I went into Steam, right clicked Skyrim and went to 'properties' and then 'updates' unchecked the Steam cloud box but the CTD still happens in Solitude. Did I do everything right in Steam ?

Darn it, I don't know how this went from being fixed to suddenly being un-fixed again. If I revert it could happen again and I still won't know why. Are there main quests in Castle Dour ?

If I remove mods won't I have problems with my save not finding the now missing files? I have an earlier save where the CTD won't happen but its 10hours ago and that's around a week's gaming to me, new game isn't an option as I'm 160hours in now. Without spoilers, are there any important quests, including companions, dark brotherhood, thieves guild, mages guild in that part of solitude? From the main gate, past the windmill and as far as the bards college? I can fast travel to the blue palace ok and I can still enter the bards college from that side of the city. I could just avoid half of solitude. It's exactly like the problem I had with the official texture pack, I think it's linked to that. Thanks.

I followed the steps but unfortunately I still get the CTD in Solitude.

Sorry I should've said that the CTD is still happening.

It might have been orange, it's the only mod that isn't green so hard to tell if it's red or orange. Anyway, I followed appendix 1, opened the mod in TESedit and sorted the masters and now in Wrye Bash everything is green and there's a bashed patch at the bottom of the load order. The immersive patrols masters are now checked either blue or green in the right hand column. Do I still need to delete dragonborn and dawnguard ? How would I do that without messing my game up ? This CTD is exactly the same as the one I had before, fixed by just turning the official HD texture pack back on, it's not fixing it now though. Since starting this 150hour playthrough I haven't added, modded, removed, cleaned, bashed or changed anything, and going back to a save 10hours ago removes the CTD issue although nothing has been changed from that save to my current save apart from turning the hd texture pack back on, I don't know how it got turned off in the first place. Thanks for your help.

Wrye Bash only shows Immersive Patrols 2 with a red check box. The right column in Wrye Bash shows Skyrim.esm, Update.esm in blue and then in red there is Dragonborn.esm and Dawnguard.esm I don't know what to do from there. I'm using NMM, would that work OK with Wrye Bash ? Thanks.

Hello I posted this in another forum but maybe this is a better place for it. I've been playing for 150hours with almost no glitches or CTD's but now when I enter Solitude through the main gate I get a CTD. I can fast travel to the Blue Palace with no issues but when I reach the Bards College area and try to enter the other half of Solitude I get a CTD. So it's only that part of the city that is the problem. I had the same problem before but I fixed it, I have the 3 HD texture packs from Bethesda/Steam installed and the first one was unchecked in the data files box when launching the game. Simply turning that back on solved the problem although I had to go back a few saves as the latest saves were made while the first texture pack was turned off. Now though, everything is turned on as it should be. Files are spotless when cleaned with TESedit, following Gopher tutorials on youtube. LOOT doesn't show any issues either. I found the following video on youtube but following its instructions hasn't helped... If I go to a save from around 10 (real) hours ago then the game runs fine and there is no crash, I don't want to lose that much progress though. I haven't changed anything at all during those 10 hours, I'm always reluctant to go through the game files because I don't know what I'm doing. Hoping someone knows what I can do! Thanks.

If I load a save from 10 hours ago the crash doesn't happen. But I haven't made any changes to anything in between, I just explored around solitude. I was attacked by two dragons from the deadly dragons mod and kited them to solitude to get the guards to help me, game crashed right after that when I entered solitude.

I found this video which someone said fixed their problem which was described as being the same as mine... It didn't work though, crashed at the same spot. The video is about the highrestexturepack01,02,03 interfering with mods. Solitude seems to be a common place for it to happen.

OK I fixed that before, I don't know why the Texture update was unchecked but I checked it again and it ran OK. Those 3 texture packs are the official Bethesda ones. Now though, around 10 hours later I'm having exactly the same problem. But this time everything is turned on that should be and LOOT doesn't show any problems. I get a CTD when walking from the Blue Palace toward the rest of Solitude across the bridge, or when entering Solitude through the main gate, and when fast travelling to Solitude. I just ran around Whiterun with no problems so it seems to be isolated to Solitude! Please help, not sure what else to do.

