Oblivion CTD while loading saves

SHORT VERSION

When I try to load a saved game, any of them, even brand-new ones, I get a CTD within seconds of loading. Well, not all the time, it'll load maybe 1 out of 5 times. I've tried fiddling with the save files and the .ini, but nothing seems to make much of a difference. I've googled my problem, but I can't find anything quite like this. I don't get any error messages or anything, just a CTD.

 

LONG VERSION

I have a heavily-modded GOTY disc version of Oblivion with hundreds of hours on it. I saw that Steam was offering the game for $5 and thought it would be a good idea to have a digital as well as a disc version, so I bought and downloaded it. I wasn't expecting it to hijack my .ini file and my saves. My original version was all messed up (dunno how to describe it--my mods were deactivated and left the game funky-looking) so I uninstalled and re-installed it. That seemed to fix the graphical problems and reloaded my mods just fine, but now I almost always get a CTD when I try to load any save, even new ones. I can start new games just fine, and everything looks alright, but I can almost never load it or any other.

 

Any help on how to fix this? I'll be happy to give more information if you think you need it.

I have about 150 mods. I can't seem to copy>paste the load order, and it would take too long to write down, so I'm going to see if I can just post screenshots of my OBMM.

I've disabled a few, and now it works more often than it doesn't. Maybe over time I'll wheedle it down until the problem goes away.

I'm afraid that doesn't help. Many mods are displayed abbreviated in OBMM, and loading order is hard to determine. Do you have Wrye Bash? That lists everything in loading order, as well as pointing out mods lacking parents, mod versions, and some conflicts. It also offers tools to repair saved games, and has plenty of other functions (that aren't important right now).

An easy way to post your load order using OBMM is hit the 'Import/Export' button (bottom button on right side) and select 'View load order' from the presented menu. Left click, hold and drag down the entire list to highlight it and then Ctrl + C to copy it. In your forum post here where you want the list to start put in ["spoiler"] without the quote marks need for it to show in this post and then do a Ctrl + V to paste in your load order. At the bottom of the load order put in ["/spoiler"] (again without the quote marks). Wrye Bash offers a more complete and useful active mod list report (to those who know how to interpret it) but this will get your list posted.

I have Wrye Bash, but I haven't learned how to use it yet in any meaningful way.

Click the Mods tab. Right-click above your modlist and select List Mods. Then simply copy the list, here.

 

Since you've added or removed any mods from the game, have you rebuilt your Bashed Patch? It needs to reflect current mod content, or that could be your reason for crashing. Also, under your Saves tab, does the saved game you're trying to load show up with a purple background for the checkmark?
