Need help fixing an old savegame.

[Tru3blu3]

Hi there,

 

I have made a fresh Skyrim install and tried to update my mods to the latest versions so that I can resurrect my old save file but I keep getting a CTD on the load screen..

 

I have found the new versions but some are now obsolete, some are renamed and some have been combined etc..

 

The last time I was able to play Skyrim, the SKSE version was v6.1 (7601) and according to wrye bash, my last savegame depended on the following mods;

Missing Masters for: save 49 - michael  skyrim  162.15.00.ess
xx Unlimited_Rings.esp
xx XXBookOfConsole.esp
xx XXBreezehomeshelves02.esp
xx XXCommandHorse.esp
xx XXCraftable Arrows.esp
xx XXdD - Easy Lift Bodies and Objects.esp
xx XXdD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp
xx XXdD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Realistic.esp
xx XXEssential Frost.esp
xx XXEssential horses - all horses.esp
xx XXEssential Karinda.esp
xx XXEssential Markarth horses.esp
xx XXEssential Riften horses.esp
xx XXEssential Shadowmere.esp
xx XXEssential Solitude horses.esp
xx XXEssential Whiterun horses.esp
xx XXEssential Windhelm horses.esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Ammo.esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Books.esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Food (Light Weight).esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Food (Reduced Weight).esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Ingredients.esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Miscellaneous.esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Potions (Light Weight).esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Soul Gems (PseudoVanilla).esp
xx XXHeadbomb's Better Sorting - Spells.esp
xx XXhideout.esp 
xx XXkillable_children_1_01.esp
xx XXkillable_children_qp_aventus.esp
xx XXkillable_children_qp_nelkir.esp
xx XXRealistic Lighting - Full.esp
xx XXRealisticWaterTextures.esp
xx XXRevisedHorsesFeeding.esp

 

hideout.esp is an early version of Dovahkin Hideout and BreezehomeShelves are both made by Shawk.

There is a few mods that aren't on the list like Quality World Map with Roads, and a gold coin texture mod.. I also have a folder called TESV Acceleration Layer or something.. which I think is a performance enhancer.. would I need to update that?

And is the Easy Lift bodies mod part of the ragdoll one or is it a mod itself coz I can't find it..

 

Log after a crash.. note that I think all of the Warnings are only happening when Dawnguard/Heartfire plugins are active. With them disabled, I only get the top 3 lines in the log.. But that could be a coincidence.

My question is.. which mod(s) could cause a CTD that I haven't already updated? Or maybe some of them can't be updated and have done irreversible damage like Realistic Water Textures?

Could it be the updated version of Skyrim itself not working with my save / old mod data which is dormant in the save..?

Also, both Dawnguard and Hearthfire are highlighted in red in wrye bash.. is this normal?

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.. oh and FYI I can start a new game and it seems to run fine with/without the updated mods.. But I really want to continue from my old save.

 

Cheers!

TESV Acceleration Layer will crash the game. Don't use it, it is obsolete.

[Tru3blu3]

Thanks for the tip.. I don't need it on my new rig so I will avoid it. I did try loading the game with and without acceleration layer though.

 

Update about my problem.. I have reverted back to my original Skyrim DIR and updated SKSE and ScriptDragon but the game still crashes when loading my most recent save :( I seem to remember being able to load that save without updating mods not long ago so maybe something in the last patch has messed things up.

I may or may not have had Skyboost active when my last save worked.. not sure because the acceleration layor is not compatible so maybe I tried Skyboost first and the Acceleration Layer after..

 

I am out of ideas to get this save working again.. I really don't want to have to restart the game as I had 162 hours clocked up on that save so I won't enjoy any of it if I have to restart >.< It will all be too familiar.

 

Can someone atleast rule out some of these mods being the cause? I doubt the setessential mods can cause it for instance.. and the gold coin texture. Better still, does anyone know if any of the mods above are known to cause CTDs when disabled/uninstalled?

 

Cheers.. hope someone can help.

Ok so I think I have narrowed the problem down to the mod called Command Horse which has been removed from the nexus >.< here was the old link http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5774

It was called Command Horse - Alteration Spells.

 

I basically loaded every save from my first up until my 18th and the 19th crashes to desktop.. the only differences are I installed Command Horse and another mod called BookOfConsole after 18 saves. So 19 onwards seem to be corrupt and I highly doubt that its the Book of Console as all that did was add in a new item (book) filled with all console commands.

 

So without an updated version of command horse or even the name of the mod maker, I am totally stuck. But atleast I have found the problem (Hopefully..) Could just be a coincidence.

 

I am not sure where to go from here in order to retrieve my save file but hopefully one of you guys will know what, if anything I can do next..

 

I have heard there is a way to surgically remove mod data from a save file somehow.. does anyone know about this?

 

Also I noticed that I downloaded a file called Skyrim universal 4gb memory patch around the same date I made my 19th save so could the 4gb patch have caused my save to become corrupt?

 

Cheers!
