AGLNM02 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi all, I love playing Oblivion and I am playing it now. However, I am currently having strange problems with the game. When I LEGALLY enter some shops, the shopkeeper dies on entry. Also, when I LEGALLY enter some homes, the owner also dies on entry. As a result, I have to use the resurrect command in the console to resurrect them as that I can complete their quest. Have any other players had these problems and if so, can you please inform me how you solved them? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 For me it was NPCs near city gates spontaneously dying but I narrowed it down to Ashes to Ashes ... which was a real shame as it is a very cool mod. As soon as I uninstalled Ashes to Ashes the unexplained deaths stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivionaddicted Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 What's your load order?Do you remember what you installed before the problem appeared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellape Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This is really neat in Oblivion, that the game do not set an NPC to be dead like Skyrim does. If you ress an NPC in Skyrim, it is still considered as a dead or walking dead and will sooner or later return to its coffin in the city crypts. All related to that walking dead, will not see it as for them it is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGLNM02 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Sorry, OblivionAddicted, I don't I'm afraid and it seems to be a quirk of the game, because it doesn't always happen. It only seems to happen occasionally. It's just annoying when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGLNM02 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks for the advice, Striker879 ,but I don't have the Ashes To Ashes mod installed and my problem seems to be a quirk of the game, as it only seems to happen occasionally..

Save before entering a house, disable a bunch of mods and check if the problem remains, you'll end up finding the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 OA is getting at the method I used to nail down the culprit in my case. First you need a save (hopefully very close to immediately before an incident ... in my case a save from inside or outside a city gate just before I exited/entered). Then you need to prove that it is in fact a repeatable incident when loading that save (so in my case like yours it didn't happen every time, so yes I had a lot of saves that were not suitable for testing). Once you have a few consistently repeatable saves to use for testing it's just a matter of disabling/uninstalling mods and checking if the problem remains or not. I was lucky that in my case I had only added one mod before this started (Ashes to Ashes) so the hardest part was getting my repeatable saves. Wrap up your test by re-enabling/re-installing the mod your findings show is the culprit and confirm that the problem returns. - Edit - I like the new avatar OA :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
