Good afternoon everyone,

I made a new character the other day, and when I walked to Bruma... the east gate is gone. I can just pass through the space and enter the low res version of the town that's meant to be seen from afar. I disabled all my mods, but the problem remained, so I used my Vanilla backup. It's still like that across all saves. I've done a fresh install and it's still like that.

What did I break?

That's weird. Did you ever notice this before? You sure you installed all the patches correctly, yes?

Does it happen on a new game?

Nope, was never like this before... I tried FCOM, it was installed correctly, but I didn't like it. So I reinstalled and was only running the following:

MMM - Multiple Plugins
Natural Weather - All Packages w/ HDR Weather
The Unofficial Patches + Supplemental
Symphony of Violence
More Immersive Sound
Oblivion Stereo Overhaul
Storms & Sounds
Loading Screens
Landmarks
Autumn Trees
Ambient Town Sounds
Alive Waters w/ Koi and Slaughterfish Plugins
Illumination Within Revived - Lights, Windows, and Shutters
Willful Resistance
All of the DLCs (I'm using the Steam GoTY Edition Deluxe)
Stealth Entrances - Base Package and Rope Ladders
Command Mount
Better Benrius Manner
Let The People Drink
Arena Alive 24 Hr
Unique Landscapes - All
Immersive Caves
Ren's Beauty Pack - Hair Only
Real Lava
Irresponsible Horse

And a few more, but none of them touched the graphics files.

What disturbs me the most is that it does this on a VANILLA install with NO mods even installed or active.



I didn't redo the entire tutorial, but I did load from my save that I made at the end of it and checked. Was still missing the gate, and the tutorial save was done with absolutely no mods.

What's actually gone? Can we have a screenshot?

Absolutely!

Do those go into enough detail for you? The East Gate is literally gone. I can walk straight through the space and nothing happens, and I can walk into the low res city.

EDIT: Sorry for the size. My WoW guild's forum resized it.

Try this for me:

Open the console, type:
"prid 00003614"
"enable"

If that doesn't work, type
"coc BrumaFightersGuild"
Walk out of the guild into the city. Check the gate is there. If it is, try using it.

That would place me inside the city, yes? I was able to fast travel into it just fine, and the gate is there on the inside. However, when I use it the gate is still missing on the outside.

I'll give that a go though.

Do you use wrye bash? I was getting all kinds of weird errors (textures, meshes, etc disappearing) until I started using wrye and made a bashed patch. I once had half of Chorrol go missing (the opposite of your problem though since the doors were there but the buildings were missing, and it was inside the city............. reloading fixed it though). These glitches were really odd because I don't run a lot of mods, and they don't really conflict with each other, but that bashed patch basically made everything perfect.

I'll also give the Bashed Patch a go. In fact, I'll do that first. I should have thought of that...

Sorry about all of the trouble. I just picked up Oblivion a couple of weeks ago and it's been a real blast so far.
