Im working on a mod, and in order to test it properly, I need to remove OA from my game to purge my save of all OA related data, however, disabeling it via FOMM has no effect, OA is still alive and well in game. So I tried manually removing it by moving the esm to another folder, and that caused my game to crash on startup.

Does anyone know how I can successfully disable OA so I can purge my save and start fresh?

Disabling the mod should work. See if there are any plugins for O:A or merges that include O:A.

Ah crap, forgot about that. I do have one or two.

Edit: Yup, that was the ticket. Thanks a lot!
