Crashing after Bethesda logo

[bartprim]

Nexus forum,

 

I am new to modding Skyrim and new to Nexus and it's NMM. I watched all the videos by Gopher to get an understanding of how they all flow through and downloaded my mods manually, checking that they were structured correctly, and then added them to NMM, via Gopher's instructions.

 

The most important thing about these mods to me was that they added more into the game, be that by better battles, armor and weapons, quests etc.

 

I am having a problem though. I have all the current versions of my mods, all the data files turned on, the latest version of Skyrim (runtime 1.9.32.0) etc but the game just crashes after the Bethesda logo. PLEASE HELP!

 

I cannot figure out what to do! Without the mods, the game works. But with the mods, it crashes. Can someone please have a look at my mods and load order (configured by NMM) and give me some tips. My mods and load order are as follows:

 

GameMode=Skyrim

Skyrim.esm=1

Update.esm=1

Dragonborn.esm=1

Did you run BOSS? Does it gives any errors / recommendations / etc?

 

Did you run Tes5Edit? Does it stops at a certain point before finishing?

 

I'm betting it does: "Immersive Dawnguard.esp" is likely dependent upon the Dawnguard DLC, which you do not have. Deactivate the plugin and see if you can start Skyrim.

 

 

Edit: Welcome to the Nexus btw! :thumbsup:

Thanks BlackRampage. I noticed that after I had posted this. I have the Dawnguard DLC but I had forgotten to check it. It was still crashing after I had fixed it. I ran BOSS and TES5Edit and found that the problem was with the improved blood mod I had installed. I had the load order backwards, with the patch before the core. BOSS sorted that out for me and I thought I was all good! It didn't crash but whenever I created a game I would be stuck outside of the caravan in the intro. I assumed it was because Helgen Reborn was interfering so I disabled that and it worked fine!

 

I am not sure if WARZONES is actually working yet, because I did not progress to the start of the civil war, but there weren't any battles before this point. Is that normal? Does anyone know? Guess I'll need to play to find out!

 

Also, while we are on the topic of errors, I used a trainer to activate all skills so I could test out the smithing mods (which are working and look great! Thanks authors!). After resetting my level and skills back to their beginning values (except for smithing) my character no longer levels up... Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way around this or do I need to just suck it up and progress smithing normally and not run around with Lich King armor at the beginning?

[BlackRampage]

I'd recommend simply starting a new game. While you can of course level smithing normally I personally find it's just a little too much like grinding (and not being able to play around with armor mods that require higher level smithing is quite annoying too).

 

I therefore usually have a .txt file in my main Skyrim directory which contains the following:

 

 

 

player.setav smithing 100
player.addperk 000CB40D
player.addperk 0005218E
player.addperk 000CB40F
player.addperk 000CB414
player.addperk 000CB411
player.addperk 000CB40E
player.addperk 000CB410
player.addperk 000CB412
player.addperk 000CB413
player.addperk 00052190

 

 

 

Copy the above to a .txt file, give it some appropriate name and save it to your main Skyrim directory. Then, when you're ingame, open the console and type "bat <insert name of the file here>"

 

That's all. Have fun.

That's really helpful! Thanks!

As said before use BOSS also if you are using ASIS or any other SkyProc Patcher you need to update that before you can run the game

 

If you don't know what those are or not sure you have them go to Data and look for Skyproc Patcher if it's not there you are good.

 

Since you seem new to mods here's a tip

-DO NOT USE Warzones no matter how much you want it, just NO!
