Interesting... I'll have to check that out. I'll backup the current game files, and then replace everything with my old game files tomorrow, using MO this time around, and report back.

Well, with the first install (the late night one), I downloaded Skyrim from Steam for the .exe, and then I replaced all of the game files with my old backed up game files from December. The game was working fine until I tried updating some of the mods. That's when I deleted everything and started over from scratch again yesterday. So now, everything is brand new. I've been going through my list of old mods and installing the latest versions of everything straight from Nexus (not using anything from my backup folder). This is where the issue is with my old save files (which come with the fresh Steam download of the game). Anyway, I started a new game. And I'm sort of enjoying it, although I'm missing all my awesome equipment. Not sure if it's worth it at this point trying to use my old save game. I really just use Skyrim for exploring at this point since I've done literally everything there is to do in the game. I'll look into MO, though. Thanks for the tip.

Just tried cleaning my saves to no avail. And I have made sure I am using the correct skeleton. Thanks for the save cleaner tool though. That'll come in handy.

Yes.

Game launches fine from SKSE loader, and through Steam. When at main menu, trying to load a previous save I get a CTD as soon as I hit the "enter" key to load the game. Desktop: i5 4670 3.4-3.8Ghz GTX 770 2GB 8GB DDR3 1600 100GB free space Game is in the standard Steam location. Latest version. No DLC. Using latest NMM, SKSE, BOSS, and LOOT. Before I get to the BOSS log, some additional info: last time I played Skyrim was in December. I deleted the game from my computer, and have since installed Windows 8.1. Before deleting the game from my computer (back in December), I copied all the game files I had (I had about 65 mods installed at the time), and backed it up on my non-OS drive. Last night, I downloaded Skyrim from Steam, and copied all my game files from back in December. The game worked fine. When I checked on NMM, most of my mods had been updated in the 8 months since I had downloaded them, so I went ahead and updated all of my mods. That's when the game stopped working correctly. My eye texture wasn't loading, and most of my armor wasn't loading anymore. I was tired and it was late, so I deleted everything with a plan to start over from scratch today. And that's what I've been doing all day. I downloaded Skyrim from Steam, downloaded SKSE, NMM, BOSS, and LOOT. Downloaded some mods, and launched the game to see that everything was working before continuing to repopulate my game with my old mods. I haven't been able to get past the main menu without CTD (except when starting a new game). Now, I've tried my best to go through my old mod folder on my backup drive, and match all the mods that were items, armor, et cetera, so I wouldn't have to deal with the error when loading a game that some of the items in the save were no longer installed. I did that, but I'm still getting that error, but I don't believe that's cause to crash to desktop when trying to load that save file. I figured that my save file wouldn't be affected by any of the weather or lighting mods I used to use, or the ENB, since that's no longer installed either. Here's the BOSS log (I see the update.esm message asking to use TES5Edit, but I had that same error message when I last played the game, and the game never CTD'd):
