Confusing CTD on save

[NikiRandom]

Just adding to this in case anyone else finds it helpful.

Turned out that iNeed was causing the CTDs. I was on the verge of dumping my game and starting over but I thought I might as well try removing some mods as the game was borked anyway.

No reason for picking on iNeed first, other than I know it to cause issues sometimes. I also thought the crash log reference to a levelled list might be something to do with iNeed classifying food/drink items.

Problem solved anyway, apparently. I played for about a day (irl) with no issues. Some crashes but they were fixed by using Resaver to clean up iNeed's leftover scripts. I then reinstalled iNeed, and all seems fine still, for now at least.

I did notice while googling for solutions to the problem, that some other needs mods appear to cause a similar CTD on save. I wonder if it is something to do with classifying items, but I don't know how to investigate that really.

I guess the main lesson I''m taking from this, is that Net Framework crash logs can be a red herring if you don't really know how to read them, like me. The reference to a levelled list was an indirect hint, but there was nothing in the log that directly pointed to iNeed.

Anyway, yay. Level 19 character gets a stay of execution : )

(Not sure now if this thread really belongs in this section, as it's clearly a mod issue and not Skyrim itself. Apologies, if anyone is moderating this)

Hi NikiRandom,

 

Was wondering if you managed to resolve this issue satisfactorily as I'm having what looks to be an identical problem here: CTD when saving. - Skyrim Special Edition Technical Support - The Nexus Forums (nexusmods.com).

 

I've never installed iNeed though... Only 'needs' mod I using is the official CC Survival one.

 

Thanks.
