Constant CTD/Freezing when approaching battles / npcs in Exteriors

[Monkinsane]

As always, create a save you can revert back to before trying this.

 

If you are using a lot of scripted mods, try adding the following to your skyrim.ini file, this will give the Papyrus VM more time to do it's thing:

 

[Papyrus]
fUpdateBudgetMS=800
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000
iMinMemoryPageSize=256
iMaxMemoryPageSize=512
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600

bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
bEnableProfiling=0

For an explanation of what these do see: http://www.creationkit.com/INI_Settings_%28Papyrus%29

Also add the following to data/skse/skse.ini:

[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

See if this helps.
