Uncumber Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Hey there everyone, hmmm, where to start!Alright, I had arrroound 125-150 mods installed using mod organizer.. I've been playing Skyrim a lot over the past few months and it's actually been running smoothly, I've just got up to level 50, the highest I've ever had a character, without too many CTDs, I've had a few, but it hasn't been bad.Now, I don't know why, but the last couple of weeks I have seemed to be having more and more crashes.. I've unticked mods off MO in the hope it will make things better, but they seemed to just get more frequent. The last couple of days I've been spending literally hours trying to get myself out of sticky repeated-CTD spots. The last straw was earlier today when I really thought I'd fixed my game by narrowing my mods down to around 30-50, my FPS was loads better, but then I found I'd got a dark/shadowy 'circle/ring' around my character that constantly follows me around. I've been trying to fix that problem for the past few hours and haven't found any solution - apart from removing all my shadows, which I'm simply not going to do, as I've already slaughtered the appearance of my game from removing all these 100-or-so pretty mods >.<However! I'm having a load of fun playing the game, my issue is that I caaaan't simply re-install and lose this level 50, SO much time and work has gone in to this character! But I am prepared to play with virtually no mods now.. I just can't be bothered to have this hassle again :sad:My main problem now is - even on MO with the vanilla-no-mods ticked profile, the game CTD's before I even get to the main menu. (it CTD's straight after the 'Bethesda' logo) I have no idea why that would be, there's hardly anything in my real skyrim data folder - there's SBW, ASIS and an ENB, that's literally it. - So.. what on earth can I do to keep my character? --- In summary - Game is playable now with mods, but having frequent crashes. I have improved my FPS a lot by removing A LOT of mods, I may (im not sure) have fixed the CTDs, but now I've got this seemingly un-fixable dark shadow following my character around.- I'm Happy to remove mods, but the game doesn't want to start without them. - I could re-install, but I really just can't face the prospect of losing this character as it's taken literally months to level up.-also, my PC is very, very capable of running Skyrim on best graphics, it's a brand new expensive PC. Well over any system requirement problems. I'm 150% sure it's not an issue with my PC/Graphics Card etc. -SO I guess my real question is : can I either re-install the game or remove all my mods, whilst still keeping the same save/character? edit: I just reticked all the mods I unticked before this shadow problem, and the shadow is still there, aaargh I don't understand! ---I will happily post screenshots of my MO, Skyrim, or data directory(s) if needed. Literally anything to try and sort this out.. I really just want to get back to playing Skyrim.I'll also really happily provide any more specific information, obviously I've taken quite a few steps doing lots of things, I just didn't want to write them aaall out here in the first post in case they were unnecessary. Any help would be so, so appreciated - thank you very much for reading.Uncumber. Edited January 18, 2014 by Uncumber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
