hi there. the main change to clean plugins with the new SEEEDIT version is the -quickautoclean parameter. in my modlist/guide (german): https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/lets-mod-skyrim-sse-tuning-guide.1631118 i recommend to read this stuff (english): https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/5-mod-cleaning-and-error-checking.html#s_5-3-2

i've seen a modded skyrim on an 27" wqhd premium display and it looked just awesome and he played with stable 60 fps with an rtx 2080 ti oc. as u won't buy that card, i would clearly suggest the premium wqhd freesync display with an vega 64 oc at least. best would be a radeon vii. don't forget: if you have "2 much performance", you can still use downsampling. the pictures is rendered in a higher resolution than your monitor, but again downsized to your monitor resolution, just a moment before the picture is displayed. you get a much better picture that way. +50%(150%) or 1,5x resolution scale is already 4k - if you are coming from wqhd.

In fact loot only fails in certain situations concerning npc changes and plugin merging. Even pros use loot, maybe with some manual adjustement. So there is no reason to not use loot.

hi don't increase ugrid values. let it always at 5 (default). best landscape lods i know has lightweight grass overhaul. superp mod, including much more than just beautiful and fps friendly grass: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21954 with bethini u can go higher than the selectable ultra values: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4875 than u can run xlodgen, but for terrain only: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/13451-xlodgen-terrain-lod-beta-for-fnv-fo3-fo4-fo4vr-tes5-sse-tes5vr-enderal than u can run dyndolod: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/13894-dyndolod-beta-for-skyrim-special-edition-and-skyrim-vr-259

Are you using DynDoLOD? I had your problem last year and solved it by deactivating DynDoLOD, starting the game, save, exit, enable dyndolod, run loot, start game, load newest safe, wait for dyndolod sucessfully initialized message. Than i was able to save again without CTD and could continue the game. Are you really sure, that none of your installed mods are for the new skyrim/skse versions? Before deleting/uninstalling the game, i would make a backup and than try to update.

Without necessary files as DX files, the game wouldn't start at all. @ vokurekvole Can you see the DLC plugins in Loot and in the data folder of your skyrim installation? Have you checked the data for errors in steam? Right click in steam on skyrim, properties, local data, check data for errors. Have you tried to uninstall the game and delete everything that has to do with it, not your saves although, but also deleted your INIs (xyz:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Skyrim) and reinstall the game? If that doesn't solve the issue, i also don't know anything further.

Well to get playable FPS rates with ENB in 4k, i suggest to avoid following mods: - ELFX, Realistic Lightning Overhaul - JKs Skyrim - Grass mods (Verdant Grasses, SFO, ...) - Tree Mods (SFO, 3D Trees, Skyrim/Simply Bigger Trees, HQ Treebark with Lush Option, ....) - ENB Particle Light mods (ENB Light, Rudy stuff...) Just install SMIM with some other texture mods (e.g. noble skyrim, realistic water two, majestic mountains, forgotten retex) + your weather mod and ENB of choice. I suggest to install NVT ENB in the medium quality version and then to select medium details in the graphic options of Skyrim SE. Also deactivate TAA. That way you should be able to play with ~ 45 FPS. Everything else is just useful to create some 4k YouTube showcase Videos with 30+ FPS. Not really playable/enjoyable for gameplay, even not with a RTX 2080 Ti. To play in 4k with ~ 45 FPS with above mentioned performance demanding mods in ultra settings (ENB and Game), you will need at least a RTX 3080 Ti OC, if not a RTX 4080 Ti.

Important is the unofficial ELFX SMIM Patch, if you have those mods installed. In the skyrimprefs.ini, set the value iShadowMapResolution=2048. You won't see a big difference, but gain some fps in the forrested areas.

@ Arthmoor yes but how to find out the mod(s) which are causing troubles, if not by disabling them?

Hi, disable dyndolod in the mod manager and try to load the save game. If the game runs again, go to an outside area no matter where. Save the game and close it. Now enable Dyndolod in the mod manager again and place the dyndolod.esm plugin where it was (in your case should be after RSkyrimChildren.esm). If the game now works, wait for the dyndolod initialized message in the game, than save it again. If this doesn't help, you can only disable mods in 40 mod steps and than try to continue the game again. Maybe you can find the mod(s) which are causing the problems and can correct something (update, compatibility patch, loadorder, deinstall). If nothing helps, the bad news bear will come and tell you: Deinstall Skyrim and start again from scratch... http://www.iamhoneydill.com/new-stuff/2017/4/30/percival-the-bad-news-bear

The only way with a chance to solve this, is to disable the installed mods in the mod manager and than try to continue the game. It must be a mesh or script conflict issue, which is causing the CTDs. So you must not disable texture mods or "safe mods" as unofficial skyrim patch. I recommend in your case that you start to disable mods in 25 mod steps. If that doesn't help, the bad news bear has bad news for you: http://www.iamhoneydill.com/new-stuff/2017/4/30/percival-the-bad-news-bear Prepare to start a new game and not with the same mods installed again, because your personal modded version of skyrim is not 100% running correct. Edit: You could also try to load an older savegame and see if the CTDs still happen. If you are lucky, it's just a corrupt savegame. Maybe due to deinstalling scripted mods during gameplay.

Use Loot to sort it dude! Than update SKSE, install Papyrus Util and SSE Engine Fixes.

Yeah, but now your faces are vanilla again, aren't they? :) Well everything that edits head stuff can cause the dark/black/brown face bug. As mentioned, in the mod manager the left pane (mod data) and right pane (mod plugins) must be in line. If you run Loot after installing mods that change NPCs heads, it won't be inline anymore, until manually corrected again. Either by manually drag&drop correcting the plugins, or by deinstalling/installing the mods that change npc heads again (incl. compatibility patches) and don't run loot again. Last and best: Fix it in SSEEDIT as explained the link.
