Another CTD with unknown cause

[DarzoFlint]

Skyrim crashes to desktop every time I fast travel, or after 1 minute of launching the game when just walking about. I have spent about an hour cleaning up the mods with TES5Edit, Skyrim Save tool, as well as reinstalling all mods. Still, the game crashes. Attached is the papyrus log file of the game, and my mod list is here . I also have:

LongbowFS.esp

LongbowsIWpatch.esp

Hrothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp

onehandeddagger.esp

FNIS.esp

Drogon Soul Relinquishment.esp

Steel Bolts for All.esp

HBetterBows.esp

Apocalypse - The Spell Package.esp

Quick Start - Skip the Opening Sequence.esp

Apocalypse - More Apocalypse.esp

 

I have checked, and there are no mod conflicts.

No idea how to fix this, please advise on what to do.

 

Thank you!

Try this basic troubleshooting first. Come back if it doesn't resolve your issues.

Here are some things you should consider when you add more than a handful of mods:

 

1) Mod Conflicts. If your Skyrim crashes to the destop (CTD) the moment the loading screen appears, it is very likely you have a mod conflict. Add only one or two mods at a time (and test them) to avoid having to plow through dozens of mods trying to find the one that's causing your game to crash. Also, RTFM. Mod authors WILL tell you what other mods (and/or types of mods) that their mod conflicts with. But that doesn't do you any good if you don't read that info before installing. Sometimes a patch is available to prevent a ctd from happening (or to prevent the mod from conflicting in some other way, like overwriting some scenery and causing weird in-game effects like floating trees and Mammoths raining from the sky. (Yes, that happens.)

 

2) Overwrites. When NMM installs mods, it will often stop and ask you a question like: "Do you want this mod to install (whatever) over (whatever) that already exists due to (whatever)? with about eight different options. Again, many mod authors will tell you what options to choose when installing their mod. When those instructions are not present, I've found it is usually best to answer "Yes to all" or the equivalent answer offered.

 

3) Load Order. Load order is literally the order that the mods are loaded into your game. This is just as important as overwrites. A "poor" load order will cause lots of issues ranging from weird in-game effects to CTDs. You can manually alter your load order in the "Plug-In" tab of NMM, but there's a better way. Download LOOT and install it. Point it at your directory where your mods are and let LOOT sort them. Not only will LOOT give you a better load order, but it will warn you about mods that need "cleaning" of dirty edits in them. And you can do that with TES5Edit. It's quite simple to use. However, be warned that some mods have INTENTIONAL dirty edits. Cleaning those mods will likely break them. How to know? Simple, the mod author will warn you if his/her mod has deliberate dirty edits.

 

4 SKSE. SKSE is short for "SKyrim Script Extender." Many popular mods use really cool and helpful interfaces like MCM (Mod Control Menus.) These mods require SKSE to function. Download SKSE and watch Gopher's video (linked in the description at the SKSE site) for what SKSE does exactly and how to install it. Don't worry, Gopher explains it clearly and concisely.
