cemacar: Is this version censored too?
(+18) This is the retail version (+18)
This is the Steam version
Not censored in the way you think.

While the Wikipedia article does not mention the patch number, the texture censoring was executed in the first Official Patch for Oblivion, which was rushed out following the ESRB re-rating.

Hello,
as far as I know, the Oblivion Game of the Year Edition Deluxe is only available in English because some of the DLCs have never been translated (it is the same in German, although the German version of Oblivion is so bad that that's not really an issue). I don't have Oblvion here on gog so I can't confirm this, but it says so on the store page and it is the same on Steam. If you are trying to use the French versions of the unofficial patches with the English version of the game, this may cause issues and may be the reason for your problems.

Although now that I think about it, why would there be french patches for the DLCs if there are no French versions of them? Also, I see you used a translation patch... hm, sorry, I may not be able to help you.

First off, it would have been best to ask this on the Elder Scrolls forum.

Your load order seems to be wrong. In short, you should have all the unofficial patch content loaded before anything else, EXCEPT for the Unofficial DLC patches which should be loaded after their parent packages.

I've attached a screenshot of the load order I have setup in Wrye Bash and can confirm is working without issues. Ignore Francesco's Mod, but all the rest should be setup similarly.

Edit: What Pherim mentioned may also be true. I'm not sure that the French version of the unofficial patches will work with the English version of the game.

Hi !
Thanks for the reply :)

The patches are unofficial and are fan-made (By french fans)
The translation patch is also a fan-made.

I will try to deactivate all modification and play the Gog vanilla version but i am pessimistic ...

0Grapher: Thank you. Oscuros was already on my list but FCOM Convergence wasn't.
I've posted your suggestion in the mod thread. :)
I think those large overhauls are great but I'm wondering what's the ideal level scaling mod for a newcomer who wants to add more mods without many incompatibilities and who doesn't want an extreme departure from the vanilla game yet.
avatar
huan: I was pondering the same. I didn't use any level scaling mod in my previous playthrough, but at higher levels the vanilla game is pretty ridiculous. What's wrong with level scaling in oblivion is that leveling up is pointless, you never find an enemy that you can stomp to the ground, enemy you can train your less developed skills on, and don't dare to diversify your skills or invest too much time in noncombat skills, because enemies WILL be able to decimate you - they scale to your level, not to your skills.
Not only at higher levels! The first time I realized how bad level scaling was was with my second character who saved Kvatch as an absolute wimp and only met the weakest opponents.
Pretty much everything is wrong with the level scaling.

huan: What is nice about it is that you can be reasonably sure you can explore anywhere without need to keep large list of "TODO explore later notes". Witcher 3 gets away with it because almost everywhere you know the level where you are expected to survive, or at least have "here be still unclaimed guarded treasure" marker on the map. In oblivion, if you don't explore that_cave_you_just_found when you first find it, chances are you will never return.
One problem is that the fighting systems in the Elder Scrolls games aren't very good. Another problem is that the strength differences between bandits at different levels is so high. -Which is totally pointless because they'll always be at around your level.
That makes it risky to have un-scaled enemies because they can be impossible to defeat and it's not easy to limit strong characters to special areas. In Oblivion and Skyrim there is no incentive to risk going into a dangerous area because the loot will be completely generic. Level scaling is sweeping your bad design choices under the carpet.

Regarding your mods: You could head over to the mod thread, where I and some other users listed some options. You could list your mods there, too.

Even though I've bought the game, I still look at the title of the post and think, "Someone's playing a joke"

So, the patch pretty much censored a mod, or what? The way you wrote it, it sounds like Bethesda censored their game.
Bethesda stressed that there was no nudity in their game without a modification, that the company "didn't create a game with nudity" and did not intend for nudity to appear in their game.

Yes and no. Apparently the original game contained a texture with nudity in it (the female upper body texture), but in the game itself, this part of the texture was not visible due to the non-removable underwear. Someone first had to modify the 3D model to make it visible, and apparently this was enough of a problem for Bethesda to change the texture in a patch, even though this change was not visible in an unmodded game.
Of course, nobody could do anything about all the nudity mods that came after that, which used their own textures. Apparently it was enough to have one single texture with partial nudity buried in the game files, which can only be accessed with external tools, anyway.

Pherim: snip
Thanks for clarifying. Gotta hate stories like that.

Yes, and John ******* Romero blaming the modders for upsetting the old ladies at the ERSB is the cherry on top. I wonder if he forgot about that little easter egg on the last fight in Doom II.

You can use Wrye Bash or Nexus Mod Manager to move the plugins around manually (just drag and drop), and make it look like WinterSnowfall's pic.

Failing that, just do the old "deactivate mods one by one until the game stops crashing" routine to find the culprit.

exploding heads = good
nipples = bad

Gotta love reactionary values...

If you want to see some nipples, there's always Battlespire. (Create a female character to see them.)

Does anyone know what happened to this thread?:

When last I checked (3 hours ago) it had not received any new posts in days. Did the poster ask for it be locked?
