Thanks for replying! Installed to C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition

This time, Skyrim SE is crashing to desktop on save. Save file is about 9600 KB. Contents of NetScriptFramework crash report posted here: https://pastebin.com/hQXAEeTk. What does it all mean? I followed the STEP guide to the letter. I then added a few minor mods (Windyridge Cottage, Tomebound, Dynamically Disable Eye Adaptation and Bloom) that, I noted, did not conflict with anything in the STEP guide before generating LODs and starting the new game. Save has about 125 hours in it at this point. Tried setting Engine Fixes SaveGameMaxSize to True, uiCompression=0. It looks like the uncompressed save is no good...they're actually getting larger than 128 MB uncompressed. I'll also try uiCompression=1 and see if it helps. Now crashing on load of an uncompressed save. New crash report: https://pastebin.com/rVfkfvhY. Am I screwed?

While following the STEP guide to the letter, users will notice that STEP links to: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334 In the description of the mod, the author clearly states this version is no longer supported. What's more, this version of MO is unable to connect to the Nexus to handle nxm links. Is it OK to use MO2 and follow the rest of the STEP guide?
