Please Help a Noob

[Esjai]

This posted ended up being super long, so I posted my details in this spoiler. It's just my story and can be skipped if you want.

 

 

I recently started playing Skyrim. After surviving COVID, I gave it to myself as a present. Of course I jumped in to the mods before I'd gotten much past killing my first dragon. I've read a lot of information about mods, load order, and SSEEdit. The problem I run into is it seems like a lot of the tutorials are written for people who are at least somewhat familiar with the game and its mods. I used to play The Sims 3 and modded for that, but I'm learning Skyrim is way more complicated.

I've had to repeatedly start my game over when I realize one mod or another just wasn't working in game. The worst was recently when I was level 20+. I'm frustrated but don't want to give up on mods completely, because I know they can add so much to a game. If I can get a smoothly running game with the mods I have, I might even be able to keep myself from going mod shopping again. Maybe. I think I'm addicted. Every time I go to look for a fix for a mod issue I come away with more mods.

 

I tried using SSEEdit to figure out if I had conflicts but I just can't make sense of it. I'm fairly intelligent, so I'm going to blame my COVID fog.

 

I don't want to be the noob everyone laughs at for making a stupid mistake, or ridiculed for not trying something, but I also want a game that works. So I'm pushing aside my social anxiety and asking the people on this community for help, because from what I've seen people here seem to be kinder than at a lot of other sites.

I am hoping someone here will look at my load order and help me make my game work. I really don't want to start all over again, so I'm hoping the make it work without having to remove any mods.

 

 

I'll give you the quick details here:

 

Tools I Use: MO2, LOOT, FNIS, SSEEdit

Problem: Can't have more than one follower at a time, despite having AFT

Attempts to solve: Moved AFT higher in load order; moved AFT lower in load order; read tutorials and tried to understand SSEEdit then gave up (sorry); cried; prayed to Kynareth

 

I've gone through about 8 starts of the game trying to get different mods to work (including adult ones which I ended up taking out and physic which I gave up on when the boobs wouldn't stop bouncing all over the place despite settings for low bounce). I thought I had it this time, but apparently not.

 

If anyone is willing to look at my load order of 178 mods I would be grateful. I'm hoping to be able to make it work with these mods so I don't have to start over again.

 

Any suggestions anyone has on any parts of the load order or even better mods to use (if I have to start over) would be appreciated, even if they don't have to do with the AFT issue.

 

Thank you anyone who even read this message.

**Update**

So by the process of elimination, I found that the problem was RDO, even though I had the AFT patch installed. So I removed RDO and Your Lost Child (which requires RDO) and started a new game. I also removed immersive needs because it just was starting to annoy me. Everything else is the same. Hopefully I now have a stable game, but if anyone happened to notice any other mods in my list that they know don't play well together, please let me know.

 

This topic can be marked as solved.
