No. I run most of my mods that way. I got tired of NMM breaking. Now only the ones post break show up, but it doesn't affect any Looting, SeEditing, etc. so I don't sweat it. I'm currently at 160, and other than NMM, everything works fine, barely ever a hiccup.

DON'T uninstall mods as a general rule, disable them. I also use ReSaver to clean saves as part of my repertoire that includes Loot, SeEdit, and Wyre.

Oh, and if you install Sky 2.2, there are a few really nice font mods that go really well with the game, and sky ui.

I think you just did. I'll bring the chips.

I use a lot of textures mods from Oldrim. And if a mod, say SkyUI, has a pre extender version, it may work as well. Did I mention I'm a texture nut?

Why do Khajit have spots? Geez, with 80 some percent of player being 18-25 or thereabouts, I suspect some connection.

Impersonating Eli should be a punishable crime. At least an arrow to the knee, preferably both knees, front and back and one to the side.

I'm yawning at skse, and modding along with what is trickling out. I expect a deluge of mods once it, if it, ever comes out.

In my not so humble opinion, no.

I use the 2.2. I don't miss the "missing" features...yet.

No. In very rare instances I recall a mod or two at the most that mentioned Edit giving a false report. But the benefits of cleaning "dirty" mods far, far outweighs any dangers. As for areas, that sounds more like a conflict of mods. For example I once had a crash that happened as I approached, beneficial as I recall, an isolated cabin area outside Riverwood. Through research and trial I finally disabled the mod causing the crash. As far as I'm concerned SSEdit is as basic as a a hammer in a tool set.

or player.additem per piece.

"If you find the book before activating the quest, you will be stuck with it. The quest will point to the chest, and the book won't be there, and can't be returned. Once this has happened, you will be stuck with any additional copies you pick up as well, even if you activate the quest before getting a second copy." http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Fetch_me_that_Book! It sounds like you may have the book already. If, as you say, since you have done 12 or so and there are only 20 total, maybe you have the books already.

If your doing Helgen totally vanilla I'd be perplexed at a CTD at that point. You should, IMNSHO, play vanilla until the quest is "completed" on the other side of Helgen. If you are starting with mods, LOOT and SSEdit are a must, and Wyre for that matter. If you start out with too many mods and are inexperienced, it may be difficult, to say the least to track down the conflict causing your issue. I started once with STEP mods from the beginning. Bad idea. For me anyway. Once I had a clean save then I started the painstaking process of adding mods, looting mods and ssediting mods. I also recommend Bethini and ReSaver. Don't give up friend, just start small. After 2 years of Oldrim and SSE (everything I ever learned about modding I learned right here on Nexus), I'm now up to 160 mods, crashes are rare, and lately only one conflict I didn't catch before I installed it. I have learned to almost enjoy the challenge of piling on the mods without a crash, but it's a careful piling. Learn the dance of modding and crashes are just a blip. Good luck!

When I run WB, it lists a bunch of mods it says "need" to be disabled before rebuilding. If I don't it always appears in the next go around. In my case I'm not seeing it disabling anything on it's own. I'm glad this post question was asked. I learned to run Loot before, not after, like I thought.
