Skyrim SE Crashes on save/quicksave/fast travel. Help?

[crc1014]

Game was running smoothly for an hour, then started consistently crashing on every save/quicksave/fast travel. I've included my mod list below. I use vortex to manage mods from the nexus. I'm new to PC and have no idea how to fix this. Thanks for taking a look at it.

Modding skyrim on PC definitely expands your potential, but unfortunately it does the potential problems as well. Think of any and all game issues as fitting into one of several categories of crashes or freezes. You've got the CTD on save, which is honestly not a great one to have. I've had 3 long playthroughs ended or ultimately ended because of it, and from what I've learned, there's multiple reasons for it.

 

First and foremost, get LOOT (load order optimization tool) and sort your load order. Vortex does a decent job sorting and identifying conflicts, but always run LOOT after adding or removing mods. Speaking of which.. don't remove mods on a playthrough unless it's only textures. Things from mods get "baked" into your skyrim saves and when you remove the mods you get potential issues. Most of the time it won't happen right away, but it WILL eventually when it comes to the CTD on save issue. Also, stop using quick saves and turn off the auto saves. When you start adding more script heavy mods you'll not want to use them anymore as they are very flawed.

 

In short, here's your most direct options to fix your affected character:

- load a save prior to any mod removal you did and refrain from removing the mod

- try using fallrim tools to clean your save (there's lots of guides that show you how, it's easy)

- load your save, open up the console (press the ~ key) and type "player.kill" without the quotation marks and hit enter. This will kill your character. Let it reload automatically. You should be able to save now.

 

The player.kill trick works most of the time, but if it does, you will more than likely have to do it EVERY TIME you restart skyrim. This will also only buy you more time. Eventually not even this will work or you'll develop more issues.

It would be easier to start again. If you are new, don't use large mods that change things all over the place, and don't use big, old, difficult mods that add large new areas.

I see SkyUI is uninstalled. Make sure you don't need it. Also be wary of anything that needs lots of patches.

Forgotten City and Beyond Reach should be treated as separate games. They worked well enough in their day but now look very tired.

Ease yourself in gently. If you are testing a new mod, don't bother to save until you are sure it is working. If that takes too long make a note of any interim saves for removal if necessary.

There are lots of small mods that can be removed during a playthrough, but usually not scripts. and particularly nothing that affects quests or dialogue.

Mine is CTD in a brand new game, on trying to make a manual save, or trying to load the game via the 1st, and only save the game made. Mods are all removed except:

 

SKSE64

Unofficial Skyrim Patch

SkyUI

Alternative Start - Live Another Life

 

But these were added AFTER new game start and 1st Skyrim.ini created, and these CTD's occurred even b4 ANY mods were added. Anyone who can help will be appreciated!

So bloody nice when no one bothers to answer a question and help is needed.

You need to tell ppl which version of the game you have installed, especially since there have been so many updates to the game from Bethesda, and at least one new source for the game itself.

 

If you are on the most recent version now, and are still having the problem, you probably should have tried verifying the game files through Steam. If you are on an older version, verifying the files will get you the updated version, and require new d/l and install of all of your mods.

 

If you do go the verification route, there is a 'downgrade patcher' that will allow you to change the game version to match the required version for your mod list.

 

FYI - The newest version of ASLAL is on AFKmods, and requires the newest USSEP. No older versions are available on Arthmoor's site.
