YES! IT WORKED! Thank you so much!

Yikes, alright! Gonna try everything but that part right now and I'll give it a run.

Oh my gosh, I never EVER would have thought of that. I have never experienced issues with my OS in other games before. That explains why I didn't have issues before. The last time I played on PC was prior to the HD textures being released, I think? It was definitely before the DLC. I can't wait to try that when I get home! Thank you so much, I hope it works!

Yeah sure, here you go: Oh yeah, probably should have said that! I run 32 bit Windows 7.

I've been having this issue for months now. I get random ctds when running around outside and I can never even get to Riverwood. I was using the "Live Another Life" mod and I started from a bunch of different places and I would still crash. So the location wasn't the issue. I tried BOSS, which told me some files had dirty edits, so I cleaned them with TES5Edit. Didn't work. I just now finally got a papyrus log to run and I noticed a good portion of it seems to be referring to Dawnguard (I only have the HD Texture Pack, Hearthfire, and Dawnguard DLCs as well as the latest patch since I run through Steam). And it seems like maybe all of it is referring to missing files. Which is weird because when I started over, I had steam "check file integrity" or however that's precisely worded. I was under the impression that this functioned kind of like an installation repair? Am I wrong in believing that? As far as mods go, I kept thinking that it was a mod issue and kept it light. I only have I think 8 mods right now. Just hair, skin, and eye mods to make my character look better. I don't have anything for the environment (other than adding roads to the map). And I disabled Live Another Life once I started the main quest since I was afraid that may have been the culprit. All mods were installed either via Steam or NMM to minimize errors. For some reason, the plugin list (and BOSS) doesn't reflect all of the mods...which seems weird. But I know for a fact none of them are conflicting. These are the only active mods (via my BOSS log): I'm seriously at my wit's end here. I don't know what to do. I've tried everything I can think of and everything I can find. All the fixes I've found were for specific mods that I don't have. I've spent SO much time on this over days and months and I'm getting sick of it. Any suggestions would be fantastic.

OKAY! I FIGURED IT OUT!! Holy crap, I'm so happy. This has taken me DAYS to fix (literally x.x). So first off, I found a post about a similar problem. And their fix was to open SkyrimPrefs.ini and add some lines under the [Launcher] section. So it would look like this (minus quotes, of course): "[Launcher] bEnableFileSelection=1 bShowAllResolutions=1 uLastAspectRatio=3 bLoadLooseFiles=1" This didn't work for me, but I kept it there anyway. Next, I found this guide for fixing/changing load order. When I opened my plugins.txt file, NONE of my mods were there on the list. So I opened up NMM, went to the plugins tab, and used that as my guide to manually input each of the plugin names. Then I saved it, and checked it as read-only. That part is crucial. The first time I tried it, I opened Skyrim and it rewrote that file as empty again. Having it as read-only fixed the problem. Also, I noticed AFTER the fact that there was a loadorder.txt file in the same folder that I could have just copied and pasted >.> Oh well. When you open NMM after doing this, it will ask to make the file no longer read-only. So NMM can still install the mods, but each time you add one, you'll have to go back to plugins.txt, add the mod, and make it read-only again. I hope this works for you too!

I AM running it as administrator. My user account (on XP btw) is the admin. So that's not an issue. I'm wondering if this issue has anything to do with the multiple posts about the NMM error messages.

So Asteria doesn't work? Add that to the list of files not showing up for me as well.

I only just got Skyrim on my PC, since my computer can finally run it (I've been playing on 360 since it came out). I installed it, fixed a couple bugs, added some mods, and was playing just fine. Then my files got all messed up from some mods conflicting, and long story short I ended up just reinstalling (hadn't even left Helgen yet). So I did a clean re-install of Skyrim, and a clean re-install of NMM. Then, I reinstalled some of the mods I was using before my game broke. Just simple ones, like CBBE, ApachiiSkyHair, Horses for Followers...etc. Now, a lot of these mods aren't showing up. The skin and eye mods I downloaded are working, but the hair mods aren't. Since I never passed the character creation stage (since I keep trying to fix it), I don't know what else isn't working. Every time I open NMM, all of the mods are unchecked on the Plugins tab. I recheck them, and try to load the game again. Yet every time I open NMM, the boxes become unchecked. I also noticed that the "Data Files" option on the Skyrim Launcher is greyed out. But when I was running the game before, I could click on it and see what mods were enabled. I honestly don't know what could have changed. I have mods enabled in "SkyrimPrefs", the whole bEnableFileSelection=1 thing. And it's marked as Read-Only. I even tried manually installing the mods. And I've restarted my computer multiple times after the re-installs. I have no idea what else to try. I also was having an issue with certain mods not downloading in NMM (after my third attempt at a clean install). They would get to 100% then give me an error message about the download being incomplete or something. I also got a few other random error messages that caused a crash. But they weren't specific about any error names or numbers. Just that a problem had occurred, then it would crash.
