Skyrim just... doesn't work anymore

[nalathequeen2186]

I'm making this post in a sort of dull desperation because I'm rapidly losing all hope that my copy of Skyrim will ever work again, even in vanilla.

 

I've had it on PC for about a year and I used to have tons of mods installed. Apart from the odd crash here and there, it was mostly stable, even with 200+ mods installed. Keep in mind at this point I was still very much a novice modder, using NMM and not even understanding what SKSE did. Maybe half a year ago I switched to MO because my game was having a lot of problems, and at first it seemed to work. But then my game started having bigger problems. Problems like every save I had crashing my entire game, which necessitated a complete reinstall of the game. Then it crashed every time I entered Falkreath Hold - the ENTIRE hold crashed my game. That meant another complete reinstall. And now? Now the game crashes at an unacceptable rate. It crashes almost every time I try to save, unless I die first and then save (and that has to be repeated every fifteen minutes or it starts crashing again). It also crashes at random spots around the game, whether going through a loading screen or just running around the landscape.

 

I'm just... so done. I don't know what's causing it. I've looked up every variation of "how to make Skyrim stop crashing because of X" that I can think of and nothing has helped. I installed some mods that are supposed to increase stability - no change, still crashes. A month or two ago I uninstalled more than half of the mods I had left, with most of the remaining ones being things like hair and tattoo mods, no major overhauls or anything. And it's still crashing. I can't pinpoint what's causing it. I don't know what to do. Skyrim used to be my favorite game, and now playing it is just so stressful because I never know when it's going to crash next. I want to play modded Skyrim, I don't want to have to play vanilla, but if that's what it takes to make it work again then f*#@ it.

 

Can someone just... take a look at my load order to see if there's something that I've missed? I use MO, I pay attention to the requirements listed on every mod's page, I avoid incompatibilities, I double check everything I install. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I just want my game back.

[Adarcer]

1) remove everything best to start with a clean slate.. re-download game from steam

2) go here http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.2

3) I would suggest no enb just enboost, get enhanced blood textures but move esp into optional (make sure .bsa is cheaked in archives)

, ignore footsteps mod, dyndolod not really needed,

4) suggest adding campfire and hunterborn + patch, Ineed (step survival pack-except frostfall)

5)make a new profile in MO before adding your own mods and be careful about what you add eg check when it was updated.

and some types of mods you should only have one type like

-follower frameworks ufo, eff, and aft (suggest aft)

-only get a couple of follower mods (especially if scripted)

-only one overhaul of the following types perks (kinda advanced), vampire, werewolf.

-don't get every hair/eyes mod choose only a couple (suggest kh hairstyles- for hdt physics hair)

-only one body type for male and female (suggest uunp type with hdt physics for female)

- one skeleton (suggest xp32 extended for hdt physics)

- racemenu only as it includes the precache killer ( so no advanced character edit)

-races I don't suggest any races

- rschildren overhaul to replace the ugly vanilla children

- only a couple of houses try to spread them out a bit i use this guys buildable houses and the one in raven rock

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/6942439/?tb=mods&pUp=1

-other that a few utilities like jazonz utilities and the fixed smartlooter package (needed if your gonna use it), wearable lanterns realistic nights or foxes darker night and dungeons for a more enblike night and dungeon (good luck playing at night :P), revenge of the

enemies and animal tweaks if you want a challenge, and a few flavor mods you should be set

-afterwards bash patch, run fnis, and dual sheath patch.
