skyrim is CTD'ing

[Mazulissoup]

My skyrim special is crashing to desktop once irelleth gets to the western watch tower everything before then is fine

can anyone help me figure out why?

[Mavkiel]

It really can be anything. Are you running mods? Are you using Skse? If running mods, a ghetto way of trying to isolate the problem is turn off half your mods, try it again. If problem goes away, activate half your mods and try again. Keep activating/deactiving mods to you isolate the exact mod causing the issue. -- Note: It is not advisable to deactivate mods during a playthrough, so basically use this method to find the issue and restart

Been suffering a similar issue, been swapping out mods for the past week trying to solve it, still happens around western watchtower.

[anjenthedog]

Do you have any active mods that affect the area? Like maybe civil war stuff? And more importantly, what did you install or update around two weeks ago... ? (I recall reading some posts from people last spring when there appeared to be more traffic in civil war conflict mods, about crashes associated with the battle sites, like that fort just west of Whiterun that's normally occupied by bandits)

Sorry, I can't help with load orders. My eyes cross. I just don't have the experience to evaluate/analyze load order lists (yet). Not even my own. That's why I asked a couple of general questions. Hopefully someone with more savvy will answer. Good luck!

 

For instance, since I'm not familiar with most of your mods, Do you have any Whiterun revamp mods? Any mods to the giants or giant's area just to the north , or the fort across the road west from the western watch tower (fort Greymoor), or mods that change the western watchtower itself, or mods that affect the NPCs exclusive to the area (bandit upgrades etc), or mining mods in the area surrounding Whiterun? mods that chaneg the road? (I had one I had to uninstall, granted for another reason...followers wouldn't follow it in many areas due to some meshing issue the mod introduced) etc etc.

[Mazulissoup]

actually i think i MAY have gotten it uninstalled run and walk paces mod didn't crash after that will see how it goes

 

edit: nope still crashes fml

First, check through LOOT and make sure you have no warnings, and no mods that conflict with one another.

 

Secondly, your load order already has mods that don't have master files. For example, you have "InigoPerkPointGiver.esp", but nothing for Inigo. Get this sorted out and make sure there's no problems like this.

 

Thirdly, you'll have to uninstall mods sections at a time, and reinstall them. It doesn't need to be one at a time, as long as you keep a list of which ones are uninstalled (keep the bashed patch disabled if you want, until you figure it out). Personally I started by removing 5 at a time, finding the culprit, keep a manual log of every issue, installation, and uninstallation, and go from there (logs get big but trust me, it helps).

 

 

And finally, you can start by removing mods that add new equipment and creatures, even if they don't seem like they'd be a problem. And, as a side note, you do have MANY script-heavy mods (Frostfall, Campfire, Wet and Cold, Hunterborn, etc.) that could be conflicting with one another or something else. Take special care that these are 100% playing nice with everything else.

Latest update to xpmse I think has sorted my crash out.
