Ozimandias, Can you please double check that you are using Vilja 3.02? The "tic tac" message was from Vilja 3.00/3.01 and should not appear in 3.02. If you are using NMM, and it's telling you that you are using 3.02, then perhaps the installation wasn't correct. Since you are concerned with the Solstheim add-on and cosmetic patches, I would recommend a complete re-installation: 1 - Take back things you have given Vilja. Save and exit. 2 - Deactivate Vilja and all related esp patches. 3 - Load game and wait 52 ingame hours. Save and exit. 4 - Uninstall Vilja. If using NMM, remove the mod from NMM also. 5 - Re-download and re-install Vilja. 6 - Go through the first part of Vilja's quest 7 - Talk to Vilja "traveling together" -> "off topic - configuration and setting" -> "We have already done (some) of your quests" (this is optional, since you just started a new playthrough, you may not need to go through this and the following step) 8 - Talk to Beata in the Bannered Mare, go through her options carefully, she will allow you to skip ahead Vilja's quests. 9 - re-activate addons and patches for Vilja Regarding CTDs, as WesSeH suggests, I also believe it may be because Skyrim is hitting the memory heap limit. To monitor the use of memory heap, please check out Sheson's memory log (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50471). And adjust your memory heap size by using SSME from the link WesSeH provided. I am not sure what you are asking about turning on all papyrus functions.
