Can't Start a New Game

[MurderSheWrote]

Okay, so about a month ago I overloaded my Skyrim with conflicting mods and it crashed, so I uninstalled everything and stopped playing it for a while. Now I come back to it freshly installed, only put in mods that I know won't conflict and I can't start a new game. The main menu simply fades out, leaving the Skyrim logo with the background music playing.

Disable some of your mods. that is main fix, your screen is loading and will take a very long time due to some of your mods. if you have Val blacksmith mods, disable those. IF you dont, just experiment an disable a few and see what happens.

If you disabled those mods, and you still have a problem, they are not the problem.

 

What you do is this: enable the first mod on the list, disable all others and try that mod with every other mod using only two mods total at a time. If you don't find the glitch, do it again with the second mod, and enable all mods, on at a time below that one on the list.

 

e.g.

 

Enable:

-Bards Instrument Fix as your first mod to test with, then enable Increased Bounty Rewards as your conflict testing mod.

No problem?

Disable increased bounty rewards, it is ok

 

Enable

-Midas Magic - Spells for Skyrim

 

No problem? OK, it is clean, disable it and try again with

 

 

-Sounds of Skyrim - The Dungeons

if it turns up clean, try with another one paired with bards instrument fix, et cetera ad infinitum until you find your problem. It's boring, but it works. Take not of the conflicting mods and then decide which ones to keep.

There has been a new Skyrim patch recently. Are you up to date? Is your SKSE up to date? If you use Dragonscript is it up to date? (No dragonscript patch for latest Skyrim yet) Do any of your mods need updating?

 

Disable all mods, start a new game to test

 

If that works, then add a few at a time to see if you can find the conflicts. BOSS helps, as does Wrye Bash.
