Try this and see how that goes... Download this mod and load after any other NPC/Race mod in yoru load order (or just place it as last) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36478/ It's a very clean mod, don't worry. No scripts or nothing but they make combat a hella lot more fun Then in Skyrim set difficulty: Adept Then in SkyTweak go to the tab: Combat where you can set the damage and health multipliers for NPCs. Damage dealt and Damage taken should be at 1.0x on Adept (which you choose) You'll work with these to provide some sort of realistic feeling to how much damage you're taking and dealing. NPC you can tweak the level scaling to make low level zones more difficult... for instance do Low: 60% Medium: 80% Hard: 100% Very Hard: 120%. The default 33% for low level zones in vanilla is a joke... low level enemies do less damage and have less health.

I think your installation order is off... perhaps, or just something not compatible... make sure you read the mod pages of what you install. Also, don't look at your rig... look at Skyrim. The game has limits... It's a 32bit application running under DX9. So basically your rig is way overpower and you will crash at the same limits as someone running a 32bit Windows XP Pro with a 2GB GTX560 on an old Q6600 CPU or something.

Play on adapt too keep health/dmg modifiers on 100% and install combat mods... eg. Enhanced Enemy AI Also game overhauls will help a lot, like Skyrim Redone. SkyTweak will let you modify everything like exactly those settings you mention... you can set them at 100% health and whatever you want for damage. This overwrites the game difficulty settings tho, but you shouldn't move that off Adept anyway. Use mods to make the game harder as the in game difficulty settings is just meh.

that's bull... the newest drivers are far better with the newer games... they just perform terrible with older games like Skyrim, mainly with d3d9.dll files. DirectX9 is old, support will become less and less of a priority. Compared drivers 314.22 and 320.18 not too long ago in metro LL and I got 7% improvement in FPS, that is quite a bit.

NVidia gtx7xx series is not compatible with ENB due to drivers, which NVidia has not sorted out yet. AMD in general has issues with ENB You don't need a beast CPU for gaming.... Core i5 is fast enough, almost any model (my 2nd gen i5 2500K runs on 15% tops with Skyrim...............) You don't need over 3GB of VRAM for Skyrim but I do suggest you get a 3 or 4GB model because of other games and soon to be released games. You can probably grab a GTX670 or 680 real cheap now, and the GTX680 has the exact same chip as the GTX770. No matter what you do, get a 64bit OS, preferably Win7 and 8GB RAM with decent speed (1600 Mhz+)

Honestly I think NMM is installing them "somewhere" ... can you open one of your downloaded files and do a system search for it? And check NMM config to see where it's pointing to

You can only run 1 ENB at a time, not two :smile: And either one will cost you the same performance hit... they look quite different tho... so just try both and keep the one you like most. You need to remove all files from one ENB before installing the other (files have the same name but are very different inside!). It's manual installation only, so take care. And about your 60 FPS... I run a heavy modded game + ENB on a GTX680 overclocked to the moon and I'm happy to still have ~45 FPS left in outside world... so, performance hit is huge, between 15 and 60% FPS I would guess. But my game is very heavy modded and I run a very heavy ENB (non-Nexus)... so with lighter modding you'd probably be better off.

don't clean files unless you have to because of issues related to dirty files (which are actually quite rare)... you can solve a million + 1 problems simply by reordering your mods so they don't conflict the wrong way, but the correct mod that should win the conflict, wins. BOSS even says that Skyrim.esm contains dirty edits... which is correct, but those are edits made on purpose so the game doesn't break (lazy solution ala Bethesda) and BOSS recommends cleaning them, which is bad. Probably, if you didn't tick the box to make a backup of the files, you need to redownload the Skyrim official files and reinstall your cleaned mods and things will start working again... Then we can go ahead and try and solve your CTD issues ;)

^ miracle should happen to this post... it's old and generally points people in the wrong direction to solve their crashes. Thanks google for making this post your number 1 hit. PLEASE EVERYONE just open a new topic on the forum with your crashes and contain these things Log from BOSS (unrecognized/recognized plugins) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6/Your installed texture replacers with their resolution (those don't have a plugin but can cause CTD)Your system specs + OS that you're runningYour additional mods like ENB, SweetFX, FNIS, etcGeneral information about your crash like; where (inside, outside world), does it happen at a certain event (getting close to city XYZ), can you repeat the crash, does the crash happen at a certain time, is there anything else weird in your game (infinite loadscreens, textures missing, NPC's broken, quests broken)Do you have the crashes as well when you start a new game or notDid you uninstall/reinstall a lot of mods on your current save gameDid you recently add mods, what happens when you disable themand so on... PAPYRUS LOG (=not a crash log!) is not going to help you resolve the crashes in 99% of the cases.

