The minimizing happens when you click on something on your desktop (like an icon or the taskbar) and that item "steals focus" forcing the game into the background. There are a few other things that can cause it too: having chat programs open (yahoo, msn, xfire, gameface, trillion), having a browser or explorer window open, using a media player while the game is running (wmp, itunes, realplayer).

list the mods your using and your load order. Not enough info from you and woogie's tips are very good ones!

[Khet]

One way to prevent the minimizing/crashing (if you can't live without your chat programs, or like me NEED music) then when you load up your save an Alt-Tab seems to work for me, and then alt-tab back in game.

 

With the lack of information though, in terms of the items, make sure you've installed the mod correctly. When you're installing new weapons/armor or whatever else, you can't just drop the esp in the data folder and go. You need to place the Meshes and Textures folder from the download AND the esp in your data folder, and then say Yes when you're asked to merge the folders. DO NOT RENAME ANY FOLDERS!

General Load-Order Guidelines

 

 

Here are the guidelines that I adhere to, personally.

 

~ Unofficial Oblivon Patch should always be first on the list. The fixes are great, but most aren't essential, so if a mod overwrites them its not a big deal, and the fixes have the potential for screwing up other mods if loaded later.

 

~ Offical Content (DLC's) should be loaded last, until you complete all quests associated with them (that includes buying all furniture for the houses and whatnot). Once they're complete, they can be safely moved up in the list. This is especially important for Knights of the Nine, which will have some fairly major problems unless loaded last (unless you get the UOP for KotN)

 

~ Major overhaul mods (OOO, Frans, MMM) should be loaded near the end. That gives you the most complete experience with any of those particular mods. It also lets you carefully choose which other mods to load afterwards... only move mods that you know will conflict and that you want the changes from. For example, I have Improved Soul Gems below OOO because I know that OOO changes the icons of some of the SG's, and ISG needs to be below to show through.

 

Some people will recommend putting larger mods first, but personally I disagree. There are a number of mods out there that make minor tweaks, and loading after a large mod will end up completely overwriting a chunk from one of the bigger mods because of the way conflicts work in Oblivion (even one minor change will take precedence over the entire record... for example, simply tweaking the speed of a weapon can cause every stat of that weapon to be retained to vanilla levels if loaded later).

 

So basically, it stacks up like this...

 

Oblivion.esm

Unofficial Oblivion Patch

<Minor Mods / DLC's (Post-Completion)>

<Major Overhaul Mod/Mods>

<Mods that specifically conflict with overhauls and need to take precedence>

<DLC's (Pre-Completion)>

 

 

 

Expanded Load-Order Guidelines

by dev_akm

 

I would extend this to include:

 

Oblivion.esm

Unofficial Oblivion Patch

<Weather/Environment/Sound Mods>

<Minor Mods/New Items/Houses/DLC's (Post-Completion)>

<Major Overhaul Mods>

<Mods that specifically conflict with overhauls and need to take precedence>

<DLC's (Pre-Completion)>

<Quests>

<Compatibility Patches/UOMP/Merged Leveled Lists>

 

And a special-case warning for Knights.esp (Knights of the Nine) -- you may not be able to move it earlier than some other mods (some people have had problems after moving it before OOO, for example).

 

That's basically the structure I use and I have 140+ mods working well together.

 

Another way of describing this (posted by DMan77):

....

Oblivion

unoffical patch

Deeper realism mods that add sights and sounds

added content like weapons/items

gameplay changes, like 'must eat and sleep'

The OOO type

the 'new begining' type mod..

...

ok so i want to put the textures first then weapons and armour then the big stuff like the apachii store and where would cm partners go?

 

oh and for the 2 Omods at the end i have no idea were they are in the load order soo :confused:

and nights of the nine and shivering isles would come last?
