I think it's not necessary to do that (maybe not advised)
I played two days before FearsomeMagicka/screeneffects with OBGEv2 without renaming DLL (but I deleted the old obge.dll) and it worked.
But I kept getting CDT on Exit.

To the subject.
I have my own top mods but they are not:
Better Cittie
Unique Landscape
Qarl's TP3

To say I never install those.

OOO, MMM, Armamentarium & Artifacts
(usually I install FCOM without Francesco and WarCry)

BTmod & Immersive Inteface (my own omod custom version http://www.zshare.net/download/778685865712fb5b/)

You need to set about deactivating a bunch of mods there.

Read the bosslog.txt file that should be in Oblivion\Data - otherwise, run BOSS (preferably from within Wrye Bash) and read the text file that pops up on the screen (same file). Follow its advice. Also, click on Mod Checker (an icon along the bottom part of the Wrye Bash screen (the status bar, basically). This will further inform you of things that should be deactivated, or whatever else.

Oh, and before running Mod Checker, but after running BOSS and reading - and following - its advice, rebuild your Bashed Patch, merging and importing as needed, and selecting any other options you might want. Have a look at Tomlong's site for further tips for this stage of the process. Then, Mod Checker, and follows *its* advice. If necessary...

Mostly, you'll do fine if you do these things. There are few exceptions.

Did you rebuild the Bashed Patch? There must be a conflict in your LO then.


The OP tried without renaming, but trying without renaming is fine too, as long as it works. It is not "not advised." I do not use OBGE. I heard about doing that somewhere on this forum. If it works without renaming the v2 DLL, I will stop mentioning that step.

Install Fast Exit 2 to take care of the CTD on exit.

Looking over the latest posted load order, it's clear that the OP is not using enough of the bashed patch options. Many mods that should be completely mergeable are not marked merged in the load order. This probably also means many other options, such as import graphics, are not being used.

There's also a section on "googly eyes" in the Wrye Bash help html file, if I remember correctly.

• Read the bosslog and do what it says.
  
• Read the Wrye Bash help file on googly eyes.
  
• Read and follow Tomlong's site's advice on building a bashed patch.

If you do all those things thoroughly, you should have far less problems left to sort out, and the ones you may still have at that point will be so much easier for everybody to help you troubleshoot.

I did rebuild the bashed patch. Twice, actually. I'm hoping that the problem was caused by the resources being removed by OBMM. If so, reinstalling RBP should fix it.

Edit: The following mods are affecting Race Records in my bashed patch: Robert's, Heart of the Dead, Blood&Mud, bgBalancingEVCore

Eyes are only worth so much to me. Crazy missing wall segments in the IC should definitely take priority.

Edit 2: Reinstalling RBP did not add eyes back in... Because I never had its eye package installed in the first place. Since EE has more issues, I'll install RBP's eye package instead.

Edit 3: Signing out for the weekend. I should be back troubleshooting again next week. Thanks for all the help, folks!

RBP comes with a number of custom eyes. You do not need to install any special add-on. It does sound like you need to reinstall some mods with OBMM. The missing walls have nothing to do with your cosmetic mods though.

So, I worked on Oblivion again today... You were right about not needing the optional RBP module. As it turns out, the eye and hair options for Nords were reverted to their vanilla defaults by my race-birthsign reversion esp, which BOSS placed after the bashed patch. I've added it to the patch, and moved the patch to the bottom of my load order. Hairs and eyes are now as they should be, plus the new ones from the RBP module.

I'm pretty concerned about that chunk of wall being missing; is there anything that stands out as a possible culprit?

Edit: As it turns out, ALL of the exterior walls of the IC are missing, whether viewed from inside the city or out. The torches in the IC also have missing mesh indicators instead of flames.

Natural_Weather_HDR_with_darker_Nights_by_Max_Tael.esp <-- fixed version?

62 Better Cities - VWD of the IC.esp <-- Try removing this

Use FormID Finder on the torches. Are you sure all of the BC BSAs are present, all six of them?

15 IWR-Lights.esp <-- Replace with AWLS
16 IWR-Windows.esp
17 IWR-Shutters.esp


If the deactivating the IC add-on plugin does not work, try deactivating the BC IC plugin.

As it turns out, I hadn't activated my BC Resources OMOD. Thanks! I'll look at switching the window lighting anyway, as this one isn't awesome enough yet.

Well, that would make a difference, haha.

It gets better. I hadn't checked any mods in my bashed patch's "import cells" tab. Dunno how much difference that made.

That too...

In case anyone's willing to offer any follow-up advice:

I'm seeing some pretty dismal framerates, with only minor tweaks enabled in obge. 10-15 fps average, with 10-15% cpu usage and 95-100% gpu usage. Any suggestions?

Edit: I see the same clunky framerates indoors and out, which is why is seems so weird.
