Crashing after interacting in some way with Heljarchen Hall

[BoundByMoonsilver]

I've been having consistent crashes after I do at least anything with Heljarchen. It won't be instant (I don't think a specific action such as opening a chest or cell is causing the crash). However, after I visit or enter Heljarchen, I am guaranteed to crash within at least half an hour. Then when I try to reload any save, it'll constantly crash in under 10 seconds. I've somehow been able to fix my saves by making backups or cleaning them of orphaned scripts and STAYING AWAY from Heljarchen Hall, but again anytime I go into or right next to the house and interact with something, I'll get a crash soon after and whatever saves accessible from the pause menu are just screwed.

 

I am certain I could avoid crashing for the rest of my playthrough by just not going near that accursed house (and I've been playing for a day without crashing by avoiding the house), but I really like that house and I've spent so much resources on building it that I'm convinced there has to be some way of knowing how to fix this issue.

 

If anyone has any advice please offer some.

 

Things I've tried:

-using LOOT and downloading any patches I might need

-wrye bash to make a bashed patch

-turning off auto saves

 

*One thing I noticed, my save folder in documents/my games/skyrim special edition... the two times I've checked it there have been like 600 autosave files in that folder even though I'm only seeing like 8 saves total in my in-game pause menu. I disabled autosaves to prevent that kind of bloat.

 

*If anyone suggests using SSEedit, I need to know exactly what to look for in that program because I don't know how to use it.

You're using quite a few mods that are rather demanding of VRAM. How much memory does your GPU have? If it's 3 or less GBs, you may simply be crashing due to running out of memory.

ELFX is also rather demanding of resources.

The fact that your saves (after interacting withHeljarchen) are messed up suggests that the saves simply have too much data dependent on VRAM to load without immediately CTD-ing due to the aforementioned memory issue. I used to have this exact same issue with my old 2GB VRAM GPU, except that it was every time I tried to exit Highmoon Hall.

Anyway, I'm familiar with about two-thirds of your mod list. I don't see any obvious conflicts, except that a lot of the mods will put a strain on a weak GPU possibly leading to CTDs.

 

Please list your rig's complete specs. Especially the GPU. Be sure to list it's VRAM. Why do this? You might have equipment issues causing your problems. For example: besides possibly too little VRAM, you might be having issues due to a weak PSU. A low-amperage no-name power supply can cause CTDs as well.
