How stable is your modded game? : IV - Oblivion

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:01 pm

I don't buy this one at all. Blade of Mercy insists on this advice in his 50 steps guide, but his only justification is anecdotal. And I personally have activated and deactivated as many as 50 mods at a time without crashing as a result. There just doesn't seem to be any rationality for the process. It sounds like superstition.

Cleaning dirty mods and quitting the game entirely between reloads are the two steps I have taken that have directly affected the stability of the game. I rarely crash at all.

I never stagger my installs either, I just install everything I know works (FCOM and about 100 misc. mods), then go from there with mods I'm unsure of.

Installing a boatload of unknowns at one time would be a bit iffy I suppose, but otherwise I tend to agree with the superstition bit on that.

For reference, heres what I'm currently running, almost all of these installed at the same time.

I run a moderately modded game. A few large esps and esms, maybe 40 small esps and esms, and 6 to 10 dlls.
Most of the time I get a crash every 1.5 hours or so of gameplay. I believe that about a third of my crashes are due to OSR heap replacement, but I leave that on anyway as I consider the performance boost worth it. Every once in a while, maybe every 15 hours of gameplay on average, I run in to a repeating crash. When this happens I typically crash every minute for 10 minutes or so until the problem goes away. The causes (or at least the fixes) seem to vary widely - in some cases I can fix it by enabling weOCPS, in other cases I can fix it by tweaking my in-game behavior slightly in the area where the crashes happen, in other cases it just seems to go away on its own after a little while. In pretty much all cases once the issue goes away I cannot later reproduce the issue except by loading a saved game from right before the issue occurred, and sometimes not even then. The only consistent pattern I have observed with these is that with some of them carrying a ton of ingredients or being in the vicinity of containers that hold a ton of ingredients can make them worse.

As long as I remember to Streamsave before moving between interior / exterior, I don't crash at all (well, rarely - once in a great while). I've played for as much as 15 hours straight.

I clean every mod with Tes4Edit and Pyffi the meshes before I use it.
I run Oblivion Stutter remover and Streamline. (enabled purge on Streamsave and I have 35 save slots configures).
I have a few texture replacers, but nothing on the order of Qarl's.

My system isn't that great but it is better than average:
Intel Q6600 oc to 3.1gHtz, 4Gb Viper X3 ram (even though XP doesn't use it all), multiple bsa's installed on separate drives and a 1Gb GT240.

Yes, Virginia, you can have a crash free (well, 99% crash free) modded Oblivion.
You just have to put some work into it and know what your system is capable of so you don't over extend it.
