Right click to disable/hide, and repeat the play sequence you describe that seems to be reproducible. I would disable first half, test, then second half, test, and so on. After you hide a file, be sure to click 'refresh' at the top of the data tab to see some other mod doesn't also provide the same-named DLL. They should be unique, but it's a possibility that I haven't investigated. There may also be DLLs directly under SKSE\ (Pandora). This is the full list of DLL files I have in the SKSE\Plugins folder. SKSE Plugins DLL Files.txt No DLL files in SKSE. I'm currently using Nemesis, not Pandora. I tested Pandora to see if the CTDs still occurred. They did, so I went back to Nemesis.

I noticed that my followers don't spawn in behind me immediately after loading a save with DynDOLOD.dll hidden. They do immediately spawn in behind me with DynDOLOD.DLL unhidden. crash-2025-06-08-14-15-29.log DynDOLOD.log skse64.log Papyrus.0.log While this time no call stack was recorded, it still is the same CTD as before. You can see a list of all SKSE DLL plugins in the crash log under SKSE PLUGINS. Something that could be related and easy enough to disable is stuff like ScriptEffectArchetypeCrashFix.dll or FootPrints.esp. Keep in mind though, while I can interpret the crash log information having probably to do effects and the virtual machine (script functions which can also be called by DLLs) I have really not much knowledge which mods to really look at in the load order.

As I mentioned, I recommend disabling first half, test (using the same save and actions you took to generate the reproducible CTD), then second half, test. Continue testing by keeping enabled the half that did not produce the CTD, but then enable half again of the half that DID produce the CTD. Keep doing this with the now one quarter of DLLs disabled, then half of that (1/8), and half again (1/16) ...until you wind up with the one or two DLLs that seem to be the culprit(s). If sheson's suspicions are accurate, and you are able to narrow it down to one or two DLLs that seem to correlate with your CTDs, I can jump in to try to reproduce to rule out any OS or driver-related issues with said DLLs or otherwise related mods/assets.

So just hide the DLL files or should I disable the mods that the DLL files are from? Hiding half the DLL files causes the game to crash while loading a save. I unhid a few DLL files such as PapyrusUtil, ScaleTranslationPP, SSEDisplayTweaks and UniqueMapWeather and now it loads the save. CTD when my followers spawned into the landscape with the following DLL files hidden.

Hiding certain DLLs will cause CTD/ILS due to dependencies (e.g., skse64.dll should not be hidden ever). I was just providing a rundown of the iterative 'binary' algorithm via deduction based on whether or not you CTD doing the specific actions that you have found to be reproducible. If you CTD with those DLLs hidden, then they should be unhidden whilst hiding (or disabling the source mods of) the remainder. You are simply trying to find one or more DLLs that could be related to your CTDs. If you do not CTD with a subset NOT disabled, then those are 'good' and should be left enabled in your next test. In this way, you can narrow down the problematic DLL(s) in about 6 tests (if it is indeed related to a DLL, which is just our working assumption for now).

The last crash log with "Teldryn Sero" is different to the ones with the "Steadfast Dwarven Sphere". That one is again about animations. It could be two different types of crashes. It could be same issue just looking different in what it affects. Effects, animations and related mods etc. are not my expertise.