I've been in Solitude for a few hours doing various missions and it's been fine the whole time, only after exiting the Blue Palace this has happened. My save folder is around 150mb, I don't think it's linked as the CTD happens immediately after entering Solitude or while I'm walking around within Solitude. TES5edit also doesn't show 'HighResTexturePack01.esp' with a tick next to it on the plugin selector when I open the program, I would have to tick it manually.

Hello, I've been playing Skyrim for around 150hours, I've only had around 5-10 CTD's during that time but now I'm having one I can't seem to get around. I exited the Blue Palace in Solitude and began walking across the bridge back towards the town and had a CTD. I re-loaded and entered the Bards College from the side entrance then exited through the main entrance and had a CTD. I then fast travelled outside the city and re-entered through the main gate and it CTD again. I'm only running a few mods specifically to avoid this kind of issue, the load order is copied from LOOT below. LOOT shows the HighResTexturePack01.esp without a green tick next to it like all the others have, this is also shown below where it is skipped in the load order. I don't know what that means or if it might cause a problem though. 0 0 Skyrim.esm 1 1 Update.esm 2 2 Dawnguard.esm 3 3 HearthFires.esm 4 4 Dragonborn.esm 5 5 Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp 6 6 Campfire.esm 7 7 ClimatesOfTamriel.esm HighResTexturePack01.esp 8 8 HighResTexturePack02.esp 9 9 HighResTexturePack03.esp10 a SkyUI.esp11 b LessIntrusiveHUD.esp12 c ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp13 d ClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.esp14 e SkyFalls + SkyMills + DG + DB.esp15 f SkyFalls Dragonborn Small waterfalls.esp16 10 RealisticWaterTwo.esp17 11 Immersive Sounds - Compendium.esp18 12 Footprints.esp19 13 DeadlyDragons.esp20 14 Populated Lands Roads Paths Legendary.esp21 15 Chesko_WearableLantern.esp22 16 banditraids.esp23 17 RealisticWaterTwo - Legendary.esp24 18 SMIM-Merged-All.esp25 19 Immersive Patrols II.esp26 1a Frostfall.esp27 1b SFO - Dragonborn.esp28 1c Skyrim Flora Overhaul.esp29 1d The Paarthurnax Dilemma.esp

I'm just copying and pasting this from tomshardware, I have the same topic up there.... I've had this problem since I got the PC, I've searched these forums for hours, seached youtube videos, googled all kinds of different terms to try to find an answer and it's just getting worse. I have a 128gb SSD as my C drive. There is currently 88mb free according to a windows warning and also the pie chart when right clicking on the C drive and going to properties. If I drag a box over every single folder in the C drive and right click properties it says the combined total is only around 70gb, so where is my missing 50gb ? I've tried deleting shadow files and it actually INCREASES the MB count. Before doing that and disk cleanup I had around 800mb and now it's 88mb. Windirstat shows that only 70.6gb is being used. I'm going to stop using this PC because windows is saying it's at risk of system instability. It's going to a local PC shop if it isn't solved soon. I don't think it should be relevant but I'll put it out anyway. I'm playing Skyrim and when I started modding it I had some issues so installed, deleted then re-installed Skyrim and a load of mods a few times over. Hope someone knows! I'd be eternally grateful. Sorry about the white boxes.

It doesn't matter if I delete stuff from the drive, it's still there. I have a post going on tomshardware now I hope that will help, I'm sure my Skyrim problems are caused by a hardware fault but if anyone has had similar save problems let me know. There is around 70gb of stuff on the SSD including windows so that should be 58gb available, if I delete stuff it makes no difference, the pie chart after right clicking the drive in my computer doesn't change and I'm getting warnings from windows about system instability.

