Cant get OBSE running (Steam version Oblivion)

[HarryS123]

I recently got back into oblivion and thought i would try modding out, I have done some modding before so I thought this would not be to difficult.

 

I have installed a few mods from this website and have managed to get them all working and ready (using OBMM), however I am unable to use them because my Oblivion is not detecting OBSE. I have looked at some troubleshooting such as installing DirectX 9 or using different mod managers but non seem to fix my problem.

 

If anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance! (sorry for the poor grammar, been at this for over 3 hours)

Are you sure you installed OBSE in the correct spots? When you start the game you start it through the oblivion.exe and not the OBSE.exe.

[gregathit]

Inside the obse.zip file you downloaded are instructions on how to enable OBSE with steam.  

Please read them and you should be rocking and rolling.  I'm point this out, because reading the readme.txt files is pretty much a must do thing if you don't want to pull your hair out as you get more and more mods.

After running the game again with it in this location. i get a message saying "lovers requires OBSE to run"

 

 

Just as an edit * https://gyazo.com/da0c8cabd22ad0eb285becbf74d3af21 I was following those instructions.

Get your game out of the program folder and move it to a folder like game folder. Some things will not run correctly when they are in that folder. Click fejeena's big ass yellow link above your post and follow their instructions on how to move your folder.

[HarryS123]

I have done it but, It says for lovers to work you need OBSE to run every time i load in.

I have a question, could it be that obmm is stopping OBSE being detected ?

[fejeena]

No OBMM and OBSE works fine. 10 years OBSE and OBMM and no problems ( but I have no Steam Oblivion. Thanks God! )

And all the Steam instructions you posted are in my yellow Link !

 

Ok you have moved Steam and Oblivion out of the program folder !!! Yes ?

 

You start Oblivion with the Oblivion exe or with steam ?  Yes?

 

If both Yes....I don't know why it's not working.

 

Maybe your Anti virus program.

Some weeks ago I had problems with the Construction set with OBSE. First it crashed , then it blocked OBSE plugins.

Set your Oblivion folder to "exception list" of your Anti virus program.

 

[gregathit]

Did you turn on steam overlay?  Like it says in the readme file of Obse? 

[HarryS123]

Yes, yes and yes I dont know what is causing the problem i might just purge the whole thing and start fresh.

[myuhinny]

From their post #7 they have not moved oblivion out of the program folder their screenshot still shows it to be in the steam directory which is in the program folder.

 

I have never had a problem with the steam version of oblivion.

[HarryS123]

I think starting a new game has fixed it thats really odd

[myuhinny]

Depending on what you install or uninstall the golden rule is to start a new game and check as not all things get removed/activated when removed or added to your game.

 

Clothing will not require you to start a new game.

Thanks for all the support guys I have fixed the problem Oblivion required me to make a new game for it work that simple! cheers I think we can close the case now
