Mod Corruption Including Backups That Worked Yesterday


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Recently started making a new player-owned castle for Skyrim. Finished the exterior a couple of days ago, tested in-game, saved and made a backup of the plugin (I got into the habit of making a backup after every successful test).

Today I fired up Skyrim and had a look around in-game, then proceeded to resume working on the mod.

At some point the game started to crash whenever I open the map. I assumed this was a simple case of mod corruption so rolled back to an earlier version (that previously worked).

Another crash when I open the map.

I went through all of my backups and now every single one is causing a crash to occur when I open the map - including the backups from the other day that worked.

I disable the plugin and no crash.

This is all on a clean save from before I even started working on the mod I might add.

How on earth are my backups suddenly corrupted? They worked the other day for crying out loud!

Somebody please help... I just do not understand how this is even possible.

I'll say it again, these backups worked the other day, and all testing is done on a clean save from before I even started working on the mod.

UPDATE
After hours of trying everything I can think of, nothing seems to fix this.

I have loaded the plugin into TES5Edit to look for anything amiss. Nothing looks out of place...

Renamed the plugin.

Been through all my backups and not a single one works. Even the ones that worked both the other day and earlier today.

Restarted Steam.

Restarted PC several times.

Rearranged load order several times.

Double-checked ini files for anything that should not be there.

Checked Papyrus logs. They don't seem to mention anything related to errors or crashing...

Tried banging my head on the desk.

Tried swearing at the monitor.

Tried searching on Google for anyone else reporting this.

Looked for anything that might help me on the CK Wiki.

Checked my data directory for any meshes or textures that might have been generated as lod files or something. I know, it's silly, but I'm desperate...

I just don't understand HOW this can be happening! It's almost as if something is stuck in memory... But surely after restarting my PC this would not be happening?

I had some strange crashes because of some "crippled" meshes from a personal mod I was playing around with. Took me some time to find out, the plugin of the main mod I am working on was alright all the time.
