Skyrim Freezes

[SynValorum]

Skyrim freezes, randomly upon new save and quickly on old save, any suggestions?

I do not think that your load order is ok. Have you used LOOT to sort it out ? Have you clean your master files via SSEEdit ? By the way, Dawnguard must be cleaned twice and not only that, there are 3 files inside that DLC that must be removed manually. Look for that information in Steam, there is a procedure and you should follow it by the letter.

 

After you have done all of that, you MUST read the mod author description and look for load order and compatibilities and if there is a suggestion, you must do what the mod author says by placing that mod in the correct load order ( manually ). If you do not have any load order / compatibility in the description, read the posts because most likely, somebody asked that question and probably it was answered by the author.

 

Once you finished doing all that, you should be fine, assuming that you have a decent rig and nothing running in the background while running your game. The above procedures are standard and they are a "must-follow" if you want to avoid CTD's and freezes. If the problem continued, probably there may be some mods conflicting with each other. If you do not know how to do a patch for your game, and if the problem continues, then perhaps is better to start a new game from scratch and download/install 5 mods at a time, play for 1 hour and see if everything is running properly, otherwise, you need to find out which one is causing the problem, delete it and go back to your previous save before installing that mod and repeat that cycle till you get a full running load order.

 

It is time consuming but modding a game is not just donwload/install several mods at a time and run the game. There are several things that must be done to ensure the game will run as close as perfect and that is not something that can be done in 10 minutes. Unfortunately, we have to do this if we want to avoid the unwelcome CTD's and freezes. Happy gaming.

The first thing that stands out like a sore thumb is not only that you have Lanterns of skyrim.esp so low in your load order, but that it is an esp file instead of an esm. Aside from that, I don't see why loot would sort Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp so much higher than Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp. If sorting them with LOOT doesn't work, try reinstalling them. They may not have installed properly and missing files can cause CTDs.

LOOT loads Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp before Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp the majority of the time. It is not a problem with the installation and there is no need to reinstall the mod. You should manually load Ecksstra before Complilation, either in your mod organizer or in LOOT by using your metadata option in LOOT, which is what I use and obviates the necessity of manually moving the files every time you run LOOT.

I apologize if I seem to have previously suggested that Immersive Armors was the culprit or was the only mod that should be reinstalled. If cleaning the Masters and running LOOT doesn't solve the problem then I would uninstall all mods and gradually reinstall them to test at least to the point that crashes would typically begin to occur. I also suggest looking into why Lanterns of Skyrim.esp is installed as opposed to Lanterns of Skyrim.esm.
