I was doing archive invalidation on the OBMM after installing shezrie's towns. It said Hash Collision: 1

what is a hash collision?

Ok, so thinking it is a conflict, I uninstalled then reinstalled oblivion with all my mods, excluding shezrie's towns, now I have 9 hash collisions, what the hell...

i don't know the exact meaning of the term, but it's not a big deal, thats mostly the reason you do archiveinvaliation to begin with. OBMM will generate a text file listing the hash collision entries and the text file itself will tell the game how to handle them. it's ok to just ignore them

i have 39 hash collisions myself lol

as long as you run archiveinvalitation and generate the text file it won't. it's not a big deal at all
