A Strange CTD

[JackNitro]

I recently installed a sizeable handful of mods, and my game is now consistently crashing. What's odd is that when it crashes, it gives me no indication that anything went wrong; no "Skyrim.exe has stopped working" or "data execution prevention" or anything. The screen just flashes black and then I'm back at my desktop, the same thing that it does when I quit the game normally. It's almost like it thinks its supposed to be doing it.

 

That's not all. The crashing is triggered pretty consistently, when I try to go a certain distance away from Whiterun in any direction (At least every direction I've tried). I can stay in Whiterun for as long as I want without so much as a stutter, but once I try to set off, kaput. I'm thinking maybe its trying to load something in the distance and quitting out.

 

If it helps, here's my PC Specs:

It may be caused by mods incompatibility.

What you can do is Uncheck all of your mods and see if the problem is still there.

 

If it's not, just check half of your mods and check again, if the problem pops up it means the mod causing the problem is part of the mods you activated, with a little of patience, by deactivating them one per one (or 2-3-4 at once, as you see fit) you'll slowly figure out the mod(s) causing the problem.

 

 

-EDIT-

I have those 3 set to zero as well so maybe it's not a mod incompatibility problem after all =P

Turns out that wasn't the problem, I was decieved >:(

 

EDIT: Ok, THIS Time, I've actually narrowed it down to one of three causes:

 

Dr_Bandolier.esp

BuildableHouse.esp

Convenient Horses.esp

 

EDIT: Now I know beyond any doubt that its BuildableHouse.esp - any Ideas what's causing it not to work?

 

EDIT EDIT: There have been new developments. It turns out that Buildable Houses wasn't the issue (though it still isn't working). Improved Combat Sounds was causing the issue - I think it was a conflict with SoS. Now it just occasionally freezes :/

Have you installed the ICS fix and the one for SoS?
