And just in case it's useful in any way, here's my specs:

sapphire r9 270x 2gb | FX-8350 | 16gb ram

What is the problem?

I don't use any of the Unique Landscape stuff, but wouldn't the main Unique Landscape.esp go before all of the xul ESPs? What do you use to sort load order?

I use BOSS to sort

[Striker879]

Well that should eliminate any possibility of load order being the problem.

 

Did you just install the game, and if so did you start the game before adding any mods?

 

If it's a problem with Oblivion.ini you can rename Oblivion.ini (found in the Users\[username]\ Documents\My Games\Oblivion folder for Windows versions Vista and newer ... NOT Oblivion_Default.ini found in your game's Oblivion folder). I suggest changing the name to Oblivion_BU.ini and then start the game as far as the main menu. The game will build a new Oblivion.ini based on your hardware. You may need to go through the game setup menus to adjust your screen resolution etc, and if you have any Oblivion.ini tweaks with your previous Oblivion.ini you can transfer those over from your backup Oblivion_BU.ini (but I would do that one at a time, and test in between).

 

- Edit - Also, it appears you are maybe using Wrye Bash (though I don't see a bashed patch in your load order). If you have "lock load order" set in WB and are running BOSS from the BOSS desktop icon (i.e. you are not starting BOSS from within WB) then WB will undo the BOSS sorted load order if you run BOSS and then start WB.

did a new oblivion.ini and it's still crashing

[Striker879]

So are you in fact using Wrye Bash?

No... just BOSS

[Striker879]

You may well be in the situation where your only recourse is to start uninstalling mods and checking until you find the one that's causing trouble. For mods that are dependent on one another like the Unique Landscapes you'll need to uninstall the lot of them to test. Others could be done in groups to speed up narrowing things down or individually.

 

It seems that more often than not the slowest way of installing mods is in fact the quickest ... one mod at a time and test thoroughly in between. When you run into issues using that method troubleshooting is a trivial affair.

 

The tried and true method is install the game and confirm that just the vanilla game is working correctly and setup to your liking before adding any mods.

 

My recommendation is to run through the tutorial dungeon up to the point that you can just see the sewer exit in the distance (i.e. before you get the character finalization menus) and make a save. This save will come in handy if you decide to create another character but don't want to go through the tutorial again. Exit the sewer and make another save, not overwriting the before sewer exit save ... this will be your "continue this character after I'm done installing mods" save. Go to the Imperial City Market District and confirm that the game is running vanilla properly. You can make another save in or near the market District to use as a mod testing save or wherever you think will be convenient for testing. Then start adding mods and testing using your testing save.
