Okay, I managed to finally get past the wagon after several attempts at getting this damn thing to work, slamming my face into issue after issue... for several hours. I finally got to the point where I am crashing when I try to enter Helgen Keep when going to follow either Ralof and the other guy. I go to the door and the loading screen comes up. About 2-4 seconds later, CTD. Not sure what is causing this.. any help would be beneficial.

I was looking under the DynDOLOD download page and noticed that it had DynDOLOD Patches, and within DynDOLOD Patches was some stuff for Lanterns of Skyrim, Skyfalls and Skymills, and Skyrim Flora Overhaul. Would these be the things I need to get Skyrim working properly?

Update: Well, I removed DynDOLOD and tried to launch Skyrim and it seemed to work fine. I installed DynDOLOD, DynDOLOD Resources, and regenerated the Textures, installed them... and I was very, very careful to follow every bit of instruction given... I attempted to launch the game once more, and then I encounter Infinite Loading once again... I am not sure what DynDOLOD is doing to break the game, but I am at a complete loss right now.

Alright, I deactivated the mods and enabled them one by one, and everything worked fine until i got to a few specific ones... it seems that it is crashing due to DynDOLOD.. and I am not sure why. The only thing I can think of is the three .esp that DynDOLOD Resources added into my load order: DesyncBirdsOfPrey.esp SolitudeExterior.esp WhiterunExterior.esp or perhaps something to do with the Textures? I will remove everything DynDOLOD and start off from scratch by regenerating the textures, and see if that works.

I double checked SKSE and the Papyrus, though Papyrus wasn't set as high.. I can run it to try and get more information. I also posted, incase it mattered, what plugins the bashed patch disabled. Some of them seemed like they shouldn't be disabled... but then again, I dunno.

As I am going through the mod list, I just realized that I would have to keep tabs on what mods the bashed patch disabled, which is quite a bit. Here is what the bashed patch disabled: Weapons & Armor_TrueOrchish&DaedricWeapons.esp Dead Body Collision.esp Weapons & Armor_TrueWeaponsLvlLists.esp Complete Crafting_TrueWeaponsLvlLists.esp GQJ_DG_vampireamuletfix.esp Paralyze.esp dD-Dragonborn-Dawnguard-EBT Patch.esp Radiant and Unique Potions Poisons and Booze.esp Soul Gems Differ.esp randomthunder.esp Traps Make Noise.esp BetterQuestObjectives-AMBSkyforgePatch.esp BetterQuestObjectives-CRFPatch.esp BetterQuestObjectives-NECPatch.esp BetterQuestObjectives-PaarDilemmaPatch.esp Moss Rocks - Legendary.esp AOS_Reduced_Reverb_Addon.esp The STEP Guide never made mention of enabling them except for VM Trap Fixes. Do all of these look normal for Wrye Bashed to disable from the bashed patch creation?

I will try that, though I have noticed that the Bashed Patch disabled quite a few of various mods, and some I did not imagine would need to be disabled... could this be the cause of the issue?

I ran LOOT to manage the load order and now Skyrim seems to be freezing at the very start of the carriage ride, and I do not know why.. It shows the black screen with the whole Bethesda Presents... Comes up to where its looking at the imperial guard and ralof... About 7 seconds later when either The Elder Scrolls comes up, or SKYRIM comes up... the game just freezes. It is a consistent (varying by 2-3 seconds) and I do not know why it is doing that. I have checked triple checked SKSE, tried the wrapper and injector of ENB, double checked the ini settings, ran loot to make sure there were no errors... I'm certain I did the bash patch correctly.. I am just at a loss right now. Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks for the assistance. I am going to create a new post for a seperate issue.

I had disabled Birds and Flocks for DynDOLOD, but enabling it causes it to drop back down to the bottom of the list with no indication of where it should go in the load order. Following the STEP Guide, where should the ESP be placed?

Alright, and thank you.

I began rebuilding a bashed patch and when it got to the point of importing and tweaking settings.... it looks like everything was checked already. Alias Mod Names was the only one unchecked, and despite my attempts of completely starting Wrye Bash over from scratch, it appears to have saved my previous settings. Is this something to be worried about? The step guide makes mention of checking certain boxes, and tweaking certain settings... but would everything being checked affect the process and stability? EDIT: I just realized that this post probably isn't on the proper board. Any way to get this moved to the right one?

Doh. Thanks XD

Quick question while I am still on the topic... I am using Basic Edition v1.87. The guide says to hide certain files in Skyrim Flora Overhaul... but the dlc02 folder seems to not exist within the filetree for it. Is this an error or am I missing something?

I see. Thank you for the quick response.

Ah, thank you.

I just recently started a new game after modding up Skyrim, and I cannot seem to get past the first loading screen. It just seems to infinitely load and I've tried looking at a few basic fixes and checks, but I could not figure it out. I would provide a papyrus log, but I am not permitted to upload it for some reason.

So the guide updated through november and into december, and I was curious if there was any reason that the guide wasn't using Skyrim Flora Overhaul 2.5b

Thanks for the explanation. I will definitely remember it for picking texture options in the future.

Fix confirmed. I wasn't even aware such an option existed in SkyrimPrefs. What exactly was this doing?

Sure thing. skyrim.ini skyrimprefs.ini

From what I've researched up, users with low to medium graphic settings get these issues, but those using high settings have no issues with it. Looking into the texture files, I noticed that alchemyworkbench01.dds and moneybag01.dds are missing mipmap textures. Could this be the issue?

This is caused by Skyrim Redesigned due to missing mipmap files for the coinbag and alchemy table textures.

Skyrim Redesign has black/purple textures in it's alchemy table and money bags.

So I've been having an issue with the money bags and alchemy table having black and rainbow textures, but then i read somewhere that putting them through DDSopt can fix it? How do I go about doing this to fix the texture? Or is there another way of going about it?
