Thanks for the clarification! I'm not sure I'm ready for a clean install ... been there done that with Skyrim SE ... and this last Dec. I "lost it" with Beth / Steam over ridding my DO NOT UPDATE ... and doing it anyways. They totally F'd up my Skyrim. :-{

Thanks - no, this is with a clean game and I do not add / remove mods while game is active. . o O ( I learned the hard way many moons ago. ) I will try the "revisit" ... and see. I just started a brand new game today.

.. also I ran into that problem a 'few' times. I will load an earlier save ... and usually I can load the one in question ... then resave w/the corrupted one deleted.

When I know that something is going to happen ( computer wise ) and it will / does: I create a TEXT file with Notepad ++ and have *ALL* my mods with specific links noted. Those that are not on Nexus or available - due to Mod Creator not 'going there' or such ... I have a backup of the ZIP files that can be located here to B/U: <drive>:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Fallout4\Mods That will have all your MOD's in ZIP format to backup. I would also strongly suggest that you go to your SAVED files and back them up and ZIP them.

I don't think that had anything to do with NMM ... sounds like a base program issue and not NMM.

I have about 4 - 5 settlements that will not get "active", as in no Quest or such to get them going? I tried restarting the game 4 times, fresh and clean ... and I still have the same issue. I do not have any mods that interfere with this, that I am aware of. As the only new mods are Quest - New Lands. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and it's random: County Crossing worked then next game it did not. The Slog, same. Worked then did not, as with other settlements that need activation quests. The only Settlements that work consistently are: Sanctuary - Red Rocket - Tenpines - Starlight - Homebase - and Coastal Cottage .... the rest are Hit & Miss.

Try not to link your mod or quests to base game quests please. IE: Buildings - Places - as some of us might not be wanting to play the Base Quests ... as we've played them way too often. I decided this time around, I was just going to explore QUEST MODS / NEW LANDS. Some excellent mods .. but sadly, 1 Mod required Base Game Quest to be done, before you could find / complete it's quest. That kind of killed it for me, 2/b honest. It's a GREAT MOD .. but it required MASS FUSION Quest to be done and the Fort Hagen / Kellogg to be done, if you wanted to finish the Mods Main Quest. I did TCL w/the MF building and got to the Quest Marker .... but Fort Hagen triggered to many Base Quests ... that well I realized I was going to have to "go there" if I wanted to move forward. Anyways, just something to think about ... Thanks for reading!

Okay, so I get a pretty consistent CTD, when Cigs are in a Bin - Desk - Box - Garbage Can and even a DOA Person. Someone told me it's due to FWE ... ??? Is there a fix for this?

Thanks, yes it is and it's not being seen or recognized? I think I'm getting to the end of my rope here ( thanks Steam / Beth ) and have to scrub the game - uninstall Skyrim SE and re-install it.

Yes, been there ... no fixes there at all ... still got error. the EngineFixes.dll and then another error that when I applied those ... even worse.

Version 2.2.5 is not working .. Tried it and several online "help" and still get errors. I'm going to give a couple of more days and then it's scrub and reinstall the game. Thanks Steam / Beth for another 'fine mess you created' ...

Yes, I am one of those that STEAM literally over rode my "NO AUTO UPDATE" .... and did it anyway and totally ruined my game that had several days and many hours into. Now it looks like I am going to have to remove the game and do a re-install. I am so not in my happy place.

Just a heads up .... I tried that LINK, by clicking yes and it did NOT HELP at all. In fact I think it screwed my game up ever more, if that was even possible. ( I started getting other ERRORS ) until I removed it. What I fear is I am going to have just do a total REMOVE of Skyrim SE and Re-install it. I'm so PO'd with Steam and Bethesda. I had a game going that I was enjoying and then this crap. I had clicked back in 2021 with Steam - DO NOT AUTO UPDATE - and made sure every few months that it was still "ON" and it was. Steam OVER RODE that and did it anyways!

Version: Skyrim SE AE CURRENT FU update that Steam overrode my DO NOT UPDATE OPTION. I already stated in my OP that I am using the current SKSE with version number, which I thought, should have been a clue, 2/b honest.

Okay, I searched and came up with nothing that make sense at all. - Make sure you have the updated EngineFixes.DLL file. Okay, fine - WHERE DO I FIND IT? Problem is - I keep getting the following Error either w/ the SKYRIM Launch or the SKSE Launch ... EngineFixes.DLL ... REL/Relocation.h (567 ) failed to open file. How the .... do I fix this? The game is worthless. - I have the newest SKSE: skse64_2_02_05.zip Installed and followed the Read Me instructions. There is no EngineFixes.dll in this and I have no clue where or how to find as the current one is not accepted.

Every time I try to read a SKILL BOOK .. any one of them: CTD. Anyone find an answer to this?

As soon as they have time to 'go there'. Beth really did not think this through, right during the Christmas Holiday and they expect people to accept a program update that simply will not work until certain other people ( SKSE ) have time to 'go there'? This is bad bad PR for Beth.

Right now - any and all that require SKSE ... as we need to wait for that to be updated. Then any / all mods that operate under SKSE .. then we need to wait for them to catch up, if they need to be updated. Some may not need to. Basically the LIST is too toooo toooooooooo long to even begin to list.

Actually - nothing for the player except to PTO ... big time. They started to put so called content that was already in the game if one wanted them .. but kind of FORCED the issue. But they did give the option to turn them OFF ..... which I did.

I read the posts and sadly I agree with a lot of them. I remember back when they first attempted this with Skyrim and boy did the ...... hit the fan! There was a whole lot of FALLOUT ( pun intended ) over it and I would have thought they had learned their lesson! But it seems .. NOT ... The sad thing is, IF Beth did not have the Mod Community their games would die big time! Fallout 4 is only kept alive because of MOD CREATORS, other wise that one would have died big time. Fallout 76 is still seriously problematic and I hear Starfield is not doing well and Beth is hoping the MOD COMMUNITY once again comes to their rescue! Beth owes the MOD COMMUNITY BIG TIME and not the other way around! I understand based on FO 4 - FO 76 and Starfield that they have totally run out of the ability to tell stories like Skyrim - and the other earlier Elder Scroll games and FO 3. I cannot give them FO NV as Obsidian did that and did a great job. I honestly fear for OS-6 ... I really do .... If they need $$, maybe they should take more time to put together stories that have MEAT and not just piece meal ....

Well I bought my own Hard Copy ... sadly ... it registers through and with Steam. GOG - Store ( Hard DVD Copy ) and such. I cannot tell you since 2020 how many times until 2021 ( Dec ) that I turned off AUTO UPDATE and KEPT IT OFF .... Yet .. seems Steam can OVER RIDE and screw people up anyways.

SKSE - is down, because they need to update. Skyrim SE - is down, because Steam over rode my *NO AUTO UPDATE* and updated anyways. Now mine and many others games are totally trashed.

What literally P... Me Off is that I had / have NO AUTO UPDATE activated and Steam over wrote it!

"Essentially" you are correct. They ( Beth and Steam ) only screwed up a game that was well started. I'm not in my happy place.

I am totally PO'd I had - on purpose - since the first AE update back in 22 ... I turned *OFF* auto Update, so this was not supposed to happen! I too share your pain and now I have to totally start over, even with my mods! Beth and Steam - SO NOT HAPPY WITH YOU! .. and yes, my AUTO-UPDATE is still *OFF* on Steam .. so this should have NEVER HAPPENED!
