Skyrim Crashing, 1st time back in skyrim in 5 years plz help NO JOKE

[ChefCayman]

So I used to be a heavy mod user in the Oldrim days, so modding isn't new for me...but this new way (Vortex&MO) is a little confusing. I bought but never played Skyrim SE, when it came out I continued with Oldrim because I didn't want to delete and redownload mods. I followed Gamerpoet's recent videos of installing SKSE (Vortex) and SkyUi (thru Vortex is pretty much a one-click straight from site 2 Vortex Launcher) . I launch SkyrimSE through SKSE on the Vortex Launcher as Mr.Gamerpoet instructed and Skyrim keeps crashing, I don't know why. I used "Live another life" to start out in the open world in a orcish stronghold. I then traveled to Markarth to take a carriage to Solitude, it crashed. I then tried to go to whiterun and it crashed again.

I have some mods installed but not enabled on Vortex as seen on link above.

I enabled the mods that im sure wont interfere with each other, i.e. followers, armors, textures, 1 quests addon mod, immersion mods, Whiterun, Hroldan and Karthwasten overhaul mods.

As you can see from the last 2 pictures, I have several city/village overhaul mods disbled. All from either Soldierofwar or JK(jkrojmal). I'm plannig on enabling one at a time to see which overhaul mod I prefer....but I won't enable them if the game keeps crashing on me while im trying to see this new Whiterun, Hroldan and Karthwasten version first.

What am I doing wrong? What did I miss? PPLLEEASSEE HELPPP!!!!! I really want to return to skyrim a bit before I go back to work.

Hi,

I see you haven't downloaded and used LOOT, that's very important whenever you want to mod Skyrim even if you have a very few mods, it helps you to sort esp to avoid CTD.
Also, it looks like your using FNIS (1st screenshot) but I don't see it in your modlist. Don't know if it's gonna solve your issue but that's pretty weird : /

Also if your very patient and this didn't solve your problems try disabling your mods one by one if no other solution is found.
Advice: If you're only crashing near cities, it has to be because of mods that change cities.

^ This guys knows what's up. Load order matters; use LOOT to sort it! If you have FNIS installed, you MUST run the tool in Data\tools every time you install or uninstall an FNIS related mod. These are the basics.

 

Another thing, this may or may not be obvious, but I'll say it since you are returning after a while. Oldrim mods don't necessarily work out of the box with Skyrim SE. If you are using Oldrim mods in your SE build, this could be part of your troubles.
