Newbie Modder In Need of HELP - Can't Move At All

[PandemuLord]

Hello and thanks to anyone reading this, first post on a forum. I am having trouble with modding Skyrim, and hopefully someone can help me.

Before anyone asks, yes I searched around on various forums and youtube videos prior to asking. The forums was my last resort, and hopefully some knowledgeable individual can help me.

My PROBLEM is that when I start up my modded game of Skyrim, clean new save, everything goes well, I make my character, and then when the dragon attacks, I can NOT MOVE to run to the tower or anywhere else.

So I recently got into modding video games, specifically Skyrim (Oldrim). I watched youtube videos and download NMM, LOOT, and SKSE. I downloaded a list of mods that caught my eye. The list is as follows

Now, I took over a week to come up with this load order. From eliminating conflicting mods or mods that took up too much room or VRAM (I have Windows 10 unfortunately), I spent a long time on the order and ran it through LOOT/FNIS. I tested each mod individually down the list by starting a new game, test, repeat.

Now THE PROBLEM is that I have my order, I'm ready to play a Skyrim game, but the scene instantly in Helgen after the Dragon shouts everyone over, I get up and Ralof calls me to the tower. In some of the tests I was able to run to the tower... but NOW, it shows the movements of my character running, but I'm not moving anywhere. I am making the movements, even with my fingers off the keyboard, just am not moving forward or in any direction. Do I have a bad mod that I didn't pick up in the tests? Because I only tested as far as the cart ride, didn't make it to the movement section (that would've taken much longer). Is there a problem with my load order according to LOOT, or do I have a conflicting mod, or too many mods? I have 219 plugins active in this list, and am going to start Helgen Reborn after I finish the intro. Any help would be VERY appreciated as I've spent a lot of time already trying to get this to run on my own XD Thanks in advance.

I remember I had the same issue a few years ago - unfortunately I do not remember how I fixed it. However, I know that one of my mods caused it. So... you can do a few things. You can disable all of your mods, play helgen without them and enable mods in riverwood. Helgen is a very scripted location so bugs occur there many times if you have a very scripted-mod oriented game. You can also download Tes5edit, load all of your mods and compile them. There is a possibility that Tes5edit discovers the problem.

[morogoth35]

Did you make sure to run FNIS? Not running FNIS when you have animation mods such as sexlab can cause that.

[PandemuLord]

I made sure to update FNIS, but I can double check that. Updating my mods in Riverwood wouldn't cause that much of an issue you think? It wouldn't cause my game to crash?

 

Someone else recommended bypassing Helgen with Live Another Life, but I don't really want that mod, I'm one of the few people quite fond of the Helgen intro

[PandemuLord]

And I did download TES5Edit, but I definitely do not know how to use it. I was going to attempt watching Gopher to learn how to clean mods, but I couldn't figure it out :/ will TES5Edit pinpoint any specific problems on it's own? Or will I have to go in there and manually check each one?

I had this problem earlier today after installing a few mods, the way I fixed it after uninstalling every mod I had just installed... well try using the command console, target yourself, "player.resurrect" then do "enableplayercontrols 1" if you're stuck moving slow, then do "player.forceav speedmult 100"

Dude, first of all, if you're just getting into modding, that is way too many mods at once. Slow down. Start with fifty or so of your top mods, then play for awhile. Add a few more minor ones. Play some more.

 

You absolutely MUST know how to use TESVEdit to run Skyrim. It's easy. You just have to make sure you have it installed in the correct location. Not that hard. Once you have it open, load only one master at a time. Never clean Skyrim.esm. From the STEP guide you need to read if you're just starting out--it will teach you proper modding and give you a good selection of mods: http://wiki.step-project.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit_Cleaning_Instructions

 

You're concerned only with instructions 4-8. Save every time you close out. Load them one at a time and close--don't try to do them all at once. Clean the DLCs next. Make sure to clean Dawnguard twice. Yes, twice. It doesn't matter if you think it's redundant, do it anyway because this fixes some kind of reference error with multiple adoptions, I think. I know you must clean it twice.

 

Then, you're going to have to run WryeBash. If you see orange boxes, it's not that your mods are out of order, it's that the mods aren't in the order that the orange-boxed mod expects. Easy fix. Open TESVEdit, load those mods one at a time, just like when cleaning, right click, select Sort Masters. Don't worry that it doesn't look like it did anything--it did. Close and save when prompted. Done.

 

Last, never have mods loaded at all or even installed when you are slogging through Helgen intro scene!! That is the single most heavily scripted piece in the entire game, and it's very touchy. Your clean save should begin after you exit the cave once you escape from Helgen. Then start installing mods, but back up your clean save first.

 

Also, did you tweak your ini files at all? Do you use BethINI? Why not? What about Skyrim Performance Monitor? Why not? Both are necessary for diagnosing problems/fixing them. A great guide for understanding and tweaking inis.
