ZachW2752 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Hey all, First off I am using a mac with a cider wrapper. No, I am not a pirate. Yes, I know Skyrim is not supported on mac. I am having ctds very randomly, usually very soon after load up, sometimes on sleep or wait. Beacause I am on mac, I cannot use BOSS. However, I think I have managed to create a sort of good load order based off of forum recommendations. Here it is: Skyrim.esm Update.esm Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Dawnguard.esm Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp Hearthfires.esm Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp Dragonborn.esm Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp Skyrim Project Optimization - Full Version.esm Falskaar.esm Wyrmstooth.esp ClimatesOfTamriel.esm Better Dynamic Snow.esp AdvancedKillMoves.esp Brawl Bugs CE.esp SMIM-FarmhouseFlickeringFix.esp SMIM-DragonbornTernFix.esp SMIM-ShackRoofFixes.esp SMIM-ShackRoofFixesDragonborn.esp SMIM-FurnitureChestSnowFix.esp SMIM-DungeonsCliffsIceSkirts.esp Immersive Patrols Merged All.esp PilgrimsDelight.esp Radiant and Unique Potions Poisons and Booze.esp Prometheus_BeastSkeletons.esp Skyrim Flora Overhaul.esp SFO - Dragonborn.esp Grass_On_Steroids_SFO.esp- Grassification_SFO.esp- WetandCold.esp Hvergelmir's Redesigned Housecarls - HRH.esp Cloaks.esp Cloaks - Dawnguard.esp Dragon Falls Manor.esp wood elf lodge.esp hobbithouse.esp elvenwood.esp GypsyEyesCaravan.V.2.esp Inconsequential NPCs.esp Headtracking.esp dD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp- dD-Dragonborn-Dawnguard-EBT Patch.esp- EnhancedLightsandFX.esp ELFXEnhancer.esp ELFX - Exteriors.esp ELFX - Moonpath.esp- ELFX - Dawnguard.esp ELFX - Dragonborn.esp randomthunder.esp DeadlySpellImpacts.esp DeadlySpellImpacts - Two Fire.esp Magelight Multi Cast.esp Beards.esp Brows.esp Book Covers Skyrim.esp 3DNPC.esp RealisticNeedsandDiseases.esp RND_Dawnguard-Patch.esp RND_HearthFires-Patch.esp RND_Dragonborn-Patch.esp FalskaarRNDHotfix.esp Inigo.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Interiors-Warm.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Nights-Level-2.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.esp Supreme Storms - Cot Version.esp Supreme Fog - CoT.esp Solstheim Climate Overhaul.esm Solstheim Climate Overhaul - COT compatibility.esp ShootingStars.esp GreenWaterFix_v2withDawnguard.esp dD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Medium.esp SkyFalls + SkyMills.esp WATER.esp WATER DG.esp WATER Falskaar.esp WATER Plants.esp WATER DB.esp WATER DB Waves.esp Improved Combat Sounds v2.2.esp More_Saddles.esp AMB Glass Variants Lore.esp aMidianborn_Skyforge_Weapons.esp Expanded Thalmor and Arcane Clothing.esp isilNarsil.esp DreamBurrowsRegalHuntsmanArmor.esp BosmerArmorMATY743.esp ArchmageTolfdir.esp GauldurAmuletBoost.esp skyrimaguas_Reforestation.esp WVExpansion.esp Hunting in Skyrim.esp Hunter's Mod.esp Hunter's Mod - Dawnguard.esp RealisticHumanoidMovementSpeed.esp BFT Ships and Carriages.esp tSSSSS.esp Conjuration & Summoning fixes.esp BetterDualCasting.esp BetterMageArmor.esp BetterMagic_FULL.esp BetterMasterSpells.esp BetterSpellFinishers.esp BetterSpellMastery.esp Apocalypse - The Spell Package.esp BFSEffects.esp Horsemen.esp SoS - The Dungeons.esp SoS - The Wilds.esp RealShelter.esp posesivecorpses.esp Skyrim Scaling Stopper.esp Skyrim Scaling Stopper - Misc Edits - Dawnguard.esp YES IT IS A LOT OF MODS. They all usually work, but ever since I installed amidianborn texs it keeps crashing. Funny, because I have had amidianborn before without crash. Plus they are just textures. I don't know all of my textures, but I have like, 20 that have overwritten those before. All 1k-4k textures. My computer is a 2012 MBP 8gb ram, intel hd graphics 4000. The interesting part is that if I remove all the mods it runs fine, or if I remove all the textures and meshes it runs fine. But for some reason, I cannot have both mods and the textures. I can also start with textures and gradually add mods, until I ctd, or start with mods and gradually add textures until I ctd. It sounds to me like Skyrim is running out of memory, but I can't see how that could be since I have 8 gigs. BTW, I have iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=4000000000 under papyrus. If anyone could help me that would be much appreciated.Thanks. [EDIT]I have no idea why the colors mean in the load list so ignore them.

theBreadThief Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Here are some steps you can take to help fix this. Because you are using a mac, and don't have boss, this process will be very slow and very difficult to fix. First of all, Try using tes5edit to clean your files. I'm not sure if that's supported by mac or not, but I would highly recommend using that because Deleted references are pretty much the main cause of a CTD. The next step I would take is to go to the mods url and look in the description of EACH ONE and make sure that none of the mods you have installed conflict with each other. I would also suggest looking at LOOT. I'm not sure if that works on mac, but that will automatically place your mods in the best load order about 85% of the time. It will also give you a log of what mods need cleaned and what mods you have installed that require something else you don't have. If you can't get loot, then I don't really know what to tell you :/ Mac is so strict and limited on what is allowed on their software it's just a pain in the ass. Best you can do is just keep looking at tutorials and the descriptions of each file on the Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, glad to see we're using a lot of the same mods :tongue: I'm on almost exactly the same system you are, specs and everything. I run between 30 and 50 mods. I can get away with 100+ mods on Oblivion, but I will get CTD's as soon as I get to around 75 mods on Skyrim. It's going to take you hours to find the conflict on a Mac... and it might not even be a specific conflict. Figure out how many of these mods add scripts or require simultaneous script functions. CTD's on my iMac, when they're not caused by conflicts, are caused by script overload. So I would either give up on using this many mods, or transfer your data folder over to a PC and run TES5Edit to check everything out... then WB to make a patch if possible, then transfer all of it back over to your iMac and write the new bashed patch into plugins.txt. If you don't have a PC then I think you might be hopeless with this many mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
