Taffer42 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 My game has developed a crash, and I think I need some help figuring it out. (Please bear with me, I'm trying to provide as much info as possible.) I loaded up a game that is saved in Breezehome. I went out to the stables, bought a horse, and proceeded down the road towards the Falkreath border. Partway there I came across Barleydark Farm (for those who don't know, this is added content from Cutting Room Floor). This is where the crash occurs. 95% of the time, when I get to the point where I am getting the message "Barleydark Farm Discovered", my game crashes. I do not CTD, the game just freezes in front of me, and I have to "End Task" in the Task Manager. Now, I've spent all morning painstakingly removing mods (I use Mod Organizer 2) and retesting. As I was removing mods, I noticed the the crash happening less often. However, even when I get down to a pure vanilla install, the crash still occurs. So, I start up a saved game of a new character who's never been outside Riverwood, and repeat the process (go to Whiterun, buy a horse, etc.) This time using my full set of mods, I go back there, and no matter what I do I can't replicate the crash. So all this tells me something got baked into the saved game I was using. I'm now at a loss as to how to proceed. How do you try to diagnose this, figure out which mod (or mod combination) caused the crash? Or, was it just a fluke, a one time thing, and I shouldn't bother, since the newer save couldn't replicate it? Crashing is bad. I don't want my game to crash. But I also don't want to waste a lot of time for nothing. Any help is appreciated! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben446 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I have a couple of questions for you before I can offer advice. Before you noticed the orginal crash had you added or removed any mods mid playthrough? The reason I ask this is, as you stated it seems like something that was had baked into the save. Now if this was a conflict of two or more mods and one of which had been removed before, it could be that a script or something was hard baked into your save. By starting a new save obviously, the offending object/script that was hard baked into the previous save. So by starting a new save you would have corrected the issue you was having. If you hadn't added and removed any mods before the crashing occurred it may be worth doing a couple more fresh starts and see if this crash occurs again. Personally if its working now, I wouldn't worry about it. But bare in mind adding and removing mods mid playthrough especially script heavy mods can cause issues such as this.

Taffer42 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 This is not a playthrough...I am modding the game before starting a playthrough, using downloaded saved game files to test it. I've loaded up the saved game in a Vanilla setup with only SKSE64, which informed me I was missing one mod it required (USSEP). I have since saved the game a few times after adding mods, but none of them report any mods missing when I load them up, so I assume they're okay. Since it's a downloaded saved game, that's the best I can do to answer that question. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffer42 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 How does one change the name of saves? Something within the Skyrim interface? Or just go into my file manager and rename the file like any other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
