Be honest guys. Is my game totally screwed?

[nagrom2608]

Hi all.

 

Okay this is a last ditch effort to get this blasted game working.

 

I'm currently, or should I say, WAS currently enjoying the best play through I've ever had in Skyrim. Up to level 44. The highest I've achieved so far. Maxed out all my core skills. Completed the main quest, Winterhold, and Dragonborn, and Dawnguard, and I've invested hours of gameplay.

 

Now after messing with my mods, and TRYING to get Rudy ENB working, and the game looking like the one in Sinitar's 2017 next gen guide, I've officially killed it.... :sad:

I've had no end of problems getting the grass to work. One minute it does, then it doesn't. Though to the best of my knowledge, the settings never changed. One major issue I had was when I tried to install DynDOLOD. I installed the mod fine, but I'm guessing the way MO uses a virtual data folder, the actual DynDOLOD application, couldn't see it. I don't know if this caused some issues?

 

The vast majority of the changes I made where graphical enhancements. So I'm baffled as to why my game has become so unstable.

 

I have the following MAJOR issues: -

 

1. For some reason, though I followed Gophers guide to MO profiles. By copying the saves from my save folder, to the profiles folder within MO. The game ONLY overwrites the existing saves. Without creating new ones. I do have a number of older saves backed up. However these are back when I was level 19.

This has now made the game unplayable as both the quicksave, and autosave files now fail to load. I do have another save from level 41, but this is the one that has all the CTD's. Even though it DOES load.

 

The strange thing is my son has his own profile, and that saves just fine. He has multiple saves. Where I just have save 3, 4, 5, and 6, the level 41 one. Then the auto, and quick saves.

 

2. I get CTD when I fast travel, Unsheath my weapon, (Seemed to crash when the sheeth sound plays). When I'm just walking about. Also at other very random times.

 

Given the fact that neither of the auto, or quick saves now load. Coupled with the constant CTD's I get with the level 41 save. Is it safe to assume that my game is now beyond repair?

 

If it helps anyone sort this mess out. Or point me in the right direction, here is my mod list. Skyrim.ini, and Skyrimprefs.ini files.

I'm at my wits end now, and to be honest, absolutely gutted, that my game was running so smoothly, and is now totally borked.

 

Any help, tips, or advice would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Did you add mods part way through this play through? Can you roll back to an earlier save? Its better to loose 20 levels and repeat stuff if you can load an old save than to right off a level 41 save. I've been going around in this same cycle for years and I'm sure we are not alone. Can you create a new character? Is a new character stable? Quick glance you have campfire loading after Frostfall. Campfire is a master file for Frostfall and thus Frostfall should be loading after it. Anywhere really but never before it. Try Tes5 edit see if it can load current load order as it stands now. But from a cursory glance it seems to be campfire/frostfall load order issue. LOOT does a great job but its never perfect.

 

Hope it works and good luck

[nagrom2608]

I'll change the order of Campfire, and Frostfall. Though I've had these installed for months with no real issues. As I stated, due to the weird saving bug, I've not got any real saves to fall back on. Only one back from L41. This is the one that keeps CTDing for no explicable reason.

 

I've not cleaned my mods yet, as I've ONLY just figured out how to run Loot, and TES5Edit from MO. That's my next job. The modlist loads fine in TES5Edit. Or at least seems to.

 

Also I've not got around to starting a new character. REALLY don't want to start again from scratch.

 

EDIT

 

Okay so I've just tried to start a new game, and well.......I cant. Crashes to desktop as soon as the loading screen closes. Not good I'm guessing.

Edited January 10, 2018 by nagrom2608

[Pippboss]

TES5Edit will tell you if something is icky with a load orders Its my go too when I 1st encounter something usually because loot doesn't pick up everything. You could try a save cleaner utility from here in downloads section I've used them before an they pick out any orphan scripts killing your save It then allows you to clean them. Its not always perfect but it can get you back in the game to allow you to make a cleaner save. If you run a save cleaner, make getting inside some small. Barn, house, cottage anything or anywhere with nothing much happening then save. Then exit the game and re load it.Make that save (providing it now works) as a main testing point from here on in with this character.

I've linked to the one I tried a year or so ago, It seemed to work well. You'll probably have to direct the utility to your MO saved profile when setting it up an might need to show MO where the tool's exe file is located. Make a backup of the 'dead' save before you try this just in case.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31724

My advice to you would be to make a new test character with Frostfall lower down in priority. Set time scale to 1000. Spawn some bad guys Player.placeatme and stress the game out in the open with all mods activated. All MCM's configured and all weather systems running. Test things are working then worry about cleaning the save.

