Need help solving random loot crashes.

[gorey666]

At my wits end.

 

Every now and then when i loot a dead body my game crashes. It happens often enough that before i loot a body i make a Quicksave. What's strange is that after i CTD, i can load the same save, and loot the same body and nothing bad happens.

 

I don't understand it. If it were a specific item that crashed my game 100% of the time when i tried to loot it, i could get rid of the mod or fix the item. But it's random.

 

I've run the skyrim performance monitor during a few sessions to see if anything strange was happening when i crashed, and i can't tell anything. I'm not out of system ram or video ram when the CTD happens.

 

This is really starting to get under my skin. I had a problem similar to this with Fallout New Vegas, where if i walked to a different game cell and tried to fast travel the game would CTD. I could fast travel all day long, but as soon as i walked out of my current cell and tried to fast travel, i was back to the desktop in no time flat (with no mods installed). It didn't happen with the release version of FO:NV, it happened on my second playthrough with one of the later patches. Same thing with skyrim. Wasn't like that when i first got the game, and now im back for a replay with the latest patch and i'm crashing half the time i loot stuff.

 

Yes i have a decent amount of mods (70ish), but i'm not convinced it's a mod causing it.

 

I really hope someone else who's had this problem and cured it can help me out. I don't want to quit skyrim like i did FO:NV.

Well, easy way to find out isn't there...

 

- Start a new game with everything you currently have installed and see if you still have the issue, if yes/no;

- no; you current save game is corrupted, probably because reinstall/uninstall of mods or a bad written mod.

- yes; Disable all your mods, start a new game again and check, if yes/no;

- yes; Make sure you uninstalled all your mods (even texture packs). Check your game files using Steam, try again.

- no; Figure out which mod causes this by starting to enable mods/groups of mods until you found it
