CTDs, help me out?

[AIIYS]

Welp, I reinstalled skyrim cause my last install was crashing and I couldn't fix it, and I've gone pretty barebones in terms of mods this time to try to keep it stable.

Well, still crashing, and I just need someone to tell me why.

Pls

end of my rope here, guys

Well, that depends if it still crashed before you installed any mods at all.

Well

I've had the game run perfect at around 180 mods before. What broke it was me updating a few mods. Ruined my install. Since then I've not been able to get the game stable again, even after reinstalling it twice, reducing the mods each time.

I'm at 71 mods now, and it still just CTDs with no error message or anything

First of all, too many mods can cause such instability that it doesn't matter what they update, they are simply too many, Second, most mods that crash the game (I guess you mean crash right after the Bethesda logo screen) crash it because you they are missing some core file and in terms of mods it means - if you don't have file that some mod requests to have - will crash. Now you said that you thinned number of mods. Now to your problem, you said before it worked with 180 mods - that was before reinstall, does it work without mods now?

nono, I can start the game. Play for some random amount of time, it isn't consistent. It'll just crash without warning during gameplay.

Anyway, I uh. Haven't tried to play without mods, I guess, so I can't really say. Can't imagine why it wouldn't?

I experienced this issue last time I installed 2K textures mod. I could play like 15-30 minutes, then it crashed out of nowhere. Should you be in possesion of that particular mod the best guess is that it causes these crashes. After I disabled that mod I played Skyrim for 11 hours in one piece. I recon that PC ram no matter how strong simply can't continously read such a big world improved with that kind of HighRes.

I've only got the same 2k texture mods I had when it worked perfectly? I've not changed anything since then other than severely cut down the amount of mods I've got in general

I suppose I could.. ugh. I could remove the few I have and see if it fixes it

Try disabling any 2K or higher texture mods. Really I mean it, I recently installed over 110 mods. All work perfectly, they improve graphics, immersion lights and FX, Static mesh, they are all good - but I simply abandoned all those 2K resolution mods. It was not worth the crashing. Really you can have even 200 mods in my opinion, but nothing highres, only does bad things to the game most of the time. Dunno if it worked for you before, but I can tell you that these mods are the Crash-Cancer I always experienced. Try it without them, and perhaps start adding those mods you removed before. Just no High Resolution Stuff.

Just in case, are you able to read a papyrus crash log?

I'll try what you've suggested, but yeah

Nope sorry, Ironically just today, few hours ago, I learned that it exists. :D
