Endless earthquakes make Skyrim completely unplayable.

Post » Mon Aug 25, 2014 7:07 am

So I have... Well a lot of mods (it takes a LOT of modding to make Skyrim's leveling/enemy/loot system similar to Morrowind). While I suspect this is very very likely due to a mod conflict, I have absolutely no idea, no idea at all what mod could possibly be making this happen. As NONE of them say a THING about earthquakes or shaking, and googling Skyrim+earthquakes does no good, googling Skyrim+shaking only shows stuff caused by hardware problems, which isn't my issue. Here's a list of all the mods I'm using at once.

I also tried to experiment with mecha dragons off, and it didn't work. The first time the permanent earth quake happened, was after a tiger from Prides of Skyrim, was fighting against a mudcrab, and shortly after both creatures hit each other, it kept shaking forever. The second time I went through another playthrough with no Prides of Skyrim, and this time the ground started shaking as I took a stolen horse to Winterhold College. As I dismounted the ground kept shaking forever, I did run past a mechanical dwemer dragon from Dwarven Mechanical Dragons mod, so just in case I disabled it, reloaded a previous save, and yet I was STILL having earthquakes after I dismounted there after running all the way back.

(And before you ask what XemorahIslandMassiveUpdate2014 is and assume that relatively unknown mod is behind all this because it's less famous than almost all the other mods, it's a self made mod, and isn't related to the bizarre earthquakes I'm having)

The one thing I did notice was, the shaking only occurs outside, it doesn't effect interiors, but once I go outside into an exterior it's unplayable again. The permanent earth shaking is such an odd bug, a seemingly almost unheard of one, and I'm completely stumped by this. If someone could tell me which of this mods is likely the culprit behind this, I'd be extremely thankful, cause I just want to be able to play Skyrim again, which I haven't been able to do since I started playing again just a few days ago, because of these mysterious earthquakes that just won't go away.

Deactivate them in blocks of ten at a time. Keep track of the blocks. Once your problem stops manifesting, reactivate all modules associated with that mod and then focus on those ten, deactivatign them one at a time until you have your culprit (or at least one of them if it's a synergistic effect). Do NOT make any saves that you intend to continue on with such huge portions of your load order missing.

Wrye Bash can help with the reactivating all modules associated with a gamesave.

Also, your USKPs are a bit out of date.
