Just wanted to say... BAM! Thanks guys, everything's working fine and I'm experimenting with lots more mods, few at a time. Awesome community, quick replies, can't thank you enough! :smile:

ARGH! Was planning on this being troubleshoot night, all night, but had a roommate I forgot was moving in, had to lend a hand... anyhow! Very true chanchan, and now that I see how convenient that feature is I'll be using it to try and work more of this out! Thanks Camaro, I'll start with that, make sure I have the right install and go from there! Thank you both for your replies, I'll give an update if anything changes!

Hey thanks, and guess what? I just did exactly that as you were posting lol... hadn't installed TES5edit because a guide I read mentioned it as not for inexperienced users. Anyhow this is what it ended on: [00:14] Background Loader: loading "KKSDrBWeightFix.esp"...[00:14] Background Loader: [KKSDrBWeightFix.esp] Loading file[00:14] Background Loader: [KKSDrBWeightFix.esp] File loaded[00:14] Background Loader: [KKSDrBWeightFix.esp] Start processing[00:14] Background Loader: [KKSDrBWeightFix.esp] Adding master "Skyrim.esm"[00:14] Background Loader: [KKSDrBWeightFix.esp] Adding master "Update.esm"[00:14] Background Loader: [KKSDrBWeightFix.esp] Adding master "Dragonborn.esm"[00:14] Background Loader: [Dragonborn.esm] Loading file[00:14] Background Loader: Fatal: <EOSError: System Error. Code: 2.The system cannot find the file specified> So it seems like an issue with dependency on DLC that isn't there? Interestingly, the plugin info on NMM mentions Dawnguard.esm as required, no mention of Dragonborn...? Either way I'm honestly not sure what mod that .esp is associated with, so I'll start by figuring that out!

Thanks in advance for taking a look! So I'm getting CTD right after the Beth logo goes dark. After reading around it seems it's an issue with a missing .esm, or possibly conflicting ones. I'm really, REALLY new to modding, and have been reading up on the proper way to get a modded game working, and have done my best to install mods according to load order, requirements, etc. Obviously I've missed something though, and am praying someone might have some input. The facts: Fresh install, updated and verified (says missing 1 file, but I hear that's normal). Old saves and loose data cleaned out. Fresh NMM install. Fresh SKSE install. Fresh FXAA install. Running NMM and SKSE loader as admin. Have the requisite RAM for my mods. Side note: Did a quick test to check the visuals out initially, with only texture mods, SMIM, skyfalls, and alternate start loaded, and everything worked fine. Re-installed because I read some advice that required a fresh install, added the extra mods below, and that's when the trouble started.

Again, this stuff is mostly over my head, which is why I tried to be very careful and follow all instructions, but obviously I'm missing something... If anyone is feeling helpful, I'll be checking in all night, and can provide any extra info needed. Thanks very much in advance.
