Seems like it's just a problem with Midas Magic mod. Are you sure you installed it correctly?

I added the BSA and ESP files to the data folder and then activated them in my plugins list...

Bump

Bump

I just figured out that trying to use anything at all crashes my game...help!

Did you use Boss to check your load order? I have used Midas Spells for a long time with out any problem Try Boss it might help with crashes

Yes I've tried...and I've tried redownloading and installing, deleting every single mod besides the oblivion.esm and midas magic but nothing works

Tha tis strange I have updated to the newer one and have not had any problems

I installed mine in obmm try that it has never fail instead of just putting it into the data file maybe that will help

That's very weird though...Midas spells only has an .esm and .bsa files...idk how they cause that much trouble...I just tried with OBMM...no response..

That's wierded I have always only installed it with obmm and never have had a problem

Ugh How frustrating...I wonder if anyone else has got any suggestions

Other then wait a day at the least before bumping, my only advice is to make sure you're running the latest(last) update for Oblivion, which is required for Midas Magic.

Sorry about the multiple bumps...im impatient :/...and Ive got the 1.2.416 patch running...so there shouldnt be any problems...

K, try deleting Midas stuff and see if it runs (but get out of Midas' shop before you do, and save a game outside there). You said you couldn't do "anything" w/out it crashing, so I'm not quite certain what all you mean there.

If it does, try redownloading/reinstalling Midas. You may just have gotten a corrupted download or what have you. And you ARE using this version, yeah? http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9562

The most common problem is the 1.2 Patch. You've said you have that so here are some things to try...

1) Start a fresh game. Go to Midas' shop right from there. Save before entering.
2) Ring the Doorbell. Does it crash?
3) Enter. Does it crash?

If not on either, in your original game. Save before entering Midas' shop and wait 3 game days. Hit the doorbell and then try to enter.

Sorry for not being clear enough, by "anything" I meant the doorbell, the aurum reactor, the door to the laboratory, the aurum converter thingy...the only thing I can do is talk to the people which works fine...

EDIT: and yes, I've tried redownloading and reinstalling 2x now

If I ring the doorbell, it crashes, but I can enter and talk/interact with everyone normally, I mean Midas is willing to sell me 1 spell, that one monk gives me a quest to kill the snipe, I can read the books, its just the actual spellmaking devices, laboratory and doorbell which crashes it...Im about to try the waiting 3 days ingame one...

EDIT: Yep, It still crashes after waiting 3 days in front of the shop and pressing the doorbell. Darnit...btw, I've got a question which may sound pretty stupid but I want to make sure, on the Main Menu of the game, with the options:Continue, Load, New Game, Options, Credits and where the title music plays, at the bottom left corner of the screen it says 1.2.416. That does mean it is patch 1.2.416 right?

I just tried Patching the new .esm file which was uploaded today instead of the original .esm file but it still crashes :banghead:

EDIT: I just discovered something else - if I try to use the aurum reactor without putting anything inside it (casting a spell without necessary ingredients inside) the game continues normally. However, as soon as I put the necessary items inside, the game crashes. I've drawn the conclusion that it must be the newly scripted material which is activated/created when I open the door to the lab, ring the doorbell or use the reactor which is crashing my game. I've even raided Midas' bedroom and tried on is various costumes (...love the driad one...) and they all work except for one of them in which I run around as a giant yellow exclamation mark. The quests are also fine, just did the snipe quest and accidentally initiated the quest about the warlock's luck. Everything else crashes the game...

Backrev to 0.992 let me know if that fixes the problem. If not, go back to 0.990. Another Option is to try this mod http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22282 Sorry I cant be of more help yet. Let me know how these steps turn out.

Edit: And yes, it does look like you are running the correct version of the Oblivion patch.

Alright I'll try out the older versions - brb
