ramakgaming Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've spent an entire 2 and a half weeks trying to fix Skyrim, with Nexus mods... and it refuses to work. I can use Steam Workshop mods only, and have no problems, but if I install ANY and I mean ANY Nexus mods, then when I open the game up and click on NEW, the game stops responding. If I load a previous save, the game will go to a loading screen like normal, but shortly after it will CTD, every time. It's been doing this for 2 and a half weeks, no one seems to be able to help me, and I can't help myself. Bethesda won't help me, because they don't deal with modding, Steam Support doesn't support other site mods. So I'm left with The Nexus Forums to find help. I understand there is a lot of posts on the forums, and someone may or may not be able to help me, but I hope to God somebody can, because this is the most stressful thing I've ever experienced as an adult. Skyrim is my favorite game, and I haven't been able to play it for 2 and a half weeks. I don't like it unmodded, it's better modded. I don't like to give up, ever. But I can't do this on my own, I have tried long enough and got no where. I have the latest beta driver for Nvidia, the last time the game was playable with Nexus Mods, I had the latest Nvidia driver but no Beta driver. I won't get to do a lot of fixing to the game today, due to important things going on, but when I can - I'll read what you guys say, and respond when I can and work on it as we go. Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Since it appears that your problem is with your video driver, go back to a restore point before the beta driver was installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakgaming Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I did, but it didn't fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Your drivers may not be correctly installed. NVidia changed the way to do this but didn't get the word out well. So if you use the update drivers function from the Steam interface, or from your own computer's control panel, you will have incorrectly installed drivers which will cause a huge number of problems. You can also no longer use the rollback function as it was intended. You may want to read this link and follow the instructions exactly, then see if your problem is solved. Even if it isn't, at least your drivers will work correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakgaming Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I already did that, and I had been aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's frustrating Ramak...I'm 41 and have lost a LOT of patience when things don't work as I wish them too. I'm telling you though...I have right at 100 mods installed and the last CTD I had was more than 2 weeks ago and that was user ignorance...not the fault of MOD makers..though I admit I'm quick to want to say "It's the MOD" when in reality...it's just a simple load order a lot of times. Give it a try if you haven't. See if it helps. Edited July 20, 2012 by Reaper0021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakgaming Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I do use BOSS, and it still makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper0021 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Okay. Then last thing I can say. Based on my OWN EXPERIENCE and nothing else. I did a full uninstall of the game, deleting all folders, reinstalled fresh and started with NO Steam mods. First, delete and unsubscribe to the Steam mods so they don't load up when you reinstall the game. Then, do the Nexus mods you want 1st one at a time. I did this when I had messed up my game BAD with scripts, bad .ini files, etc. Maybe try that. Edited July 20, 2012 by Reaper0021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakgaming Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 I will try that and get back to you on it as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakgaming Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thank you for that information Reaper0021 - IT WORKED! I can finally play the game again! HOORAY! This is something that needs stickied, for in case others have this problem, it can be easily found! Okay. Then last thing I can say. Based on my OWN EXPERIENCE and nothing else.
