Crash to desktop after the Skyrim loading screen (before the main menu)

[zyoeru]

Hello, Nexus Forums!

I am currently running SSE on the PC and I am new to Skyrim modding. Initially I followed the steps on the Reddit community's beginner's guide for SSE modding. This allowed me to install several mods and play the game with no problems. Each time I've installed new mods I have ensured that I've read carefully through the posts for issues of compatibility, required mods, and other issues.

Unfortunately, the other day I installed the following mods:

- Elysium Estate

- Skyfall Estate (Buildable)

- Sacrosanct

- Better Vampire NPCs

- Better Vampires

- Better Vampires and Sacrosanct Patch

After installing these and updating the patch and load order the game began to crash upon the end of the Bethesda logo. I uninstalled them, updated the patch, and load order and it continued to crash at this point. I have now re-installed them to recreate the same situation as when it first began to crash and it is now crashing after the Skyrim logo loading screen before the main menu.

I am running Skyrim SE on the PC and I am rather new to Skyrim modding. Initially I followed the steps in the beginner's guide to modding and since then I have been playing the game with no problems using mods. Each time I've downloaded a new mod I've made sure to check Nexus for problems, compatibility issues, and miscellaneous requirements.

I've tried to remedy the situation using troubleshooting guides and I am now at a complete loss. Hopefully someone here will be kind enough to help me. My load order is below.

I have noticed, that sometimes when uninstalling a mod, NMM does not always remove all of the files for that mod. I suggest you uninstall each one again, one at a time, and verify that all files from that mod are being removed. Your problem sounds like a mod is missing a master file it needs to work so double check the requirements in case you missed something.

Also make sure you use LOOT and SSEEDIT after doing the above. trust me it will help.

Usually, this is connected to a missing master that another mod needs. It could be that "Better Vampires NPC" requires "Better Vampires" above it in the load order (if they're connected mods)
