Ctd in strange an specific places

[Scabeiathax]

Hi,

 

My game is CTDing in very odd places. I have found 3 locations so far:

 

1: a small stretch of road (approx 30m) outside of windhelm just after the right turn over the bridge near the end of the bigger bridge

2: an area of cliffs strait north east of Iversted on the way towards Kynesgrove (a short distance southeast of lost knife hideout)

3: the area where the river that flows through Riverwood connects to the lake.

 

Saving then loading the game does not prevent the ctd, nor does skipping 24 hrs. However leaving and approaching from a different direction did not cause it and I have not been able to replicate any specific crash more than 3 times. My game is modded but to a great extent (56 active plugins). In addition to these CTDs my save file (of about 15hrs) has experienced 2 other CTDs but I was able to identify them as vanilla/confirmed issues and solve them.

 

This isn't a great issue now, I am more curious than anything but I am worried that something may cause me problems in the long run and would rather not just leave it to do its thing. This seams a strange issue as to my knowledge, none of my mods do anything to those areas specifically.

 

Papyrus logs, map of CTD hot-spots, mod list, load order, Shakespearean verses and images of stegosaurus are available upon request.

Here are some things to look at:

 

1. Do you have any mods that change these areas?

.. IE: House Mods, Road Mods, Caves to explore and so on?

 

2. Have you tried LOOT, but understand that Loot is NOT the cure all, but a good place to start.

 

3. Did you add any mods during this game or updated any mods?

 

4. Did you try turning OFF all your mods ( DLC's are not mods. ) and does this happen when you go there?

... IF - No, the problem is gone. Then it is a mod that is causing the issue.

 

 

.. Jj ...

Loot has been run and dirty plugins cleaned.

 

I disabled all mods then went to two of the locations with a fresh start, no CTD

I disabled all mods on my current game and went to all of the locations, no CTD.

I re-enabled mods and went to the locations on my current save, no CTD.

 

I do not possess a save from the times immediately before any of the crashes. Next time I find a crash spot I will create a save so that I can do some testing. Due to the transient nature of the crashes I suspect its an npc/object causing them, and specifically one that doesn't spawn in cells or cites ect since all three locations were, more or less, not near any locations/cells.

 

I have enabled additional mods since the start and disabled some too. These were all Armour/weapons (not lvl list integrated) or textures. The only exception to this is I had to temporarily disable "Unp body fit armors and clothing" to get around a bug with the Wolf Queen Awakened quest.
