CTD on loading a save game that used to work

[L115]

So, I have no idea why, but one day, my Skyrim was working just fine, the next, it stops even loading my save. It crashes to desktop no matter what save game I load, it crashes. I've tried re-installing all my mods. Cleaning them, re-arranging the load order, cleaning the saves, trying to make a new game(it doesn't even load that, it just CTDs). I suspect save bloating as my save files are 19mb. If it is save bloating, any way to solve it? Here's my mod list if it helps.

Have you tried validating your master files?

[L115]

I have tried verifying the game files, nothing. But it did detect 5 missing files which "needed to be reacquired". Any other suggestions?

[Deleted3082751User]

it sounds like your save games are destined for corruption, 19mb is pretty big for save games and does very much sound like save bloat, so it may be that you have too many scripted mods, or badly scripted mods.

 

how many hours have you played with the saves that are 19mb ?

 

if it does indeed lead to corrupted saves, then you have no choice but to start again, both a new game and different mods. (or delete the mods that may have caused it, which would require researching any mod that is scripted, and see if others have mentioned any issues they have had with the mod in question)

 

people have had issues in the past with, sounds of skyrim, so this may be a potential mod to look into (and it is indeed a scripted mod).

 

but yea your op definitely sounds like either your save games are already corrupted or the corruption is incoming (as all signs of it match your description perfectly - Massive save game, crashing, and all mods reinstalled and still crashing)

I thought it would be save bloating. I suppose I've played over 50 hours on those saves, and yes, I have had problems with Sounds of Skyrim before. I've researched quite a bit and it seems that I need to re-do the whole game. Thank you for the help!
