ArthumInglorion Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi. I know this is my first post but I have no idea what is going on. I used a couple of mods in Oblivion and yesterday it was working, today I added the Supreme Magicka and the game refuses to start. I am using OBSE and everything that should be required from this mod. I don't know if it's because of my mod loading order or something else but here is a screenshot of my mod list. I would like to know what I'm doing wrong here :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Why are you using SM_MMM.esp (you don't have MMM installed)? Edited November 24, 2016 by Striker879 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthumInglorion Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 No, don't have that mod installed and just removed it from the files. Thanks for pointing that one out to me. I sometimes derp out and this is the first time I used such extensive mods like Supreme Magicka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Troubleshooting is always easiest when you've only added a single mod to a working game and then it breaks ... pretty short list to start looking for the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthumInglorion Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Well considering that my list is mostly official DLC and the game itself with the unofficial patches added I'd say it's still not too long of a list. Plus that one file was breaking my game, deleted it and it's working again. Thanks for the help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 No I wasn't suggesting your load list was long or anything like that. My point was, your's was an easy solve because you only added a single mod to a working game, and then it broke. There are tons of threads here that involve somebody adding a ton of mods to the game at once, of course breaking it, and then expecting anyone to just magically figure out where in their tangled mess is the problem. Modding the game is a journey to be savored and enjoyed ... you have made a good start along that path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthumInglorion Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 So I misunderstood your comment. Well my logic was why add hundreds of mods and see the game break and wonder what did I do wrong if I can add one or two mods and see if it works though I did add them one by one ;) To be honest this is my first foray into modding something like Oblivion but I am enjoying the amount and variety of mods that I can find and give them a shot. And I do agree that it should be something we enjoy and not break the game and blame everyone for not fixing it instantly for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 You will be a welcome addition to our troubleshooting team here Arthum. Most all of what I've learned was through other's mistakes, not my own ... in a way I'm indebted to those "less cautious" types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthumInglorion Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks for the vote of confidence, will have to check this part of the forum more often to learn something more about modding. It certainly does prolong a games life span and how interesting the game can be :) But I do agree that learning on other peoples mistakes is a good thing, at least you don't have to make their mistakes though for most of the people where I live it seems to be a foreign concept xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 These forums used to be a lot busier with problems than they are these days. Even the mod comments interface has slowed down on Nexus Mods Oblivion. Something to keep in mind as you're installing mods ... it's a pretty rare occurrence to run into anything these days that somebody (or a hundred somebodies) hasn't run into already. Looking back through the mod comments is the same as tapping into a gold mine. Psst ... don't tell anyone, but I'm actually an alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
