So some context: I was playing like I normally do, until I suddenly (for absolutely no rhyme or reason) experienced a Crash To Desktop when going through a door. Alright, just a random CTD as usual, nothing to worry about. Then: * I re-loaded the last save, tried walking through the door again. CTD. * Re-loaded, then tried to fast-travel anywhere random. CTD. * Re-loaded two saves ago, tried to fast-travel. CTD. * Disabled ALL my mods since I installed a new one earlier. Re-loaded. Fast travel. CTD. * Checked the integrity of app cache. Re-loaded. Fast travel. CTD. * Loaded 5 saves ago from 10 hours of play prior to the last save. Fast travel. CTD. Now here's where it got really weird: * Loaded a really early save. Fast travel. NO CTD?! * Loaded a mid-game save, maybe 30 hours ago out of 50 played. NO CTD. * Maybe problem fixed itself? Re-loaded newer save. CTD. I confirmed and re-confirmed a half-dozen times that only the last 20-30 hours of saves have somehow been affected. Has anyone experienced this before? I tried disabling every damn custom thing in the game, including not launching using SKSE and I still get CTD when loading an area after initially loading a save game. I deleted local content and am re-installing everything from scratch, just want to be sure I'm not wasting my time and should just start the entire game all over... that'd be a waste of over 90 hours of playing though. TL;DR: CTD when loading any area after initially loading any newer savegame, disabled all custom content and issue still occurs even with save games from as much as 20 hours ago.</p> UPDATE 1: Found out it's because I disabled SkyUI (I never started using it until half-way into the game). Unfortunately, the latest update of SkyUI crashes the game whenever I open the inventory. Seems I'm screwed either way.

This may be an unpopular idea for many due to the desire for "realism" and added difficulty, but I honestly love combat in Skyrim. The problem is at the higher levels, it goes by extremely fast! A few hits, and either you or your enemy is down for the count. I want encounters to be epic, but I don't want to have to consume a health potion as soon as the first spell is cast. I'd love for combat to last a few minutes instead of a few seconds. Has anyone experimented with various mods or difficulty settings to make combat last longer? I recently installed Dynamic Difficulty, but experimenting around with the settings hasn't made much difference. I assume I should lower the damage modifiers for min/max to fairly low values? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Bump.

So, I have looked pretty heavily into this. Here are the issue details: * Red triangles with white exclamation points do not appear when I re-start the game * When they do appear, it's always static. That is, if there's one in an inn, I might not see it after re-starting, but I will definitely see it in the exact same spot the next time I visit that area * They only appear in civilized indoor areas (taverns, shops), but never dungeons or outside I have tried the following fixes: * Re-install * Start new game from scratch At first, I thought it was a mod, but after looking through my list of mods, none of them would add an object inside, except for weapons/armor. As you can see from the example below, there would not be weapons or armor in the middle of a tavern floor.

I love skimpy outfits on girls as much as the next person, but is that all you people can model? I'm sick of paging through bare-skinned female models, I was hoping for some more imaginative content. I play lots of male characters, make some new armor or something. Ugh!
