Certain Areas Causes CTD

[MaverickHunterZero]

Hello Nexus Forums!

I'm sure ya'll get this kind of stuff quite often, but I'm currently having an issue with Skyrim, aka my Viking Simulation Game

Right now I'm experiencing an issue when I enter Windhelm and Whiterun, two places that, I know, are vast and have a lot of things to load.

At first it was mainly Windhelm; trying to cross the bridge entrance proved problematic, and when I decided to go around towards the docks, crossing the waters towards the docks also gave me issues. With Whiterun I can barely get close enough. In those two instances, the game either CTD or freezes

I experimented by wandering around, and entering small areas like Riverrun and Ivarstead give me no issue, nor does Falkreath.

 

I'll admit i'm new at modding my game; I've watched videos for pointers/ mod ideas, and my roommate has a fairly heavily modded game of his own, so I've got a little grasp on things.

 

Via LOOT, this is my mod load order

Specs wise, I'm running Windows 7, my graphics adapter is AMD Radeon R7 250 Series (not great I know).

Any other information needed I'll help to provide, but I think it's obviously some mod causing the issue, or it's just because it's Windhelm and it likes to give me issues. Can't a guy just sit down in peace, blast some Viking Metal and go exploring?

Thanks in advance for assistance/replies! And, if nothing else, how *is* my mod order? Any tips there, anything i'm missing? (not mods specifically, but in general)

Can I bump this? Is that allowed? I'mma feel bad if it's not a thing you're supposed to do

At a quick glance, it's likely a conflict with Open Cities. Anything that adds to the cities usually needs a patch for OC. Could be a conflict with Notice Board, Missives, Inconsequential NPC's, and/or Skyrim Sewers.

The only thing that jumps out at me is open cities. Instead of having to load the city separately by walking through doors, it's basically loading the city before you get to it so you can walk through open doors. Maybe your video card is running out of memory as it has all the outside textures loaded, then loads all the city textures in addition to that? I'm not sure how safe it is to disable or uninstall open cities, but you can try that without saving to see if it fixes anything. If it doesn't all I can suggest is to disable mods by half. Meaning, disable half the mods, if the problem persists you know it's in the half you're using, if not, it's in the other half. Then load the half that is causing issues, minus half of them again, and continue to whittle down the problem. It both halves work okay, it probably means a conflict between mods in both halves. etc.
