Good afternoon! First of all I would like to say that English is not my native language so sorry in advance for any mistakes I might make. My objective with this topic is to find a solution to issues im having with my current Skyrim game. Since finishing Dragonborn when it came out I gave up on Skyrim for some months, but now that cold is coming I thought it would be a good idea to have Skyrim up and running again; and now look at me! back to the forums because of the problems im having with my game right now. Lets this topic also be a place for other users to look for help or to help others. With this said, lets go ahead and get to the point. I will post here my PC specs soon... According to BOSS (2.1.1) the game is running with: Known Plugins: 118Unknown Plugins: 1 (StalhrimExtraCrafting.esp)All Plugins: 119SKSE Plugins: 2 (CFM_extensions.dll and SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.dll) Additionally the game is also using: SKSEENB Series Skyrim v0233 and ENB Series Skyrim v0096 patch9 antifreeze (Im new to ENB -2 days- so I still dont know much about these...sorry). This is a list of all the plugins im using. By the way, I cant remember how hide in a spoiler tab this list, so if anyone can remind please go ahead and ill change it (sorry to make you scroll over a list of 118 esps...): Skyrim.esmUpdate.esmDawnguard.esmHearthFires.esm ActivoFalskaar.esm ActivoSkyrim Project Optimization - No Homes - Full Version.esm ActivoClimatesOfTamriel.esm ActivoSPIKE.esm ActivoHighResTexturePack01.esp ActivoHighResTexturePack02.esp ActivoHighResTexturePack03.esp ActivoUnofficial Skyrim Patch.esp ActivoUnofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp ActivoUnofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp ActivoUnofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp ActivoUnofficial High Resolution Patch.esp ActivoWeapons & Armor Fixes_Remade.esp ActivoBetter Dynamic Snow.esp ActivoSkyrim Shadow Striping Fix.esp ActivoStaticMeshImprovementMod.esp ActivoStaticMeshImprovementMod-DragonbornTernFix.esp ActivoStaticMeshImprovementMod-FurnitureChestSnowFix.esp Activo83Willows_101BUGS_V4_LowRes.esp ActivoBellyachesNewDragonSpecies.esp ActivoHigh Level Enemies.esp ActivoHigh Level Enemies - Falskaar.esp ActivoHigh Level Enemies - Dawnguard.esp ActivoHigh Level Enemies - Dragonborn.esp ActivoUnlimitedBookshelves.esp ActivoLost Art of the Blacksmith.esp ActivoPoint The Way.esp ActivoSDO Full-LOD - Giant Campfires.esp ActivoSDO Full-LOD - The Morthal Swamp Complete.esp ActivoSDO Full-LOD - Waterfall Effects.esp ActivoSDO Full-LOD - Whiterun Trundra Creeks.esp ActivoShootingStars.esp ActivoSkyrim Immersive Creatures.esp ActivoSkyrim Immersive Creatures - DLC2.esp ActivoSkyrim Flora Overhaul.esp ActivoAMatterOfTime.esp ActivoSkyUI.esp ActivoAMB Glass Variants Lore.esp ActivoApex Werewolf.esp ActivoCloaks.esp Activo1nivWICCloaks.esp Activo1nivWICSkyCloaksPatch.esp ActivoDarkNemesis.esp ActivoDK_Armor_By_Hothtrooper44.esp ActivoDragonBoneEbonsteel.esp ActivoEvil MasterMind Armor.esp ActivoGDZZJJDH.esp Activohothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp ActivoImmersive Weapons.esp ActivoInferno Weapons and Armors Set -The Arms of Hell Flame-.esp ActivoisilNarsil.esp ActivoKrev The Skinner's Mantle by Hothtrooper44.esp ActivoLore Weapon Expansion.esp ActivoMasters of Death - Sicarius Armor (Standalone).esp ActivoRitual Armor of Boethiah.esp ActivoThanatos Dragonx.esp ActivoDr_Bandolier.esp ActivoLC_immersiveLoot.esp ActivoSmithing Perks Overhaul_Remade.esp ActivoDeadlyDragons.esp ActivoBaradMithost.esp ActivoBreezehome_Fully_Upgradable.esp ActivoCornerofTheSkyrim.esp ActivoKynesguard.esp ActivoOBIS.esp ActivoOBISDB.esp ActivoBandit Patrols.esp ActivoRun For Your Lives.esp ActivoWhen Vampires Attack.esp ActivoThe Paarthurnax Dilemma.esp ActivoBook Covers Skyrim.esp ActivoBook Covers Dawnguard.esp ActivoBook Covers Hearthfire.esp ActivoBook Covers Dragonborn.esp ActivoDifferently Ebony.esp ActivoFalskaarDawnguard.esp ActivoGuard Dialogue Overhaul.esp ActivoSkyFalls Plus SkyMills - All DLC and Falskaar.esp ActivoSFO - Expanded Diversity.esp ActivoSkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.esp ActivoSkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators-Dawnguard.esp ActivoSkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators-Dragonborn.esp ActivodD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp ActivodD-Dragonborn-Dawnguard-EBT Patch.esp ActivoTheChoiceIsYours.esp ActivoTheChoiceIsYours_Dawnguard.esp ActivoSkyrim Unlimited Rings And Amulets.esp ActivoaMidianborn_Skyforge_Weapons.esp ActivoEnhancedLightsandFX.esp ActivoELFX - Dawnguard.esp ActivoELFX - Dragonborn.esp ActivoClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp ActivoClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.esp ActivoApocalypse - The Spell Package.esp ActivoMidasSkyrim.esp ActivoJoOMassLightning.esp ActivoDeadlySpellImpacts.esp ActivoEnchanting Freedom.esp ActivoThe Dance of Death - Ultimate Edition.esp ActivoEMCompViljaSkyrim.esp