I've tried to get the order right

[Balloran]

its wrong (^;

 

the unofficial patches go Immediately after their Main;

i.e.

update.esm

unofficial Skyrim Patch

Dawnguard.esm

unofficial dawnguard patch

etc.

 

Run LOOT to help you reset the load order.

I did try LOOT but the order it gave me was completely different to the sticky thread about load orders, and didn't change anything

[DavidBowman]

I've moved the Unofficial Patch under Update.esm but that didn't help either

[Balloran]

LOOT isnt' perfect it just makes it a lot easier. order your mods in groups based on what they are for, like all armor & weapon mods together, etc, you can check out grandbulwark's awesome mod skyrim stability project http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32363/? as well and S.T.E.P

http://wiki.step-project.com/Main_Page or even skyrim stability guide: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50244/?

 

question: SMIM-Merged-NoDragonborn does this mean you're supposed to have all other DLCs but dragonborn or No DLCs?

 

i suggest something similar to what grandbulwark said; based on your comments you can go around in Solitude which has less vegetation per cell than riverwood, which is open to the rest of tamriel instead of being its own zone. if reducing Anisotropic Filtering won't help than you need to reduce some of your features to see if this solves your issue. may i suggest Make a COPY of a save, then temporarily disabling these:

EnhancedLightsandFX.esp=1
ELFX - Exteriors.esp=1
DYNAVISION Dynamic Depth of Field.esp=1

GloriousGrass.esp=1

 

just to see if it helps if it does, try enabling them 1 at a time to see which hosed you, not keep enabling them, just enable one, play, if its good, disable it and enable another, etc.

also are you running an ENB? and just as an fyi Boris updated the d3d.dll file last week.

[DavidBowman]

I've been using RealVision ever since I started modding Skyrim, last time I updated it (manually, not sure if it's automatic via NMM) was about 2 - 3 months ago. I've never heard of Anisotropic Filtering causing problems but I'll try disabling that and the mods you mentioned. Also, I don't use any of the official DLC, not even the HD textures (that's what mods are for)

[DavidBowman]

Sadly none of this made any difference; the only thing that helped (quite significantly actually) was changing the load order a few posts ago.

That said, I certainly appreciate all your help

[Balloran]

SMIM Static Mesh Improvement Overhaul talks about the hires dlcs... (v;

 

as for the others, ok, re enable them and disable other exterior modifying mods like realistic water, etc.

oh and update your ENB files i think he updated .266 again on the 8th.

[DavidBowman]

None of the mods seem to be causing the problem, will try updating ENB in a bit
