CTD trying to load and freeze at new game

[TheLoveTrain]

So I've installed some mods. I got it all working and the game worked fine. I then copied the entire installation folder to keep a backup. Then I played the game and realized my quiver was on my back as usual and not on the belt like I wanted to to. I began uninstalling (with NMM) XPMS, Dual Sheath etc. and then reinstalling them to get the right setup. I then finally used BOSS and then ran the Reproccer using SUM.

 

Now my game crashes when trying to load AND it freezes after trying to create a new game. When it freezes the SkyRe thing about version pops up as per usual and I click 'OK' and then my screen just stays with the smoke etc. Nothing happens, and the music keeps playing. I can move my mouse around as well.

 

I then thought maybe i f***ed up, so I decided to try running from my backup... same problem. The only thing I know of that 'fixes' it is reinstalling the entire game... and I've done this 3 times now.

I bet you didn't run FNIS after uninstalling animation mods.

[TheLoveTrain]

I don't have FNIS installed at all. Is this a must?

 

I thought it wasn't needed...

 

I use XPMS, Dual Sheath Redux, Immersive Animations (+the running and jumping animations), Deadly Mutilation, Realistic Ragdolls and Force and Chesko bow animations.

You HAVE to install FNIS if you deal with animation mods.

[TheLoveTrain]

So how should I install these? I'm unsure as to how this works to be honest.

 

Uninstall all. Run FNIS generator.

Install Realistic Ragdolls and Force

Install XPMS

Install Immersive Animations

Install Immersive Animations running and jumping add-on

Install Deadly Mutilation

Install Deadly Mutilation Skeleton Fix

Install Chesko Bow Animations.

Install Dual Sheath Redux

Run BOSS

Run SUM and patch Dual Sheath Redux and SkyRe

Run FNIS generator?

 

Does this sound correct?

I seem to have found a way to at least create a new game... If I delete the My Games\Skyrim folder and run the launcher. It will run a new game. However, then I can't access the mod settings available ingame, and it seems SkyRe doesn't run as well... (And this is WITH bEnable(...) set to 1)

 

I've look at both Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini and they are identical (The somewhat working and non-working ones)

I've even copied over the folder SkyProc (containing consistency files) from a non-working version of My Games\Skyrim with no change.

<p>Only folder left is the SKSE folder which contains 2 log files. The only different is the line: SKSE runtime: initialize (version = 1.6.13 09200000 01CE53672D3561A9, os = 6.1 (7601)) where only the longest string of numbers differ...

Seems like some lines in .ini files can break new game start.

Try to delete Skyrim.ini, SkyrimPrefs.ini and run the game.

And yeah you need to run FNIS every time you fiddle with animations.

It's not the .ini files. Essentially what I described just turns off all the mods. (For some reason, do not know why)

 

EDIT: Seems to be because it turns them off when creating the new .ini. Then I enable them all in NMM and all the bugs (CTD and freeze) reappear.
