[RavensFall]

I havent used the forum before so im not sure if im posting this in the right section, please go easy on me if this is the wrong place. I have modded skyrim, it went to a point where it wouldnt load past the main menu without CTD problems. I uninstalled all of my mods, uninstalled the mod manager and uninstalled skyrim, i have reinstalled skyrim and he mod manager but have reactivated none of the mods. despite this skyrim still wont load past main menu with CTD./ Can anyone help me?

Hello,

• Ensure your skyrim installation is healthy = Make skyrim vanilla again, then test your game again without mods.
• CTDs troubleshooting page on Reddit. depending on what's happening in game, choose the subsections that describe the best your problem.
• Here is an efficient guide to build your game : STEP.
• Make sure you're using the good mods >> Dangerous mods list.
• Make sure you're using the latest USLEEP.

Here is a list of things that may help stabilizing your game if not already been done. :

/// 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
• More specifically, you may create a manual patch between two or more mods.

/// Cleaning and correcting potential bugs :

• 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. LOOT should tell you which plugin you should clean. You may also do a check errors.

/// 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 install ENBOOST >> ENB graphics / ENB haxx.

/// Save game :

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

/// Meshes healer :

• Read here, this is potentially a cause of CTD that you can resolve by following the mod procedure on this page.

/// Useful informations :

• Verify gamecache.
• Skyrim performance monitor.
• STEP troubleshooting page.
• Ensure your skyrim installation is healthy = Make skyrim vanilla again.
• Papyrus log is a scripts log only and doesn't cover anything else, not a crash log. Interpreting Papyrus Log Errors, thanks to Arthmoor.

Hope this helps.

<did you not read my post? I told you i uninstalled every mod and tried to open skyrim and it still wouldnt work. Its already back at vanilla basics.> "I uninstalled skyrim" doesn't mean nothing remains in skyrim folder or that things worked correctly. That's why I posted the "Make skyrim vanilla again", in order to check things are as they should be for a proper reinstallation.
