Yet another Mod order list..... plz help

[ghaine]

Hi all,

 

Yes, yes, I know how very tired we all are of another person throwing up a giant list of his/her mods and asking for help in finding why I am CTD after running around in-game for awhile.

We all want what we can't have and that is a dreamscape skyrim without flaw, but then again we're living in reality right?

 

First off, here are the facts:

 

1) I'm using the famous S.T.E.P. Project for skyrim following all its mods except for 2 simple hd texture mods, Telvanni Reborn, and HD guards.

 

2) I didn't like the climates of tamriel and the vividian enb, so i replaced them with the oh sooooo mouth watering NLA enb, and yes I configured the other mods like vivid clouds to recognize NLA (what do you think I am, a newbie? Well I am! ... sort of).

 

3) Using MO, LOOT, SKSE, etc, etc.

 

4) I'm using Shesons memory patch, which helps do wonders, but unfortunately the modding world of skyrim is equivalant to the realm of sheogorath, making it utterly unpredictable and unstable.... sort of like the nuclear reactors in chernobyl.

 

5) Yes I'm one of those modders who can't live with out a few extra mods (sheesh)! However, I've managed to limit it down to just a handful of mods so as to keep as much compatibility as possible. The extra mods will be listed further down.

 

6) All my ini's are pristine and the only changes i've done are those in the step wiki and shesons guide.

 

7) I'm using a clean Skyrim data folder, etc. Idk if they could have gotten corrupted from turning mods on and off repeatedly to test mods, etc.

 

Ok, here it is.. the gigantic terrible intimidating list! BEHOLD IT IS OVER 9000! actually it's around 220 mods.

A FEW NOTES!

1) Yes I know I need to do the dual sheath redux patch and asis patch, the dyndolod 40min bull $%!#, pretty much all the stuff at the end of the step guide.

2) Yes I dropped a few texture mods in favor of something else.

 

My questions, which hopefully some skyrim modding guru out there can answer, are as follows:

 

1) What's the magic word to make skyrim do whatever I want? jk, for reals this time.

 

2) I've done so much optimizing, performance tracking, patching, etc. yet skyrim seems really unstable. I do this test where I start off in windhelm then travel around skyrim to different locations via fast travel, wait for a few hours, then travel around again, sometimes I'll walk around and try to force a ctd, which usually happens. Why?

 

3) I believe these are the reasons why I might be getting ctds, infinite loading screens, and freezing.

• I am hitting the 3.1 gb skyrim engine limit. Kinda strange tho since I'm only adding a few extra mods on top of the STEP project? Isn't the STEP project supposed to be more stable than this? Along with the ENB and shesons memory patch, I kind of think I have at least a little room left to wiggle my toes.
• The SR Conflict resolution esp added at the end of the list provided by step is missing some masters etc perhaps? Because I did take off a few mods the guide intended to be there.
• Mod conflicts? If so I'm really hoping someone out there can point it out or perhaps even the right load order etc.
• Perhaps something like one of my location mods is corrupting the DYNDLOD?
• Wipe clean and start fresh? Maybe sheogorath logged on to my pc one day while I was away and FOOKED up my skyrim folder?... bastard. (as much as I dread to dedicate the hundreds of hours to do this all over again I'm still willing to do so)

4) My screen resolution is 2560x1440 and the draw distance for everything is maxed, but it barely puts a dent in my memory and cpu usage. Maybe fine tuning these will help.. sort of... maybe?

1) PC Specs are: OS Windows 8.1 64 bit
