Starting a new topic since using the search always gets me into the new vegas forums. So my problem is this. In New Vegas, when I wanted to load a game, I had to start a new game first (kinda like to initialize the engine) and then load my savegame. Loading my savegame directly resulted in game freezing during loading screen. As of this morning I experience the very same issue in skyrim. After 25 hours playing that one character. The game crashes ust the second the loading screen would disappear (guess based on the time passed), it just freezes. I did install Realistic Needs, which I also uninstalled again, loaded up a old savegame, saved anew, but not fixing it. Right now, if i load an old game, then load my most recent one (with or with out realistic needs mod) works. If I start the game and load my most recent save game right away, it freezes. I guess this is not related to the realistic needs mod in particular, so I post this here. As mentioned above, I played this character with this fixed set of mods for more than 20 hours now without problems. I'm not sure if this is because I installed Realistic Needs or if it is a coincidence. As said. the problem persists even after I uninstall the mod and load a savegame made previous to first installing the mod. Hope you guys can help me.
