I can't believe it, but I want to report 1 full week without a SINGLE CTD, purple/black texture or error. I've even ADDED a couple mods since the thread started since the game was so stable for 48 hours. After properly installing ENBoost and tweaking the .ini (from last post), I have resolved my issues and REALLY hope that this short-lived thread can help others!

I just wanted to say that for the last couple of hours I've been playing CTD-free by utilizing ENBoost and tweaking the enblocal ini to my satisfaction. Here's my enblocal settings if it helps anyone else with 4gb graphics cards...

That's some really good input. I disabled those other 2 mods and still got random CTD's so I turned them back on. I can play for about 10-15 minutes and then no matter what I'm doing it will CTD. I could be walking outdoors where there's virtually no enemies aside from some wolves 50ft away and then BAM, CTD. Or, like a few minutes ago before checking this thread again, I was in the Riften Jail sneaking around. I literally found a spot to hide and wasn't moving at all; just watching a guard and then BAM, CTD. So indoors, outdoors, NPC/enemy spawns, none of it seems to matter. The game just gives up after 10-15minutes of play time so I'm constantly F5ing and just firing the game back up :(

Excellent info! I'm going to deactivate Immersive Creatures and Wet+Cold....I can live without them for now. And yeah, Ugridstoload=9 was beautiful but I had to go back to 5 due to CTD's there...and yes, I started a whole new game ;)

***Issues completely fixed. Skyrim has been CTD-free since the date of my last post on this thread.*** Hey guys; first off THANK YOU for reading this. I will be as descriptive as possible as to my issues regarding my Skyrim experience. I have been installing mods for TES since 2003. I have a VERY firm understanding of how mods, load order, LOOT, NMM etc etc work but I am NOT a guru of everything which is why I am here... MY ISSUE(S): I have near 100 mods installed and have followed (as meticulously as possble) all of the install order/patch/load order/compatibilities lists SUPER closely. Now, I am getting random CTD's while playing. Sometimes I can't load a quick save after and have to resort to loading an autosave or manual save. Also, as a secondary issue, Skyrim seems to be unable to access all of my VRAM (despite SKSE ini tweak) and will load purple/black textures randomly which is fixed by saving and reloading at main menu. MY PC: Windows 10, i7-4790k, 2 way GTX 970's, 500gb SSD, 16gb 1866 RAM, 850w PSU. Only a slight overclock on GPU's, doesn't affect other games.

ahhhh looting the crates in balmora :) memories...I remember when I first started playing that's what I did thinking "I'm so dang sneaky" and I'd get so excited when I'd find an exclusive potion in a crate

I wanted to pick Ald-Ruhn so bad because of the awesome Manors in Skar, but it just doesn't have the same flair that Balmora has...gotta love the one-stop-shopping!

If by cheating you mean RP-experience-breaking stuff like stealing, then buying some cheap soul gems and either soul trap spell or scrolls is the way to go. Trapping rats and nix hounds may seem trivial, but they can net some serious gold for low level characters! 400 gold for a rat in a common gem or 800 gold for a guar in a common gem! Visit the pawn shops often and always snatch up gems and soul trap EVERYTHING! Happy hunting :)

Been playing Morrowind since GOTY. Morrowind, while having an inferior combat and physics engine while having a much better UI and travel system, is imo 3x more immersive on its own than Oblivion. With the total sum of mods for both games out there today (including a VERY complete library of high poly models for almost every object in the game and texture replacers that exceed the stock textures of Oblivion), Morrowind vs. Oblivion is "6 one way and half-a-dozen the other". I'm running 100's of mods on Morrowind and about 50+ mods on Oblivion and with them both tricked all the way out it is truly for me just "Do I want to experience Vvardenfell or do I want to experience Cyrodill?" My advice to new Morrowind players is: take your time and really think about all the necessary things that need to be changed. There WILL be a mod for EVERYTHING! After that, download 100's of mods that simply add to the awesomeness of TES:III world.
