Purple textures are missing textures. Either you did not install the full mod (sometimes, mods come as a base install and an update – you need to install both to get them to work) or you have new textures that have not been registered correctly with the game. Which method of Archive Invalidation are you using ? If you don’t…

Load order update and conflicts to investigate
I did a thorough check with TES4View and made several discoveries which caused me to move some mods around. I had to remove Persuasion_Overhaul_MMM as it overrides several changes from Persuasion_Overhaul_OOO. There are several mesh conflicts between AlienSlof’s Dogs and MMM. We need a compatibility patch to add Slof meshes to MMM dogs. Same thing, we need a compatibility patch…
OOO, MMM, BCC, Streamline and other updates
The past few weeks have seen some exciting developments in the little world of Oblivion mods, and from the looks of things, the next few weeks will be just as exciting. Under the tireless lead of corepc, Martigen’s Oblivion Mod reached the milestone of a new release – version 3.5.3 – with an open beta testing already available for 3.5.4.…
Annotated Load Order
(loosely copied from my post in the Bethseda forum). For a change, this is not a cry for help for a review of a load order but rather the opposite. After about two years of trial and errors, tests and troubleshooting, I have reached what looks like a stable version of my load order, so I spent some time making…
Customized mods
I will use this entry to keep track of mods I had to customize manually and why. Note that none of these customizations are available for download yet. If you are interested in any of these, let me know and I will get in touch with the original owner of the mod to get the permission to do so. The…
I am having troubles installing mods
You will experience less issues with mods if you install them in an organized way : – create an ‘oblivion-download’ folder on your desktop. Download the archives files in that folder (rar, zip, 7z files etc). It is always useful to have a copy of the original file you downloaded in case you need to reinstall a mod later. –…
Discovery about load order and crash on exit, the plot thickens..
(Summary from a post in the Bethesda forum). I got tired of getting a systematic crash on exit with my game, so I started playing with the load order. After a lot of trials and errors, here is what I found. My load order ends something like this : [Group 1 – Knights.esp + patches] [Group 2 – ShiveringIsles.esp +…
Imperial Forts – Fort Nikel
Where do the Imperial Patrols go at the end of the day ? Do they march until they drop ? do they stop at Inns for the night (I know some do… but that is not very martial of them). I found one missing detail in Cyrodiil was the lack of military camp sites. Places where Imperial Patrols, Watchmen and…
