CTD after certain amount of GAME TIME

[Demonik420]

Hey guys wondering if anyone knows a solution or a cause to this problem...

 

I seem to have reached a point in my game where it CTD's at a certain game time no matter what I do, Im wondering if this is mod related or if anyone has any ideas.. basically no matter how far back i go in my saves it crashes at the same date in skyrim.. for exaple in my current save if I wait 24 hours it CTD's on the 25th hour if i go to wait a second time. I had some saves that were further along and went back to try and fix it. In my older saves that were further along i kept getting a CTD but i never realized that I was getting it on the exact same date and hour until I went back to erlier saves and waited until that time.

 

So in other words I cannot get past a certain time in my game weather I am playing it or sleeping during it or waiting during it.. Could this somehow be connected with some area re spawning or could it be some new mod that didnt kick in for a days time? anyone have any ideas?!?! Im really frustrated with skyrim I have had to fix so many problems in the past.

 

If anyone is having this problem or knows whats going on please let me know asap... I CANT PLAY MY FAVORITE GAME :(:(:(

(Important note at end of comment)

 

My "Skyrim crash after a set amount of time" is complicated. This is how_

My Skyrim crashes after a few seconds BUT, I can reload a save and play from that save for several hours until I reach the same game time as I had in the previous save that crashes after some seconds. From there on, if I manage to save, it will start crashing after a few seconds from there.

 

It is like there's a permanent deadline that I can't get past. It is so weird.

Note:

I have so far only witnessed two occurances of this, but I really really suspect that it will keep happening. I will report back and tell you if it keeps happening, and any potential solutions.

 

Report:

Due to circumstances (that will be explained now) I am not able to "witness" the specific crash. This report is a report of my potential solution:

 

I use LOOT and FNIS.

 

1.

I created a FULL mod backup in NMM and restored it.

Effect: Skyrim crashes on startup even though all plugins are green. (NOT literally green. Green is just a manner of speech for "it is as planned. Nothing out of the ordinary")

 

- 1.

- Fix: I used NMM tools to disable all mods. Every single mod that is disabled will be uninstalled and installed again manually by me.

- Effect: Crash on startup is fixed. Made sure to install framework mods before the mods that use the framework. ("framework mods" is a word I created for mods that need to be installed before other mods so that the other mods can work)

 

2.

Finished reinstalling framework mods.

Effect: Step 1 had zero effect on the crashing problem.

It would be great if the one that started this thread Demonik420 would've gone in depth on how they did what they did.

 

3. I will uninstall every single mod and make a completely clean save using FNIS, LOOT, and The skyrim Save Game Script Cleaner.

I will:

- Use NMM to purge unmanaged files.

- Use LOOT to orgnaise absolutely nothing. (It should be nothing)

- Use FNIS to set the animations straight.

- Use steam to validate files. Both Skyrim and SKSE.

______

- Some extra things I did: Uninstall and reinstall FNIS, LOOT, and NMM.

After all that, I will install everything again.

 

Effect:

Success! I can now play my game again successfully!

But I have no idea why, and I am very afraid that the crash bug itself is not fixed. But I am able to play for now without crashing.

It would be best for someone to investigate this.

 

 

Important note:

Everything is a success, but not completely. You skyrim WILL run smoothly and well if you solve it like I did, but after a few days, you will again encounter the same crash issue. Remember to store your items somewhere you can get them back after redoing everything above.

If you do this over and over, you will presumably be able to play Skyrim.

It would be best if someone found a better solution, although, my solution does work.

[bUG PERMANENTLY SOLVED!]:

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS.

This video fixed the issue for me forever:

Here's the part that's unbelievable:

Demonik420's solution WAS THE CORRECT SOLUTION. It was one of my mods that needed to be disabled because something the mod did (in all likelihood a Mod Conflict), was what created the crash!

This is so embarrasing! Checking mod conflicts like this one is the FIRST THING you do when trying to solve crash issues, but I didn't!

Just do what Demonik420 did, it worked for me too. Urgh, I feel like SUCH AN IDIOT! It is the FIRST thing you check!

Like 99% of modded Skyrim crashes are from mod conflicts, Jesus Christ.
