Mod help: Game crashes on first combat

[Edi]

Welp, NexusMods forums were extremely unhelpful. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

In a nutshell, the game loads fine with these mods. I make the character, I meet Uriel, and I start the escape. But then the Mythic Dawn shows up, I get ready for combat, and boom, game crash.

Here's my load order as sorted by LOOT. Also have the Minimap mod, OBSE, Menuque (afaik I installed it correctly) and Darnified. If I can't solve this issue I will sadly have to remove all traces of mods from Oblivion and simply play without them.

I find it extremely ironic that it's a lot harder to install mods in Oblivion than in Skyrim.

The only thing I wonder about is what version of Oblivion Character Overhaul do you have? Which mod # is it 43612 or 44676.

While LOOT is OK, try BOSS as it is better.

Where did you get Menuque?

Also, try the Unofficial Mods Patch http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/9969/

[Edi]

I have both. I ran them and neither reported mod conflicts and so far everything is sorted correctly. As for Overhaul, I always make sure to have the latest versions. I have 44676.

I'm gonna try to run the game again, but I may have the same issue. :C

I suspect MenuQue (not sure if it installed correctly, but I followed the steps to the letter) so I may delete it to try booting the game again until the fight. If by tomorrow the problem is not solved, I will unfortunately have to play vanilla Oblivion and just the unofficial patches. Oh, I got MenuQue in NexusMods.

[Dadelus]

If you have version 44676 for OCO you need to install Blockhead http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/43752

[Edi]

Oh, I forgot about Blockhead! I have it too! X3

[Dadelus]

I do not see any reason for the game to crash, especially as described and the load order posted. Generally speaking, CTDs at a specific point typically point to a mod. The other reason is a corrupt Oblivion.ESM file. Do a backup of the Oblivion.in file in a safe location (the one in your "users\<username>\mydocuments\mygames"), then delete it and start the game with the Launcher to create a new .ini and see if that helps.

If you have DarnifiedUI installed, where is the .esp? as it seems to be missing from the load order posted.

[Edi]

It won't show up for some reason :( and I didn't see an ESP iirc, but it's installed correctly as far as I can remember, as I can access it ingame, change fonts, and stuff. I ran it through Oblivion Mod Manager and it installed fine. The game just crashes as soon as the first fight starts. I don't know why. I'll keep trying and see what happens :(

[Edi]

Wait, hold on. I'm reading the readmes of every mod I have just to be sure. I'll try reinstalling with those and see what happens.

[Edi]

Nope, no change... I'll have to delete everything and only keep the unofficial patches, Overhaul and Darnified.

[Edi]

Okay, I ran BOSS again and fixed the load order a bit. I'll try one more time. I'm pasting everything here. If it doesn't work, I'm doing a fresh install and I will never again possibly install a mod.

...you know what, ♥♥♥♥ this.

Thanks for the help, but I give up. I'm doing one final fresh install and I will not use mods for the foreseeable future. Leave the modding to Skyrim.

[ManualMakron]

Remember to clean up your ini file.

[Edi]

I'm just gonna install the unofficial patches. And yes, I deleted the ini.

Thanks, but I'm done modding Oblivion.
