New clean intstall

[Messento]

Hi all,

I have install and uninstall oblivion and mods many times, and had always different kind of bug.

Now, I want to make a clean new installation and I need some advice to make it in the right order.

Is this the right order of installation ? :

-Oblivion (well, i think i don't make a mistake with this one ^^)

-DLC

-shivering isles

-Patch and unofficial patch

-Construction set

-obmm

-Wyrbach

-obse

may be an other ?)

-Elys-_Universal_Silent_Voice

texture/races (like hgec bodies, mbp etc) :

-Better body compilation omod

-hi-rez skin

-EyelashesForVanillaRaces

-MBP

-MBP++

-MBP chocolat elf

-x117

-XeoRC4

-Xeorace x117

-XeoSP

-XeoSP++

(in red, the most important I think)

Building :

-Better cities

-Samurai shop

-Tona mod store

-gabriela sexy boutique

and mod like that

gameplay and replacement like :

-colourwheels sexy imperial legion

-shield on back

-UI DarNifi

-Vipcxj real high heels

-Brake Undies

-CM partners (and some partners)

Armor and weapon

-many things

Complet mod :

-Claudia little secret

-Hentai Mania 1 & 2

Xlovers mods

-lovers with pk

etc

animation :

-sensual walk

-sensual walk for femal npc

-pose mod

Is that order correct ?

Maybe I must use wyrbash to make a bashed patch but I don't know how to use it, beacause my english and computer skill are not very good.

I had try one or more times but, it was making my game crash.

Thank you for reply !

(may be I will ask you for a good load order, but not yet )

I suggest installing Vipcxj real high heels last because it has its own skeleton than needs to overwrite others. Also grab the FPS patch for it. It can be found on this site.

You can use a program like Multiple Oblivion Manager (MOM) or MTES4 to create multiple installs of Oblivion on your computer. You can use either of these two programs to keep different Oblivion Installs on your PC.

I currently keep one stable game with a very large Load Order for playing, a second copy of my stable game to see if adding mods will cause problems with it, I have a third install that is just the GOTY and DLC, a fourth install for Beta Testing, and a fifth for NEHRIM.

Do not use CM Partners and Claudias Little Secret at the same time because they CM Partners causes problems with parts of CLS.

Wrye Bash and BAIN are difficult to use at first, but everyone who has made the switch from OBMM to Wrye Bash will never use anything else.

I only use OBMM for installing Sensual Walks, and to install mods like MBP++ into my game (I cheat and use the OMOD script to install the options I want into an Oblivion Data folder, then I clean out the Bethesda content to make a folder I can turn into a BAIN archive).

Tank you for reply lilDevil and bradleyh !!

I will try to use more Wrye bash and Bain.

From my experience, converting all mods into OMODs was the best way to go. It made installation and uninstallation of mods that much easier. Of course, not all mods should be converted so it definitely helps to consult the author's README first.

Merging esp also saves a lOOoooOOottt of troubles. (assuming they are next to kin with each other).

[Messento]

tanks for your answers !

I'm actually trying to use wrye bash and bain, and I have a problem with bain.

I want install sensual walk for femal NPC (link)

I have downloded the 2 Optional files, Sensual Walks Animations Installer and Sensual Walks BAIN.

I have install the first one with obmm, but with the second I don't know what to do with. In the installation guide, it is said to copy the archive in bash installers but next, in wyre bash, nothing appear.

Must I configure something ?

When I click in installers tab, a box appear, I don't know if it is importent.

I don't use an english version of oblivion.

To have less errors, I want to make an english install, but what are the official and unofficial englich patch to use ? For Oblivion, DLC and SI.

[sora3]

Official patch for Oblivion is the 1.2.0416 for both Oblivion and SI. Oddly enough, the SI patch seems to patch both Oblivion and SI so grab that. Unofficial patches should be on Nexus and grab the supplementals too.
