So...you tes5edit cleaned the unofficial patches? The patches created and designed specifically to FIX errors in the game. The ones that are created by a whole community of deity level mod makers that know exactly what they are doing. The same people that run the BOSS lists, that tell you what mods to clean and what mods NOT to clean. You should not ever clean the unofficial patches, any ITM's that tes5edit finds are deliberate and need to be left in there. Seems to me that you've broken your save by cleaning those. Also in my own experience and some advice from others on these forums. The only way to have a truly clean start to a game, is to START A NEW game. Importing a vanilla save and starting from scratch are 2 different things. As you know exactly where the prisoner escort is going to be, might i suggest you start a new game from scratch, once your out of the helgen, save the game, close it and restart. Then load your save, find the escort. And see if it still happens. The main issue with modding skyrim is the scrypts.......THEY ARE EVIL. They do what they want when they want and need to be treated like a woman "at that time". Give it a try. You'll be surprised i think. It couldn't be any of your .esp's. From what i see you've only added lighting and weapons, nothing that tweaks behaviour.

I get what your saying, i know that less is more...especially with the ageing game engine that needs to be re-written and not patched.......DAMN YOU BETHESDA!!!! Since my last playthrough, i havn;t really added that many mods. My last playthough was no more unstable than a vanilla game....if not a bit better. Im thinking that i may have cocked up with my tesEdit patches.....i might have gone too far with the cutting room floor tweaking......Patching it with IMSettlements, and IMPatrols etc. Im gonn ahve to take them out, try again. And see which mods i can live without. Looks like im gonna have to do some indepth testing.....was hoping i wouldnt have to but i will. If i figure it out, i;ll post a report on here so other ppl can see :P

I have just left helgen, ran through riverwood and went to the shop in whiterun. My encumbrance lvl is 35/300 I have been using IW IA, and all the other 'item adding mods' in my list for a very long time and never had issues with them. I use a Lydia for moving storage :) And the papyrus log REALLY isn't that hard to understand, but having 4 logs with varying results doesn't give you a solid answer as to the problem mod. Papyrus log gives you the load order number of the esp being called. So you can see what each line is reffering too. If you have 4 logs, from 4 CTDS, and all 4 have the exact same message withing 4 or 5 lines of the bottom of the log (the crash) then its a fair bet that is the issue. So you take that mod out, and try again. Then, when the game runs fine. You can open tesEdit and figure out the issue. But for me there is not a single corresponding message in any of my logs. And seeing as how i've added a few new gameplay mods to my list, i know one of them is the issue. UIts just too much hastle bug hunting when i can just ask the community to look and say "Hey, take that one out. Its a bugger. We have been having issues with it for a while" Sorry to rant, just not in a good mood. I finished playing the other games, and wanna get back into Skyrim good and proper :P

I stopped using ICF helmets, if you load your FULL mod list in tesEdit, and then look at ICF Helmets .esp's you`ll find that almost all of the tweaks added by the mod are overwritten by something else. To be honest the benefits of having a face in a helmet over a smaller mod list didn;t really cut it for me. But that'll be where your problem is. If you can be bothered you can spend 15 hours in tesEdit making a patch to fix it

Thank you for the idea. But i always have my papyrus logs turned on. I find that having them on helps to slow down the engine a smidge to cope with the scripts... My logs dont really show anything usefull. They are always different, never anything that can help me. What im hoping is that someone can look at my mod list and recognise "that one mod" that causes these issues. I've gone though tes5edit and made patches for all the conflicts i can find. My mod list is currently 450 with 243 active .esp's. It would be 320 without merging my patches. Since i last had a solid enough playthrough, there have been many MANY updates to mods, and some substitutes aswell. I've also added a few new ones. But i am positive that i have done everything i can without a thorough stability test. and i really dont have the time or effort to do that. 1. Start from scratch and play through for an hour. 2. Activate 10-20 mods, and play for another hour. 3. If all ok goto 1. 4. If not ok refine search, and test each newly activated mod one by one... SCREW THAT. Im gonna try removing some i could possibly live without, and come back here and see if any of the super geeks have any answers. p.s. I am using Safety Load, and i have tried editing the ini to EnableLoadOnly = true, but that makes my game even MORE unstable. I can't even get out of helgen....My game was running brilliantly without that tweak

Hey guys, Im in the process of building a new Setup. I am using a fair few mods, and im just about sorted with the Patches etc. But im getting CTD's randomly when looting and buying from merchants. Are there any major issues that anyone knows about, or simple tricks to use? Any mods that cause it? Im just being lazy, and dont really want to sit here for the next 3 weeks, after work, starting a game with no mods, running around playing the game for an hour. Restarting with 15 mods turned on, blah, blah blah... Heres my current mod list, from Mod Organizer Plugins Mod List Im gonna have a quick play around with a few mods. Firstly gonna get rid of Dynamic Loot....its a good mod, with a great idea, but seems like a good culprit

Why are you using all 5 lanterns of skyrim patches? Your only supposed to use 1.....static mesh esp is not needed with the uskp....... As far as know birds of skyrim isn't compatible with skyTEST........ Try taking out little mods, like all 3 bird mods, wet and cold can be a git for script lag, real wildlife, And skyTEST.. Can you do that?, try taking out the fast travel fix, it screwed up my game, Long story short, check for compatibility issues,...... Less mods.... More stability.

