I must have done the dumbest thing earlier tonight, and may have ruined my game to the point that I have a Crash to Desktop everytime I go to load up any save game file no matter what! I made an OMOD file from the Sephs Hand to Hand Replacer mod and now, no matter if I have the newly made OMOD activated or deactivated, my game will Crash to Desktop everytime I go to load up any save file, no matter what! Now I'm figuring out that I don't even need this mod at all (the mod wasn't even working in the first place, which made me decide to make it into an OMOd in the first place, hoping the mod would work that way!) Now I want to erase every trace of this mod, and delete the OMOD from my Oblivion Mod Manager and my Oblivion data folders! But how do I delete it from my Oblivion Mod Manager the safe way?

Help, please!

To delete an OMOD you simply right click on it and choose 'delete'. You'll probably need to remove the actual files from you data folder. Did you do this before making the mod into an OMOD? Either way you'll need to find the assosiated files and delete them, but you'll probably want to back them up in case they're the wrong ones.

I went thru and deleted all the ones associated with the file, and then went into my OMOD folder and found the problem OMOD and deleted it from the OMOD folder! I don't know if that's the right way to delete the OMOD, though!

Well there isn't any other way to delete an OMOD! It should be safe as long as you disabled it first. Does it work now?

Obvoiusly it did not work, so I say I failed badly! I keep getting crashes to desktop still ever since I went to test out the newly created OMOD of the Seph's Hand to Hand replacer mod! I don't know what to do now except the most extreme of situations, and that is to actually uninstall my game from my computer and reinstall it all over again, just because one single mod corrupted my game! Is there any other way besides uninstalling my game and reinstalling the game all over again?

Did you make the OMOD yourself? I'm not using it but it seems like a good idea to install it manually or make an OMOD script for it, as it comes with several options. Anyway, if you just installed the default meshes, manually removing them should fix any issue connected to it, as nothing else should remain:

Meshes\characters\_1stperson\
handtohandidle.kf

Meshes\characters\_male\
handtohandidle.kf
handtohandskill1attackpower.kf
handtohandskill2attackleftpower.kf
handtohandskill2attackrightpower.kf
handtohandskill3attackbackpower.kf
handtohandskill4attackforwardpower.kf

Seems odd that a bad install/uninstall would cause CTD when loading a save - but if you remove those files you won't have anything left from the mod.

When you installed the OMOD did it overwrite any files from other mods? When you deactivate an OMOD it removes all the files it installed, however it does not replace any that were overwritten. This means you have to deactivate/activate any affected OMODS to get back the missing files. Hope this makes sense... :unsure:

It did actually affect quite a bit of the mods I use! But I don't want to have to deactivate all my mods! So what am I left with?

I just went to deactivate every mod I have installed (except for the main Oblivion .esm file), and guess what? Still getting CTD whenever I go to load any save file! Now I'm left with having to completely uninstall my game and doing a clean reinstall of the game and reinstall every mod I was using! That's the only way I'm gonna have to do it now! And, btw, if anyone knows of any other kung fu animation mod (besides Seph's hand to hand replacer) let me know thru PM'ing me!

I doubt you need to re-install yet. With all mods disabled look at the folder which had the hand to hand animations and delete everything which could possibly be related.

Another explanation could be that you have corrupted your save file. Try loading a different save.

Did you untick the mods in the left hand pane of OBMM? If so this simple deactivates the ESPs and ESMs, not any resources (meshes,etc). Try ticking all ESPs in the left pane, and then in the right pane, deactivate (double-click, enter) any OMODS that affect animations( .kf files). Repeat this process to activate them again. Good Luck

I did what you 2 above me recommended already, and still I was having CTD everytime I loaded up a save file! So the only thing I did was delete every single file in my Oblivion game folder and uninstalled the entire game, rebooted, and reinstalled (hopefully into a right folder since I am on a Visat PC) the game all over again! I'll see if that solves my Seph Hand2Hand replacer related CTDs! But it's the ultimate last solution way to do it! Plus, like M'Aiq would say, why use your feet to fight when they are for walking or running?!

If your starting from scratch you should consider using Bain. It's really not difficult if you invest a bit of time to understand it, and it makes troubleshooting these issues so much easier. You're existing OMODs can be converted to Bain using OBMM's export function. http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=bain_installation for this and more. There are many advocates and experts on Bain on this forum if you have questions.

This could be your last never reinstall. :celebration:
