I have tried to play through Fallout. I tried for about 4 months to get A Tale of Two Wastelands to work, because let's be honest--those two games should never have been separated. I would get it working, then something would change and it would crash indefinitely. Something as minute as a driver update or a windows update would break the game. So I moved to Skyrim in anticipation of SK64 and was able to get it running smoothly enough to get about 175 hours into a new character..then SK64 came out and it blew chunks without mods, so I got greedy and thought to just make my Skyrim look like it via mods. And I totally corrupted it. Completely, totally, wholly corrupted it. My save file, the data, all of it. I've only got through about 1/5th the quests in storylines and I can't effin' continue them. So I went back to NV and Fo3 and was completely disappointed again there, after trying for the 9th or 10th time to get it to work with my mod choices. And I became extremely burned out on Bethesda because they create the best games in the world without making them stable at all. I'd be willing to try your SEPTIM guide if you could post it or a link. Thanks Sure thing! Its actually listed in the MODS section and also has a Forum Topic on here as well. For me it was just good to have a starting place for new mods first time using the SE playthrough. His last update was around April 1 to the guide and I can say I've safely added a couple of dozen mods post guide with no issues. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2846/? Good luck and hope that helps!

Interesting topic. I recently chose to mod out a skyrim se play through mostly following the SEPTIM guide and can honestly say, the game is so far more stable and enjoyable to me over oldrim. First, my enb works correctly, cleaner and quicker loading and NO CTD playing up to level thirty seven so far. In addition, ninety five percent of the mods I care about are already ported. Moreover, some of the mod authors did a rewrite to work around no MCM and re-coded rather than just porting with some enhancements and stability improvements. Yes, there are a couple thIngs missing still (convenient horses should be out any day now), but overall the loss of SKSE has had little impact to me in contrast to the Far greater stability improvements. Your mileage may vary, but I am having more fun now on SE than oldrim just by virtue of the stability and visual improvements I am enjoying. 95% is close enough for me. Yes, SKYUI non-hack will be great someday, but the move to SE was worth the ugluier UI to me. Your mileage may vary. SE>CTD