Put on your enb and find out. If you use enb manager it's literally just a single click to take it off and continue testing Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

ok......WTactualFFFFFffffFF?!?!?!?!? That worked. Why did that work? I only have onetweak in my MO and no mods outside of it. So loading up skyrim from the standard skyrim launcher, in the install directory should not be affected by that. onetweak is in modorganizer folder so why? Meh its working m=now, im happy again....untill the first ctd My game outside of MO is running stock ini files

i`ll give it a try, but the game wont load outside of MO, with no mods.

So yes, another thread about crashing on boot. But i am completely flummoxed. All i have done is a thorough update of my mods, enb, etc. Loading the game through MO. Set to windowed mode, with onetweak Loading through MO > skse - crashes MO > Skyrim Loader - crashes MO > ATTK - crashes Outside of MO, with no mods at all. Only skse installed Outside of MO > SKSE - crashes Outside of MO > Skyrim loader - crashes Outside of MO > ATTK - crashes All exe`s are set to run as admin. My entire mod list loads up in tes5edit without a single error. I have restored my backup of vanilla installation. (Which has no problems, i have restored it before and it works fine) Short of a full re-install i can't think of whats happeneing.

Well I've just spent the past couple of days updating and tweaking my mod list. Reinstalled a few mods and checked lots for conflicts. Can't find anything in wyrmstooth. Thinking it might have just been an install glitch or something. Tomorrow I'm gonna crack on with some good game play and see what papyrus kicks out at me. Try n figure out what happened Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Im just having a bit of an overhaul of my installation anyway. gonna re-download the mod, and double tripple check everything is installed properly. And spend a LOT of time staring at tes5edit, SkyRe is a great mod, but a bugger for conflicts

yeah, got rid of that. The problem is im getting lots of "script no longer contains" errors, but the scripts are all there

Well as you may have guessed i have started this thread to talk about skyfalls + skymills in skyrim.....lol But no seriously, i can't get my game to run with Wyrmstooth installed. It spams my Papyrus log, causes loads of CTD's and freezes, and obviously that makes my game unplayable. I get lots of "script cannot find ..... does not contain that property" errrors I have tried with fresh starts, and half way through saves. I have Tried the game with wyrmstooth installed, and it causes LOTS of instability. Then if i remove it from my game, and try again, there are no problems. The game runs for hours without a freeze, or CTD. (And thats the same save, not even restarting from scratch) I have gone through it in tes5edit (OMG that took ages!!) and found nothing, only a couple of minor things that really dont need sorting. Can someone out there, take a look at my mods/load order etc, and maybe tell me whats up? MOD list I was going to show you my ini files too but i know it can't be those, i have already tried resetting them to vanilla, and it didn't work. I am currently using Ewis High ini and prefs. And they have given me no problems at all. I am using ModOrganizer, and you can see the rest in my sig \/

Keep the actual game files on the ssd, but set everything else to the hdd. Eg.... Your downloads in MO. Also mo e your users folder, doesn't really contain anything speed related. But deffo best to keep skyrim amd mod files on the ssd. It's a bugger having a 5200rpm hdd and a 33Gb nodded game... Take frigging AGES to load up Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I'm thinking it's probably something to do with the rate event overlays. Coz the add on for overlays contains the textures but the actual overlay part of the mod is included I am the main mod. What I'm thinking is, there must be an invisible texture overlaying the character. When you add a tattoo it replaces the clear overlay with the tattoo overlay, but ddsopting the clear one results in a broken texture.... Hence the purple bodies but head are ok. Does that make any sense? It would be easy to test, I just can't be bothered to do it Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Thats an esy one to fix....I had the same issues myself.....Its race menu. Re-install race menu, and DO NOT DDSopt it at all. I dont know how or why this happens, but its exactly what i had

Kool, cheers Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Kool, I what's the vanilla speed? So I can set I back after I tested? Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

2500k at 4.2, 8Gb dominator and 4Gb 670,running off 2Tb 7200rpm Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Well, gonna give it a go. Dow sizing small animals and just optimising the bigger ones Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

But won't the game be taxed searching through the large number of textures to choose from. I know it won't be taxed by having different textures I'm just wondering if it will be taxed by giving it such a large selection to choose from? I'm probably just gonna stick with neo's recommendations from SR anyway. But wondering nonetheless Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Are you using enb? Coz the newer ones handle rain as well, turn it off in the shift+enter menu. All the way at the bottom if you are. Gotta admit, looks awesome. But agree with rootsrat, purple usually means texture Issue Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Shirley you can't be serious? Having 8 or more Gb of AV textures? Won't that tax the hell out skyrim? Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta
