I'm so fed up

[RedHeadAngel]

I'm officially fed up. After trying to figure out this issue,

my game has now completely stopped working. I don't even know what the hell happened. I was trying to go into the game to test a theory I had that might have been able to fix the above issue, but when I tried to start a new game, I selected "New," and the game crashed. It did it 3 times.

I have done everything right. I have never installed a single mod without reading the description top to bottom, I have never used the incorrect version of a mod or its requirements, and most importantly, I have always tested a mod thoroughly before deciding to keep it. Words cannot describe how pissed I am right now. I have put almost 4 months into this, and now it's broken.

If my only option is to delete everything and start all the way over, then I'm done. I will not waste another second of my life completely reinstalling everything just to have this happen again. Life is too short.

Go into your mod manager and turn off all mods and then start a new game and play until you exit the cave then save and exit and turn all mods back on and load your game.  I have to do this sometimes.  And remember you can type showracemenu in the console to customize your character after.

I don't know why your game is not starting anymore. to find out this we need a crashlog or at least a little bit more information but maybe for your original problem i have a solution.

If you are using Vortex and you change skin and/or skin overlays you should do a "Purge mods" / "Deplyoy" and "Sort" before you start a new game (or use a Save). As i understand it is there some problems with how Vortex handles mod's especially overlays what is under some circumstancess gives problems together with Racemenu/Presets. When you are purging mods you "delete" every possible connection (file/logical) between mods from the Vortex brain. After 3 weeks search this have fixed my problem. I was also changing to a new skin - maybe this have fixed it- but i think it was the purge.

As i was starting again with AE i had also a problem that the game was crashing several times with or without SKSE/mods. I was downloading/installing LOOT and let it run (Vortex LOOT implementation is grab for fail search). Here you can see several errors that should be fixed before you start. Mostly are this some failures in the DLC but also in the main file. For this you need SSEdit autoclean. Very simple to use.

 

Good luck.
