butidigress Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi guys, I'm not new to modding by any means, but I've been away from Skyrim for quite a while and have finally decided to jump back in for another modded playthrough. I want to get through this one as hassle-free (AKA, as CTD-free, lol) as possible. I've been following lots of guides and tips, reading up on safe and proper modding practices (and was shocked to learn that in the past mine had actually been quite terrible. I know. It's so hard to believe). In particular, I have been following Neovalen's SR:LE guide (Link: http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited_-_Legendary_Edition) tweaked to my own tastes. I was just hoping that you guys could help me make sure that my game is going to be running as rock-solid as it possibly can, if you would be so kind. TL;DR: Help me stabilize my game for a new playthrough PLZ Specs: Intel core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.6 GHZ w/turboboost up to 3.5 GHZ 16GB RAM 64 bit, Win 10 NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8gb VRAM) dedicated graphics Laptop, not tower 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD Game is located in my steamapps under the C: on my SSD; game version is the latest update; Legendary edition; I use Mod Organizer, latest edition, the latest SKSE, I have LOOT, TESVEDIT, Wrye Bash, FNIS, Dyndolod & Texgen (the updated version).

VulcanTR Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 We will try but first we need specific ctd (it will be easy if it is not happens randomly) because computer specs not causes problems most of the times. Even you have a superior computer, Skyrim vram capped at 4gb (make correct if i wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snelss0 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) 1. I would make sure your AOS is compatible with your other sound-based mods. Also check to see if your combat mods add sounds. They may not be compatible then.2. You have ELE and ELFX? Two lighting mods are not good to have as far as I know.3. Your Alternate Start is not at the bottom of your load order, which tells me you haven't sorted with LOOT. If you are using it, make sure you're hitting apply after you hit Sort. AS-LAL should be near last. Only your Bashed patch and DynDOLOD should come after it (other than what LOOT puts there).4. Move all of your skeleton/animation mods to the bottom of your load order. I'll show you below.5. I think all of your DynDOLOD files should probably be near to the end of your load order. Not sure on that, but I think so.6. Brawl Bugs Fix should be lower in your load order. Not needed, but suggested by the mod author.7. I believe there is a Cutting Room Floor patch for RS Children as well as a USLEEP patch for it as well. Check to see if you have these.So here is the load order I suggest to people often:SkyrimUpdateDawnguardHearthfiresDragonbornUnofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch[Other .esms]HighResTexturePack1,2,3Unofficial High Res Patch[utility Mods] (things like SKSE Scripts, UI Extensions, papyrus util)[All other .esps mods]Modern Brawl Bugs Fix[Texture mods] (Mods that make skyrim look better)[body Textures/Meshes] (Mods that make NPC or player look better)FNIS[Animation Mods]XPMSEAlternate Start[Anything LOOT sorts after it]Also, make sure that if using Mod organizer that your left side load order and right side match above, then when you get LOOT working, sort with it. It will organize the right pane, then match the left pane to the right pane. Also, make sure you know how to deal with your overwrites properly in MOIf you aren't using it yet, check out the Crash Fixes mod.If using Windows 10, optimize your computer for the game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=500687692 Edited February 24, 2017 by snelss0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even you have a superior computer, Skyrim vram capped at 4gb (make correct if i wrong)It's mainly been happening when I try to load a save from the main menu. I can start a new game and play just fine for about two or three hours, but then the game CTDs, and so I'll give my computer a break and come back later, but none of my saves are able to load. 1.

I have the compatibility patches for the mods I use that are listed on the compatibility forum of the mod page, and have checked to make sure nothing is overwriting AOS2's files2. I'm using a tweaked version of ELE specifically designed for ELFX--it's part of Neovalen's (the author of Dual Sheath Redux) SR:LE guide. 3. The Load Order in pastebin is my LOOT output directly from the application itself. 4. As far as animations and textures, skeletons, body mods etc. Do you mean move them in the left pane of MO? 5. In the left pane, Brawl Bugs Fix is almost last in my load order, I'm using the latest version (1.04) and it loads after all my gameplay-related mods and the rest of EnaiSaion's mods.6. I have both of those RS Children patches in my load order7. Dyndolod runs very last in my load order8. I am using Crash Fixes--here's my ini (http://pastebin.com/txmfjHEM)I'll have to check out that optimization guide, I appreciate it very much.

snelss0 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 1,2 Cool3 I don't doubt that, but what I'm saying is, is that it's not likely sorted. You may have hit SORT, but you didn't likely hit APPLY after it.4. In both the left and the right panes. These mods aren't sorted by LOOT, so you can move them where you wish, and they seem to do better at the end in the order I suggested.5-8. Sounds good.

butidigress Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 First of all--thank you for that Windows 10 guide, it was extremely informative and awesome. So, I followed your suggestions and moved the mods in my MO load order (left pane) as specified. I have a question though--when positioning mods in the left pane, should I place them in the EXACT order of the right pane? This sounds like a dumb question I'm sure, but I ask because I have some mods that have both ESMs and ESPs, so I was just wondering about that. Also, when I run LOOT to sort the load order, it pops up with a message that says "Sorting made no changes to the load order". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snelss0 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I would suggest it be as close to the right pane as possible, but as for textures or some mods, you want them to have a certain priority. Whatever is lower on your list is higher priority, and thus will overwrite those things positioned above it. So whatever you want to have displayed in your files, have it lower. Other than that, most everything should be in the order it is on the right. Make sure your LOOT is up to date and is the newest version. I remember my old LOOT saying that, but I don't think my new one does. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
