byunnbi Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) I've been scouring the known world of interwebbery and was surprised that I couldn't find a single hit on a similar topic... Basically, I get an immediate CTD when I pay Galathil (altmer who offers to change PC appearance in Riften Ragged Flagon in Dawnguard xpac) the 1000 gold to change my appearance. Let me be more specific: 1) I have narrowed it down for SURE to the following mods: ApachiiHairFemale.esm (**NOTE: ONLY the 10 additional hairs available separately from the full v1.4 pack; the full ApachiiHair.esm works fine w/o CTD), OblivionHair.esp, CazyHair.esp, FhHair.esp, and Dibella's NPC Overhaul.esp. If any ONE or more of these mods are enabled, game will CTD. Without these (I have a total of 57 mods, each of which I have tested one by one), everything's fine. 2) The CTD happens consistently and every time I actually pay her to change my appearance; navigating through Riften or even talking to Galathil but refusing to change appearance will not CTD. I have logged about 30 hrs into this save without any issues anywhere else. 3) I suspected having used showracemenu earlier in this save file might have had something to do with it, so I started a NEW file, went to Riften, paid Galathil, but still got the CTD. 4) I've already tried reinstalling Skyrim/DG. Same issues persist. I can't believe that I'm the only one with this problem, especially since Apachii's hair mod is so popular, and I can't imagine I'm the only one who uses the hair pack AND wanted to change my appearance :confused: . Any help is appreciated, but I'm even more curious whether anyone's experienced anything like this! Thanks everyone for your input. UPDATE: No fix yet, but I've discovered more problems; I can initiate the makeover if I have ONLY ApachiiSkyHair.esm (v1.4), but when I try to confirm/exit the changes, I get a CTD. I'm temporarily concluding that ANY hair packs installed will crash Galathil's makeover option (tested and confirmed with Hairs of Fallout 3, too). I tried disabling all custom hair esm/esp, and I was able to initiate/complete the makeover menu w/o any problems.

My game just crashes, not to desktop, but freezes. I also have all those hair mods as well. Thanks for all your work in the testing. I guess I'll just NOT use Galathil. Shame we have to put up with some of this stuff. I guess that's the price we pay for modding the hell out of this game. (I have about 100 mods) Good luck.

aluckymuse Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) having the same issue...was hoping to find a solution. I had a khajiit character in the past that was able to use her services just fine, but now my nord crashes the game without fail.The only way I know as a work around is to open the console, coc unownedcell and then type in showracemenu. That place has horrrrrrrrible lighting however but it's so empty it doesn't strain the computer into a CTD. I'll have to find a better empty cell...I think there's a completely white cell mod that modders use for testing weapons and armor...that would be a good one...but I cant seem to find it on google right now.

Rabbit1251 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Try this: ShowRaceMenu Alternative. It's more stable than the showracemenu command and will let you change your appearance for free. This is the first that I've heard of a problem with Galathil. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassimoPB Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I have this same issue. I'm using two hair mods. Hair Pack and Oblivion Hair Pack. I use the console to do this anyway but it would be nice if I could do it legit by using this character and paying money to get it done. There is no way I'm using vanilla hair though...f that s#*!

zhamar Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I noticed that if you tell your followers to wait at a distance and you take all your equipment off it will not crash as easily as it normally does. I have Apachii installed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf81 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 This might, or might not help you guys.. but try using this Mod (if you dont already have it), Then talking to her again? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/33526//? Its the mod used to get around the "CTD with more than 50 hairs installed" glitch Skyrim had for ages. Though, looking at a bit of info, it may also help CTD's caused by lots of 'textures' shown during the race-menu change screen (which may be why Zhamar telling his followers to wait a distance away, and taking off his armor helped).
