Might I suggest switching to Wrye BASH? Switched recently from Vortex to Wrye, and all my little niggly problems in -game went away.

THIS! Worked like a Charm, for both Predator Vision Mod and standard Night Vision!

Agreed, Also the easiest way to mess up your saves, bloat your Data Folder (When you unsubscibe steam just leaves the files on your pc.) I HATE THE WORKHOP WITH A PASSION! BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!! If it ain't on Nexus - it dont exist as far as I'm concerned.

THIS! In particular any changes you've made in the [Papyrus] section beyond enabling logging - like memory tweaks etc. I removed all tweaks I made except for logging and problem solved.

As far as I know it's random, the staff of the familiar can be found in the one dungeon on the way to riften,

Are you speaking of the endless loading screen issue or the random freezing? I've herd of AQWM doing it, but mine was due to HD pack from bethesda and unofficial hd patch for some reason. My problem now are random freezes, though I can make it happen at Helgen after I get off chopping block pretty regularly I was speaking of the Endless loading screens :p Random freezes can be a Couple of things, scripts have been my own little demon to conquer, since I run a lot of scripted mods. I've solved most of my issues by doing the following: If you are using a lot of scripted mods, try adding the following to your skyrim.ini file, this will give the Papyrus VM more time to do it's thing: [Papyrus] fUpdateBudgetMS=800 fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800 fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000 iMinMemoryPageSize=256 iMaxMemoryPageSize=512 iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600 bEnableLogging=0bEnableTrace=0 bLoadDebugInformation=0 bEnableProfiling=0 For an explanation of what these do see: http://www.creationk...tings_(Papyrus) Also add the following to data/skse/skse.ini: (Create the file if it does not exist)[General] ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 I still occasionally get a CTD or a freeze - but not often enough to be an issue for me. :p

As always, create a save you can revert back to before trying this. If you are using a lot of scripted mods, try adding the following to your skyrim.ini file, this will give the Papyrus VM more time to do it's thing: [Papyrus] fUpdateBudgetMS=800 fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800 fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000 iMinMemoryPageSize=256 iMaxMemoryPageSize=512 iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600 bEnableLogging=0 bEnableTrace=0 bLoadDebugInformation=0 bEnableProfiling=0 For an explanation of what these do see: http://www.creationkit.com/INI_Settings_%28Papyrus%29 Also add the following to data/skse/skse.ini: [General] ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 See if this helps.

What you're describing sounds like an issue I had where the sky looks like the inside of a cube around the edges of the map.. Are you using an ENB? And is MSAA enabled? If so, disable MSAA or the ENB, if you want AA use FXAA with the ENB instead.

I also get this from time to time when loading a game after just starting skyrim, no doubt due to some script that was acting out when the game was saved :P What you could do if it is the same for you is simply load an earlier save then load the latest save once your in-game. Also A Quality World Map caused this for me as well.

His being is defined by what he does - his entire purpose is to control and belittle those he can, by whatever means required, no restrictions. Skyrim case in point: He commands you beat someone with his mace, he dies. what does Bal do? Resurrects him so you can have another go at it - simply because he wants to hear the words "I submit" - after he gets what he wants, you get tasked with killing him anyway, again giving Bal what he wants - the soul of the very man you just killed (twice). So yes, what he does is horrifying - because in most cases, it works. He praises those with the strength of will to rise above others, in the case of the women selected for the ritual - being raped by him, surviving the ordeal and then continuing to exist shows him that inner strength - the reward? Their newly found Vampiric state and all the powers that go with it. Including - powers that involve some sort of controlling aspect (raise dead to fight for you, call animals for the same purpose, etc). Agreed, That is purely who Molag Baal is. What he did is consistent with lore. I mean, really - everyone is having such an issue with the choice of storyline without taking into account that Molag Baal is EVIL. He wasn't being particularly worse, IT IS WHO HE IS! They knew that when they decided to serve him!! Why people try to emprint real-life issues on a fictional game is beyond me! The whole point is it is fiction, a storytelling. No different than reading an epic fantasy book. A lot of what happens in, for example Lord of the Rings is rather upsetting, but it is part of the story and adds depth to the characters and the story. When I play a game or read a book it is to escape from reality for a few hours, not to see if I can apply it to my book/game as well.

I'd put both on the SSD, this way your windows and Skyrim will start up fast. But putting only Skyrim on SSD will speed up Skyrim's load times, and only Skyrim's load times (Well, Skyrim & your other steam games).

Is the quest marked as Completed in your journal? If not, try seting it to completed using the console.