All skin textures fall under adult because they all show nudity... but that doesn't mean they have to... Those skin textures and UNP body have options for underwear... You can change your preferences to show all content to get mods which might be tagged adult while they have options for not being adult :P Oops, just checked and SG Female does not have it... so you'd need additional mod if you don't want that

LOL... some master of trolls is on the job :biggrin: Easiest way to find out is download tes5edit and load all your mods in there.... get it here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25859/ When open, expand Skyrim.esm and scroll down to Shout... then find your hodor shout and check fields... you'll see which mod modified the name on the right of it... :wink: lemme know which one, I'd love to meme the crap out of it If Shout doesn't show you properly, you can check under Non-Player Character (actor) and find Delphine to see what changed her name.

You cant give Skyrim more RAM since you run on 64bit ;) so whatever I wrote up there doesn't apply to you... Skyrim can use max 3.1GB RAM and will CTD when that is reached (whatever your system is - so you have a lot of overkill for Skyrim)... If you wanna check it out, get Skyrim Performance Monitor (here, from Nexus) and configure it to launch the game through your launcher (like SKSE) and if using ENB/SweetFX or so, make sure you tick the box for it in the setup. Then play the game until crash and check resource usage. Do you happen to also have Skyrim HD installed? If you have a large overhaul like that installed (which are 4k) install their lite versions (mostly 2K) that solves a lot of issues... As for SFO (Skyrim Flora thingy)... happen to have installed the optional 8K pines? Switch to 4K pines or stick to the default... very heavy stuff... If you wanna mod a lot, don't pick the ultra/mega hi res versions of textures, you'll be severely limited in your mods if you do that (everything in 1K/2K textures looks a LOT better than just a few things in 4K/8K)... playing on 1920x1080 resolution or multi-monitor? How high did you set your AA settings? See if lowering some settings like that helps. Anyway, goodnight ;)

Don't know... hard to tell when you install so many mods at once...! (it's a new system right or how... because first post says new system and another one says you spend weeks getting them....?) First try this, just to speed things up... so you don't have to look for opponent each and every time... Start new game and exit helgen... get yourself killed somewhere... issue persists? Right... good. Now kill yourself with console by typing: player.kill ...hopefully you still have the issue when you do that... if you do then great! Start a new game again, this time WITHOUT any mods... exit Helgen, make a save game that you will use for testing... if console killing yourself does not trigger this behavior make a save game in a place where you can get yourself killed easily. Now type console again to kill yourself, or get yourself killed... game should work normally. If it does then start activating mods by group (eg. All armor mods or whatever suits you - take care with mods that depends on each other) and test again... you continue this until you start to have the issue... then you stop adding mods and start to deactivate the 1st group you added so you can find a conflict (if any) until you end with either 1 group or 2 groups and this issue... then you start to do the same process by deactivating half of 1 group and check, then half the other... until eventually you found the mod(s) that causes this... Then see if it's solvable... Or just drop the mod and look for something similar. It's important you do this on a new game, so you don't mess up your real save game...

Then you have something in your mods... either conflict or bad mod... BOSS is easy to use, install and then simply run it (start menu -> BOSS) ... it will check your plugins, checks for issues, and attempts to sort what it can sort.... It will show you want it doesn't know and those need to be manually sorted. It's a guideline - not a solution. But it may solve problems or show you some warnings on your mods from what it knows.... I can see some problems on your master files if the above is your load order... Skyrim.esm Update.esm Dargonborn.esm Hearhtfires.esm Dawnguard.esm Should be Skyrim.esm Update.esm Dawnguard.esm Hearhtfires.esm Dargonborn.esm But I don't think that would cause it... Also the Unofficial Patches solve a lot of things, but they should be enabled from game start to work properly afaik (didn't check for a long while). Do you happen to have also texture replacers installed? Too many too high res textures also cause CTD, mostly random and always always in exterior world only and never only inside. If you have texture replacers, would you mind to post them here? (just which ones and how high res)... Also what OS are you running? 32bit perhaps? Can also be you need to tell the OS to give applications more memory... if 32-bit OS do this ...(not for 64bit!) and only for Windows XP Professional (requires editing in boot.ini, this command below will not work on it!), Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Open command prompt (cmd.exe) and type this, followed by enter; bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072 Then reboot your system.... this will tell Windows to free up 1 GB more space for applications that are able to use it (and Skyrim is). By default this is 2048MB on a 32bit OS which is not very sufficient for a modded game. Don't set this to any other value (3072 is max value, leaving only 1GB for the OS)

You have SFO non basic version and combined with another mod that does something with trees (either alters the LOD or edits the meshes) If you wanna use other tree mods next to SFO you need either; SFO Basic version 1.81 or; Compatibility patch for the other mod There's no other way... EDIT: and I just read now you already solved it.

