Need a little advice and confirmation

[Delgren]

Good Morning !

 

I recently started playing Skyrim again, and of course, modding the game. So here is the thing. I upgraded my pc to better handle games like Skyrim, and everything else in general, so i started modding nearly a month ago. Im familiar with mods and basic things, like Mod Organizer, using Wrye Bash and TES5Edit. The problem was always the number of the mods i want to play, and because i don't really like merging plugins or left out anything i want to play with, my mod list is a bit long i think. Don't get me wrong, i can play without issue with the mods i choose, 1080p, Ultra, 60FPS. What im afraid of, is it safe to play through the game with a modlist like this or i need to cut out some things here and there to ensure stability over a longer playthrough? Im having 2 CTD's in 46 hours of playtime. One because of ALT+TAB (Fixed it seems) and the other happened randomly, started the game -> 1-2 min -> CTD. I don't know what happened, because after that, i played 2,5 hours continously without a crash or any issue, and everything was worked fine.

I attached my load order and mod list, so if anyone see a problem or some "that is a bad thing, don't do it" stuff, please help me out with some advice to get better.

 

I have a question tho...

TES5Edit is a very powerful and useful program, and i use it to solve conflicts. After create a Merged Patch it lists all the conflicts right? So if i fix a conflict in merged patch, there is none left right? Of course, i always read the descriptions and instructions of the mods to keep out conflicts between mods as much as possible ( like don't use Ordinator and SkyRE together, or Sacroscant with Better Vampires etc.).

 

Things to note:

- Always cleaning mods, if the author says its intended, i don't clean it, otherwise always

- Im use LOOT only for watch out dirty mods, i did my sorting manually based on a category system i read about here

- Im using TES5Edit Merged Patch to solve conflicts and create custom patches, all the conflicts i found is solved in this patch

- Im using Wrye Bash to organize Leveled Lists

- Tried to use mods with low script utilization

- Not using ENB fancy stuff, just one Weather mod and FXAA Post Process to keep performance high as possible, but maintain good looking game at the same time

 

 

I hope some genius will say: "You are okay brah, you are did the job fine", but i have this feeling, that i missed something, or did something really stupid, and after working and sorting out everything over a month, i don't want to start it over after i beat half of the game.

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

Have a nice day.

Without looking at your mod list, everything you listed is what I'd have advised. I assume you also have the Unofficial Patch installed.

 

Hate to say it but I think you're just running into the limits of 32 bit Skyrim with crashes. Special Edition at least can take advantage of your full system resources instead of just the first 2 gigs. Mods just sometimes have odd random conflicts that shouldn't logically be there also.

 

One thing I would suggest... I never use and ENB either. They always seem to cause issues, BUT the ENB Boost file that's required to run ENBs is great for unlocking a bit more resources and helping prevent a few crashes.

Yes i have the Unoffical Legendary Patch, and i also use ENBoost properly configured. ENB presets never worked for me...I love how those nice presets looking at some screenshots, they are truly beautiful, but none of them looking like how i wanted, maybe i missed something. But when i found FXAA PP injector and configured it to my taste, i stopped looking for ENBs, because combined with Vivid Weathers and some improved textures, my game looks better than those screenshots, sometimes i can't believe how a little program can make such a difference.

That's mighty mod list, well done, I had a scan and nothing I'm privy to jumped out at me, you seem very methodical. Perhaps you're over-overthinking.

Thanks for the response. After last night, i think you're right. I played a little more than 3 hours without any issue, not encountered any bugs, everything worked flawlessly. Time to start a back up of my work for harder times i think :) Thank you for your opinions.

That's great to hear dude, I should probably back up mine now too, thanks for the thought.
