diminishedtob Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hello forums, I started playing Skyrim on the computer not long ago, and I got some mods, but for some reason whenever I make a new game and change my sex to female, the game crashes. Do I need to get another mod to fix this or is it an error with one of the mods that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Are you using a lot of hair packs and/or a mod that adds a lot of tint masks (makeup options generally)? Post your load order and any decent sized texture packs or textures that affect females if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsharaMeradin Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 That many hair options would definitely cause your game to crash. It is too much for the game to load up at one time. Try limiting yourself to just one hair mod. Test the hairs out. If you don't like them then try one of the others. If you need some of those hair mods for other mods (i.e. followers or something) then you can activate them after creating your character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diminishedtob Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) How many hair mods would you consider I should drop to?So I got rid of a few of my hair mods, and now I can't change race without the game crashing, is this the same type of error, and I need to get rid of some more hair mods, or something else?

Kitska Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 what you can try is create your character as male, save, then press ` and type showracemenu. you can change gender etc. there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diminishedtob Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 So I can make female characters now, but whenever I enter helgen keep my game crashes, is there mods that put a lot of items in helgen keep that would cause this crash or is it just me.

IsharaMeradin Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 What I ended up doing was to create a preset for my character and then include the individual hair that I wanted. While my switch from male to female had been sluggish with the hair mod it suddenly became a near instant transistion. It all depends on what your system can handle. Another tip would be to deactive any mod not necessary for the creation of your character. The goal is to reduce how much crap gets loaded into memory so that more crap can get loaded for your char gen experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit77 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I had this problem before. Besides cutting down on your hair packs, my solution was I had to uninstall Auto-Equip Arrows, Shooting Stars and SkyBirds. After that I was able to create a female during the Helgen sequence. Or you could try Live Another Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODSTTR00PER Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have the same issue, A lot of mods but only one or two hair packs. Not sure about any solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