ActivoEMViljaInSolstheimAddOn.esp ActivoUFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp ActivoUFO - Dawnguard AddOn.esp ActivoUFO - Heartfire AddOn.esp ActivoUFO - Dragonborn AddOn - Unofficial.esp ActivoBlaze Of Eventide.esp ActivodD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Reduced.esp ActivoWATER.esp ActivoWATER Plants.esp ActivoWATER DG.esp ActivoWATER DB Waves.esp ActivoWATER Falskaar.esp ActivoBashed Patch, 0.esp ActivoNow let me add that im using a Bashed Patch as you may have noticed. Also as you can see im using various mods that edit leveled lists and they are bound to conflict with each other, BUT as I said, im using WryeBash; and if I understood correctly (tell me if im worng) by merging those mods into a bashed patch im supposed to avoid those conflicts because it "combined" those mods (their leveled lists). Therefore I thought I wouldnt be having any issues in that regard. I think its also important to mention that I have never tried using TESV Edit so I dont clean mods and of course, the Bethesda plugins arent clean either. The reason why I dont do this is because I have never tried or I have been to lazy to read about it but ive heard about it and I think that soon ill use it. Do you think using it would make a difference and would help to solve issues? Anyway, now im going to try to explain the issues im having. Let me say that issues have started to come up after starting a new game, and the more I advanced, the more issues started to come up. Constant freezes, CTDs and staggering on the way to Horelfrost from back door of Riften.CTDs and freezes in close combat.Freeze when loading (fast travel, openig doors into new cells - could this be because of Faalskar loading screens?!?).Freeze traveling Solhsteim-Skyrim and Falskaar-Skyrim (could this be because of Faalskar loading screens?!?).Random CTD while traveling the wild."Skating" monsters through Saarthal Amulet quest (ONLY HAPPENED HERE).Random CTD when mounting dragon.Freezes when walking around doesnt matter where (game doesnt crash but it does it a lot. Before installing ENB it crashed every time)Flickering water (speacilly after installing ENB)This is the weirdest thing that has happened to my game EVER: when my character walks around in interiors, even if not close to clutter, the dishes, food, clutter in general seems to "vibrate". I can hear the noise. This seems to happen specially when I talk to an NPC or interact with chests or other stuff... This is a weird one and I think its related to the flickering water and the following two issues.Enemies flicker and bounce around. They also sometimes spin and suddenly bounce like a ball through the room while it spins (this is a funny one, reminds me of cartoons!). It even gains momentum and bounces all over the place like crazy!Most times (recently) when I interact with a door the labeles alficker (with labels I mean where it says "door" when scrolling over an object). To this one let me add that when the door is locked, after unlocking the clutter goes all over the place. Its like there was a explosion inside or that the doors hit the clutter hard and send them flying all over the place. this is the most annoying and I think its the reason for the issues im having.My Skyrim ini mentions that there is a missing master for an active plugin but I cant find which one...Two crashes when interacting with merchant (this happened when the inventory appeared)Crash and corrupted save file after talking to the guy of the goat in Sanguines quest.These are all the issues I can remember now, but I will keep updating if I find or remember any. Now let me ask a few questions and throw in some facts so anyone interested can get a clear idea of whats happening: Should I use TESV Edit? Would it help solve any issues if I used it? If I merged esps (like craftables) in one esp with TESV Edit, would this improve gameplay? Should I manually check my mods to see if they edit leveled lists and add Bash Tags manually? Any recommendations or known issues you know about and I dont? Is there any way apart from disabling mods one by one to find the sources of the crashes. I tried to keep my mods list short and also known by BOSS to reduce/minimize conflicts. I read all the mod descriptions of the ones I downloaded and looked extensively for known conflicts. Apart from the plugins the game also has a bunch texture replacers but except for SFO and SMIM I always chose mid or low res versions. No wild ini edits; only two edits: the one required to install ENB and another one to disable shadows on grass. This is all I can remember right now. I will keep updating this thread with news and I will also try to help anyone that asks. Im going to run and install ACIII again since my skyrim is unplayable right now. I hope I can fix it and I also hope that someone might help me out with these issues. All the mods listed here are VERY GOOOOOD!!!!!!! Give them a try! Thanks to the authors and the nexus! Thanks in advance for your posts and your help. Best regards form Spain! ElPuma77

