Blockhead Face

[Wild Child]

Okay, I calling for some backup here. I am revisiting Oblivion, this time with mods. I'm running 26 of them. Far lower than the 500 I was running with Skyrim. I'm using Vortex, OBMM and Steam. The mod in question is the Oblivion Character Overhaul v2 and it's dependence on Blockhead.

This game was running just fine up until a couple days ago, when I reinstalled my game. Now, no matter what I do, I have the Install Blockhead promp written on the faces of the involved races, including NPCs.

I have installed these mods with Vortex, and I've followed the instructions for the proper placement of the Blockhead.dll file as well as the the OBSE paths. Vortex shows no conflicts, even though I'm getting the masterlist warning. I have tried deleting the masterlist folder in order to force Vortex to download a new one, per Vortex's prompt. Still, no joy with that.

Mods have been deployed, sorted, all that and Vortex sees no conflicts. I have used Wrye Bash, and have zero red on there as well. Created my Bash Patch as well. Before all this started happening, I was using OBMM to run the game since it was the only thing that seemed to recognize Blockhead. However, the Mod Manager no longer works and crashes when I try to load Oblivion with it.

As I stated before, I had no issues at all, then this all started after I reinstalled this game. I have reviewed forums and questions and everything else regarding these issues, and as far as I can tell, I have complied with every bit of guidance offered on this. I'm certain I have missed something, but I can't seem to figure out what. Any help would be appreciated. I'm going to try to post my load order here as soon as I figure out how.

Edit: I do have a blue plugin recommendation to use OCOv2 - Filter Patch For Mods, but when I enable it, I get a warning about missing masters. The list that's provided are all mods I do not use, except OCO, but that does seem to satisfy the requirements and I do not want to install 40 mods I don't want. Could this be the issue?
