broken intro sequence.

[Giuliano123]

I am experiencing a very strange issue when I start a new game. Basically, I start the game outside of the carriage along with everyone else who is supposed to be in there with me. Nothing moves, everyone just stands still but I can still hear the horses moving.

 

This is my load order.

 

I installed Civil War Overhaul after I started a new game. When this weird intro sequence started I decided to deactivate it but it didn't fix anything. I turned off all the mod plugins and it managed to fix it so I'm guessing there is some conflict with the mods.

Thanks for the reply.

 

 

 

I tried that but it didnt work. I had to go through all the mods until I managed to narrow it down to Helgen Reborn. Turns out you should only activate it after you've left Helgen.

Helgen is heavily scripted - some mods can cause wacky problems. I recommend NOT installing any mods until after exiting the cave at the end of the Helen sequence. You really have almost no options besides which of 2 NPCs you follow so any mods will not help and can only cause problems. I don't think any mods that change your character's appearance will cause the problems as they usually don't have any scripts.

 

Then, as soon as you do exit the cave - before adding any mods, make a permanent save - Then add your mods and make a second permanent save - these will come in handy for troubleshooting later.

you should read about mods you install... likely caused by having helgen reborn active during the intro scene.

I had this problem, removing Helgan Reborn fixed the issue.

 

Yes, I realize this is an old thread, but it may help someone else.

I'll reinstall that mod once the intro is over.

If I recall correctly that mod's own description explicitly states to not install it before going through the intro sequence.
