Absolutely fed up with CTDs

[forthemods08]

Specs: i7-950 - Noctua h14 cooler

12gb dominator ram 1600 8-8-8-24 XMP

Radeon 6970 slightly overclocked using MSI afterburner with fan set to auto... temps are always good.

 

I have a lot of mods running, but I made sure to stick with mods that don't mess with the core game. When I get home from work, I'll update the thread with screenshots of my mod list. I have no conflicting mods according to BOSS.

 

I get CTDs randomly walking through Riften and other parts outside.. Most recently trying to enter the Ratways in the Thieves Guild.

 

I have disabled moonpath, the asteria, and dovakhin hideout which seemed to be crashing my game earlier... and I don't want to start a new character as I'm trying to max this one out...

 

What is going on with this game??? Has Bethesda acknowledged this issue?

Listing your mods here, or troubleshooting them one by one, might not be a bad idea even if you don't think they're of the type that would cause problems.

 

For example, I never would have thought Sounds of Skyrim was any concern, but when I read the comments thread it seemed a lot of peeps were having crashing problems with it. I installed the recently updated version of SoS and my game has been scary stable since. Played last night for 6 hours straight without one single CTD or freezeup.

You're right... when I get home I'll paste my mod list. I'm up to date for every single mod and have used NMM on a clean install of skyrim. Only manual installs have been 3rd person dual spell animation, the running with bow animation, and then superb enb series on the 2nd highest quality... I've been pretty careful with what I've been installing and this is the only game I play... I'm very upset with this..

There have been a lot of similar reports. It seems that Skyrim is not good for mod usage. In Oblivion you could run more than 200 mods and when you had problems, they were things like landscape tears and floating rocks. In Skyrim, you get like 40 mods and the game is pretty much unplayable. The people using the Skyrim mods don't complain so much about cosmetic issues like the landscape tears and floating rocks. What they always seem to have is CTDs.

I'm currently up to 150 mods and i never have ctd's. Fallout New Vegas was like that for me though. I can't even play that anymore because of the CTD's... too annoying. I think the key to extending Skyrim's longevity and having a playable game with lots of mods is keeping it simple. I don't use player made homes other than Deus Mons and i stay away from mods that use scripts like the plague. Some are okay but the fewer the better IMO.

Well, here is my mod list. I copied and pasted from BOSS. Is there a better way to list them without having to screencap NMM?

Just some comments from a non-techie-type: did you update your sounds of skyrim (or, if that doesn't help, try the crash fix that's now in the DL files). Are all your other mods up to date? Also, albeit I don't know anything about "cloaks" - I noticed the comment about using only 1 cloaks esp, but you have 3? (Again, not being at all familiar with that mod.) I also noticed you have better horses, which I believe alters speed, along with faster vanilla horses that would seem to do that as well. (Don't know if that's a problem tho.)

[forthemods08]

Yes.. every single mod is up to date according to NMM. I have installed the crashfix for SOS, and am only using 1 of the cloak mods.. (only 1 is active)

[forthemods08]

I've uninstalled faster vanilla horses, but I'm sure that wasn't causing a problem.. I don't even ride horses.

[Georgiegril]

Have you tried outting water absolutely last? its what the author recommends and I get random CTDs if I dont move it to load last.
