GMac2021 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I KNOW EXACTLY (Edit: Apparently I didn't, and I was trying to fix the wrong thing. Silly Wabbit!) what is causing it, but I can't fix it. This may be another TL;DR moment. That is fine... My game was - I thought - running almost perfectly. Smooth as silk for twenty levels... I was heading away from the Clavicus Vile statue (I had just completed Umbra) towards Bravil to drop off a new pack of slaves for training, when I came across Faregyl Inn and decided to pop in and complete the Argonian lady's "potato bread" quest. So far so good. I entered the Inn, and... Things got weird... Upon entering Faregyl Inn and heading down towards the bar, I noticed a group of NPCs added by From2Chan Lives huddled together and chatting. Obscuring these NPCs was a huge pink squiggle that looked like a small child was handed a day-glo pink "hi-liter" and allowed to go to town on my monitor. Between these pink squggles - which I assumed was a missing texture - I noticed that the affected NPC had white hair. Loading From2Chan Lives in the CS and checking "Use Info" on Faregyl Inn, I narrowed it down to Lyusse. I also noticed that - for some unknown reason - she had massive breasts when I had never used SetBody on her. I do not have AutoSetBody installed, either. Setbody is not at fault I already checked. ( But why the "Reset All Bodies" option was removed from SetBody is beyond me... ) So I went and got the potatoes from the Ogre, went back to Faregyl, and the game crashed. I exited and reloaded an earlier save - CRASH when entering Faregyl. I tried a different toon and waited in Faregyl until Lyusse showed up. As soon as Lyusse entered the Inn -CRASH! (I am familiar with her AI packages - I "waited" until about an hour before she is scheduled to show up. When she entered the Inn - Crash-a-mundo! ). I made a new toon from scratch and started a new game. Crash. I have selected and deselected various combinations of mods. I have rebuilt my bashed patch at least 50 times. I have deleted Lyusse and her packages. Crash. The game does not crash when I do not have From2ChanLives! active. This is one corrupt bitch who appears to be perfectly fine in the CS. All of her meshes and textures are fine according to NifSkope. I have passed her in game on the roads hundreds of times and she was, well, fine. Her race is fine - my Constant Companion Callabel is the same race as Lyusse, and Callabel works perfecty. Not being able to make my game work unless From2Chan was de-activated, I made an ESP with all armours and clothing (see screenshots). Every single piece of armour and clothing works just fine, but the Daedric Armour always crashes my game. Lyusse does not appear to have Daedric Armour, though. (Daedric Armour also works perfectly in the Plains of Oblivion... but not on NPCs... or any of my toons.) I have BSA redirection via OBMM. I check every single mesh and texture in NifSkope before I add them to my game. I am using the skeleton from GregAtHit's new animation project. The ONLY thing that fixes this problem is deselecting From2ChanLives. I have passed Lyusse on the roads of Cyrodiil many, many times without problems before. Some mod SOMEWHERE must have screwed up my armours, but I do not remember how to fix them or check for conflicts. I cannot for the life of me find a broken mesh or missing texture using NifSkope when I check anything that Lyusse wears or uses. 2nd Last Test: A brand new toon. 100% clean straight out of the Imperial Prison. Game crashed when I tried to enter Faregyl Inn. Without From2Chan active, she could enter the Inn just fine. This drives me NUTS because I have played literally hundreds of hours with From2Chan Lives active without a problem. Last Test: Using my original save, I avoided Faregyl and dropped my slaves off at Bravil. Heading north to the IC, I pass Lyusse without incident. Packed slaves have nothing to do with my problem, as I experienced this crash with a clean toon who had no Lover's mods active. Update: Lyusse only crashes when she returns to Faregyl. On the roads she works fine. Knife, meet wrists... I need to know which tools will help me find the conflicts that are making my game suddenly unplayable. If you can offer any insight; or if you actually read all this - I thank you. I have deconstructed my game to the very minimum of mods - but I am listing them all below. It is only one NPC in From2Chan that crashes my game (so far) - and it only crashes when she enters Faregyl Inn. Oddly enough - deleting her does not fix the problem. I am missing something obvious. I am Oblivion - ous. Please Note: sexy_island.esp, HentaiMania2_Expansion.esp, and Lovers_DarC.esp are my personal mods. They were not active during my tests, and they touch no vanilla items, packages, or locations. They all exist on my personal version of Stroti's "Sexy Island" modder's resource.

