Windhelm Bridge CTD

[Despotus]

I'm currently having problems with a CTD on the Windhelm bridge and the surrounding area. I first noticed it on an old playthrough in which I would CTD when I tried to leave Solstheim and return to Skyrim. I had been wanting to start a new character anyway, so I attributed it to the mods that I had installed and later uninstalled while playing on that save file and simply made a new save.

 

On this new save I ran into no problems upon initially starting the game so I assumed the bug was taken care of, but upon again attempting to travel to the Windhelm after several hours of gameplay, I ran into the same bug. I try to play the game with no fast travel, so this bug not only affects my ability to leave Solstheim, but to easily reach Windhelm in general without reactivating fast traveling in Frostfall. After briefly looking at my debug logs (while admittedly having no idea how to read them), it seemed that a script associated with the Crimson Tide blood mod was associated, so I looked for a fix on the mod page. One user reported reverting to version 1.5 from 2.2 and fixing a similar problem, and upon trying this fix, it indeed helped, but I hated the look of the 1.5 blood, so I opted to switch to Enhanced Blood Textures. The CTD appeared again, I assumed due to remaining scripts from Crimson Tide, so I just opted to do a clean reinstall of skyrim and reinstall many of the mods that I have had no issues with in the past. I started a new save and assumed the problems were gone.

 

On this new save, just to be safe, I have traveled to Windhelm after every quest that I complete just to make sure the bug didn't reoccur. Thus far, the only quests I have completed have been Companions quests up until the quest from Kodlak and I have killed the Worshippers of Boethiah to start that quest, and the bug has once again resurfaced. I have tried removing many different mods individually that I had thought would be associated with the cells around Windhelm and none have fixed the issue. As best I can tell, the CTD only occurs when fast traveling, riding a carriage, or riding a boat to directly outside of that area because I was able to walk up to the area after fast traveling to the shrine of Boethiah. I also can't very well start a new file and travel to Windhelm to see if the bug reoccurs and add mods back individually as it clearly doesn't even occur on a new file when the mods are already installed.

Non-esp mods:

  • Elyss Community Uncapper
  • RealVision ENB Performance Version
  • ENB Particle Patch
  • A Quality World Map with Roads
  • Several XCE mods and improved facemaps

All mods have been cleaned through TES5EDIT and other than this specific problem, I don't typically get many random CTD unless I have played for several hours straight, and even then they seem fairly uncommon. All my current debug logs are a minute or so long, as I have recently been trying to get the game to work by disabling individual mods. If this isn't enough information to help diagnose the issue, I can post some new debug logs later. If anyone can spot and problems with load order or have any insight into possible mod incompatibilities that I have have missed, that would be wonderful.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

EDIT: Only ini edits I have made have been the ones associated with RealVision ENB to make the ENB function properly.
