xTLx Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) So basically I've had a lot of issues lately trying to use mods both from Steam's workshop along side with mods from the Nexus. In preference of the stability and updates from this community I unsubscribed from all of my Steam mods, deleted old files, and did a complete re-install. Before I go bashing on how poorly some mods handled the newest update, I was pleasantly surprised that after updating to the newest script extender that my save games loaded hassle free and were not corrupted in any way to my knowledge. However after some short game-play I was once again plagued by the constant problems I had earlier that now remain unresolved. It seems that very specific areas of the game will always cause me to crash to my desktop without any error message occurring. The appearance of the game areas that cause me to crash appear extremely normal and to ensure that there were no issues with the game's cells I went into my house and had my character sleep for a week as to reset them. Unfortunately I am unable to explain exactly where the game crashes and it would be quite difficult to find a specific mod associated with these problems as the game seems to crash in the most spontaneous and unlikely places, although the places remain consistent. It could be travelling down a road or going into a building, but the same building or road always cause the game to crash. Some of these areas also seem to be very large and throughout the entire map. Currently I am trying to run the game on a laptop with these specs: Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Memory: 4GB Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 310m OS: Windows 7 64bit Edited June 12, 2012 by xTLx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 One place that most people never think to look for this type of crash (in a specific location) is removed mods. If a mod places something in a specific location, then that object (house, terrain, whatever) is used by the player and is included in a save - If that is later removed, the game may still expect to find it there and when it tries to load it - CTD. Try going back to a very early save - preferably before you had many mods if any. Then check to see if you can go into that area. Use the saves to zero in to the change that causes the problem - if one save works, and the next does not - what did you change between those two saves? If you started the game with a bunch of mods, you may have to start a new game with no mods to get it to work - in that case, it is one of the mods that you started with. MOST of the time, the game can handle removed stuff. But occasionally it can't. If you are going to remove a mod, first make sure your character is not anywhere near anything that is changed by that mod. Find an indoor location that has never been modded and make a new save there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took longer than I would have liked, but I was able to finally track down the source of my problem, or one of the issues anyways. I found a door in the game that would always caused me to crash to the desktop when I opened it, so I created a new save and went through my load order and started un-checking and checking mods with a fair dose of trial and error. I found that the culprit was a mod that adds leveled bandits and random attackers. I can't say I have much real technical experience with modding at all, but I'm assuming by uninstalling and reinstalling the mod carelessly I must have messed with how and where these characters spawned, or where they previously were to spawn before I updated and reinstalled the mod.
