So I just recently built a house in lakeview manor today. And have spent a lot of money on the house. So I decided to leave my two kids for a little while and go do some dark brotherhood quests to get money. After a few hours I just finished the quest where I had to cure Dawnstar of its nightmare crisis. (Just destroyed the skull in the fort) So while I was walking out I decided to have some dark brotherhood action. I raced to solitude docks to complete the last one of Nazir's contracts ( Had to kill the captain of a pirate ship ) The pirates weren't too powerful but one of the pirates was a pretty powerful mage and made it really hard since the mage really aided the others. Anyway, I just killed the captain with the Wabajack after all else failed. So I decided since my spectral assassin from the spell and my companion were holding them off I could run out of the ship. Everything was successful I managed to get out and it autosaved but then skyrim crashed. I tried opening it again but it wouldn't work. I went to steam and looked and it and it said it was downloading something. So I waited for it to stop downloading which only took a few seconds... And then when I opened it again and went to the save it crashed again. I am pretty sure I wasn't getting any lag just one swift crash.

Yep I tried it again a few more times and I moved around pretty normal but after like 5 seconds it just exits skyrim in a poof.

Are you using mods?

If the answer to that is yes, then anytime you have problems with crashes it is best to post your load order.


What happens when you load a different save? Same crash, or does everything work fine?
