Random CTDs. Too many mods?

[Vulon]

I've gone overboard with adding mods lately, and while my performance overall is surprisingly good in most aspects (some stutters here and there, occasional frame-rate drops, etc, nothing too frustrating), I have been getting CTDs at seemingly random intervals. Sometimes I'll get them in quick succession with no apparent correlation (i.e; I talked to an NPC , the menu froze up, and I crashed - rebooted, talked to the same NPC with no problems, exited Dragonsreach, ran around the city, and all was well until I took one look at the map, then it crashed again) and sometimes I'll be able to play a quest or two or wander around the world with 0 problems, fast travel around without much difficulty, and then, for example, get locked up in a menu or something like that.

 

I looked up a few random fixes online, and one that seemed to work very well for a lot of people was looking in their appdata folder , finding that they had a duplicate 'skyrim.esm' written in their plugins document, and deleting it. I gave it a look, and didn't see any skyrim.esm located anywhere in the document. Which I assume isn't a problem, in that case, seeing as how I can run the game.

 

So I thought I'd come here and ask for any feedback, fixes, work-arounds, etcetera that anyone has to offer. I'll post my load order list for reference. I'm aware that the order is most likely atrocious. I'm also not sure it's entirely up to date or reflects my most current order, since I copied it from the appdata folder and it was last modified two hours ago. I'm pretty sure I've made changes since then. I tried using BOSS userlist manager, but I can't say I really have a handle on how it works. Half of the time it didn't seem to change anything, and other times it deactivated almost all my active plugins, which I would only discover upon loading my game and finding myself in a random location with no hair, clothes, or eyes.

Ugh, thats a fu.kload mods :). Try to run TS5edit, it will tell you what causing the CTD

And ofc BOSS would tell you about UDRs

Haha, thanks for the tip. I did try running it before, but I didn't really bother trying to figure it all out. I've decided to cut back on mods for the time being, though. So far I've deactivated probably over half this list. I'm hoping that'll do the trick.

For me TES5edit stops after it detects a mod what causing CTD. If its stop at init phase, then game would CTD at startup.

At my issue happend that it started to load mods, one after another, then it stopped at one. I fixed that, and was no more CTD

And as i edited my post, you should try BOSS, maybe you need to clean up some mods.
