Skyrim crashes while talking to Clavicus Vile

[djjohnjarvis]

This bug with Sofia was fixed way back at the beginning of June in the first week of release. You must be running a very outdated version, you need to update the mod and it will fix this issue.

Thank you for posting this fix, I had the exact same problem and found this thread via Google.

 

The Sofia mod was causing the CTD and the update fixed it. Saved me a tonne of time!

I notice you posted this somewhat recently. Just got back into playing Skyrim and ran into the exact problem you are having. You click the Clavicus Vile statue to talk and get immediate crash to desktop.

After disabling several different things, one by one, I finally found the cause and notice in your list of mods, that (( Sofia, the fully voiced funny follower)) is listed.

Disabling/removing that mod fixed the issue for me. While the author did great work. Sofia is connected to quests and meant to respond to them and it is causing issue in my game and possibly your own.

 

Hope this helps anyone else out there having this issue.

 

I am also having this issue, but I dont use Sofia. I can post my load order, but I cant figure out the problem.

 

EDIT: I also use BOSS and it doesnt pick up any issues regarding this.

Other followers have been hit with the same bug in the past. The two I know of that were affected but are now fixed are Vilja and Professor Benjamin Doon. You should check that you have the very latest version if you use those mods. Vilja was affected quite recently with the 4.0 update I think so even if it feels like you recently updated you should check that you have 4.01 or later which fixes it.

Would Corners of Skyrim also cause this?

 

Edit: No it doesnt. Could someone look at my load order and find the problem I dont know a lot about skyrim modding yet. And it crashes when I stay in Haemar's Cavern for more than 2 minutes.

Just got this problem. I have UFO - Ultimate followers overhaul, so you, guys, talking about follower comments causing crashes gave me an idea.

I simply left the dungeon (exit is behind the statue, lever is to the right of the door). Then asked my follower to wait right outside the dungeon, returned to statue everything was ok. That way you don't have to turn off any mods.

Probably, it's even enough to ask the follower to wait just far enough from the statue so he or she wouldn't make their comments.

 

In your case, gameassassin06, it's most probably FCO - Follower Commentary Overhaul.esp=1

I'm having this issue in a vanilla game.

Zero mods, fresh install...quick achievement run.

 

I talk to clavicus, the dog joins him in the statue then ctd.

I checked local files in steam..not really sure what else to do as I'm not using any mods.

 

 

Edit - Fixed. I told Barbos to stop following me.

It seems this quest has issues with followers that interact with clavicus like the posts above me stated.

I also encount this ctd error however I didn't install "sofia" custom voice follower.

In my case, I created custom voice follower by CK and created each dialogue quest and inputted each "Function Name" by "GetIsID" on CKs topic windows for set the voice type.

I have felt this is reason so changed this parameter from "GetIsID" to "GetInVoiceType" on all settings.

After this I could activate object without ctd.

If happened ctd after install custom voice, it may this is reason.
