After realizing that I had no idea what half the mods in my load list did, I decided today that I was going to reinstall Skyrim fresh. No save files, and initially no mods. Yet when I started a new game to test if it was working, the game immediately closed. It didn't even open up the usual steam blurb about new game deals (and yes, before you ask this is a legitimate copy of the game. I haven't got a clue what's causing this, though the game just suddenly started updating after I validated the game's files with steam, so maybe it's behind on updates or something, which I hope is the case. Of course, I'd like to be prepared for if it's not, so does anyone have a suggestion as to how I should go about solving this problem if the update steam is downloading doesn't fix it?
