Intense troubles with FCOM

[kiakro]

Ok, so this may be rather unoriginal but FCOM isn't playing nice with me. I've been following the cheat sheet from devnull, googling and forum searching for similar scenarios and problems but the most success I've had this entire time trying to install just FCOM's basic mods and options is crashing after creating a character. I will post my load order and I'll be here, all night tomorrow and probably day after if I must lol. I think my brain ran away on me.

This is before a Wrye Bash on the 0patch. Everything seems to fail after that, I've speculated that maybe I have to many things merged but even cheat sheet tells me to mark all levelers and merge everything possible. So the step I am at right now, is about to Wrye Bash FCOM's 4 basic overhauls. Is there anything apparent to anyone else in my load list that isn't right? Like I'm trying to understand and wrap my head arround the large wealth of terms and processes involved with FCOM and it's supported utilities. So please if anyone can offer something constructive it'd be better than reinstall #19 with nothing learned. Thanks in advance.

[kiakro]

I've also begun to wonder if I need COBL included. When I try rebuild patch it lists cobl catalogs with no check marks and cobl exhaustion with two check markable items Assorted_exhaust.csv and kmacg94_exhaust.csv. I have COBL in my back up mods folder incase I do need to add it in. I have all the tools really, just need some clarity on the order of events I guess. I know if I bash right now, it will result in the same crashing ,0patch.

[moonsun]

Remove MMM - Gem & Gem Dust, Farm animals, Francesco's Dark Seducer Weapons Patch, FCOM ruin. I say TIE too. When I was installing FCOM, I don't even use these.

 

I follow this guide http://www.oblivionmodwiki.com/index.php/FCOM

 

Next time, if using wrye bash, go to mods, right click where it say Files, go down to List Mods, copy and past for better to read.

[HeyYou]

Not to mention DevNull's site is rather outdated. WarCry is now version 1.09.... should update that. and:

 

TIE In - FCOM Convergence.esp [Version 1.2b]

•Note: Do not use with the modular plugins!

 

This might be a problem too.......

 

There is a thread on the beth forum for installing FCOM, that gets updated regularly... Have a Look.

Thank you, see there is so much info and attempts at FCOM arround that it's hard to sort out whats current, broken and what have you. Will poke my head in there.

Thank you, see there is so much info and attempts at FCOM arround that it's hard to sort out whats current, broken and what have you.

Exactly what I thought when I started a new install (I didn't quite get all 160+ mods right last time). So I started a thread documenting my latest attempt, which may help you find some of the up-to-date facts you need. It isn't fully completed yet, and it is for a Steam version of Oblivion, but the first 3 posts cover the installation of uFCOM on a clean install - all the way through to the Bashed Patch.

[MrDoctorDD]

If you are intent on getting fcom to work, I'd focus on that.

 

Backup your mods and start a fresh install of oblivion with FCOM in mind.

 

I'd install on C as opposed to program files due to issues you'll run into.

 

Check out FCOM

 

It is a bit outdated, but will get you going.

 

I use FCOM, and a few of the major mods like Midas, Unnecessary Violence, Deadly Reflex 5.0 (235 mods in total) and get no ctds.

 

I recommend Wryebash, obmm, and boss.

 

I believe they are all available here.

[MotoSxorpio]

MrDoctor, That link you gave is the one the OP said he has used, to which HeyYou informed of its outdatedness. And then gave a pretty good link, check it out if you upgrade your install. I always went to the source of the development. Good luck, FCOM is heroic in effort to get completely installed correctly.

[kiakro]

Been taking pot shot attempts at getting it going about once a day now lol. I like the wiki link that was provided after the numerous tries it serves as a great outline. If it fails then I've been just turning on fallout 3 which sadly I finnished up yesterday. So I took a look at the thread link given by Heyyou, looks like a lot of excess information and mods there. I wonder what FCOM is like seems like a legend at this point but here's the Wrye Bash list.

I've updated to 1.09 warcry and it began crashing right after the opening video and would never get me to character creation. With 1.08 it crashes after I create a character, with out it it does the same as having 1.08. I am at a loss of understanding what the issue is, kind of sucks I really wanted to try this.

 

** Let it be noted Oblivion is installed on my secondary drive which avoids all the vista tie ups and program file problems.

At this point I've spent more time/days trying to get this to work, than I would have probably spent playing it. Like literally been every day once or twice attempting this, I appreciate the help and links. Unless someone can point me in a new direction, then I'm probably calling it quits on tes games for a while. All this modding and failing and stuff is just driving me nuts. Maybe I'll find some prearranged superpack or something.
