thesapien Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The Skyrim bsa files aren't small, so maybe keep them if you don't want Steam to re-download them. Else did you do a local backup of install files? Anyway, someone else would know better than me if those files are changed in any way while modding or game use. However, I did want to remind you to delete your settings and preferences and maybe even your saves, all located in your user folder under my games under my documents.

PsYchotic666Joker Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Did you install with workshop or nmm or do it by hand? also since you said you have tons of conflicts there are ways to fix this and get things working silky smooth, unless you're on the workshop then i'm not sure they work, wouldn't know as i myself never and will never use the workshop.

Aarkon Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 well after refreshing to vanilla and installing some known stable mods i was still getting crashes so doing some research it may be the steam client causing the problem the CTDs were far too regular to be a mod ( every 45 min or so like clockwork ) so i switched steam to offline mode disabled the auto update and the steam chat in game ( shift tab thing ) did some running around and it seems to have worked further testing will ensue in 5 .. 4 .. 3... 2...
