Game Crashes at New Game After Modding

[Alchimera]

I purchased Oblivion today for PC with the intent to replay it modded. I have modded Skyrim to my heart's content with little to no problems, but have come across a glaring problem when trying to start enjoying Oblivion again. After selecting the mods and an ENB I wanted, I went to start a new game and it simply crashed. I have tried disabling each esp / esm on my list individually to try to see if they were the source of the problem, even disabling my ENB and DarNified which do not appear on the load order list. I made sure to sort the mods with LOOT before launching. I have also downloaded and installed the script extender, but I don't think it's the problem. All downloads / installations were done via NMM, except for those that had to be performed manually or with OBMM. I am at my wit's end trying to solve this, and don't want to uninstall and reinstall the game just to start over.

If anyone can figure this out for me, I'd be grateful.

Update: After uninstalling and deleting all mods and the game, as well as deleting the Oblivion folder on my disk and reinstalling from Steam, the game now crashes before the Bethesda logo even appears. I am unsure of where the problem is at all.

Generally, crashes upon opening the game are caused by a missing master (essentially, a missing requirement in the form of an esm or esp). To clarify, you were originally able to start the game, but could not start a new game (did you try downloading a save and loading it, or just starting a new game?). Currently, you have a clean install but can no longer even start the game. This is correct?

[Alchimera]

Yes, it was originally clean and then crashed after modding. I only attempted to start a new game though

[Oblivionaddicted]

Did you start your new game with mods?

[Alchimera]

Did you start your new game with mods?

 

I've done it both with and without

 

I have found the source of the problem now, but have no idea how to solve it. It appears to be coming from Oblivion Reloaded, as I went back and manually downloaded the mods again testing after each, and it broke again after that

[beldaran1224]

Are you absolutely certain that you have the requirements for OR? For instance, the redistributable is mentions must be manually downloaded - many people assume that such things are retroactive - that having an up-to-date Windows install includes this. It does not. Also make sure any options are properly configured.

 

If all of this is confirmed and the problem still persists, try disabling most of the features and enabling them one by one. Its possible that one of them is causing the issue. Also, are you using the latest version of OR (6.2.0)?
