Thanks so much for your help, your quick responses, and your detailed explanation! Awesome community here.

I did as you suggested and when I found the Home Decorating guides, I noticed that all of them are highlighted red. I can see the conflicting entries and the entries that are being overwritten, but not being a modder, I have no idea what they mean, and which ones are the important ones. BTW, I understand the color cods, but I'm reproducing them here as they are easier to read color coded than if I add comments. Here's what I'm seeing if anybody else can help me with this info.....

On a bit of a tangent to this, does anybody know of a source of documentation on how to resolve conflicts like this? I notice in the Skyrim Revisited guide that the author corrects a bunch of problems in TES5Edit, but leaves other ones as is, and I don't understand why that's the right thing to do. I'd love to learn more about how to diagnose these problems myself, but I haven't been able to find any kind of resources with that info. Do any exist? If so, please link. ;)

Log file part 2: Looking at other log files from the same crash, I found that they looked pretty different from this one (especially the way they ended). I was going to post another one, but decided against it due to size. If anybody would like to see another one, I can comply. If I left out any details, please let me know and I will provide them if possible.

Log file part 1:

Hi all. I recently installed Skyrim fresh from a slightly altered version of Skyrim Revisited. I've been very happy with the way Skyrim has been running. It's not free from problems, but it runs pretty well. Occassionally I get CTDs and once in a while I the game will freeze up on me. I've been willing to deal with those minor problem as I figure that no install of Skyrim is going to be completely free from issues. heh Recently though, I bought Breezehome and I've found that every time I try to open the "Home Decorating Guide - Whiterun" book, the game CTD. It does not appear to crash with the opening of other books, just that one. I figured since it's crashing at such a specific point, maybe that should be easier to troubleshoot. So here I am. System Specs:     Intel i5 2500K (slightly overclocked - running at 3.30GHz)     8GB system RAM     NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 with 1.2GB VRAM I used MO as I followed the Skyrim Revisited Guide. Load Order (from BOSS): Here's the Load Order from MO because it uses different naming: As I stated above, I used a slightly adjusted STEP Skryim Revisited load. The mods I did not install from Skyrim Revisisted are (IIRC):   The Mods I did install instead are (IIRC): Some of the mods that were installed had newer versions that the the Skyrim Revisited Guide.  Most notable amongst these are all of the Unofficial Patches. I've had several crashes in general as I mentioned above. I had one crash early in the game when my character was walking along the shore across the river from Riverwood. I had one crash later in the game, riding my horse from Riverwood toward Embershard Minds on the road. Those are the only two I can clearly remember, though there were others. I've had two lock-ups too, but I don't remember details. However, as I stated above, if I try to read the "Home Decorating Guide - Whiterun" book, no matter where I am at, the game will CTD as soon as I click on the "E" (read) key. I'll include a Papyrus log file from the most recent of those crashes since it may provide additional information . For this log, I logged into the game where my character was sitting in Breezehome (with the Kitchen [i think] and the Loft decorations). I ran my character upstairs into the default bedroom and opened the chest. In the chest is the book with many other things I don't feel like carrying around. I removed the book and clicked on it to read it (though hitting the "E" key produces the same result). The game immediately CTDd. (These have to be broken up to fit, and can be found below.)
