I've done all this and it is still crashing and I feel like crying!!!! I uninstalled, started from scratch using NMM instead of Workshop, used LOOT to check load order, and I used Tes5Edit. Seriously, I have no idea what I am doing wrong!!

With so many mods to enhance environment, I'm looking for recommendations. Instead of downloading, for example, Pure Waters, Lush Trees and Grass, Enhanced Snow, etc. does Vivid Landscapes cover all this? Same question for the sky: Shooting Stars and Vibrant Auroras or Realistic Nights? Or all of them lol.

Okay I'll give that a try. How do I transfer mods from Steam to NMM? Basically, I want to stop using Steam and I'm going to use NMM exclusively from now on. If I switch will I lose my game progress?? I would be devastated if that is the case.

Just want to point 2 things out first before I explain: One, I am new to PC gaming. I have only had this laptop for about a month now. And two, I spent half a day trying to fix this issue on my own. I went step by step through several video tutorials to no avail. Hitting up the forum for help is a last resort as I know there have probably been 100 people before me asking the same question. So the issue is Skyrim crashing on startup. It gets to the Bethesda logo and crashes. From what I've learned, it is probably because of my mod order. The crashing started after installing Remove 3D Map Camera Restrictions which needs to be at the bottom of the load list. First I tried using LOOT and moved it to the bottom. Then I followed a tutorial and cleaned mods using TES5Edit. Still crashes. I used Steam to download/install all of my mods and noticed that in most of the tutorials they are using NMM, so I installed that, followed 2 more tutorials, one explaining how to switch from Steam to NMM, but it still crashes. Finally, I decided to just uninstall and delete that mod. I unsubscribed from it and followed a tutorial on how to delete it from my computer. Still crashes. So as you can see, I need help. I'm worried that I will have to remove all mods, or even uninstall Skyrim, and lose all of my progress. PLEASE HELP!!
