well people, the worst has happened, last night i replaced my CPU to the latest and greatest intel have to offer, all went well and installation was a success. On boot up, well i had 2 raptors in raid 0 and the raid failed, the techno geeks will understand that, for everyone else ..well it means """"ALL"""" my oblivion stuff is gone, games, game saves, mods, meshs, projects i was working on, every thing. I sat last night and wanted to cry. Yet strangely this gives me new hope, a fresh installation, from the start, back to level one in the prison cell, in all honesty the sadness at losing all my stuff is slowly being replaced at the idea of playing through it all again, i am wondering should i go for OOO from the start or just play the original, what do you guys think?

Play it vanilla, but use available realism mods. I found it most enjoyable. I think having the best realism mods installed gives you a lot more of an immersive experience, and to me, getting 'into' a game is the best way to enjoy it.

Well i installed just oblivion, no shivering isles, no knights of the nine, just plain old oblivion, the oblivion mod manager and then OOO.
So im still in the prison and have just killed my first troll, man im going to play it properly this time and really build a great player. In fact just the sight of me at level one with a rusty axe and 2 lock picks was amusing, i have d-loaded all the unique landscapes and the keychain mods and a few other like deadly reflex, but does anyone know how to search for conflicts using the mod manager, i am so intent on modding properly this time with out just throwing anything and everything into the data folder

I ALWAYS answer these. I'm just late. Grin

Mod conflicts should always be pretty apparant, like two different things modding the same object, like a creature. It's always good to install one mod at a time and test them individually along with the rest of your pre-installed mods. You're really in trouble if it's several days after you discover a glitch and have installed many mods thereafter. I don't use OBMM so I wouldn't really know about how to use it to diagnose a problem. You could examine the situation where it's giving you conflict. I'll use one situation I had for example. I had recenly installed MoDem's City Life, and went around doing the main quest with the Blades. It was the part where you had to kill the spies near the runestone at dusk. Two of MoDem's added "Town Militia" characters from Bruma came out and helped me do battle. Afterwards, they attacked me (I accidentally stabbed them... twice) and I killed them. I went back into Bruma via the North Gate, did some buisness, then left the town via the East gate. When loaded, the game crashed. Looking back and remembering the characters that died, I uninstalled City Life, and the game kept running smoothly.
By the way, let me know if the Landscapes mod runs well with the original quest and such when you're done with it, I'm being wary. Wink

On keeping your Data folder organized, I like to tell the folder to categorize the files by type, and give a different standard icon for each.

That should pretty much cover everything I know.
