Ok first

 

PLEASE tell me that's a typo for the size of your hardrive, because even with a minimum install of windows that's 1/2 the hard drive used up right there lol

 

your specs are not the problem ( uless that really is the size of your hard drive ), a crash to desktop when either starting the game or saving your character for the first time means you are missing a mod that another one requires. I would be willing to bet it's one of 4 possibilities.

 

1) Racemenu

2) skeleton

3) hair

4) body

 

Since the crash is happening when you try to save your character, I guarantee you you're missing a mod for one of those categories.

 

A LOT of people, not you specifically, think they can install mods on the fly and be fine. They skip over the description page where 9/10 times this is where the specific instructions AND requirements for the mod is located.

 

You need to check the description page for EVERY mod you have installed and make sure none of them require mods. Two main culprits of this are a certain look preset which can sometimes require as many as 10 mods lol, or a dependency for the categories I listed above.

No, like the game crashes while starting a new game from the main menu. It goes to load and almost finishes and then crashes before it finishes but I can still here the water drops from the dungeon that you start in from Alternate start but I can't get past it.

[gromulos]

as i said, you're missing a file, in this case a master file that another mod needs

 

also you need to swap these

 

5 5 Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Main.esm

6 6 Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp

NOTHING should ever load in between the vanilla files and the unofficial patch with the exception of Creation club stuff

Those are in the correct order. The author of Lanterns of Skyrim has stated, if you would read the mod page, that his mod works best if placed before USLEEP in the load order. Thus LOOT will almost always load the mods that way.

[nayakri]

I don't know if this will help, but have you tried TES5Edit? It helped me a lot - if something is wrong, it will tell you. Or show you that here you have a fatal error.

[ZodiakPlays]

LOOT put Lanterns of Skyrim above USLEEP automatically, and yeah I used TES5Edit

[nayakri]

Then I have no other help for you: try an old good way of fixing things... and turn off some mods. See if anything is working without them, if not, put them back on and turn off others. This way you may find what is bugged.

 

Or uninstall all mods and try installing them in small groups while checking if the game is running.

 

EDIT. I think you can ignore mods you know they should be working properly.

Actually Nayakri is almost correct. The BEST way to do it is:

 

install 5 mods

test the game

repeat till you're done and have no errors

Ok first, LOOT is NOT 100%, and if that's all you're going by, you WILL continue to have problems

 

Nope I read the entire description page AND the sticky in the posts section.

 

NO WHERE does it say anything about the load order for lanterns of skyrim - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/18916

 

Now on the other hand, this is a direct copy and paste from the unofficial patch page - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71214

 

After installing the mods, the following general load order needs to be followed:

 

Skyrim.esm

Update.esm

Dawnguard.esm

Hearthfires.esm

Dragonborn.esm

Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp

[Your other ESM files]

HighResTexturePack01.esp

HighResTexturePack02.esp

HighResTexturePack03.esp

Unofficial High Resolution Patch.esp

[The rest of your mods]
