10/7/2019 Mod Organizer Oblivion Crash
About Mod Organizer. Mod Organizer by Tannin (Tannin42 on the Nexus) is an advanced mod manager for Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion, and Skyrim. It is localized in English (American), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Its primary purpose is to provide a way to install mods in a manner that leaves the. I played Oblivion for several months without anything more than a crash every few days or so. Of course, this did not bother me much since it was so rare. Well lately I discovered how wonderful mods can be. Of course I used a few of them before such as Modular Oblivion Enhanced, AF Leveling Mod, and the occasional armor or weapons mod but.

Hi all,I recently bought Oblivion when it was on sale, as it was the only Elder Scrolls game I didn't have. I never liked it much when it came out, but thought I'd play through it again modded. Anyway, I immediately ran into problems.
I'm a total newbie to mods, have never run a mod that didn't have some sort of automated installer. 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. Okay, fresh install.Even after deleting and installing again, the game still crashes on startup. This time I delete the entire Oblivion directory after uninstalling it, thus getting rid of all the mods.
It still crashes on startup.What to do about this? I'm running Windows 10, btw.
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. Yes, I have OBSE installed. Yes, I've followed half a dozen step-by-step tutorials for total idiots like myself. LobsterMage: Now for the mods. Here's hoping it works better than last time.
Here's how you should do it:First install OBSE because a mod manager can only install files to your data folder 'OblivionData' and not to your game folder 'Oblivion'.Then install a mod manager and use it to install one mod at a time!That way you won't have to un-install your game if something goes wrong.When you've installed a mod, test if your game runs. Say, it simply crashes like before There's usually a simple explanation for that: You put a mod that requires another mod before the mod it requires. (Or, of course, you don't have the required mod to begin with.) You can check that by selecting the mod files in your mod manager with your mouse. The mod manager tells you what any mod requires.Lastly, you should know what belongs into the data folder: mod files like '.esp', '.esm' and mod folders like 'Meshes', 'Textures'.
Your mods normally come in archives that you need to extract (using 7zip for example). A mod manager handles archives for you, but you usually have to extract the mod archives anyway and make new ones. That's because the files like '.esp' and 'Textures' have to be at the very top level in your archive.It's very simple: The mod manager installs the contents of your mod archive ('Mod.zip') to your Data folder, but that can be an issue as I'm going to show now. The contents of the archive might for example be: (Mod.zip)ModData FilesMod.espIn this case your Oblivion directory would look like this: OblivionDataModDataMod.esp. Your game won't realize that there even is an.esp. That's why you make a new archive that contains Mod.esp on its top level and feed the new archive to your mod manager.
(Mod.zip)Mod.esp would lead to a correctly installed mod OblivionDataMod.espHope this helps.Edit: oops, the name of the folder is 'data', 'data files' is a Morrowind folder. The latest version of Oblivion Reloaded crashes on 'New game' (even if you just install that and don't install anything else).
Download the last 6.1.x version (I use 6.1.2) which works perfectly so far. However, in general if you are new to Oblivion modding you need to start with something much lighter. Oblivion Reloaded does a lot of changes.Shameless plug: I recommend you use my on this matter, it is written from the perspective of someone that hasn't modded Oblivion before. It will walk you through various mods from non-risky texture/sound updates to heavily scripted/gameplay changing mods. At various stages in the guide there are test breaks where you need to check that things still seem to be working well. All mods have been and are being tested by me playing many hours with them installed. If you run into issues or have questions please let me know (add Galaxy chat, comments on the medium page or forum private messages).

Mod Organizer is the best utility to happen to game modding since the pencil and paper was invented!No more will you have to struggle with overwriting files as you incorrectly install mods.MO uses a 'virtual file system' that generates your modded game each time you load it.Simply download and install a mod, itself a painless operation with Nexus integration, then rearrange the order of each mod in the left hand pane until any potential conflicts are removed. MO then uses that list to generate a specific modded 'DATA' folder in the game you are running. (Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 3)Add to that the ability to have 'Profiles' and your gaming just became a whole lot easier, and better.Simply brilliant.
