Slink and Unwished.... I have the same problem, but only around Falkreath. In particular, I cannot enter the Shriekwind Bastion from any direction. Total crash. The rest of the game is nearly perfect. Thanks to all the recommendations by posters. I've cycled through every mesh and texture file looking for the conflict, but to no avail. I don't have some of the other mesh mods which were referred to, but I've racked my brains trying everything I can think of and following all of your guidance as closely as possible. My conclusion is that this is a bigger problem with the game. I have had great success in this area in the past, but not since the most recent patches. Anyone know how to "un-patch" the patches? Sure would like to explore this part of the world, but for now it looks like that's out of the question. I'll bookmark this thread and check back from time to time. Thanks, all. Whitz
