MCM Mod Loading Delay for Alt. Start?

[DaemontusOfficial]

Hello!

 

I had this post prepared in the background in case my last attempt to get a new game started failed once more.

 

Okay - backstory before any of you go 'what about your rig?' or 'have you tried LOOT?'

 

I've been modding for past few months. I've been faced with CTDs, errors and managed to fix them.

I won't touch TES5 Edit for the simple reason is that 1) it crashes on me and 2) I don't feel qualified enough to edit mods themselves.

I also use LOOT and Wyre Bash, and unless the patch conflicts or causes CTD/errors, I generally have patches installed.

 

Alright. Up until the day before yesterday (Friday for me), the only error I've had has been trying to get to Whiterun stables, having it tell me I've discovered the place then a straight up CTD.

 

I've completely uninstalled any mod that affected that area (churches of skyrim, whiterun outskirts etc) except for ETAC and Immersive Whiterun.

 

However, I still had CTD.

 

So, I went to uninstall ETAC and Immersive Whiterun to see if that cleared anything however, when starting a new save (like one should do when modding), suddenly Alternative Start wouldn't properly load the MCM/Mods. In fact, whenever I exit CC I end up CTDing when it tries to load.

 

So, all in all, I just want a fix/tech support solution that helps even out MCM loading so its not all loading in one go and crashing my poor game so I can then go and see if I still have errors with Whiterun Stables.

 

Currently, I even have problems just loading New Game/New Start :/ Grrrr.

 

Also to add - Bash patch won't merge a majority of my mods and yes, I do know I have a lot of mods installed however, I've gotten a majority of it working.

Hello,

• CTD in a particular cell / location.
• CTDs troubleshooting page on Reddit, depending on what's happening in game, choose the subsections that describes the best your problem.
• Make sure you're using the good mods >> Dangerous mods list.
• Verify gamecache.

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

/// Cleaning and correcting potential bugs :

• Clean your master files to eliminate potential problems : Tes5edit cleaning tutorial / Tes5edit documentation / Tes5edit Nexus page.
• The method above can be used to clean mods. LOOT may tell you which plugin you should clean.
• Mator's video fixing errors with Tes5edit. Merge plugins.

/// Load order / mods conflicts :

• Use L.O.O.T / Nexus page (& documentation).
• Create a wryebash patch including leveled lists.
• Create a merged patch with Tesedit excluding leveled lists
• How things work in Tes5edit : load order / conflict looser - winner / Forwarding / adding as a master. More specifically, you may create a manual patch between two or more mods.

/// Settings / memory :

• Preferably, use crash fixes with the UseOSAllocators=1 instead of skse memory patch or SSME.
• You may also install safety load if you experience infinite loading screens or freezing in game.
• Memory blocks log will help to refine memory settings.
• Skyrim performance monitor.
• Backup your ini files and delete the files. Skyrim.ini / SkyrimCustom.ini / SkyrimPrefs.ini found in C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Skyrim then use your vanilla launcher to autodetect and use best settings for your computer.
• STEP INI tweaking wiki.
• 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.
• New SkyrimTools, (corrupt saves topic).

/// 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 :

• Selective loading : untick 50% of your mods, beginning by the end of your load order and test in game. Then depending on if the problem occurs again or not, increase /decrease the remaining loading mods to find the culprit.
• If you're using win8-10 + a GPU with more than 4GB VRAM + a heavily modded game and experiencing stuttering, random freezes or / and FPS drops, this may occur when the VRAM usage exceeds 4GB, read here for more details.
• Direct-x 9 C, 9 C update.
• In NMM settings, see where your tracelog path is (C:\Users\User\Documents\Nexus Mod Manager), open a request in the NMM open beta forum and post your tracelog.txt.
• Skyrim requirements wiki.
• Skse installation : skse on steam or Manual install. (SKSE, memory and skse.ini). SKSE logs are here : C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SKSE. SKSE troubleshooting guide.
• STEP troubleshooting page.
• An efficient guide to build your game : STEP / Official S.T.E.P. Mod Organizer video series.
• Ensure your skyrim installation is healthy = Make skyrim vanilla again.
• Make sure you're using the latest USLEEP instead of the obsolete unofficial patches. If some of your old mods require them, you may use the USLEEP swap masters.
• Crashdump analysis.
• Papyrus log is a scripts log only and doesn't cover anything else, not a crash log. Interpreting Papyrus Log Errors / Enabling papyrus logging
• Need to know informations about your harware, temperature, etc... ? Speccy may help you.
• Shut down background programs such as intellipoint, fan manager, etc... Need a tool to manage GPU fan speed that works with ENB ? You may try Afterburner, (tested)

/// Credits : these persons deserve kudos, (among others) without them there would be nothing above.

You mention Wrye Bash but I see no 'Bashed Patch' at the end of your load order. Have you created one?

Okay, heads up! Just don't think I'm ignoring you guys. Please, thank you for the replies so far! I was walking home and was considering reinstalling Skyrim and remodding from the start BUT... in theory, I considered forcing NMM to force reinstall the mods that might be causing problems and in theory, somehow 'reset' them to the way they were before whatever it was conflicted. It's a theory, and I'm not certain if it works but if it does, I will let you all know. If it doesn't, I will return back to this thread and try the solutions/advice etc you've all offered. :smile:

 

*Update

 

My theory worked. I am now able to start a new save.
