Problems with Oblivion Mod Manager

[AssAssin40k]

I keep getting messages that some files having to do with the mod manager are corrupt. Upon trying to launch the game, it crashed on start up. I had just installed many mods and so assumed that something was conflicting, but upon deactivating everything except the main oblivion file the game still did not work even after launching the game from steam, not the manager. I also notice that the mod manager says that it will not open because it is already open when it is not and overall feels rather sluggish compared to when i last used it (a long time ago). It also never had any corruption problems last time used it. What happened?

I try to steer people towards the Wrye Bash manager for Oblivion. I understand the Nexus Mod Manager is nice and it is simple. I prefer Wrye Bash for some of its advanced functions myself. I haven't used Oblivion Mod Manager for years now. I understand some people like the Bain installers, but I never found it necessary. I would start with deleting Obmm. Then get rid of all your mods, and find a clean ini (I don't know if it will build one in the case of absence?). Make sure that you get rid of all the folders that came with the mods. If Oblivion still won't start, you will need to make a clean install. If the clean install doesn't work, they you will have to do a more complicated removal, then re-install.

 

I hope that it is as simple as removing obmm. If you experience the problem only after installing numerous mods at once, I hope you learned your lesson. There are some mantras around here. Install one mod at a time is a very common piece of advice. It will waste less time than trying to 'fix' the game.

 

Hope this helps,

edit-

 

again, the steps:

1)remove obmm

2)remove mods

3)clean ini

4)re-install tes4

5)complex removal, then clean install

 

Try the game after each of these steps. If you need help with step 5, pm me or ask here.

The reason I use OBMM is because it know how to use it and I do not believe that the Nexus Manager works for the older mods not specially tailored to it.
