Oblivion A-Bomb Bug Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I vaguely remember this being covered elsweyr ( ), and if so this can be deleted if someone would be kind enough to guide me to the proper thread, but I was curious if this issue ever got fixed by any mods. Maybe the Unofficial Patch?

Buffy moved from Oblivion back in 2014 but I remember the A-bomb well. We found the simplest fix was to install Wyre Bash - that can be a bit intimidating but carefully follow the instructions. Once installed, WB has basically a one click 'fix A-bomb' feature that works wonderfully. That is why I installed WB but once I began getting braver with it and tinkering with it I found it a handy utility with some other very nice features. I never did get brave enough to use it for installing/managing mods (I used OBMM).

I use both WB and OBMM. OBMM primarily for Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul and a couple of others. WB for everything else. including fixing A-Bomb, removing bloat and fixing corrupt saves.

Yeah, I’ve noticed mod authors can’t seem to agree on how best to package their work, lol. I’ve got a weather mod that tells you to install it with WB/Bain, and then I’ve got Qarl’s Textures that tell you to use OBMM. I guess it’s ok since most every modding guide says you should have those programs anyway. Still, it would be nice if it could all be uniform.

I'm rusty at it now, but recall that it's normally easy to convert at OBMM mod to WB format. Very few can't be converted. But again, I'm no longer an expect on the topic.
