    So, Oblivion is a pretty old game at this point but I still get the urge to start a new game with new mods every now and then. Recently I've run into a little problem.

    I started a new game, got out of the sewers, did a few quests and quit out. Today, I loaded up the game, got back into my old save and died. When I tried to load the old save again, the game crashed. I tried it again only I tried quickloading instead, the game crashed again. I can't load an old save while I am in the game or it just crashes. I can play as long as I want and save and everything, but I can't load any old saves. It's really starting to get annoying, does anyone happen to know of any fixes for this?

    I can provide the load order for my mods if it's necessary, I just didn't want the OP to look like a wall of text.

    Thanks in advance.

    I had some trouble when I played on the PC version too. There's a patch out there that fixes a fair amount of the glitches I think, but it wouldn't actually install for me.

    Do you have a mod manager installed?

    You will have to play the game straight through without saving in one day.

    @Dr_Feelgood38: Try to load earlier saves, or save and then exit out of the game quickly and hope it doesn't become corrupt.

    If all else fails just re-install the game or if you're using the steam version verify the integrity of your files, by right clicking it in your games tab and selecting local files in the window that appears.

    Mods don't seem to be effecting what's happening.
