Crashing as soon as I hit play game

I recently bought Oblivion and installed the following mods:

 

Unofficial Patch

Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch

Unofficial Mod patch

Natural Environments

Landscape LOD texture replacement

Unique Landscapes

Darnified UI

 

I went to play oblivion, and the main menu comes up where you click settings, tech support, play game, data files, etc. Hit play game, seems to load for a split second, then crashes. Doesn't even make it to the Oblivion main menu. I've tried uninstalling mods and using BOSS to check a log, but everything seems to be fine. Still won't start though. Anyone know a fix to this or may be able to offer some assistance?

I'd do these things.

1. Uninstall Oblivion, then reinstall it. That will make sure that anything that might have gotten modified in the data folder has been restored.

2. If the vanilla game won't start, then you might be looking at driver problems. Nvidia cards used to be notorious for issues. Update your graphics card drivers

3. try and start the game

If you can get into the character creation, then go back and do the unofficial patches. Make sure the load order for those is correct. After the .esm files, UOP needs to load first, the shivering isle patch has to load after DLC shivering isles, and the unofficial mod patches have to load after each on of the DLC.

 

 

If that works, then add darnified. You don't need natural, unique, or lod just yet. Until you get out of the tutorial section you won't see any of the stuff that they change. I'd do the tutorial first, then when you're finally outside, add each one individually and do some playing before adding the next one. It's worth saying that OBMM or Wyre Bash is a really good idea for managing your mods. I use Wyre Bash.

 

At step 3, if the game still fails then do this

 

4. on the screen with the technical support, etc. click Options

5. turn your graphics settings to the lowest possible settings

6. try and start the game

7. if it starts, then go back and slowly increase your settings until it fails again.

 

I hope this helps.
