I have a significant problem with Skyrim. In the Rift, it will crash with less than a minute of play and after about 2-5 minutes around Windhelm. My Skyrim is reaching the memory cap of 4gb and, of course, crashing. I would assume this would be a graphics mod problem, but my previous computer, which was worse, ran the same setup just as well (FPS-wise) without crashes. I know, also, that removing graphics mods helps, but as I said, my worse rig ran it better, and I don't know why. If I really have to remove the mods I will, but I hate to do so. Current Setup AMD FX-4170 4.2GHz stock clock Gigabyte HD 7950 3GB VRAM 16GB RAM

I have quite a few graphical mods installed, and I don't know for sure what's causing my problem, but when using Predator Vision, my screen flickers cyan and then returns to normal, or, if I'm unlucky, stays cyan, and won't return to normal, even if I turn off Night vision. It seems to happen in a certain light, because it has also happened when standing next to nirnroot or looking at certain parts of the sky. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It fixes itself when I remove my ENB, but it's never done this before, so I don't know what could be causing it to mess with the ENB in the first place. EDIT: I tried a different ENB, and when it hits a certain color/contrast/saturation, it not turns bright, neon green. I still have no clue what's happening. It does it permanently with the Predator vision, but when I activate teh Dance of Death, when you exit the menu Skyrim becomes very bright and saturated, and now it turns green. Please help.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.

I don't know if Steam has failed me or I was misinformed, but that has not fixed my problem.

I recently came back to Skyrim, loaded up a few new mods (none of which affected models except the FNIS update), and started playing. Unfortunately, now everyone in the game is stuck in the default position. ramrod straight, arms slightly away from the sides, etc. I can move, attack, jump, and cast spells, but no animation plays. I'm sure this is a relatively easy fix, as I've had something similar happen, but it wasn't quite so severe, and all of my animation modifications are up to date. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was told it was because of the missing file mt_behavior.hkx, and I was wondering if it was possible to get that file easily, or I have to do something drastic.

So it's missing that file, and you have to get it from somewhere? Would a mod have a workable version of it that you could get, regardless of whether you wanted the mod or not?

Yes, I have that mod. Disabled it and it works now. Don't know why it would do that, but thanks for pointing me to it.

I don't have that mod, so it can't be it. And I don't know how to use Papyrus Log, so I don't really know how to debug. If anyone could tell me how, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: Problem solved.

Do you have a problem with shouting, or Unrelenting Force?

Whenever I try to use Unrelenting Force my game crashes. I just got to High Hrothgar, and I can't proceed in the main quest because I can't "demonstrate the power of my voice". I have quite a few mods, but i don't know of any that affect dragon shouts in general, much less Unrelenting Force in particular*. If anyone could give me some pointers that would be much appreciated. *I've tried Animal Allegiance, Elemental Fury, Frost Breath, and Unrelenting Force, and UF is the only one that crashes Skyrim.

I've tried speaking to both of them, and Savos's dialogue says nothing about Mirabelle. But I don't have the quest, so I'm not even at stage 0.

I don't need to progress the quest, I need to start it. It is supposed to start immediately after completing Under Saarthal, but for me it doesn't, which means setstage won't help, and Urag doesn't have the dialogue at all because the quest isn't active, and therefore resetting him won't help. And no, I don't have the Helm of Winterhold.

I've tried the "setstage MG03 30" before, but it only works if you actually have the quest. The other console commands had some problems. First: the "0001c1b4" has to be at the end of the line, the command itself has to be first. Second: for the last two commands it said 0001cc1b4 was unknown variable.

I was playing through Under Saarthal or whatever that quest is called and went to get the next one. Finished it fine, got it completed, etc, no problem. Savos Aren tells me to go talk to Urag, still no problem. Then the quest Hitting the Book doesn't start, Urag doesn't have any extra dialogue options, the quest can't be received, progress permanently blocked. I don't know if this is a mod making this unplayable or something I did, but it's made progress impossible and I've spent way too much time on this character to give up on her now. I also don't know if it's possible to fix it with console commands, but all the console commands I've found help with quests that are already started, not ones that can't be started.

I've been looking for a good Savior's Hide replacer and couldn't find a single one I liked. I found three I liked parts of, but not the thing as a whole, so my request it a Savior's Hide with the mage robe bottom (including leggings, I know some people have made it without the leggings), made for CBBE v3, without the gigantic shoulders (I can compromise on the shoulders though).

I'll be sure to bring it up again if it happens randomly. So far, my unedited character is fine, I saved him before it was too late :dance:

Oh, thanks. Does that apply all the time, or just arbitrarily? Because I have one character I edit all the time with no problems, and the one I'm having trouble with I might have edited twice.

I have about 15mb save files, and triple the time, so I don't think that's the problem, but is there any way I can decrease my save file size? I tried reloading a smaller save an hour or so earlier and it runs fine. But is there any way to keep my save file size small?

I've been having random 9 second freezes as I play my game. I don't know of anything that would cause that except a bad CPU/GPU, and my current setup has run skyrim many times without this problem. And I've timed it every time it freezes, it's always 9 seconds, then the game starts back up again for a minute or less. It's not technically game breaking, but it is one of the most annoying things I've ever come across. Anyone know what's wrong?

Recently (after installing Skyrim MoMod and Monster Wars) I've had a problem with my game where it freezes for nine seconds then starts playing again. It's not like lag where the game catches up after nine seconds, it just freezes. Then it runs fine for a minute or less and does it again, for nine seconds. It ran perfectly before this, not exactly at a high FPS, but it never froze and started again. Does anyone know of something that would do this? Is it my computer or Skyrim?

I tried disabling DoD and Killmove+, separately and together, but I still have the same problems. I don't know of any other mod I have that modifies animations. EDIT: I removed and reinstalled every animation I could find (I had more than I thought) except for catwalk, now it works. Thanks so much.

After 1.6 came out I started playing again with a few new mods as well, and my melee combat is . . . interesting. Sometimes I will do the animation for drawing/sheathing my sword and my stance will change but my sword will either disappear or stay in my hand. Other times I will just go into the default position, arms held away from sides, legs straight, etc, and just glide around. And if I do get everything to work then sometimes I'll do an insta-attack where there's no animation but the hit sound plays and I do damage. It's very flow-breaking for someone that plays constantly in third-person, and I was wondering, is it a problem on my side (incorrectly installed mod, etc) or with the 1.6 patch or maybe a conflict between 1.6 and a mod. The only mods I can think of that might make this happen are Dance of Death, Bloodier Combat, and Killmove+. DoD was the only mod installed after 1.6, and all are via Steam Workshop, if that helps.
