles the Bloated Float CTD.
