Skyrim CTD upon entering Windhelm

[Amuzie]

Whenever I try to enter Windhelm in anyway the game CTD after the loading screen. I'm not sure what causes it and would be happy with any advice. Link to imgur page with all my mods and load order. https://imgur.com/a/db4yr Memoryblocks log says that it goes up to 244 when it crashes. Just tell me if you need additional info and I'll provide it if I can.

 

Cheers.

Updated the post with better information. Sorry for my previous ignorance on the info bit.

[reesedis]

Question, do you only crash in Windhelm? Every other city/town is just fine?

[Amuzie]

Have tried all the other major cities and nothing special happens then. It has only happened in Windhelm.

[Amuzie]

It works just fine if I set my settings to low. But it does not works on ultra settings.

[TonyOQuinn]

I don't see any obvious issues, possibly one of the Realistic Lighting plugins.

If that's not it, I have a few suggestions to cover basics.

It may be crashing while trying to autosave as you enter the city. Disable auto saves until you fix this.

You may fix it with the Unofficial High Resolution Patch without tweaking anything. Get that and place it after HighResTexturePack03 in your mod order.

In your skse.ini, try increasing your DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=1024 and ScrapHeapSizeMB=512.

Maybe vram needs tweaking. Get the latest Crash Fix ENBoost . From what Boris recommends for your card:

 

 

[MEMORY]

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true

ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true

DisableDriverMemoryManager=false

DisablePreloadToVRAM=false

EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

ReservedMemorySizeMb=256

VideoMemorySizeMb=2944

Did everything you told me to do and something in there made it work! Thank you. I believe it was related to the VRAM as soon as I noticed that it worked on low graphics but i never got ENB to work so cheers.

For people who are also trying to find the reason for the crash, disabling these mods helps in my case:
