Thanks for replying...I figured some of the random CTDs were because of this and optimized the large textures as best I could. In the end I decided I didn't really need all the HD packs so I removed a select few which I remembered as being very large. I can't run the game on ultra and don't have the RealVision ENB installed so I couldn't care less if the textures were back to Skyrim vanilla state. (I only have a GTX 550 Ti cuz I'm poor...)

Hi, I followed the guide pretty much word-for-word...with the exception of some TES5Edit instructions that had already been fixed by authors, and leaving out a few mods. Now in-game I get completely random CTDs. One I have found happens all the time. When I loot Jyrik Gauldurson in  Sarrthal for the College of WInterhold quest I get an instant CTD when I hover over the Writ of Sealing. I would assume this is a mesh or a naming error from a mod that might replace this item? This is my load order as sorted by Boss and Userlist: These mods I initially installed but decided against them: In-case this is of use, i enable Papyrus log to check for script errors: It may be the case that i've removed something without removing something else but everything (for the most part) seems to load and work fine. There are a few things as well though: 1) When running SUM, i get "Error gathering packages ....somthing can't remember the rest" referencing automatic variants 2) IG the favorites menu is still skyui, not categorized favorites menu. There are probably a few things that I have forgotten as there usuakly are, but I can add those if needs be or i remember. Thanks, Tim ####EDIT#### The issue with Jyrik Gauldurson Writ of Sealing is fixed! What I did was I opened TES5Edit, and selected all bethesda esms, all unofficial patch options and all book covers Skyrim options. (Unofficial are not actually needed..its just what i did) Ok so once everything had loaded, I navigated to book covers skyrim>books, and selected the "Writ of Sealing" entry that was relevant to Jyrik Gauldurson. Nothing was red so I assumed there was no problem, however in the column for Book Covers Skyrim I found a row that was different referencing the model: Note19.nif So I replaced this with the skyrim.esm entry. Loaded the game up, hovered over Writ of Sealing on Jyrik Gauldurson's body and it did not CTD! Just thought I would post this here in-case anyone else runs into this issue! #####EDIT 2##### Ok so i found that all books cause a crash when trying to view the mesh, so I would assume Book Covers Skyrim is having conflict issues with something. I uninstalled Book Covers Skyrim and all CTDs have been fixed (as far as I can tell so far) except for a few freezes on loading screens and when sprinting through open areas (which I would assume is textures)

Th Antifreeze patch is designed to make the whole game run smoother, with or without an ENB installed. I dont have an ENB installed and it has reduced stuttering by a lot for my game

OK so I've got a few problems: 1) I followed the step guide and didnt realise I needed SkyUI 3.2 to use coloured markers and was getting error 6. I fixed that by downgrading...I played for a bit and decided I wanted the favourites menu back. I upgraded back to 4.1 and removed the coloured map markers mod, but whenever I create a group it says group full and places nothing in the group. So I decided to try and reinstall, which leads me onto issue 2. 2)I saved my game, closed skyrim, and removed SkyUI from Mod Organizer by right clicking the mod in the install tab and choosing "Remove mod." I ran Boss, GenerateFNISforUsers, ASIS and Automatic Variants, and the ran the game via SKSE. I loaded the save and it said the usual message when you remove mods. It showed the loading screen and then just crashed to desktop. So i continued regardless and reinstalled SkyUI, and ran the same 4 things as last time. Then ran the game and it loaded the save, however the favourites menu now has no numbers on the groups, and I cannot create groups at all (no hotkey tooltips like usual) I've honestly no idea whats going on to be honest :/ Mod List: (I have a load of extra mods I have added, which work perfectly fine as far as I can tell, but I do get the occasional and random freeze, resulting in me needing to end process) (This is in REVERSE order) Load order: System Specs: Phenom II X4 975 16GB RAM (I do animation so it comes in handy) Asus GTX 550 Ti That's all that matters....I run my OS and my animations software off an SSD, but steam is installed on a separate drive, so there are on issues with UAC. Graphics Drivers are up to date for my card, and I have done GeForce Experience for SKyrim, which has put it to "Optimal" settings Skyrim Launcher Settings: AA = 4x AF = 8x Texture = Hi Redial = Med Shadow = Hi Decal = Hi Fades are set to around 50% for each I use Mod Organizer....if I forgot to say. Any help would be appreciated.