GKM Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I'll be honest, I didn't read all your post. (Ain't nobody got time for that) But an item that when equipped, causes a crash is because the nif is "bad" usu it needs to be imported into blender, the skeleton deleted, and then a new skeleton imported and that fixes it. (these nifs will still open in nifskope and often look "fine") However, it's a vanilla mesh, so it's caused by some sort of bad vailla armor replacer.
perfectioncat Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 You should upload the NIF file. If you do so it, the problem will be settled early
Guest ThatOne Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 As I do not use From2Ch, the help I can offer you is limited. However... From what you wrote, I can assume that there is something that is supposed to happen at the time the NPC enters the inn. Deleting her does not solve the crash, so one can assume the NPC itself is not actually the source of the crashes. The source, however, triggers at the same time the NPC would enter the inn if she was not deleted - it could be an event, a script or something else. The only thing I can suggest is that you check AI packages, events and scripts running in the inn at the time the NPC should enter. Also, if the mesh "seems" fine but doesn't work correctly, you should do as GKM said and import, remove skeleton, import new skeleton and export it. It "should" solve the issues.
gregathit Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 As a long time user of From2chLives and one who has completed the "potato bread" quest, I can only add that the problem is likely an armor or clothing item. Try replacing the clothing\armor mesh files being used by Lyusse with something else. Doesn't much matter what it is, as long as it takes up the equipment slots. If you suspect your Deadric armor of being bad then replace the mesh files with alternates. That is the quickest way to eliminate this variable.
GMac2021 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 I do not blame anybody for not reading that stream of consiousness BS. I was too tired to deal with the problem so I went to bed. Then I woke up... What messed me up was that I did not have a problem when From2Chan was inactive. But it had nothing to do with From2Chan and everything to do with two mods fighting over the Daedric Cuirass. Herein lie the Tygers: 1F Trashdog's SPB Heavy AB Shop.esp - THIS is a horrible mess of a mod with many broken meshes and missing textures. I used it before and I thought it worked. It doesn't. Buh-bye. This mod randomly f*cks up the Daedric Cuirass - which it changes, but does not actually add to the game. My saved games were corrputed because of this, but using Wyre I managed to clean them. Yay! I like my pudgy women, though, so I am making my own version... 2C EVE_ShiveringIslesEasterEggs.esp - This is the real culprit, installed by me blindly using OBMM and just clicking YES YES YES! Eliminating this and rebuilding my Bashed Patch resolved all of the conflicts I mentioned in my insanely long original post. I was SURE i had used this mod before, though... It did not help that last night I was trying to run Wrye Bash, OBMM, Tes4Edit, and the CS all at once; AND I was constantly starting up and shutting down Oblivion itself to check my changes. Thank you for your patience and suggestions. I just had to shout this out in a public forum so I would actually go through with fixing my game instead of simply uninstalling it like a did last year when things went south. Daedric Armour now works. Conflicts resolved. I guess this issue is now resolved.

I DID change Lyusse's armor at the time, but it turns out that I picked on the wrong NPC. Through the pink squiggles that I mentioned in my huge original post, I saw only white hair, ponytails, and ebony armor. Turns out that "ROSE" and her Daedric Armor was the true culprit. Once I found out that my daedric armor was corrupted it was simply a matter of going to bed and dealing with it another day.
gregathit Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 What you describe is EXACTLY why I never install ANY clothing overhaul plugins. I manually pull all meshes and textures out, check them and make my own esp (if it is not a vanilla replacer item). Yes, it is a fuckton of work but I never have any headaches like you describe trying to figure out what plugin in jacking things up. If I ever get caught up on Lovers stuff my goal was to make a massive BU plugin for both XeoSP++ and From2chLives. That way most if not all of the clothing\armor in the game would be breakable.
GMac2021 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 That's what I am doing now. Trashdog's changes Daedric armor to point to Drake Knight (or dread knight... don't recall right now) textures. I did not have those installed, so the game crashed. My "sexy_island.esp" is my custom worldspace that will eventually be home to all of my clothing / armor / weapons downloads, but Trashdog's is so borked that I do not even know if it worth my time fixing it - or if I even remember HOW to fix.
