SkyRe CTD PLEASE HELP!

[jcurrier1987]

I recently started using SkyRe, and while I absolutely LOVE the mod and can't imagine playing without it now, it makes my game unplayable. Random CTD for no reason; it first happened when entering Dragonsreach in Whiterun, but there really isn't any pattern to it at all. Sometimes it happens when entering menus, various buildings, and even as I'm just randomly running around in the wilds. I was running very few mods alongside it, trying to stick to things that would compliment SkyRe and were even recommended or claimed specifically to be compatible with SkyRe. There were no BOSS errors, aside from the official Bethesda masters with dirty edits, which I dare not touch.

 

After deactivating and reactivating mod after mod, I eventually just got frustrated and restored a clean vanilla backup. I then tried SkyRe again, and was even MORE cautious about which mods to install, trying to keep it to a bare minimum. I still get random CTD for no apparent reason.

 

I would very much like to use SkyRe, but I've literally spent two days just trying to duplicate and correct the CTD. I'm out of ideas. I can't even share a BOSS log because I have a clean vanilla installation at the moment.

 

PLEASE HELP!

[jcurrier1987]

My best guess as to which mod was conflicting is Better Vampires, even though the CTD continued when it was disabled. This is another mod that I would VERY MUCH like to use if at all possible.

 

Other mods that I had installed include Frostfall, Climates of Tamriel, Deadly Dragons, and the unofficial patches. None of which had any effect on the CTD when disabled. The few other mods I had were mainly craftable/cosmetic, and should have been compatible. Things like Bandoliers - Bags and Pouches, Enhanced Blood Textures, Cloaks of Skyrim....

 

Also Enchantable Backstab, Realistic Ragdolls and Force, Two Rings, Circlets with Hoods and Circlets with Hooded Robes. Also Dance of Death - A Killmove Mod, which I could probably live without if I had to.

[jcurrier1987]

Perhaps I phrased this poorly, or went about seeking the wrong kind of help. Forget the CTD issue, because I have a clean install now. So can someone give me some assistance with getting the mods I want to work, or tell me which ones will likely be incompatible?

 

I absolutely MUST have the following:

SKSE

SkyUI

SkyRe

Community Uncapper

 

I would LIKE these as well:

Better Vampires

Deadly Dragons

Bandoliers - Bags and Pouches

Enhanced Blood Textures

Frostfall

Climates of Tamriel

Immersive Armors

Immersive Weapons

Realistic Force and Ragdolls

Dual Wield Parry (w/ animation file)

Dance of Death - A Killmove Mod

Cloaks of Skyrim

Enchantable Backstab

 

Can someone PLEASE help me figure out which not to use, if any?

[jcurrier1987]

Well, then. Vanilla Skyrim it is.

 

Thanks for all the help, guys.

I posted a reply, but forums were down today (in case you didn't notice) and apparently my reply got removed.

 

SkyRe is compatible with all those mods. SkyRe doesn't cause CTD unless you didn't use the Reproccer correctly (but then it CTD at the Bethesda logo due to missing master). SkyRe should be loaded as low as possible in load order to avoid conflicts as it's a sensitive mod.

 

Mods that change things that SkyRe changed (like your backstab mod) should be loaded after SkyRe, but you have to check in tes5edit if it doesn't change other things as well which could break your game. Mods loaded after SkyRe have to be absolutely clean and not change things back to vanilla because that will cause problems. That's very important.

 

For your armor mods (IA/IW) you need ReProccer patches in case you use a SkyRe version after 1.0 (Dawnguard or Dawnguard+Dragonborn). I'd suggest these: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/29375/

 

Obviously you need the newest version of Skyrim, you also need ReProccer, ReProccer patches for any custom armor/weapon mods, Uncapper and SKSE. Depends a bit on which SkyRe version you're trying to install (old versions do not require ReProccer for instance)

[jcurrier1987]

Thanks for the reply! Feels like I waited forever for a reply lol

 

Unfortunately, I was already doing all of that, to the best of my knowledge. I used BOSS and even double checked to make sure my load order was correct. Everything loaded after SkyRe was clean; in fact, the ONLY files not cleaned were the Bethesda masters, which I am reluctant to touch. After having issues the first time and restoring to vanilla from backups, I didn't use the ReProccer because I didn't use ANY weapon or armor mods. I still had random CTD with no rhyme or reason. I'm at a complete loss.

 

I am fairly new at this, but I've been EXTREMELY cautious, and can't for the life of me figure out what's causing the CTD.

 

Idk if it's relevant, but the CTD doesn't start until I get to whiterun. The first time it happens in a new game is upon entering Dragonsreach, but after that it's completely random. It doesn't CTD every time I enter Dragonsreach, just the first. And after that, it happens all the time. Entering a menu, entering a different building, even just out running around in the woods.

 

I'm so infatuated with SkyRe that I don't really want to play without it, but I'm reluctant to install anything until I have this sorted out. I'm still sitting here with a clean vanilla install, and I've uninstalled absolutely everything else. NMM, BOSS, TES5Edit, etc. I want to start from scratch this time.

 

Any more thoughts?

[jcurrier1987]

As for the compatibility patches, I DID use those the first time. I specifically picked IA and IW because that patch was suggested to me and it had check boxes for those gear collections upon installation.

 

Is it possible that it's a problem with my PC and not necessarily the mods? Vanilla Skyrim doesn't give me any problems, but it's just a thought.

 

I'm completely out of ideas.

[jcurrier1987]

I think the most likely explanation is that I'm a noob, and while I THINK I'm doing everything right and following all the instructions correctly, I'm actually screwing something up at some point. Problem is, I have no way of knowing WHAT because I THINK I did everything right. If I made a mistake, I wouldn't even know it.

[loki1944]

I wouldn't say it's you necessarily screwing things up. I can't get those mods to work stable after almost a year of trying.

I have been having this same problem and I just crashed when trying to take out a Tanto (An item I believe was added by SkyRe). I had previously turned off uncapper because I didn't feel I needed. Glad to see it might be the reason I was crashing. I'll try it next time I go on though! :dance:
