No idea what's causing the flying trees, but I did spot that you don't have the patch for Sounds of Skyrim. There's a bug fix for it, which turns the esp's into esm's.

I learned how to make custom armour via this tutorial. The latest version of Blender isn't compatible with NifTools, so perhaps you should try using Blender 2.49b, which is. may also help you here. I believe that your problem is that you haven't specified the mask as armour/ clothing, nor have you specified where it would be equipped, ie you did not tell the mask it was to sit on the player's face. The following is a custom mesh for a dragon priest mask. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2339/capturewvb.png See how it is placed on the y-axis relative to the player's spine and head? The tutorial you followed did not include this, because that tutorial was to create a miscellaneous object, like a kettle, which just sits looking pretty in the game world. Hopefully, this clears things up a little for you. Good luck :)

Word of warning, you're not supposed to bump threads. In fact, I believe there is a sticky at the top of the forum under the name "Do not bump threads!". Anyway, try the command player.dispelallspells If that doesn't work, I would reinstall the mod, equip and then unequip the rings to remove the enchantments from the player, and then uninstall the mod.

The other files were SkyrimEditor.ini and SkyrimEditorPrefs.ini, correct? Then you edited the wrong file in the wrong location. In Windows Skyrim.ini is located at C:\Users\[uSER]\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim. You looked for it in your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim folder and found the Skyrim_default.ini file, which is the wrong one. I'd suggest removing the line from that file, because that is the game's backup default file. If you were to delete your Skyrim.ini file, the game would recreate it based on Skyrim_default.ini

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but you're going to have to do one of two things: Please try going through all the existing/ stickied threads relating to mod-related crashes, or Having done all that to no avail, please give us more information as to what makes your particular situation unique so we can begin to diagnose the problem. I must ask, did you read (and I mean actually READ, not skim) the installation readme's for the mods you installed? Have you considered they may be incompatible with each other? Have you used BOSS/ Wrye Bash do assist your load order and to diagnose potential problems? Are you attempting to run Skyrim at settings beyond the capabilities of your machine? I've posted a comprehensive guide to crash diagnosis here. The thread also contains links to other useful information. Good luck, but I must stress that reading the myriad of existing threads is absolutely crucial, and you really should only post (with comprehensive details as to what's wrong, your setup, the mods in question, etc) once you have already done so! This is to reduce repetition of details, since crashes are depressingly common issues the community faces every day.

Oh, one last thing I forgot to mention last night. One that might be very helpful in diagnosis: Enable Papyrus logs by adding the following to Skyrim.ini: [Papyrus] bEnableLogging=1 bEnableTrace=1 bLoadDebugInformation=1 Next time you crash, go to C:\Users\[uSER]\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Logs and open Papyrus.0.log. Down near the bottom of the log, there should be lines with the events "VM is freezing... VM is frozen Reverting Game..." or something similar. Just above those lines will be the name of the script executed which caused the problem.

He doesn't give me the option for his sword quest either. Interestingly, he also doesn't give me the "you know..." option with UFO.

Okay good luck with it :) I've been editing my post above since I didn't realise you had replied, so take a look. Do you use the Windows defragmentation tool? It has a reputation of being very bad compared to third-party defrag tools such as Auslogics Defrag Tool or Smart Defrag. And get CCleaner to help with your registry and general system cleanup. This, of course, presumes you don't already have a service in place, such as TuneUp Utilities, which I use. You have a good setup, so there shouldn't be any problems at that end. Then again, I can run Skyrim on Ultra with 2k Textures, but I can't run it with the low resolution of W.A.T.E.R., so it's difficult to say. Oh, and if you must uninstall, remember that some mods have very specific uninstallation instructions which you need to follow, else it corrupts the game. A final tip I have picked up, is to back up your scripts folder with a frequency bordering on paranoia, as too often it gets messed up. Or, maybe it's just me. At any rate, if you get to a point where your Data folder is back to vanilla, delete the scripts folder, restore it via steam's verify option, and start backing it up!

