Skyrim keeps not responding

[alltheseducks]

My games keeps giving the (Not Responding) message. It happens when I load a save or load screens. Sometimes the game will work for a few minutes, but then stop responding.

 

It's been a couple months since I set up my game and I haven't been playing it consistently, so I can't remember all the things I would've done to troubleshoot before.

 

I'm using ModOrganizer, and I launch my game from its SKSE executable. I'm also using ENBoost.

 

Specs:

 

CPU - Intel Core i5-6600K
12GB RAM
MOBO: ASUS H170M-E D3
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 980

Also, my ENBlocal.ini and SKSE.ini. I haven't changed them since I set them up using this guide and this guide, respectively, but I don't know if something may have changed them.

1. Your specs look fine to have a high mod count, so I don't think it is that. Using mod organizer, I'm just going to give you this general load order that I feel really works well. I have 220+ mods and no issues ingame, so I know this works.
Skyrim.esm
Update.esm
Dawnguard.esm
HearthFires.esm
Dragonborn.esm
Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp
[other .esms]
Hi Res 1,2,3
Unofficial High Res Patch
[utility mods] (Bug fixes, UI extensions, Things that don't really add .esps)
[All unmentioned .esps]
[Texture mods I don't want to overwrite SMIM]
SMIM
[Texture Mods I do want to overwrite SMIM]
[body Meshes/Textures] (Really anything to do with your character texture/mesh-wise)
[Animations] (FNIS and after it, anything that FNIS updates)
[Custom Skeleton] (Generally people use XP32 maximum Skeleton extended)
Alternate Start
RSPatch
Dual Sheath Redux Patch
[any other patches or unique mods that need to go at the end of your list, LOOT will sort]

After everything is in this order in BOTH the left and right panes, I sort the right pane with LOOT as is normal. Now LOOT has everything where it wants to go. So now I sort my LEFT pane to match exactly with my right (Except the texture mods. I keep them in my preferred order in relation to SMIM, but leave it the way it wants on the right pane). I make sure that there are no overwrite errors in my overwrite section, and if you don't know how to handle those, let me know. It's really easy.

As for your Load Order:
2. ETaC has a lot of patches, make sure you have all the ones you need.
3. JK Skyrim does not work with NPC editing mods or other mods that change the structure of cities. This is likely causing major conflicts in your game with ETaC or anything that affects the interiors of those cities, including 3dNPC, the immersive NPCs, inconsequential NPCs and others possibly.
4. Convenient Horses may conflict with Hunterborn. I'm not sure on this, but you may want to ask or check out his forums tab to see if others have mentioned this. Anything that messes with animals or their equipment scripts I'd be suspicious of.
5. Anything that messes with thief skills is somewhat hazardous with Ordinator. Also anything that messes with the perk trees or Destruction skill should really have a patch if you use any mods that affect these things. You may, but I didn't notice any; worth a mention.

6. As for your enblocal.ini, this is what I use with my Snapdragon ENB. You are free to use it if you want. If it fixes your problems, cool.

7. SKSE.ini looks fine.

[twiztedmongoloid]

Sounds like you did things correctly.

 

It is more than likely a mod conflict issue. I would return to vanilla and add mods slowly testing after every 5 or so.

Thank you for your answers! I don't know what the problem was, but it seems to have stopped on its own. Thank you though!
