Altrus

Before I begin, I just want to say thanks to anyone who came to this thread looking to help. I've been trying to fix this problem for the past two days and just plain don't know what to do now. First, I downloaded all the dlc yesterday and that is when the problem started. Anytime I tried to load a save of my current character I received a CTD. I tried a few things to fix it, uninstalling all the mods I currently had installed one by one and trying to load, when that didn't work I completely uninstalled Skyrim and re installed and that save still wouldn't work((new saves would work but not this save or any of the saves of this character before the newest point)) So I started a new character and just used console commands to add exp to my skills until it nearly matched my old character((around lvl 30)) and then re installed my mods one by one looking for a crash. I went through all the mods looking for incompatibility with dlc and the only one I came across was the UFO mod and Dragonborn but that seemed to only apply to DB followers. I also made sure I they where all up to date and none where conflicting((most of my mods are just texture, climate, an enb, the unofficial patches, UFO, and some weapons and armor addition mods)) Now, the new character CTDed while I was doing the Clavicus Vile quest((one I had never done on the old character)) and now CTDs whenever I try to load the save or any of the saves associated with that character. This was after playing with this character for a good five hours or so or more. Additionally, I get what appear to be the same Errors in the Papyrus.txt that I was getting with the other character. I also tried BOSS for the first time to check my load order which didn't get changed very much, no warnings either just a few BASH notes and dirty edits. ((I might not be right in thinking these aren't that big of a problem)) Tried most of the general fixes like, uGrid, sound kHz, and compatibility modes. I also just unistalled avast anitvirus to try loading and didn't help, I have not tried redownloading the game without this installed yet. I honestly have no idea where to go from here. This is my load order, with some clarification on certain abbreviate ones: [edit] Forgot, I also have the Skyrim HD-2k Textures for Riften, twons, MIsc, Landscape, and Dungeons. And most of aMidianBorns weapons, armor and unique textures. And SG female texture mod. Is this too many texture mods? I'd like to think I don't have too many mods installed because it doesn't seem like a large amount to me, This is what boss tells me, Recognized: These are unrecognized: And this is the papyrus log: What happens is I'll start the game, click to load the savefile, the load screen will come up, I'll see the lore text, the model, a lvl, and then about 3 seconds in straight to desktop. No freezing, no none responsiveness, just straight to it. My system specs: Windows 7 64bit Geforce gtx670 4GB i5-3570k GPU 3.40 GHZ 8GB RAM 1TB HDD So, I've run out of ideas, anyone know what might be causing this or what I should try next or any additionaly info you need?. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I think i put this in the wrong section. Moved to the mod one.

I don't necessarily dislike AMD, but I enjoy PhysX and I have a 3D monitor with Nvidia's 3Dvision stuff so I'm not looking into transfering over anytime soon. Also, i'm not so much trying to find something that's cheaper, as I am trying to figure out if 4GB would be a waste of money. Like if Skyrim modded would really utilize more than 2GBs and how far into the future til games that really used a good bit of VRAM would come out. But from everything I've read, plus the reinforcment from here, I am going to get an EVGA GTX670 superclocked+ with 4GB of VRAM. Most likely sticking with my 520w PSU for a few weeks and then upgrading to a 750ish psu.

I was actually looking into getting one for my OS to boot off of and I did have the thought of, Hey I can put Skyrim on this! But how do I do that with a steam version, would I have to go into steam's files and change the address of the game's folder after moving it, or will steam just auto correct that and start downloading the game to the original location? I have a Corsair 520w right now and that seems like it will do the job with the 600 series' amazingly low power draw, for now. I plan to get a 750w or a 800w in the near future.

So I've been working on my computer for the past month and have finally come to the graphics card. Now, I'm kinda addicted to making Skyrim look just absolutly gorgeous, along with other fun mods. I've been looking at the GTX 670 FTW 2GB but lately I've got my eye on the GTX 670 Superclocked 4GB. The thing is that this draws close enough to GTX 680's price point that I've been thinking, maybe. I've been slightly ignoring the 680 because from everything I've read most 670's easily overclock to its level if not higher, and a lot of stock cards are only 5% more powerful in most games than its 670 counter part. The thing is Skyrim HD textures and graphics mods can use up quite a bit of VRAM even at 1080p. My question is, if I do go for the higher priced one, in your opinion, "Would it be better to go for the GTX 670 with 4GB of VRAM or the GTX 680 with 2GB of VRAM?" Currently using a 560ti 1GB and slowing my game down greatly at the settings and mods I enjoy playing with, works fine indoors, but large areas of any type slow it to a crawl, exspecially dragon encounters. Kinda leaning towards the 4GB at the moment.

Mods make Elder Scroll games for me. Without mods I would have played Skyrim for about a week, just like a lot of game, and I probably wouldn't have played Oblivion for more than a day....just didn't like that game without mods really.