yup... those values seem to be for higher ugrids value (like 7 or something) ... dunno if that works with your current value 5. Anyway I wouldn't suggest to use anything else but 5... I got z-fighting too, major pain, really hate it while it's only on a very few locations (mainly mountains at whiterun) but since it's so damn central and you come there a lot it's really disturbing :\ Not sure if that could be the cause of it... I assume you have all your in game sliders maxed ( do check )

dunno if it will work, but try and reinstall these; http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

With those specs you don't really need performance friendly anymore... Go try out this one: Project ENB - Cinematic Preset ... it's heavy but looks good. RealVision is heavier even and looks completely different color wise... ENB's are easy to install/uninstall.. just make sure you remove all installed files from the Skyrim folder before installing the next as they are not compatible with eachother's files - even if the file name is identical.

cant see anything in there that may cause this... your distances in LOD are greater than mine... that could might as well cause it (too high value resetting itself to something low or I dunno).. for your reference, these are mine; Skyrim.ini SkyrimPrefs.ini

nevermind, this is not runtime related... <removed the post> you could check event viewer to verify if you like... if anything like that fails it should be noted there for tesv.exe... but I think it's somewhere in your mods...

I was not trying to invalidate your efforts, in fact I more than welcome any effort you're making because you cannot educate people enough that are just starting with modding... I guess you know I hang out on these forums quite a bit (mainly on tech sup forum and mod sup) and I every day see so many posts about people seemingly random clicking links and installing whatever they find on the other side because it was mentioned somewhere by someone that it's good and needed. It takes a lot of time and frustration to deal with a broken game (not from me, but from the person new to modding) which could be prevented by reading carefully the mod page and not assuming what they read is gotta be right, just because they are new in modding Skyrim. It's not necessarily the person who posted the links fault at all... it's mostly the lack of patience to take the time to actually understand what you're doing by adding mods. I just like to point out that people really have to take whatever time it takes to read through a mod and understand it.. I was in no way intending to offend you :( sorry if you took read it that way... my English can be quite blunt, I'm not native and sometimes don't really know how to bring it right (and I write it during work, so not always have the time to write it down exactly how I want it). Anyway keep it up

Inactive plugin =/= inactive files when it comes with loose files they are STILL loaded by the game... so they can still cause issues. You have a lot of plugins I don't know (most are in unrecognized list) and you also have a missing master (ApachiiHairFemale.esm)... Cant pinpoint the problem... I would start by disabling all those unrecognized plugins and see if you can somehow manage to find the one causing issues. Also a clean save... what do you mean? Your current save after a "clean save procedure" or when you start a completely new game from scratch? There's no such things as a clean save in Skyrim ... your best bet is a new game for testing out the problem maker because it rules out save game corruption and during "testing stuff out" you don't have to be afraid you somehow manage to ruin your real game. Keep good backup's of your load order and files while going through your mods.

Well, ENB will be hard on your system, but best way is to try... These come with Performance options next to all out performance hungry settings... - Project ENB http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20781/ - RealVision ENB http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30936/ And if those performance options are too heavy, you can try this: - Ultimate Lighting Overhaul (based on SweetFX, which is also a post processor like ENB): http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37846/ which should be used with Realistic Lighting Overhaul and has a very light impact on performance (max ~10% FPS loss on it's best settings) Read mod pages for requirements, tho RealVision's requirements for textures can be ignored by you (that will be too heavy) ... only you'll need the Lighting mod and Weather mods (RLO + CoT)...

Correct, they are not *new* armors and weapons... so, they don't need to run through reproccer (they cant, they are textures only ;)) they just replace the textures of the vanilla armors and weapons... Only new additions, not replacers, need to be made reproccer compatible...

@LargeStyle.. Those listed mods above are fine, but they come with more instructions... simply clicking -> download -> install & forget is not going to work for the majority of those mods and some of those can cause major issues when installed on an already modded game because they are very basic and should be installed before anything else, require patches to be compatible with other mods (eg. No stretching together with SMIM), and some are mods that should be installed at the end of installing mods or they'll crash your game (deadly spell impacts for instance is not tolerant at all with other texture replacers... even uninstalling the mod while any spell impact is in your screen ruins your save game). It's better to stick with lists of tested installations and orders of install as provided on STEP, or this thread might turn into a chaos since it's meant for people with no to little experience with modding... they might just click and install things randomly simply because they are listed here :wink: IMO these are the only really required mods and should be used for main game and each DLC that someone has. The rest is simply optional to taste/to already installed mods or going to be installed mods (eg. No more ugly bronze shine is not needed when you use a high quality skin texture replacer... whiterun lighting fix might conflict with other lighting mods and is not needed when using one of those...)
