I renamed them... everything seems to be OK, but only time will tell. Finally finished the guide, thanks a lot to Lexy, this is really an insane piece of work. I had a similarly modded game with Oblivion, but unlike the people here I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and it was a hot mess. I can't imagine the time and effort gone into creating something like this. I have a question tho: if I want to add a few extra mods to this which parts of the finishing line need to be done again? If they do not overwrite anything from the guide, can they simply be added right at the end of the load order without touching any finishing line steps? Thanks

So, during the merges I got some of the filenames wrong (Weapons & Armours.esp instead of the suggested "Weapons Armours.esp") Can I simply rename the .esp that I created during the merge, or is that going to break something?

I assumed it would, but I checked the installed mod folder afterwards and the file was not there (I chose not to install the Bruma patch) Thanks for the help

LOTD Patches should be placed directly after LOTD SE and not directly after LOTD SE HI Res? So, following the current instructions my order is LOTD SE LOTD SE Patches LOTD SE Hi Res Thanks

[QUASIPC - Qwinn's Unified Automated Self Installing Patch Compendium] Special After Installation Instructions: Delete the following file(s) and/or folder(s): Qw_BeyondSkyrimBruma_USSEP Hotfix Patch.modgroups I guess this part should be removed from the guide, as Bruma has been removed entirely?

For the fossil mining scripts, should we copy *ALL* files from the ZIP linked below, the mod itself only includes one script but the ZIP has several? Thanks [Faster Mining Plus SE] (Use THIS Fixed Script Instead)

What an idiot. OK, I've fixed it - will I now need to re-save all of the plugins I've converted so far?

1) I'm using V1.5.73 of the CK, but I keep getting the following error upon starting it through MO2, is this safe to ignore? https://imgur.com/a/geLsxNv 2) I get ~80 warnings on loading/saving plugins in CK, I keep ignoring them - is this normal? 3) I forget to clear my overwrite folder in MO2 before resaving plugins in CK, is this a problem? Thanks

Falskaar Addons + Patches has been updated to 1.4 which now only uses ESLs and the FOMOD has changed from that in the guide. Can I continue with the guide using the 1.4 ESLs in place of the 1.3 ESPs or are further changes required? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19454?tab=files Ignore me, just seen the previous post with the answer: Download 1.4 and you don't need to remove esl flags zMerge will handle them OK. Thanks

Sounds like it would be Deadly Reflex that is causing that - I would check the mod options and readme / instructions for anything about camera and see if you can disable the option. Can't check the mod right now as I'm at work.

Check the Better Cities installation to make sure you have all the required and that they all downloaded correctly. I had some issues getting this to install properly and it ended up being my download was corrupt. I had to get it from the Better Cities website. Also check that you have all .ESPs and that they are loaded correctly. Are you getting any message about Better Cities.esp when you load up into a game? It might also be crashing due to it loading so much when you get there, try setting all graphics options to lowest and see if you still crash with/without better cities loaded. I also have 980TI and yes I get low FPS in some areas. Just how the game is, old game on an old engine. Can't really take advantage of latest hardware, especially with so many mods clogging up the engine. In cities the FPS is still bad, but in outdoor areas you should be able to reach 60fps a lot of the time. Just depends where you are what is happening around you

Hi Synth/shutup, I finally got around to going through the guide again and installing almost everything (including FCOM). It took me longer than expected since I upgraded some components in the meantime (980ti and a 40" 4K monitor). I've got everything installed on an SSD and so far it is working well on Windows 10. I haven't seen any major issues. Surprisingly, Oblivion runs at the same frate at 1920x1080 as it does at 3840x2160, which is interesting... Anyway, even on a 980ti Superclocked Edition I get anywhere from a solid 60 out in the open to a miserable 14 around the IC Waterfront area :D The only minor issues I've noticed so far is a lack of response from the AI. However, I remember this from having a modded Oblivion years ago. What I mean is that you approach a bunch of enemies and they just stand there, until you talk to them, then they spring into action and actually combat you. I always thought this either a glitchy script or perhaps the game's engine just being too busy at that time... It doesn't happen everytime, but once or twice. Anyway, I'll post again once I've had some time to actually play in more depth Re: the framerate, just for reference I have an i7 that runs around 4.5ghz

If you're crashing immediately after launching the game, or extremely early in the main menu loading bar but the game was loading up fine earlier, then you may be able to fix this by a couple of restarts of your PC. If that doesn't work, then try reinstalling the DirectX that came on the Disc or in the Steam Folder depending on your version. I've noticed that, especially on Win10, changing other programs or games on your PC can interfere with Oblivion - one day it's working and the next it's not with no explanation. However, after a restart and reinstall and Oblivion's version of DirectX it should load up again for you. If it still doesn't work, it's likely you've messed up the process somewhere along the line

OK, I've just finished installing everything and after a few hiccups, I can get in the game and all looks good. I'll do some more testing when I have time and let you know if I spot any issues. I have almost everything from the guide installed, except any RED mods and about 2-3 orange ones. Some weird issues during installation that I didn't get last time; 1) Wrye Bash wouldn't cooperate unless my INI was NOT set to read-only. It kept wanting access to it whenever I would load up Wrye Bash and would then force me to close it because access to INI was denied. I had to let it do it's thing and then copy my tweaked INI over once I'd finished everything in Bash. Weird... 2) Any mod package with a wizard would throw an error after installation, something about 'Get Parent' - I never had that before, but they seemed to install just fine anyway. 3) After completing installation, Oblivion kept crashing on first menu load bar, at about 2mm of loading. I had to restart and build the bashed patch again. Since this didn't happen last time, I would imagine it maybe related to Win10 since my last installtion was on Win7 (perhaps the above are also related Win10)

Thanks for your time and effort Synthetik (and Hishutup) I'm sure it's appreciated by the silent majority : ) Have you installed everything from the guide on your build? If not, it might be helpful to post which mods you chose to install so we know for sure what 'definitely works'. It would be also be great if you posted your current load order for comparison when people finished the guide, in case they have problems they can compare if they are missing anything etc. Just a couple of minor points; * The 'Contents' section seems to have some weird spacing from the 'Weapons & Armour' section onwards * I also found it strange that 'Book Jackets' retex was put under Weapons & Armour section, shouldn't it be 'Other Retexs' ? I will have a run through the guide again once I get some time and see how it actually changes things out in the game, I'll let you know if I find anything strange once done. Thanks again
