When I figure out how to post load order without a wall of text, I will edit this post to include it.
invisible sounds like some kind of mesh problem, but I am not sure what.
The incompatibility warning comes from them both editing the same object, a script IIRC, the UOP fixed it for an oblivion installation without SI, and the USIP fixing it differently for one with SI.
It is covered in the documentation.
about the best practices in 2024", as it may be as useful to some, as the UOP updates are. (I hope the authors are fine with that).
If you still haven't gotten all the official DLCs in 2024, first get/upgrade to the game's GOTY Deluxe Edition (not the GOTY version, as I happened to have before and thought it would have them all - it doesn't). Available on Steam and GOG (I got it 80% cheapier here for just 4 septims). If you have another Steam version like me, you can still install GOG's GOTY Deluxe version and just copy all the DLCs into your old Steam installation folder.
Remember then, to grab all the Unofficial DLC Patches too.
Absolute minimum must-haves (and still working great in 2024) for a stable setup, besides UOP, are also Oblivion Display Tweaks, MoreHeap and suggested, but not required, dxvk (only the d3d9.dll from the latest release). I no longer suggest Oblivion Stutter Remover, as it definetely causes more issues with modern Windows versions than solving. For a good setup with MoreHeap settings, refer to my detailed post in the specific mod. Then also grab EngineBugFixes and Blue's Engine Fixes. Do not install other no longer relevant or possibly damaging or conflicting mods, like NVAC - I looked thoroughly into almost everything I could find. Many are outdated, or not needed.
I truly hope, this helps everyone getting new or again into modding, and safes you some headaches and research, or solves some questions. I did a lot of
research and testing, this is just the conclusion of it all.
Also, there's nothing wrong with using NVAC, and everyone should be using it as it's compatible with Oblivion out of the box.
Regarding Oblivion Display Tweaks, I ran into serious issues trying to use that as well. It caused runaway frame rates which made the game unplayable due to the resulting physics issues.
dxvk is something I can vouch for though. That being set up properly rescued my game from a terrible state of crashing excessively. Once I had it set up well I was able to make the Cyrodiil loop around the roads on foot from Anvil to Leyawiin without crashing. Something I hadn't been able to get anywhere near doing in years.
