Windhelm Causing CTD (NMM, SKSE, COT, Frostfall, All DLC...)

[SocialDeviant]

All right, my problem is strangely specific. My game is stable at 60FPS most of the time, although it has occasional CTD at random locations. Not a big deal since I save regularly. I've got load order sorted with BOSS and plugins patched with Wyre Bash/TES5Edit. Game is installed at C:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim

However, currently, I'm having persistent CTD when trying to enter the city of Windhelm (load screen CTD).

• First, I had trouble leaving the Palace of the Kings going to Windhelm: persistent CTD on loading screen. What I did to fix it: Waited for 14 days. Went into the barracks. Exited back to throne room. Exited to Windhelm with no problem.
• Now I'm having CTD trying to fast travel to Windhelm from any location. Even fast travelling to the stables and walking in is causing CTD.

 

My SKSE is up-to-date. NMM is up-to-date.

 

My guess is that this area requires more memory than most, and that I need to allocate more memory to the game's engine in order to prevent this specific CTD. This problem might be exacerbated by the fact that my weather plugins cause Windhelm to experience constant snow--GPU drag.

 

I'm running PC Windows 7 64bit, 8GB RAM, CPU 3.0GHz, 300GB free hard drive space, GeForce GTX650 with 4GB VRAM. Below I've listed the BOSS load list, and I've attached the same load list and my dxdiag info as *.txt files.

 

I posted this to see if someone agrees with me [that it's a memory issue] before embarking on the journey of learning how to allocate more memory to the engine. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Try running LOOT, it's a newer and better version of BOSS.

[SocialDeviant]

Update: I added the skse.ini memory settings, still CTD entering Windhelm. Gonna try LOOT now.

[SocialDeviant]

Even weirder, I can't coc into Windhelm or the Palace of the Kings, even after passing 10 days in-game to give them time to reload. Anyone have ideas? Running LOOT & fixing two ITM's didn't help.

 

I fast-traveled to other big cities and had no trouble at all; it's just Windhelm & the POTK.

[NCRX]

for me sometimes it Ctd's because of CoT supreme storms so much SNOW ohmagerd , what are the ini settings that you applied ? maybe you could try no more boring sleep menu mod allows you to rest for longer did not notice if you had it turn off realistic needs in order to not die and rest for 31 days full cell reset . just trying to see if it could help.

[NCRX]

I have almost the same mods and had this happen a few times

[gamecp9]

When I enter windhelm then tun on frostfall , I GOT CTD .
