Yea defragging is one of the first things I have done because I usually have no problem. Its crazy that you said your problem was fixed with the removal of enhanced towns and villages, as I've never had a problem using it, I'll see if that'll help out

Usually I do not need help finding out if a stray mod, or something is causing my stuttering, I've been stumped by this. My system is strong enough to power skyrim maxed out w/any and all Hi-Res packs (mod and official). Somewhere along the lines, a mod is causing random stuttering into almost near slide show style FPS. I'll post my boss log just as a reference. I've tried disabling mods (w/new games, new saves, etc) and to no avail found out the problem. The problem appears near towns/villages. I haven't been able to locate it, I've disabled claralux and enhanced towns and villages, and nothing. I just can't spot the problem mod, and I remember one night before starting a new save file, I installed about 3-5 mods and that's when the problem started. I just can't recall which mods I installed. I'm not asking for people to diagnose this, but if anyone notices a problem with the mods or any conflicts I'd really appreciate it. Also, the problem of it happening just near towns, or villages may be random there have been a few times in the wilderness I have had the same problem but it is almost a guarantee to happen while approaching/near or in villages/towns. **Edit** - I have gone through most if not all Skyrim troubleshooting steps, including the ones pinned in this forum, and most other common troubleshooting areas. Thanks for any and all help, even if you can't find anything thanks ahead of time.

Did that, didn't work on old save or new save

That's the correct folder, and if that's the case... Then your scripts are ok. Same story here, none of the scripts you mentioned showed in the folder, still have the transformation bug Is your transformation bug exactly like the one I had in the video? Yea, same thing, it was working fine then now this..no idea..its weird Do you know what you did before the bug happened? Anything at all. Hard to say, if it had any effect at all but I did use the showracemenu alt spell to edit my charries appearance. However I'm not sure if it affected it or not because I didn't use the transformation before I did it.

I'm using Dark Elf as my race, and yet still have this problem.

Same problem, 12.7 Drivers..thought it was just me, thanks for posting this. Using the 12.7 Drivers, I changed the Shadow Resolution down to 1024 from 4096, fixed the problem. Shadows look bad, but UI is fixed

When I first seen the Hold Guards Helmet (Enclosed one with a mask), I was excited because it looked very similar to the Executioners helm from Dragon Age Origins. I loved this helmet, the look, everything. It just had that Dark Knight look, it wasn't conventional, but looked amazing. For Reference http://img8.elex-tech.org/10000/2011/1223/6c/7/18364/290x462x75x0.jpg http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hold_Guard_%28Skyrim%29 - Hold Guard Helmet http://images.wikia.com/dragonage/images/c/c9/Executioners_Helm.png http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Executioner%27s_Helm - Executioners Helmet from DAO The Executioners helm, is more rounded with a fin and a intimidating mask. It'd be amazing to see this in Skyrim. The Color in DAO was a darkish steel grey, but it was awesome because it looked good on any armor set in DAO. Anyways thanks for the time
