Skyrim is crashing to the desktop and I don't know what to do!

[BradtheMighty]

There is a bug in my intro sequence so my carriage rattles violently into Helgen, sometimes so strangely that the horse dies or I end up in a different part of Helgen by the end, clipping through a wall or something (I put this in only because I feel like it might be pertinent, not because it is the direct cause of the crashes.) If I make it to character customization, I am aways able to make it through the intro-mission as well. I can travel in the forest all I want after, hunting deer or rabbits or people as I please, outfitting myself, experiencing some of my awesome mods. But bar none, when I get near a population center of any size, be it a major walled city or little village, anything short of a cottage in the middle of the woods, I crash to the desktop without a warning or notification or sound of any kind.

 

I have tried many experiments: Starting a new game (many times), using introduction replacers like LAL, uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and all mods, even going through each mod individually and testing loading near a population center to see if it will work. The only thing that consistently keeps me from crashing is if I have no mods installed (not activated, installed, It still crashes if they're just deactivated.) I tried learning Papyrus script a bit to understand what the logs were telling me, but it was miles and miles of information. At this point, I don't mind losing my Game info if I can just make it to the Riften gates without a crash for once.

 

Here are the specs for my Computer (laptop):

 

Model: Acer Aspire E5-573G

Processor: intel Core i5-5200 CPU @2.20 Ghz

Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB

System Type: 64 bit Operating System, x64-based processor

 

Game is stored in normal steam location (that is to say C:/program files(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/skyrim)

It is the current, fully updated version of the game, as of 9/13/2016, with all available official DLCs installed

I use NMM to install my mods and LOOT to organize my load order. I don't know how to check on my installation of SKSE, but it was within the last year I believe, so I suspect it's up to date.

SKSE you can check by opening the console (for me it's the` key) and typing getskseversion. (Yes all as one word like that.) It'll tell you what SKSE version you have loaded in.

NOTE if this is Not Your First Attempt At Modding Skyrim My Above Post Is Still Valid

Go back to Basic School

Learn about Loader Merger Patchs, Bashed Pash, (both are Missing in load order) & using TES5Edit All Required Skills for Modding Skyrim else you will just Crash & Burn Continuously........

[BradtheMighty]

Thank you for the advice and the tips PeterMartyr!! Do you suggest i uninstall all of my mods before watching the intro to Skyrim modding videos, as it seems he'll be going mod by mod from scratch? I was thinking about doing it anyway, just so i have a baseline for all of this stuff and its been crashing for so long, from so many little things that i feel like it might be nessisary.

[bill8872]

It is also recommended that when you start a new game to have only character creation mods active.

The beginning is so heavily scripted that any number of mods can mess with it.

After you leave Helgan then it is fine to activate all you mods.

[BradtheMighty]

thank you so much, this has solved so much in my game
