When you've installed a mod, test if your game runs. That way you won't have to un-install your game if something goes wrong. Then install a mod manager and use it to install one mod at a time! Here's how you should do it:įirst install OBSE because a mod manager can only install files to your data folder "Oblivion\Data" and not to your game folder "Oblivion". here's hoping it works better than last time. Wrye Bash can help edit this file too but be careful with editing it. Set Texture Size to 'Large' too - there are additional options but you need to go into the config file (oblivion.ini - there's one in the main oblivion folder and one in 'My Games\Oblivion' (main one is the default, MyGames is the one for the current user. (Not sure if OBSE is enabling that or whether it's native). widescreen - what options do you see under 'video' in the options menu? I've got 1680x1050 (my native res) and up to 1440x900. ^This might help with install order issuesĪs for square screen v. (Note that for texture replacement mods, I had an issue even with WryeBash that uninstalling one left me with purple-billboard grass). Once you've got Oblivion vanilla loading up without crashing, start again adding one mod at a time (using WryeBash so you can uninstall / deactivate the offending mod more easily). Using WryeBash helps but if you get the install order wrong, it can still cause crashes.īear in mind that some mod-folders don't use the standard structure, and some mods conflict with each other.

I also had trouble with certain mods (or at least the install order). I'd also delete the WryeBash / OBMM folders along with everything else. You'll probably need to delete the folder from My Docs as well (.\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion - on Windows anyway) When you uninstalled, did you keep save-files? Yes, I've followed half a dozen step-by-step tutorials for total idiots like myself. And for heaven's sake, HOW do I get these mods to work? I tried NMM, OBMM, Wrye Bash, everything, and the game still loads in all its 15-year-old square screen low-res glory. What to do about this? I'm running Windows 10, btw. This time I delete the entire Oblivion directory after uninstalling it, thus getting rid of all the mods. Okay, fresh install.Įven after deleting and installing again, the game still crashes on startup. I never got a single mod working (unless I couldn't tell the difference between Oblivion Reloaded and Vanilla?) and eventually broke the game and had it start crashing on startup.

I'm a total newbie to mods, have never run a mod that didn't have some sort of automated installer. I never liked it much when it came out, but thought I'd play through it again modded. I recently bought Oblivion when it was on sale, as it was the only Elder Scrolls game I didn't have.