I went into Yngvild, the Nordic ruin on the far northern coast close to Dawnstar, I was killed by a ghost inside so saved the game before encountering that part again, I was then killed again but my game re-loaded the autosave as I entered the ruin, not the manual save I made just before the ghost encounter. Now anytime I save over an existing save file it deletes it, if I start a new save file it doesn't show up in the load list so I assume it doesn't save at all. Also now the autosaves are not working. I just made it to Winterhold, I had 1 save file left and an autosave from back at Yngvild although I've been in and out of buildings in Winterhold and the 'autosaving' message comes up but if I load the autosave I'm back at Yngvild. The number of manual saves is at 260. I'm running a 128gb SSD, I think this might be the problem, I just got a windows message saying disk space is low and when I checked it has only 21.8mb. I've been having problems with it though where whenever I delete stuff it doesn't know it's been deleted and it still thinks its full! Scared shitless of losing 130hours of progress, I've backed up the 'documents > my games' saves folder to my HDD which is fine and has almost 1tb free so hopefully it will be OK. I know this isn't a PC tech support forum but if anyone knows anything about SSD's I would be very grateful!

Essential are static mesh improvement mod, 2k textures, a water mod (realistic waters 2 is most people's favourite). For weather and lighting I recommend climates of tamriel. It's mostly for weather but does make some changes to lighting. Other lighting mods like elfx or rlo I think are too dark, even with a torch it can be almost impossible to get around dark caves, realistic I suppose but not fun. I have a very powerful pc but I only run these quite basic and hardware friendly mods and the game looks really good. I know it could look better but I'm new to modding and don't want to get in over my head. You can have a great experience with those few mods and they won't give you any headaches regarding compatibility and should get you a decent framerate.

Does levelling skills slower mean that my player level also increases slower though? Example. When lockpicking last night my lockpicking skill was increasing slower but each pick attempt seemed to increase my player level at around the same speed as vanilla. So I could end up with lower skill levels but same as vanilla player level, and it's player level that I'm most concerned with. I'm already level 18 and I've done hardly anything. EDIT. Each time I pick a lock or attempt to but the pick breaks my lockpick skill goes up slightly less than vanilla because of the changes I made. But each attempt raises my player level bar possibly by the same amount as vanilla so I'm getting through the levels at the same speed. I might need to change something else aswell. I'll check that guide again tonight.

Ok I'll make those changes later, thanks. I'm 30hours in but I play extremely slowly so I've only done whiterun and riverwood and their side quests. I'm estimating the game could take me 250-300hours to complete. With levelled enemies and items stopping at level 50 I'd like to be around level 60-70 by the end of the game. I suppose it's difficult to judge but do you think skill values of 0.5 would slow me down enough? Currently 25-30 hours in at level 17. 0.5 looks about right to me.

Thanks for your reply. I have the uncapper and currently have the ini file open ready to make changes. I have copied and pasted and saved all the original settings incase I balls this up. All I want to do is level up slower so if I set each skill to level up slower would that work ? Because I only gain a character level up when one of my skills levels up ? Is that right ? So for example I use lots of different skills in game and each skill setting is 1 by default. If I change every single skill setting to something like 0.5 then I'm going to level up at half the speed than the vanilla settings ?

Bump. Level 15 now and I've only done missions from riverwood and whiterun. Around 25hours in. I know enemies and items stop levelling with me at level 50, at this rate I could hit the level cap of 100 when I'm just halfway through the game, I'm a completionist. I've seen the community uncapper and some other mods, could I install that halfway through my game with no problems? Don't want to ruin my save. Thanks.

I recently leveled up and realised I had to jump from level 3 to level 6 in one go. There is no option to back out of the menu and do the next level up later on. My worry with this is that I will miss low level items and enemies early in the game. In Oblivion I used to go a few days and only level up once, even though I had enough XP to level up multiple times more. So, is there a mod that basically allows me to back out of the menu where I select Health, Magicka, Stamina ? I just want to do one level at a time.

I'm at level 2 but with multiple level ups stacked up all ready to be done in one go. I go from level 2 to level 5 with no problems, choosing health, magicka or stamina. Then immediately after choosing one for the move upto level 6 I get a CTD. I have LOOT and the only conflicts I have is Climates of Tamriel with the Sounds of Skyrim mods. I let LOOT sort out my load order. I've also cleaned the main files, skyrim.exm, update.exm etc.... Any ideas ?
