Requiem is my stumbling block - any ideas? : V

» Tue Oct 08, 2013 7:36 am

Hi everyone,

I'd consider myself a "B" student of modding at best, but I have done everything I am supposed to to get this right, and have not had any succcess. I really need some help, and I hope I can find it here. :smile:

I really, really want to play Requiem. But it just don't work with the mods I have installed. I am getting CTDs every 3 minutes or so (always exterior). When I don't have Requiem, and use all the mods in my list, I get no conflicts and no CTDs.

I have:

-- Checked install instructions for every mod (for install order and for obvious conflicts)

-- Used BOSS (no conflicts detected)

-- Used TES5Edit to check for conflicts (no conflicts detected)

-- Cleaned all mods I should be cleaning (and not cleaned the obvious ones, like Unofficial patches, Falskaar, etc)

My machine is new and certainly powerful enough to run the mods I have (16GB RAM, 2 GB NVIDIA GTX760).

My question for the community: based on what mods you see here, are there any obvious candidates for why Requiem is breaking my modded game? I'm entirely willing to admit I am overlooking something, but I have done so much work trying to figure this out, that I'm about to give up.

Thanks guys.

One idea is to move the Requiem mods to the very end, as that is advised in its readme. Also, did you start a new game? Or did you use a previous save? Normally mods that affect the whole game recommend starting a new game.

My other idea is to deactivate everything but Requiem (and the DLC). Then seeing if that works. Then adding back the appearance and UI mods. Finally, adding the gameplay changing mods in one-by-one.

Mods are ordered as you see them in the post (so, Requiem and its patches at/near the end, except for Alternate start). This is using a new game.

I did think that, but I just wanted to make sure. (I know when I first starting using a mod like Requiem, I just used a previous save, even though it recommended otherwise.)

How soon after you start a new game does it start crashing?
