Oh no no, if it sounded like I was bashing SMIM, I apologize. Far from it, SMIM is a great mod, and it's pretty much a staple. That's why I'm surprised that it seems to be, if nothing else, one of the main contributing factors. But as I said in my post to them, I'm sure it's some sort of compatibility issue, I just can't for the life of me figure out what. The other mods that I thought might conflict with SMIM I tried disabling, and that didn't fix it either. That's why I posted the mod list and crash report though, so someone could maybe help me make heads or tails of what was causing the CTDs. If it were just SMIM, I'm sure LOTS of people would have reported it by now, and it'd probably be fixed. But I don't know what the interaction is that was causing it either. I don't think it's lag or running out of processing power though, as one of your paragraphs seem to suggest. Because nothing was lagging at all. On the contrary, the game was running as smooth as butter, far smoother than it ever did when modding the old version. It was just also crashing.

Update: For reasons I can't begin to fathom, SMIM was the offending mod. After turning it off, the quest went on without a hitch. I posted about this on their mod page, hopefully they'll see it.

So, I'm having a problem during the scene where Ralof (in the case of my file anyway, I haven't tested it with Hadvar) is about to cut the binds off your hands. It CTDs during that scene every time. Interestingly, it's not always at the EXACT same time. Sometimes it's during other piece of dialogue, sometimes it's when I walk up to him to get it done, the exact timing seems to vary (which makes it difficult to pin down what's causing it). I tried looking at the crash reports myself, but they don't even seem to be consistent with each other as far as I can tell. Not to mention that they usually end with the completion of a successful check of a mod. Perhaps someone here can help me. I'll post my most recent crash report and my mod list below. Mod List Crash Report If there's any other information that can help, let me know. I don't want to take the time to generate my PC specs, but it's not lagging at all, it's just a sudden CTD. Besides that, my rig ought to be fine to handle this load. Let me know if you can help, thanks!
