I have a problem, Please Read

Now, I really freaking love oblivion, it has everything i love about Morrowind mixed with Skyrim. I at first got it on ps3, but eventually my game would freeze when i saved. I took my last auto save, and put it on a stick. I then tried to find a way to convert it to the PC version, and just yesterday i succeeded. However, It still crashes when I save. I have tried everything - Wyre Bash, Hex editors, .ini tweaking....

I have no mods, and had Oblivion GOTY on ps3 and Deluxe GOTY on PC. I really hope that i won't be forced to give up, because I did 99% of the quests and was about 50% of the way through of completely exploring all of Cyrodiil. I put 111 hours into this save, and I really don't want to start over.

It's that old, notorious Oblivion bug that I can never remember the damn name of (nuke something something?).
Basically, if you complete a massive portion of the game's quests and content, it can eventually start sputtering out and just straight up destroy the save. I believe it had something to do with too many active scripts running at once and bloating the system, but as far as I know there's no fix for it.
Sorry dude, but I think the most you can do is just start anew again. :c

Thank you, my good sir. But is it like that on all platforms? I've 100%'d Skyrim and I've done almost every quest in Morrowind and explored roughly 50% of the locations, will I be able to 100% Morrowind?

I also clicked 'remove bloat' on Wyre Bash, which did nothing.

Actually there is a fix for the a bomb. Do a search of the forums and it should come up. I'm surprised it wasn't a stickyed post.

I've used Wyre Bash to fix it. It didn't do anything. Abomb is losing the ability to save, correct?

Skyrim is different—the Creation Engine is significantly more optimized than the previous engine Morrowind and Oblivion ran on (despite the frequent bugs and glitches, that's just a byproduct of an open-world game) and scripts run much smoother than they had in the past.
From what I remember, Morrowind had a potential to do the same as well, but I don't believe it was as common as Oblivion. I know as I've gotten pretty far along in Morrowind, I've gotten game lag in certain areas, but have certainly never lost a whole save to it.

I think when it comes down to this particular bug, it's a guessing game. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, but it's more likely to happen in Oblivion than the other two. The only tip I could offer is trying to save your game in a new save slot, if you've been overwriting previously. Clean saves seem to help these kinds of problems in general, though I wouldn't call it a permanent fix.

Well, thank you for looking into it. I guess its hopeless.

Actually, no, I was just gonna go back and edit my post before I saw your response

Try this: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/5127/?
I've never personally used it, but after digging around on the forums here I found some testaments to it fixing the problem.

Tried it and it still crashed on saving. :/