Sorry for posting again, but I fixed the issue thanks to ZENNA21. FIX FOR DRAGON MOUNTS!!!!

OK!!! FInally did it! Took me 4 tries... xD! Thanks MOTO!!! Mod List+Load order

Thanks For your interest. It sounds like you understand quite a bit and certainly much more than at least me. Thanks! First of all how can I crate the "Spoiler tab" you mentioned? And finally, what is FNIS? Never heard of it

I'm going to list the issues I have seen in my game so far: 1) I think it is important to mention that even though the new DLC adds new content. As I said previously I have about 85 plugins/mods in my game and I have CTDs and freezes from time to time (maybe once or twice a week) but it was very stable. When I started the DLC I saw that some of my mods that edit levelled list and others were present in the gameplay. Items and enemies from Immersive armors, I. weapons, I. creatures and others could be found in chests, on reavers, etc... My point is that its not only mods that edit dragons are a possible conflict, but others too. 2) CTD various times when approaching the farm outside RR as the ash spawns are fighting. CLeared loading laste save a couple of times; at this time I also had installed the U. Dragonborn Patch so I really dont know what fixed it. 3) One of the Random Spawns in the DLC is the Morrowind Easter Egg of the flying Mage. As soon as he crashed CTD. I havent seen him again so I cant confirm if that was fixed. 4) On the first attempt playin DB I went to Raven Rock and started gathering Miscellanous quests. When I tried to trigger the main quest the cultists never came for me. Fixed by reatarting the "1st arrival to Raven Rock". 5) My char is level 81+ and the Ebony Warrior hasn't come for him yet. 6) Most of the savegames done in this gameplay ended up being unplayable (corrupted saves?). 7) When taming the first dragon he flies off without the character who is "riding in mid air" moving around like the dragon (thats was my first post...). For the moment I think these are all the issues I have found thorugh my 1st gameply on Dragonborn. Hope this helps.

