RevolverCC Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I put together this comprehensive guide for building a stable Skyrim experience. I'm hoping to cover an extensive series of settings that are essential to create the most stable modded Skyrim experience possible. I will need as much feedback as possible to fill in the gaps of (what very little) knowledge I have so far. So please use the thread below to do so. What Causes CTDs And Instability?A lot of things. Therefore it is impossible to solve every single one of them with a "catch all" guide. The purpose of this guide is educate modders to have the fundamental knowledge for building their own Stable experience. Therefore you will need to put in the leg work to make sure you are not skipping essential tasks for stabilizing your build (memory tweaks, patches, etc...).
