elpemmy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hello there!After a long time away from Oblivion, I've come back, and with the help of a friend, downloaded some truly excellent mods for playing!Sadly, when I loaded up after installing these mods, when I pressed escape to skip the clips, it crashed. I tried again, and it did the same. When I let it run through the clips, it crashed half way through, so I took out all the mods I downloaded, and it worked. I put them back in, one by one, and discovered it was the Elder Council mod that cause the problem.So, my question.. Does it have any particular requirements? OBSE, or SI for example? Or is it something else?Please help, I desperately wanted to play that mod!Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaugain Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don't think that you need OBSE to run The Elder Council mod, although it's good to have it (OBSE) for other mods that require it. Check this thread: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showto...65325&st=10 ... . You may probably find your answer there. Hope this help. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowcran Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 OBSE is worth having like Gaugain said. A lot of good mods require it and it isn't a large download even with my lousy dialup, so no problems there. Welcome back to Oblivion btw. Another help for you would be to download the Oblivion Mod Manager. This is an extremely useful tool for organizing mods, plus backing up your files, plus checking for potential problems. Another very good download to get is the Unofficial Oblivion patch. It's a bit larger, but fixes a ton of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearlessHamster Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The Elder Council requires OBLIVION PATCH v1.2 and Shivering Isles v1.2It is all mentioned in the description: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16701 Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varus Torvyn Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'm running all 7 of Giskard's mods (collectively called "Cyrodiil Upgrade"). None of them require OBSE. Load-order is critical for quest-mods of this complexity, however. I have found that Random's "FCOM Helper" does a fine job of load-ordering, as it takes into account what mods change within the game. But OBMM is also needed as a follow-up, as OBMM modifies a hidden file (Plugins.txt) that shows the load-order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpemmy Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 But it definetely requires Shivering Isles? That's a shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearlessHamster Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 But it definetely requires Shivering Isles? That's a shame...Yes it does, most of Giskard requires it, sorry. Always read the Read Me files for mods before installing them. It just takes a few minutes but saves a lot of trouble. They often countains information crucial for the mod to work. For example requirements, special installation instructions and information about compatibility with other mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of mods I would have liked to add to my game, but after digging through the Mod Descriptions & Readme files, I have found incompatibilities. Like you said, reading them first helped me to avoid a lot of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpemmy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I ussually read them first, but I read almost all of the information on the download page (except I swear I'm going blind, which is how I missed the stuff at the top) and it looked just a copy of that so I didn't bother.Ah, I guess I'll have to get SI then. When I found some money...Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
