Myriad issues with Skyrim and its mods. Everything has gone to hell.

[AdloraHealer]

I am so sorry about the vague title, but really, how do I even begin here? EVERYTHING that could possibly go wrong in my setup has, and it's relentlessly and gradually gotten worse and worse and worse.

 

So, this started a few days ago when I noticed my game would crash when I tried to fast travel to dragonsreach. So I tried to ditch my gear, go to the testing hall, and with the help of the "No Boring Sleep/wait mod, wait for 31 days. My game would consistently crash after waiting 10- 15 hours.

 

Now, when your game is so monumentally f*cked up that you can't manage a clean save, you are in trouble. So I tried a clean re-install. I don't like steam's way of doing things and fortunately I have a backup of a clean Skyrim game folder. Everything in the "common" folder and down. It contains Skyrim, MO, LOOT, Wrye, TES5Edit, and all the masters have been cleaned.

 

I wipe out my entire steam directory, reinstall steam, unzip my backup and proceed to set up MO with all its little programs and pointing everything to the proper directories.

 

And then steam fails to notice that I have Skyrim installed. After repeating the above installation process numerous times, then finally caving and doing it with Steam to no avail, I realize that for some weird reason all I had to do was run the launcher, click Install, and watch as nothing happened except the computer suddenly realized I had Skyrim, install turned to Play, and I headdesk-ed.

 

I point everything in MO to the right directories, install SKSE and the ENB patch, run LOOT, it works, install all my mods, LOOT again, Wrye bash, until everything's green, fiddle with things until LOOT, MO and Wrye all agree that nothing is wrong with my load order, make a bashed patch... and then I go to make a PerMa patch.

 

I know PerMa is supposed to take a while, and I'm used to it taking an hour or two. But after 8 hours and with the PaMa window gone black, I call it crashed, end it, and start again. I waste several days repeating this process. I wait for longer than a cross-country road trip, the window goes black, I exit. To oblivion with every part of this. I have NO idea what has gone so horribly, catastrophically wrong. I have done everything I know to ensure my load order is stable.

 

Here is my massive (190 plugins) load order. Maybe there's a glaring incompatibility I'm missing somewhere. Or maybe the gods just hate me. Could go either way. I'm begging you, please, someone out there who is smarter than me, help me fix this before my computer blows up.

Hi,.

 

First..what load order?...unless it's an invisible link, i don't see it...:)

 

Have you tried SUM , Using MO i could not get PaMa to run, but when using SUM the patch completes. IN SUM go to the "Options" and set the memory to 1024.

actually if everything that could go wrong went wrong you'd be out a computer.

 

do what camaro suggested he knows what he's talkin about and can help a lot

Thank you camaro. i have no idea why, but PaMa made a patch when I went through SUM, and it only took a couple hours. I do not know why SUM works, or why PaMa no longer works when it did before. I hope this will consistently fix the issue should it come up again.
