Perfect Legionnaire - CTD Issue and Solution

[breakbeatscientist]

I have been having consistent CTD issues with perfect legionnaire:

 

Certain spots on the world map including the pass between the Rift and Falkreath near High Hrothgar

 

Other Cells:

Underkeep

Calmelco's Lab

 

Intially I assumed there was a conflict between PL and Immersive Armors. And I am still not convinced there wasn't. Opening a chest with the Imperial Knight armor from Immersive Armors caused an immediate CTD. So I am guessing that is an issue as well.

 

I won't say I understand why it was happening but apparently the .esp which comes with it was causing the issue and according to the forums it was resolved. However this patch wasn't in the automated download for the Nexus Mod Manager. Going to the files tabs on the perfect legionnaire page shows the patch:

 

https://rd.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1061?tab=files

 

It was a simple matter of installing the patch over the original file and all CTD issues appear to be resolved. I suppose this is a lesson to taking a more manual active approach to modding your game. These aren't "out of the box" solutions. Creating a stable build with the mods you like should be carefully approached.

 

Properly Installing Perfect Legionnaire - Imperial Armor Reforged 6-0 with Immersive Armors:

 

1. In game using either the MCM or the Immersive Armors Power:

 

• Sell any Imperial Knight armor you have stored or in inventory and make sure the sell resets
• Disable Crafting and Distribution of Imperial Knight Amor
• Wait for the message on the top left of the UI to say Immersive Amors is done configuring
• Save your game
• Make a note of your current mod state (Using Nexus Mod profiles with the Save Game # and Location will do it)

2. Download and Install the main Perfect Legionnaire - Imperial Armor Reforged 6-0 File either manually or with a mod manager. This is the second file on the files page. It is also the file that automatically downloads from the main page

 

3. Install the 6.0 Patch.

 

4. Enjoy Imperial soldiers properly dressed for the weather and the long war ahead with the stormcloaks!
