Skyrim Menu Options Not Available

[RelentlessGrit]

I don't know if this belongs in general tech support or mod troubleshooting, but we'll figure it out as we go.

 

The main issue: Skyrim boots just fine, bethesda logo, then main menu. However, at the main menu, background music does not start and menu options are completely unavailable (Invisible and cannot select even with "enter" key)! The game doesn't freeze, I can still bring up the ENB settings and adjust them, but I cannot bring up the console. Also, when I bring up my task manager, skyrim shows "Running" and takes about 270k memory.

 

It was running fine a month ago (Haven't played) decided to play and ENB had an update. So, I installed the new ENB and some new mods...Problem ensues. I use SKSE of course and I just have the default ENB (I've tried default settings and trying to tweak it). When I updated ENB (to V. 0.243), I also installed:

• Interesting NPCs (V. 3.03)
• High Quality 3D Map (V. 2.0)
• A Quality World Map (v. 8.0)
• Lamp Follower (V. 2.0)

I updated:

• Immersive College of Winterhold to V. 2.0
• minor cosmetic/model mods

Major mods I had installed already:

• Dual Sheath Redux
• FNIS
• SkyUI
• RaceMenu
• All Unofficial Patches

Those are the major ones I think could effect it as well, but frankly, I got a lot of mods (240 in my load order)! BOSS Log:

Like I mentioned though, it worked before I did the updating. I've run BOSS, SkyProc Patcher, FNIS Generator, and TES5 Edit, none of which came up with any major errors (ran as before).

 

Any help would be appreciated :thumbsup: before I go tearing through my load order, and starting a whole new game :sweat:

 

!PROBLEM SOLVED!

 

After some more troubleshooting, I got it to work by -of course- going back through my mods one at a time.

 

The problem mod was *drum roll*

 

Immersive College of Winterhold!

 

The thing is, when I updated to the new version (which has all patches built into a NMM Installer) I did not remove the individual patches first. Strange, I know, that this would be the cause of the menu not loading, but low and behold!

 

Happy New Year Everyone! And merry gaming :D
