SirTwist Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Instead of deleting everything in the Data folder, it is best to copy everything elsewhere first. This will enable you to restore what might be lost much easier, and faster than downloading everything from Steam again. Second thing is once it's copied, you can delete things to your heart's content, or do whatever else you want. This should have been made clear in the first place. I don't recommend just deleting everything, and then only restoring from scratch. I recommend moving, archiving, etc. before deleting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCrunch83 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thanks a lot for this tip. It worked perfectly.The first time my game started crashing I made a fresh install and it seemed to be ok after that but then it started again. I started to suspect a corrupt save game. Fortunately this helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajs11 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 well NMM just wouldn't let me disable my mods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thany2 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 A mod shouldn't be able to crash the game. Produce some error, sure, but if a mod can crash the game, the game architecture is broken. It'd be a thing if a browser extension could crash the browser. Hint: it can't. It fundamentally can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGreatWeight Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 A mod shouldn't be able to crash the game. Produce some error, sure, but if a mod can crash the game, the game architecture is broken. A badly made or poorly tested mod can. Aside from that, mods themselves don't crash the game.Installing mods that conflict with each other without the user attempting to resolve the conflict, badly organized load orders, and removing mods on an existing save/playthrough can cause CTD's.

july121 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This was the WORST ADVICE EVER I tried it, and my game wouldn't even start. Now I have to uninstall and install it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searean Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) lol, so get a ctd at creation of character so decided to try this as I am desperate! I heard f4se does not like looks menu and will not work at all if it is around :tongue: I do not have a "string folder" but assumed you meant "scripts" so deleted all but those 2 and am verifying files... and I am using Vortex, tried it hoping it would not ctd... but still does so.... it needs to replace 27 gigs so maybe I did not do it right? It is still downloading it but wanted to see if others had to replace so much too and if others have a script instead of a strings folder.... thanks! ****************update, it seemed to work when I loaded an unmodded game and moved around but when I installed (using vortex) commonwealth cuts hair, the eyes or perfection, zellas hair dye, red lipstick (replaces lipstick 15) and cbbe curvy body... crashes right when I hit "done" at character creation.... It is weird because I have a screenshot taken where I managed to get her created but then I added more mods and it crashed... ugh, so love/hate Bethesda games!!!! how do we roll back to when these mods worked?
