CTD At Loading Screen, Help Appreciated.

[Deleted3765355User]

So after installing quite a few new mods, my game CTD's right after the Beth logo finishes displaying. I launch via SKSE, and this is my BOSS load order,

CTD at the logo screen is generally caused by mod dependencies. The game is trying to load a plugin with a missing master. The BOSS log doesn't list any but it could be one of the plugins from the list of plugins not recognized by BOSS (which you did not include).

 

I can tell you right now that given the list of mods you are using, you can expect a very unstable game. You are using several script intensive mods, along with mods that add many spawns and spawn points to the game (which will make worldspace travel unstable).

 

1) Cleaning: download TES5Edit from that link, follow the instructions on the page, and clean the plugins flagged by BOSS as containing 'dirty edits.'

 

2) Maintenance: I get a bit 'snippy' if I suspect a mod user has not read the documentation for the mods they are using....go through your BOSS log and attend to the error messages, such as:

 

 

 

• Cloaks.esp Active
• Cloaks - No Imperial.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one cloaks*esp
• Cloaks - Player Only.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one cloaks*esp

 

As the mod description says, use one of the plugins, not all of them. Since you are also using a number of other 'give more stuff to NPCs' mods like Immersive Armor, you should remove the optional plugins for cloaks of skyrim, and use Wrye Bash to generate a Bashed Patch to merge the conflicting leveled lists.

 

 

• Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Climates of Tamriel - lvl-3.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One esp.
• Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Climates of Tamriel - lvl-2.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One esp.
• Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Climates of Tamriel - default.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One esp.
• Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Climates of Tamriel - lvl-1.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One esp.
• Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Climates of Tamriel - lvl-4.esp Active
  • Note: Use only one Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One esp.

 

Always read the mod description and readme....

 

 

XFLMain.esm Active

• Incompatible with: UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp

UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp Active

• Warning: UFO - Dawnguard AddOn.esp required to work properly with Dawnguard (Official Bethesda DLC)

You get the drift. Go through the BOSS log carefully and attend to all the error messages.

 

If BOSS generated a list of plugins not recognized by BOSS, now is the time to post it (enclose it in a spoiler tag so it doesn't clutter the screen).

I will follow your instructions. I admit most of my installation was lazy, as every mod on that list was installed today. It's taken a tremendous amount of time, so I admit I was a bit sloppy when touching things up. Here's the Unrecognized list;

 

 

• WayoftheVoice.esp Active
• Cities Are Cities Solitude.esp Active
• Cities Are Cities Windhelm.esp Active
• IHSS.esp Active
• KMKSoulGemCraft.esp Active
• DragonFastTravelRedone.esp Active
• AlchemistsHiddenValley.esp Active

[ripple]

Try disabling the plugins for the unrecognized mods and see if you can get past the logo screen. If you can then you know one of them is missing a master. If not, then we'll have to dig deeper into your load order.

[Deleted3765355User]

Unfortunately that did not work.

 

I should also mention that I installed the community uncapper into my steam/steamapps/common/skyrim folder. I removed it, but is it possible that affected it in some way?

[ripple]

The uncapper shouldn't cause any CTDs at all, so it's not likely to be the culprit for the logo screen CTD. Try and load all your plugins in TES5Edit and do the cleaning. If TES5Edit stops loading the plugins and bounces you an error message, the plugin which halts the loading will be the culprit. Edited February 25, 2013 by ripple

Well I'll be damned. It was Lanterns of Skyrim of all things. I assumed it was irrelevant, but I remember just recently updating it to the COT version to try and reduce a flicker effect.

 

I thank you for your help! If I could endorse you I would haha.

[ripple]

No problem, but before you get too excited and dive into the game, I'd recommend trimming the load order to remove the mods that will over-stress the engine and starting a new game (so you don't have to deal with any issues caused by orphan data left in save games from uninstalled mods). It sounds like you haven't invested much time into any save games yet, so this is a good time to do that.

 

Also, the unrecognized plugins will need their load order arranged manually (and you should clean them as well, since they may contain 'dirty edits' and BOSS will not inform you of that since it does not recognize these mods). The best way to do this is to load all your plugins in TES5Edit, and check the unrecognized plugins individually to see if they contain conflicting records with the other plugins in your load order. No conflict means you can load them any where in the load order above your compatibility patches (e.g. ReProccer). If there are conflicting records, then you will need to decided which plugin should 'win' and set their loading position accordingly.
