Skyrim Crashing Around Certain Areas - Too many mods to single one out.

[ClockMoney]

Crashing around specific areas in the Skyrim overworld. One that is very persistent is the area with the waterfalls, and the standing stones around riverwood.

Help would be appreciated, thanks.

There's no such thing as "too many mods to single one out." There is only "so many mods I don't want to do the work necessary to fix my problem."

 

The following is standard trouble shooting for issues not pinned to an obvious source, verifying your game files through steam is only step 1 aka the easy step.

• First - have you verified your game files through steam and updated to the latest patch?
• Second - uncheck all your mods, start a new game, save after the chargen. This will be your 'tester save.' Do Not Overwrite or Delete this save.
• Third - Enable five mods.
• Four - Go into game with your tester save. Run from one end of the game world to the other. Go into a few cities. Interact with a few things that are related to your problem. See if anything crashes/doesn't animate properly.
• Five - No sign of problems? Repeat 3-5. It crashed or something's not right? Go to step 6.
• Six - something not right? uncheck one of the five mods then go back to your tester save, repeat step 4.

Continue until you have found and fixed your error.

This thread may help you identify the culprit, but otherwise what Oubliette says is definitely a way to figure it out.

I can't stand abandoning my current Skyrim save and personally have done a complete fresh reinstall of all of my mods two or three times now to keep it running when I can't identify whatever problem I may have caused. Sometimes the tower gets too rickety and needs to be rebuilt, if you ask me.

Heck, I use to get skyrim crashing when it felt like it, often in higher levels and this is with only 1 -2 mods and also in pure vanilla. Yes, all patched up and game files verified by steam. It's the game engine, that's why Bethesda sometimes gets called Bugthesda. Go figure... All this on a system that can run other games just fine...

[Darkstyler35]

Here is a list that may help,

• Make sure to check the Dangerous mods list to avoid troubles.
• Verify gamecache.
• Follow the "uncheck mods" procedure Oubliette posted above.
• Troubleshooting CTDs list, pick your poison.
• You may use an efficient guide on how to install mods.
• Reddit resources page, navigate also using the right column...

/// Settings / memory :

• Have you installed the skse patch ? >> memory blocks log.
• Backup your ini files and delete the files. Skyrim.ini / SkyrimCustom.ini / SkyrimPrefs.ini found in C:\Users\Utilisateur\Documents\My Games\Skyrim then use your vanilla launcher to autodetect and use best settings for your computer.
• You may also nstall ENBOOST. (See ENB haxx, read and follow the STEP guide) I saw a topic recently where installing ENBOOSt was apparently the solution. See steelfeathers's post.

/// Load order / mods conflicts :

• Use L.O.O.T once and click on the "sort plugins buttons".
• Create a wryebash patch including leveled lists.
• Create a merged patch with Tesedit excluding leveled lists

/// Cleaning and correcting potential bugs :

• Make sure you're using the latest USLEEP > v 3.0.4 now.
• Clean your master files to eliminate potential problems.: Gopher's videos cleaning your masterfiles on the Nexus Tesedit page.
  Start Tes5edit, simply untick everything, (right-click/select none) and add only a tick to the esm/esp you want to check + update.esm, Tesedit knows what to do and will load all the dependencies automatically.
  - Begin with loading only Skyrim + update, ITM / UDR + save ctrl +s and close.
  - Then load Skyrim + update + Dawnguard, ITM / UDR + ctrl +s and close.
  - Then load Skyrim + update + Hearthfire, ITM / UDR + ctrl +s and close.
  - Then load Skyrim + update + Dragonborn, ITM / UDR + ctrl +s and close.
• The method above can be used to clean mods. If I'm correct LOOT should tells you which plugin you should clean.

/// Save game :

• Don't uninstall mods at mid-game, there are no real clean save in Skyrim but using save script cleaner can help removing orphan scripts.

/// Usefull informations :

• If necessary, make sure skyrim is in perfect condition to work without mods. Make skyrim vanilla again.

 

Hope this helps.
