As the title says, I'm pretty exasperated at the moment. After finally unearthing my copy of Oblivion from years back, I reinstalled it and promptly decided to try out FCOM, something I've been wanting to do for a little while.

Now, I had always used Francesco's Overhaul before. And MMM. And a whole host of other mods. But this time, I decided to do something new with FCOM, and as such, I only installed the bare minimum requirements. I know how fickle Oblivion is, I didn't want to, you know, actually ask it to do its job and run. That would be too much.

I also installed Better Cities, Immersive Interiors, Unique Landscapes (I remember when the first one of those came out...man, it's been a while!), and the Oblivion XP mod. But of course, Oblivion crashed. So I disabled everything but the DLC, Unique Landscapes, and the FCOM plugins. But, surprise surprise, Oblivion crashed again. I had manually adjusted the load order to the basic list from the FCOM site, but after it crashed again, I just ran BOSS. No change. So, long story short, here is my load order. If you see anything, I will be so grateful for any of your help.

To claridy, it crashes upon loading a save (vanilla saves in the dungeon) or starting a new game (the intro will play, but the game crashes when loading the actual game).

Please paste your load order from Wrye Bash (it shows version numbers), as well as your BOSS log.

Did you rebuild the bashed patch after adjusting your mods? Try that first see if it helps. Did BOSS log complain about anything that you have installed? If all else fails, try deleting the ini and then re-initializing by launching the game launcher.

Another thing you can try is deleting your Oblivion ini file to force it to regenerate it. If you've customized some settings, then you should back up the old one first so you can transfer the settings.

Add a handful of mods at a time to see which mods might be conflicting. Use wrye bash to save a stable load order, and go from there.