When you say loading installer to you perhaps mean MO is locked whilst installer is running? If so, check in the start bar for a new window...it may not always appear on top with external installers

I had the same issues with a similar mod setup (except I have lot more actually...just can't stop adding them :/) the 2 things I added which made the game run so much smoother were: 1) https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15123/?tab=1&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D15123%26preview%3D&pUp=1 2) The antifreeze patch here: https://www.enbdev.com/download_patch_skyrim.htm (You will have to add the d3d9.dll file it adds as a proxy in HiAlgoBoost.ini (instructions are on the HiAlgo page)to run both of them) HiAlgo boost does noticeably reduce resolution whilst moving, but it makes turning, and especially combat feel much smoother.

The error stacks that reference DuelPlayerProc.psc are relevant to Duel Combat Realism...you might be having a conflict with SkyRE on that. Can't help you with SIC_NightTrigger...i don't have the mod it is referencing...easy way to fin it is to open your Skyrim Directory, and search for SIC in the search bar. When it finds "SIC_NightTrigger.psc", check to see which folder it comes from (hopefully a mod folder...for me it is as I use Mod Organizer which doesnt put mods directly into the Skyrim/Data folder)

Ok thanks :) I'm going to finish this installation which I have done with much better sorting (I added prefixes for every download to say what section and number) so I will see how it goes!

So I'm doing my 3rd...no, 4th re-install of all the mods (just never seems to work quite right) and I was wondering why none of the mods im adding in the installed mods tab of MO are showing up in the ESPs tab or in the Skyrim/Data folder. I've had so many troubles so far...I always seem to break it. I'm going to try and straighten them out: 1)When adding the mods in MO, do I put them order they are in STEP from min to max in the installed tab? or in the ESPs tab?(Sometimes mods end up as different priority in there...or dont show up at all) 2)When adding patches or optional parts of mods...do I merge, replace or rename? (already had this one kind of answered...merged was suggested, but I just wanted to ask again) 3)When adding extra mods that I want installed, for example Climates of Tamriel OR RCRN; weapons mods, house mods etc; where do I put them in the installed tab? At the bottom? What about mods that are on the steam workshop (Town and Cities Enhancements for example)? Where can I find the files/what should I do? (They usually show up in the ESMs tab) 4)Having added the mods, I run Dual Sheath Redux patcher thingy which is fine...anything I need to do with that or is it just leave it alone? Also what about FNIS? Run the generate exe before or after Dual Sheath? 5)I have noticed some texture issues after adding some extra mods, even after removing them they were still present...basically purple trees, moose heads and skeletons. Any ideas? Thanks for your time and sorry for either stupid/noobish questions XD Tim

Ok thanks :D

These may seem like noobish questions or whatever but I'm puzzling over the Dual Sheath Redux installation (Section 2 D of the guide) The first part installs fine when I double click the download. When I install the next part of it (The elemental staffs addon) it asks me whether I want to Merge, Replace or Rename. Which one do I choose? Also, once I've installed the rest of these mods in the order of the list on the guide, is adding more mods that I want as simple as adding them to the bottom of the list? (Priority max, according to MO) For example, I really like the towns and villages enhancements mods so would I add them after everything else? or add them with the rest of the landscape & environment mods? I would like to have some extra lighting mods...maybe an ENB if I find one I like that isnt too much of a performance hit. Again, would I add these at th bottom of the MOD list? Or with the rest of the lighting mods? Thanks, Tim
