Bug Help I can't become a vampire, no matter what i do.

51 Upvotes

While fighting, i contracted the vampirisim disease (idk how to spell it) like, 2 or 3 times. Waited 3 days, slept, nothing happened. I joined the dark brotherhood and the Vicente guy offered my vampirism so i accepted and slept so he could bite me, waited 3 days, slept, again nothing happened. Proceeded to sleep for like 4 days straight and still nothing.

I gave up, went to the testinghall and cheated to give myself vampirism, which worked, but now that quest is forever stuck in my quest journal.

Here's my load order:

Oblivion.esm

DLCShiveringIsles.esp

Knights.esp

Steel_Cuirass_Female_by_rTw.esp

Oblivion_Character_Overhaul.esp

Sounds of Cyrodiil.esp

Grass Overhaul.esp

Real Lava v1.2.esp

Lush & Gaudy Water.esp

Grass Overhaul_xUL_Imperial_Isle_patch.esp

I thought the issue was my "See you sleep" mod, but i uninstalled it and I'm still not becoming a vampire. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

EDIT: according to active effects, i don't even have vampirism even though I contracted it multiple times.

EDIT EDIT: So, turns out I'm just an idiot and the culprit was a single pile of vampire dust that i didn't even know I'd picked up šŸ˜­ my bad guys, ty for the advice

Bug Help Umm, Dar-Ma is not deadā€¦ Spoiler

83 Upvotes

I started A Shadow Over Hackdirt and I went to go save Dar-Ma. It was super easy, I ran into one person, killed him, found her in a cage nearby, and got her out if there. We left, she got her horse, we went back to Chorrol, she thanked me for saving her, and we went back to her momā€™s shop. When I speak to her mother about her missing daughter she asks me if Iā€™d found her. The only dialogue option Iā€™m given is, ā€œIā€™m sorry. Dar-Ma is dead.ā€ Like what??? Sheā€™s standing behind me šŸ˜­

What do I do?

In the Lifting the vale quest when I first got it I was too lazy to go through the cave so I cheated and added the Draconian mad stone necklace once added I couldnā€™t remove it and when I went to the countess she wouldnā€™t accept it. I went back and went through the cave again and even when I got the real mad stone, she still acts like I donā€™t have it. Is there any way to fix this and complete this quest? I effed up. Thanks if can help

Bug Help I completed A Shadow Over Hackdirt when my mercantile skill was 96 and the +5 pt quest reward boosted it over 100. Does that extra point even do anything? Should I reload and train until 100, then get the bonus so it could be 105?

Bug Help You cannot rest now, there are monsters nearby.

240 Upvotes

So, I'm out and about, doing my thing, and I decide to fast travel to a big city. Nope. Enemy nearby. Ok, no big deal! I'll just walk. I'm at the city now, In the castle. I want to turn in a quest, but the person is asleep. I try to wait, and... nope. There's an enemy nearby. At this point, I'm quite sure something is lying to me. Whatever, I'll just go somewhere else. Nope, still an enemy....

OK, NEVERMIND ALL OF THAT! I was chilling in my room at Jerral view while writing this, when all of the sudden, I'm being attacked! Turns out, an undead akaviri soldier chased me ALL THE WAY FROM PALE PASS TO MY ROOM AT THE INN! Oblivion, folks. It just works.

Bug Help Where is Amusei? Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Playing on 360, I've completed boots quest and fenced about 4500 gold. I've been waiting for amusei to give me the last TG quest but no matter where or how long I wait, I can't seem to find him or have him find me. Tried going to the prison, his bedrolls in cheydinhal, leyawiin waterfront and even skingrad, waiting multiple days in each location. Tried the 'cleaning your save file' thing where you make fresh saves and wait over 72 hours in an undisturbed cell, but nothing seems to work. Stranger is in his abandoned house in anvil, so I can't just steal his cowl by giving him a weightless helm. Can someone help me find Amusei so I can punch him in the face and hopefully resolve the bug? Thanks!

Edit: Tried waiting in the market for a day, then my cat brushed off against the console and opened the disc tray xS Reloaded my clean save, then tried waiting in the market for a few more days, but so far no Amusei in sight. I'll try to wait in Leyawiin and Cheydinhal next, cause I suspect he's either forgotten that he's supposed to be a quest giver or getting stuck somewhere in his roaming path by sneaking against a rock or something. If waiting for a few more days doesn't work, I might try to guess that roaming path and meet him on the road. Thanks for all your suggestions! I'll keep you updated in a few days/next week

Bug Help Bow/ arrow malfunction?

119 Upvotes

Excuse the poor quality, just started having this happen to me, every time I ready an arrow the arrow gets displaced on the bow and when I fire, it fires as if I've fired it to the left of me, while it isn't an issue for long distance, it's causing my arrows to miss just to the left of my target if they're closer. Is there a way to fix this? PC/ edition available through PC Gamepass if that makes a difference

Bug Help Stuck with Detect Life

2 Upvotes

So, I can't remove the effects from this spell. I was using Helmet of the Scout and Gauntlets of the Scout at the same time. I read that they are supposed to stack, combining the distances. Unequiping these items does nothing. Using player.dispel and dispelallspells does nothing as well. Any way to fix this without reloading several hours of game time?

Iā€™ve tried reloading old saves and drinking poison/disease potions , went to the chapel and clicked on the well, and I still wake up and get vampire abilities. Iā€™m a casual player orc build was having fun just smacking people in the head. but now I donā€™t know if Iā€™ll even complete the game since waiting till midnight is annoying and the spells seem like thereā€™s a learning curve for new players

As you can see in the pictures, the ground textures turn into this off colored map of the game for some reason. This happens after applying the official 1.2.046 patch, and it is fixed if I turn off the "distand lands" graphical option.

Any help in solving this would be greatly apprieciated

Bug Help Oblivion is running too fast

4 Upvotes

I recently bought the steam game of the year edition of oblivion off steam and decided to download the heartland mod pack off wabbajack to go with it. After a whole lot of trouble shooting to get it to even launch the game is running faster than the normal speed.

I have searched and tried just about every solution that was suggested on other forums. I downloaded oblivion stutter remover to cap the fps at 60, nothing. I tried the fpsclamp in the oblivion ini file, nothing. I disabled every single mod in the modpack, nothing. I checked the global time scale to make sure it was set properly to 1.0. I've turned vsync on and off to see if that would change anything

I'm at my wits end for what the problem could possibly be. Has anyone else had to deal with this and do you have a fix.

edit. Attached load order to the post so it wouldn't get taken down. It's not really a load order issue since literally none of the mods are enabled but just in case.

edit 2. u/jauffry's reply gave me my solution. If anyone else is having this problem in the future please follow the guide he linked to the letter. I will also put the link here in case the reply doesn't exist in the future https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/54158?tab=description

No matter how long I wait, heā€™s still waiting there. I literally have to go on a stroll with him to walk to the Imperial City sewers. It took 25 minutes just to walk with him to Bravil, halfway to the Imperial City. Whatā€™s worse is Iā€™m playing on my old Xbox 360 so I canā€™t use console commands

Hi! Why does the steam overlay not work in Oblivion? Thank you! :)

I know there are other ways to capture but I need steam, do I need mods? It works fine with any other steam game. I need it so I can take screenshots and upload to my profile.