How did you fix that? what mod edited the skeleton? I have a big bunch of mods (85 plugins...). Anyway, I have disabeled Deadly dragon, Bellyaches dragon species, Dragon Lords, Realistic ragdolls and force, the U. Patches and I cant think about more to try... I want to throw something out see if its a good idea: How can I reinstall the default dragon skeleton (I guess a nif...)? to see if what worked for you also works for us. I also read on the Beth. forums about a guy who uninstalled the U. Dragonborn Patch and it worked for him (not for my game...). Anyone know of a list of Mod compatibility with Dragonborn?

Hi! This new DLCis full of bugd all over the place. My game was stable till now... Anyway, I have an issue and I would like to know if anyone knows a solution. When I ride on the dragon it leaves without me. I have loaded previous saves (10 I would say....) and none fix it. Any suggestions? ITs annoying but funny... you se the guy sitting on mid air moving around and the dragon is far away. Also note that if you tell the dragon to land he will land, but you WONT appear beside him, youll stay where you are. Please give me a hand!

I have learnt more useful and interesting things on the nexus than @ school (except for reading and writing of course) in the past 2 years I think. I check this site every day and I am constantly looking for more and more amazing mods that this community creates. Awesome extra content, huge pool of amazing ideas, and the kindest people I have ever seen. The nexus has my incoditional support and will always have it! THank you so much for sucha a great service! And thanks to the community for such amazing content! Regards from Spain!

Windows 7 prof. 64 Nvidia GTx 660 2GB (DDR3-DDR5), or an ATI Radeon that seem to bo equally good but cheaper...any suggestions??? RAM 8-16 GB 2100 MHz SSDD drive of at least 100 GB Any suggestions for a screen??

On budget I cant do more than 1500-2000 € Country: Spain Im buyin the PC whole, I only have a laptop (but I have keyboard and mouse...) For screen I use my TV... I want to get a screen too. I was planning on building my own computer I was just planning to go to the store and "build" the computer with the technicians there, but I want to know beforehand what im looking for. EDIT: let me add I want the PC to be more cheap than expensive. I guess that would be 1/2 tier...

Hi! I am thinking about buying a new desktop PC and I was wondering if anyone could give me insight or recommendations on what the system specs. should be. I dont know much about computers. Also I would like to know what screen you would choose (I have no idea whats good or bad...). I want to be able to handle skyrim with good textures, no staggering, and basically a PC that runs skyrim smoothly. Please, give me a hand! I was thinking in the following: Envidia GTX 660 8 GB Ram DDR3 Intel i5 3rd generation or i7 processor Windows 7 64 ElPuma77

UPDATE: 03/11/12 HI again!! I have been tracking down issues with my game and I have a new bunch of them. HOUSE IN THE PALE: After trying the fix due to conflict with SkyTEST-RAP it didn't work, therefore I still can't see my house when I build it. KIDS: This one appeared yesterday after I updated the USP and made the change to SkyTEST. LUcia appeared w/o clothes. I fixed it by giving her a new dress. COURIER: I can't understand why, but since I installed HEarthfire I have had this problem. You people know these letters the Dovakiin receives from "a friend" telling him where the sources of power are (shouts)? Well, since I installed HF I haven't heard from him again... The same for the courier for the orphanage... Never found him.

I want to throw in a question see if anyone can give me an answer: IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CRAFTING AND SMITHING MODS LIKE CRAFTING 300, LEGENDARY ART OF THE BLACKSMITH AND OTHER LIKE THIS MAY BE CONFLICTING WITH HEARTHFIRE???

UPDATE 03/11/12: It didn't work I still have the issue even after disabling most of my mods.

couple of questions: what is ctd? what is USP and what is skytest-rap? and how you disable USP and CTD (dont answer the last one if CTD and USP are mods)? Hi NRC!!! A CTD is a simpler way of saying Crash To Desktop. USP: Unofficial Skyrim Patch (Mod) SkyTEST-RAP: SkyTEST-Realistic Animals and Predators (mod) I know various ways to enable/disable mods: 1) Through data files in Skyrim Launcher 2) Through NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) in the plugins tag. 3) Through WryeBash. I hope this helped. Anyways, I'm going to include a new update soon. Regards, El Puma
