tatt0o Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 quoted from the quest mod Sea of Ghosts file description "If crashes or failure to load assets/areas repeatedly occur, it is caused by Skyrim's limited memory reserved for the use of .esp (mod) files. Try changing the load order first as the issue can sometimes cause "incompatibilities" between mods that would otherwise work together. If it still won't work, then disable other mods one at a time until it does. There is no need to comment on these issues unless you have more details on the technicalities.An alternate solution to this is to turn the .esp file into a .esm master file, using a 3rd party program which can be found on Skyrim Nexus." I load up a clean save (with the mods already disabled during the save and then renabled for the load) and the game crashes before it fully loads.Essentially all I'm trying to do is get a bunch of quest mods to work, but I fear that I may have overused the memory of the esp files. Is there a workaround? I mod manually without any of the managers. I've tried messing with the load order in DATA FILES under the skyrim startup menu as well. The mods giving me trouble are Moonpath to ElswyrDead ManorSea of GhostsClub ObosRealms of the Daedra Any help would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this first, it can merge, convert mods etc.http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1840 If that doesn't work. Do any of those not already have an esm file? If so pick that one and convert it, the larger the better. The esp confusion is the reason I abandoned modding my fallout projects I had in the works, a large quest/companion mod, when they nerfed/broke esp's. However Esm's seem more reliable now, so I would turn the biggest of those mods that doesn't already have an esm into an esm, and see if that fixes the problem. New Modders should note that working with ESM's seems the only way forward if you make a fair sized mod, put as much content into it as you can, otherwise people will be forced to choose between your work and others. Hopefully esp's will get some more love one of these days, we'll see :) Another utility to convert:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5064 Note I make no guarantee it'll all convert right to an ESM, but things seem smoother these days. Also you might even be able to turn one that has an esm already into a second esm, you weren't able to do this in previous games, so that is on you for testing/re-search Edited May 14, 2012 by Markmid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markmid Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Also found this posted elsewhere, worth looking into, might alter memory limits, might not. You can test though easily enough. how i fixed instant CTD on my setup open skyrim .ini in documents/mygames/skyrim go down to the bottom [papyrus] section (if its not there add it!) add the lines: iMinMemoryPageSize=100000iMaxMemoryPageSize=5000000iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=1800000000 Only thing that would work for me. i was ripping my hair out too! lol Edited May 14, 2012 by Markmid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
