CLS is very hardware-intensive. Are you using the stutter remover and crash prevent system? They should help, to an extent, but if they don't I'm afraid you'll be best off reducing graphic settings.

[Grumpf]

Hi!

 

Also, try to strip your char naked before any animation, it may help. Don't forget to defrag and close all your softwares (browsers, antivirus) before starting Oblivion.

[reprieval]

well i dont think its an issue with the hardware since i just built a new computer too run skyrim on ultra. but i tried to lower it and still crashes. i also tried to defrag and remove my clothing and it still crashed my game. i also tried the stutter remover and crash prevent system and it also doesn't work. Any other ideas?

[Grumpf]

I'll check other mods, if that still doesn't help, I'll check savegame bloating. Are you playing an high level char or a new one?

[reprieval]

i made a brand new one just for this mod

[Grumpf]

Ok then, let's go for the hard road. Back up everything and disable all the other mods, check if it works. When it'll work we can start activating them again and fuss about load order.

[reprieval]

how would i back it up?

[Grumpf]

If you have tons of space, copy your DATA folder somewhere else.

If you don't, zip it and remove the biggest files you can easily find back (BSAs).

[reprieval]

alright i backed it up disabled all my mods except for vToy and my evy costume character mod and it still crashes when i try to activate the animation.

[Grumpf]

Ok that's a bummer...

 

Are you sure those guys haven't placed idle animations hard coded (hear .kf files in the idles folder) ?

Try to temporarily rename your \Oblivion\Data\Meshes\Characters\_male\IdleAnims to XXX just for a test.

 

Put the joint file in your OBSE plugin folder and see if it helps. Clearly defrag your hdd, kill all TSR or other programs running in the background, delete screenshots. I'll also burn some incense and pray Yog-Sothot.

[Guest ThatOne]

I can confirm that both Umpa's walk and active inventory aren't the problem, as I am using both. Neither has any idle animations.

 

Xeo is a race mod and thus I doubt it has any idles.

 

Just trying to help as best I can.

[Grumpf]

Thanks Thatone. I can't remember if it was fixed but I remember that in the past Xeo will destroy eyes of NPCs.

[reprieval]

sorry i just got back from vacation. i just tried what you suggested and it still crashes my game. i have also noticed whenever i try to enter the basement i hear a sound not from the game sorta like a notification if you wanna do something. any ideas?

[Grumpf]

Yes, that sound is WEOcps telling you it just prevented a crash.

 

If you don't have any mod active and it still crashes you may want to try a clean savegame to see if it's bloating.

 

Are you far in the mod? If not I will suggest a new game to be sure there's nothing left in the save. Maybe checking some log will help to.

[reprieval]

i dont think im that far in i just got the second maid to join my staff. ill make a new save and get back to you soon

[Grumpf]

If you have room, backup your Data folder so we can mess with it!

[reprieval]

i already have and i just tried to start a new save and it wont let me wake up from my first dream, when i try to wake up it just resets the dream.

[Grumpf]

Ok that's going to be harsh... If you have backed up everything, can you disable all mods?

[reprieval]

yep now what?

[Grumpf]

Clean your OBSE, what plugins do you still have?

I'd clean my savegame folder, delete screenshots, defrag the Oblivion HDD and check permissions on the Oblivion folder as well as My documents one.

 

Disable cls, make a clean save, enable CLS (if you can redownload it) and finally, finally try again...

[reprieval]

how does one clean the obse folder?

[Grumpf]

Mmm mine only has a plugin folder with Elys 3 files, soundCommands.dll and weOCPS.

 

WEOCPS is not mandatory so I guess, check what else you can have there...

[windglaive]

Had the CDT problem when I got to the maid collection mission. I found that turning my graphics down a little bit and disabling HDR fixed it.

[Grail Quest]

I'm getting some crashing here and there. It appears the scripting during and around animations is very fragile and also a dangerous time to save your game. I also have a suspicion that some scripts are running outside of Game Mode.

 

Case 1: Lisbeth encounter

After Hans talks to me for the first time and I am told to approach Lisbeth, I regained character controls and saved the game. When I went to talk to Lisbeth, she was walking into the tent. I figured something might have broken somewhere so I reloaded the game. On reload, I immediately got the pop-up message that I am not allowed to leave now because of Hans. Reloading a second time caused the game to crash.

 

Case 2: Bravil stop with Lidya

The two goddess minions K and S appear. I let them finish talking to Lidya, then when it seemed everyone was just waiting around, I saved the game before talking to them. I tried the option to have sex, and Lidya was frozen standing up during sex with one of the minions. I reloaded and the game crashed.

I run CCleaner before rebooting Oblivion. When I reloaded the save, Lidya had one arm straight up (part of the casting an on-self spell). She was frozen in that pose during sex and even after I slept and she left the room headed for the IC.

Had to restart the sequence all the way from just entering Bravil. Ran fine with all animations working this time. Seemed safe to save once she was running for the IC.

 

Case 3: Lidya in Three Sisters Inn

Everything ran fine BUT I got a "BONK" error sound just at the very start of the sex scene. Tried it a few times and still got that -- normally I reload whenever I hear the BONK sound as that sounds like an error happened somewhere. Didn't seem to inherit any save game corruption, though.

 

I think a nice idea might be to script a save at a safe time before a scene, and another save after.
