Default Need help fixing problems I'm having with Oblivion

As many of you may know my Oblivion likes to screw things up for me. So basically this thread "renews" all of my unsolved problems that I've had with Oblivion and puts them all here. With the problems that I've made individual threads for, the last post I got was from like last year, and I still have that problem. So if anyone knows of anyway to fix one of the problems mentioned below, I'd love some help.

By the way threads that I have already made a thread for, I will make a link to that thread instead of just explaining the problem again, as I probably won't remember much of the details of the problem anymore. I'd like it if you don't tell me a way to fix a problem in any of the threads that I make a link too, to save me the trouble of having to check all of them. If you absolutely have to, then tell me to check that thread here.

Need help sorting my mods in Oblivion Mod Manager: Need help with load order in Oblivion Mod Manager

By the way I already sorted some of my mods with OMM but it didn't recognize most of them, so I still need help with it. I can't explain it all here, you'll have to read the posts in the thread I made for it.

NPC's stand still when in combat
: Shortly after I used Oblivion Mod Manager to sort some of my mods (see the above link for details) I noticed then when I go into combat with an NPC, they would stand still and not run at me. About 75% of them will do this, and they will still attack if I get close to them. Archers will shoot their bow at me, but still won't move. Is this a problem that occured when I sorted some of my mods with Oblivion Mod Manager?

Missing some sound effects: First of all the sound effects I'm missing include: noise it makes when you pick up/drop a miscellaneous (misc) item, and all the sound effects it makes when you click on menu buttons, except for a couple. For example, when you enter conversation with an NPC and you click the "Persuade" icon on the very bottom left hand corner, it won't make the noise it usually makes when you click on it, but it will make the noise when you click the "X" button to exit conversation. I still have the same noise when you click "Cancel" on the "Wait" or "Sleep" menu. I'm also missing the noise it makes whe the "Travel to.....?" fast travel menu comes up. That's all I can think of now, and this problem isn't that bad that it ruins gameplay for me, but I'd like to have them back.

Forest animals are attacking me when they shouldn't: I have completed the OOO quest "Shadows in a Struggle for Power" in which the final reward **Spoiler** is recieving the "Gift of the Wild" which prevents all forest creatures (i.e. real world animals including the oversized rats and crabs.) from attacking you. You don't need to wear anything special to have this effect active like you do the Boots of the Crusader in the Knights of the Nine questline. Right after I sorted my mods with Oblivion Mod Manager, this problem came up. I guess this problem and the above mentioned "NPC's stand still when in combat" problem.

That's all of the major problems I'm having that I can remember. If some more turn up or I remember another one, I'll mention it here. By the way if someone asks for my load order list (in other words, the entire list of mods that I have active when I play the game) I'll warn you that it's huge, and will likely make this thread about 2-4 posts away from going to page 2. And no, I don't get serious lag, and no I don't get that many crashes. My computer is powerful enough to handle everything at a reasonable framerate. Although I would like some way to increase it a little.

Here are some other problems I've having that aren't really problems with Oblvion, but just questions. As I said before, these haven't got a new post in a long time, and I would still like an answer with them:

Can I increase my FPS with no quality loss?

^^^^ ----> This has already been answered, but I am just verifying that the best way to increase my FPS is to get more RAM. I'd like to know if there is any other way before I got out and spend money on more RAM.

Is there another site to download Top of the World?

Can't find some Unique Landscapes mods

Again the above mentioned questions aren't problems, just questions that I'd like answered and haven't gotten a new post in a while. So if anyone has any solution to any of the above mentioned problems/questions, please tell me. And if you have any questions, you've but to ask.

This program won't make me lose any sounds will it? Another thing, what exactly does this unpacking do?

the unpacking places the files in the data folder of oblivion. the game will use those files in stead of the files in the bsa archive.

So in other words it won't make me lose any sounds right? And if I understood you right then it takes the sounds from the sound folder and puts them in the data folder? If I basically just repeated what you said then that's good, I understand then. lol