 

1 make new toon.

2 head to riverwood.

3 open console ` <tilde key

4 type TGM ( that will turn on god mode)

5 exit console `

6 setup all mcm's get everything as close as you can remember to your play through setting's

7 open console type help bandit or dragur or what ever you fancy testing it with. I use bandits

8 After typing help it will list all the bandits ect in a long list. You can scroll up down with pageup/down keys

9 type player.placeat me a number and add a number afterwards I usually try 10, 20, 30 ect don't go too high you'll force the game to crash. Then kill em. That will stress the game somewhat.

Do you have SKSE setup and installed directly into the game's files or did you add the scripts folder via MO per Gopher's tutorial?

Do you have memory blocks setup? Again you can find a tutorial on Gopher's YouTube channel

Are you using an ENB?

Is the ENB setup correctly?

Is your ENBlocal.Ini configured and tuned to your PC?

Are you using a save manager?

 

This explains memory blocks. Not sure if you watched it or not.

 

A lot to do, research and test. Never forget you can keep this profile in MO and the save untouched, while you test and try track down any issues. The profile your game is on is isolated. Another thing to remember is you haven't killed the vanilla game for the same reason.

 

Again Good luck and don't be afraid to test things out. Its all a learning process.

Edited January 10, 2018 by Pippboss

[nagrom2608]

Thanks for all that.

 

As far as I know SKSE is set up correctly. The folder was installed directly in the skyrim main folder. I used to use Nexus MM, and it was installed then. Also as far as know,, ENB, along with enblocal is all set up correctly. Though it was when I started messing with enb's I seemed to encounter these problems.

 

I've looked at save cleaner's before, but never trusted them. I'll give that one a go. I'm pretty sure that the memory blocks issue is set up correctly. Though I don't think I've watched that specific video. I'll check it out.

 

Thanks again for all that info.

[nagrom2608]

Right. So far it's not looking good.

 

I've used the save cleaner, and cleaned the mods picked up in LOOT, via TES5Edit. The results are as follows: -

 

- I STILL can't load the original L44 saves that were causing the problems to start with. As I couldn't load these two saves in the first place, I wasn't able to clean these.

- The L41 save I COULD load crashes almost straight away. I managed to fasttravel to a location, but as soon as I started moving. It crashed

- I STILL can't start a new game. Either vanilla, or through Unbound. As a result, I'm unable to stress test as suggested.

 

As far as the memory patch goes. I was under the impression that the latest, and final version of SKSE included this. Also to answer your last question, I'm not using a save manager.

 

I Do REALLY think my game is screwed........

 

Thanks again for your advice.

Edited January 11, 2018 by nagrom2608

[nagrom2608]

Next step I think will be to switch off the mods. Then see if I can't start a new game. There are a few that I've used for years. With no issue. Chances are it's one of the later ones I've installed. That's been causing all these issues.

[Pippboss]

Nah the game isn't screwed you are using MO after all :smile: Worse it can ever be right now is a bad SKSE and or ENB install or incorrectly setup ENBlocal.ini.

Uninstalling all mods is just a click it writes nothing into the game folders and is why MO is preferred tool for skyrim. How ever you may have remnants of old mods from NMM.

Download this https://rd.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69787 Will allow you to setup the ini files for an enb its also a damn useful tool. The video at the bottom is for Skyrim special edition using MO 2 but same applies here. Just need to direct Bethini to where your ini file resides in MO. This is one of them occasions where you don't install a tool and run it through Mod organiser you point the tool to where the INI's live.

Setting up the enblocal.ini will require some research. I'd start with STEP Wiki here. http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBlocal_INI This needs to be setup manually I don't believe a tool was ever written to automatically set it up with 100% accuracy.

Also while your on Cal's YouTube channel do a search for his 2016 series on modding Skyrim. Its a great resource and in my opinion a must watch for anybody wishing to get serious about modding Skyrim.

 

Good luck

True. I do like the way MO creates a virtual data folder. Instead of writing directly to the skyrim/data folder.

 

I'll hear a look at Bethini. Looks a very handy tool.

 

Cheers for the links again.

Much appreciated.

Worse case you loose a lvl 44 save. But trying some stuff out might save the game an make it play smooth and reliable. Takes me a week to 'fix' up a load order including all the testing I deem needed some of which is actual play time to try break things. If I cant break it I can play the game an its great. Well worth the effort. Only then will I commit to a 'serious' play through. I still haven't finished the game either lol