Okay, I understand your pain, I've been there myself. It really has taken me days sometimes to sort things out. Some of the things I say will probably sound really obvious, but I'm going to include them just in case. You never know. The first thing everyone seems to recommend is to verify your steam cache. This is on the off-chance that an integral game file has gotten corrupted. Secondly, with many mods it is wise to defragment your hard drive (unless it's solid state in which case, don't!), because large bsa archives may have become fragmented, and even many loose files may have become scattered around your hard disk, increasing load times, and possibly even making your CPU unable to find and retrieve them in time for the game load. If you can remember what the last couple of mods you installed before these crashes began occurring, it might be possible to narrow it down to one of them. Get BOSS or Wrye Bash to reorganise your load order, and scrutinise the result to see if there are simply incompatibilities which cause crashes. Go to C:\Users\[uSER]\AppData\Local\Skyrim and open plugins.txt. Search for duplicate entries, particularly of Skyrim.esm. This used to happen on occasion, and can cause issues in-game. You'll need to enable The "view hidden files and folders" option on your machine. I don't know where plugins.txt is located on a mac. What are your specs? Terrain and water tiles disappearing are often a sign that you've run out of VRAM. This is especially true if you have many high resolution textures installed. I myself found I can't run the game properly with W.A.T.E.R. installed, at any resolution. You can use Optimizer Textures (link) or SMCO (link) to optimize your textures. SMCO can also optimize meshes and bsa archives, but can also cause problems such as missing meshes, so be wary. Optimizer Textures is slower, but much simpler to use and has never caused problems. Speaking of specs, try lowering the game settings, you may be attempting to run Skyrim at a higher setup than your machine can handle. Start a new game after doing all this, as save files contain a list of all mods installed at their creation and running the game with a different mod list often can cause problems. If none of this works, try the following procedure I devised, which minimizes the time needed to test all mods individually. First of all though, back up your data folder. I believe that you can preserve your original load order since the latest release of NMM allows for multiple load orders. I haven't tried using it though, but if it works, all the better. Say you have 100 mods total. (This is for simplicity, the real number of your mods is completely arbitrary). They are arranged in a certain order in NMM, which helps. Install the first half of them, ie 50 for the example. Start the game and see if you encounter problems. If you do, then the culprit is one of these 50 mods. If you don't, then the culprit is one of the other 50 mods you didn't install. Uninstall the mods again. You now have 50 suspect mods, in a nice list. Install the first half of these 50, ie the first 25. Once again, start the game and see if you encounter problems. If you do, the culprit is one of these 25. If not, it's one of the other 25. Repeat this process, cutting down on mods by a factor of two, until you are left with two mods. You can now easily test to see which one is the culprit. Using this procedure, you cut out possible mods 50% at a time. While it may seem cumbersome, mathematically it will save you time. Of course, this procedure relies on you being happy that all your mods are compatible with each other, which is why you must organise using BOSS/ Wry Bash first and testing. I do hope some of this will help. This is a link to a site which contains solutions to some crashes/ freezes/ steam errors/ audio problems/ fps/ other general bugs which commonly occur in Skyrim also. Good luck, and I hope this helps you out. If not, the only other thing I can really suggest without knowing more is that you look for a pattern in the crashes. Ask yourself: Do the crashes occur in a particular area only? Do the crashes occur after a particular amount of time? Do the crashes occur in time with a particular event? Ie, do the crashes occur when it begins to rain/ snow, or when a particular npc/ kind of npc starts talking/ interacting with the environment? Do the crashes occur only when around a particular thing? Such as a forge, group of trees, river/ other water body, or anything else? Are the crashes sudden and with no explained error, more like a quit-to-desktop than like a crash? Is an error message given, such as BEX or AppHangB1? Do the crashes happen only when a new cell loads, such as when running down the road from Riverwood to Whiterun? Do the crashes happen when a cell loads (such as in the line above) if I am looking at the ground? Heh, you can tell I spend a lot of time doing this, probably more than I spend actually playing the game itself! Anyway, good luck, and please let me know how you get on. If any of this helps, let me know what part it was which helped. If none of this helps, you need to give more information. Post your specs, Skyrim.ini, SkyrimPrefs.ini and load order (as attachments or spoilers if you can, to cut down on the size of the post) and maybe more efficient/ accurate help can be given. Because of the magnitude of different setups, and of mods, it is difficult to given an all-encompassing answer without tailoring it with specificity.
