Words can't express! I tried following many examples in the section you pointed at, and it felt relaxing to see it working flawlessly, I really hope for skyrim NIFs to work just like that in the near future, once decoded. Thanks again, it's been really helpful, I really needed the friendly scolding, been trying to learn modelling as fast as possible and got me exhausted for the more logical part it, hence I couldn't even figure out the right wording for an effective google-search. Being used to the free and unbound 2D world and then swiftly into the mathematical 3D modelling world, certainly didn't go unnoticed :(

First of all, I've gotta say that all the modding/modelling/tweaking since the release of Skyrim, made me try 3d modelling for the first time, and it's been fun to learn, also challenging. Sadly, most of the challenge is not coming from the graphical part, but the technical part. Now, I've tried to figure out by myself, but I just can't seem to understand how mesh-editing works, specifically Nifskope. Not looking for something uber-detailed, but at least some steps so that I know which way to go, and practice from there. I love to learn, but not by being clueless, that's just not fun at all. TL;DR: Would anybody be so kind in teaching me the basics of editing meshes? Thanks in advance :) (Edit: I do realize there is information, and I don't want to be repetitive and annoying, but said information is, no offence, so unorganized.)

While I agree with your post, keep the ctd talk away, this is not what people in this topic want to know about (and the 54 pages is no excuse, since there's plenty of posts in all pages saying how this is not a ctd issue)

This is false though, a lot of people have reported never having downloaded the 4gb patch, and still getting a far worse experience, there's also others not having a problem at all, after applying it, not applying it, or downloading the game for the first time, there's just TOO MANY cases to blame it directly on the memory allocation fix (specially since it actually fixed many player's game, and made it playable)

I don't know what could have happened, but if it REALLY didn't download it at this point, don't do it, save your game, don't download today's "patch"

I don't think this is more annoying to piraters than it is to buyers. This is honestly a bad move for them, good thing I kept my 4gb exe copied, somehow I knew i'd get backstabbed like this.

This. Is. Not. A. CTD. Topic.

I'm glad you were able to solve your problem, more people happy is always a good thing, but while you may have triggered the problem by overheating, a lot of people are reporting the crash at low, mid, high, very high temps. Right now out of my 3 computers, my 3 year old laptop is the only one able to run the game without crashing, and it plays it around 80 °C, not exactly cold, considering the Tj.Max is 90°C (if you claim you were playing at 96°C it makes sense you're crashing)

I'd love to know more details about this, what exactly would be happening between the codecs and the game, that makes it crash like that (assuming, theroically, it's the same error)? I'm simply curious, if it's not problem for you to explain briefly. Thanks.

Also, people that are having the CTD, the problem this topic is about is NOT the CTDs, there's another topic for that (and on top of that 4gb patch fixes it), so, sorry if I sound rude, but people please read what the topic is about and stop confusing others.

Same problem here, I also haven't seen an absolute solution from all the tips posted here. Thing is, even though it doesn't add something new to discuss about, I feel like I had to sign in just to express the following: A lot of people, specially in the Bethesda forums are claiming it's an overheating issue, and it pisses me off, because it's clearly not. Tried on 3 different computers, 2 of them are low-end, one of them high-end, the crash happens on one of the low-end ones and the high-end one. Funny thing is the computer it works on perfectly, it's the most inferior of all 3, it gets the highest temperatures, it stresses CPU and GPU the most. Both reaching 80 °C and 75 °C, while the other 2 barely reach 55- to 60-ish. Also gotta mention that other games give me even higher temperatures (F***, even certain Wii games on Dolphin emulator manage that) and I can play them for hours, while Skyrim video shut-down crashes happen every 10-45 mins, average. (yes don't worry, I know the difference between the CTD and the hard crash, unlike some people...) Friends having completely different computer parts are getting the same problem, some others don't, so what can I do but think it's game-related? It's so obvious. A lot of people in this topic are putting their computer-parts to risk by changing stuff around, while it has nothing to do with hardware. As much as it pains some people, I encourage to keep waiting, instead of trying to potentially damaging your computer for the sake of 1 game. Best of luck with this, everyone, hope we get a fix soon. (CPU and GPU of the computer that works ok: Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1ghz ATI Mobility HD Radeon 4650 1gb 4gb ram) Also, 4GB fix was applied to all 3 of them.
