gorky45 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hello all, Does anyone know how to create an interior cell that will not break the game. I'm talking about having a couple of house mods with maybe some new dungeon mods loaded in your game and then all of a sudden you start to get CTD in the wilderness for no reason, or you enter a vanilla dungeon/fort and sections of the architecture is missing. Any help would be nice because at this point, many mods including my own, are no longer in my game and now I have trouble free game play. It's really sad because I know it's the buggy CK/Skyrim and not the mods themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Many mods are probably dirty because their authors did not clean them well. Some people say that if two Skyrim mods both move the same vanilla Skyrim object, then you get a CTD. I will have to purposely test this some time. If you use faulty mesh and texture packs (or ones that were installed wrong) it could break houses and dungeons by having pieces of them be invisible or missing. It can be hard to differentiate the CTDs caused by vanilla Skyrim from the ones brought on by mods. Out of the box unmodded Skyrim will still give you CTDs. I would recommend only using mods that add interior cells if they are properly navmeshed and place this data in .esms to get out around the navmesh bug. It seems that the problems caused for actors by bad navmeshing could cause enough instability to crash the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorky45 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 @David Brasher Thanks for the information. I think you are on to something about esming a mod but that is no guaranty. I think it helps in a big way though. Unfortunately many mods are not packaged that way and for me I can't get TESedit and other apps to work on my PC correctly. So I guess I'm done with Skyrim. The sad part is Bethesda is going to release another update that will break the game in a new and different way. BUT at the same time, their gaping bloody wound of a construction Kit goes unchanged. Thanks again for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
